u. S. Job Bureau to
End Tomorrow
For Lack of Funds
Boston Woman Tells Con-
gress Pre- mt Bills
Would Give the Unions
H old on Employers

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The Fed
eral Employment Service will go out
OF existence Monday. Congress has
failed to provide for permanent SER
vice and the emergency organization
is so completely out Of funds that 1t
is doubtful If it will be able to wind
up Its affairs in proper manner.
Early resumption of the work of the
employment service was made possible
to-day when the Senate, without debate
or record vote, adopted an amendment
appropriating 100000 for the service.
The House made no appropriation for
the work. The Senate amendment was
the result of private conferences be-
ween Senators, and is subject to &C.
ceptance by the House.
Opposition to the bills to provide for
permanent Federal Employment Ser
vice developed a point to-day which
the joint committee of the house and
Senate is inclined to investigate. This
occurred through the argument made
by Miss G. E. Cooke, Of the Massachu-
setts Technical and Commercial Asso-
citation, Of Boston, that several states
IN the South have statutes forbidding
the taking of labor from their boan-
daries to other states.
Miss Cooke was asked to prepare a
brief setting forth her viewpoints re-
gard'ng the creation of Federal sys-
tenn. Her chief complaint was that
private. agencies might have to clear
the public bureaus This, she
said, would be disastrous to the fee
charging Offices, as they would lose
the business of employers and thereby
be forced out Of existence. Employ
ers, she explained, often gave infor-
nation OF q confidential nature to labor
agencies. This information, If passed
on to the public clearing house would
fall into the hands Of the American
Federation Of Labor, she said, and
the labor unions would get possession
OF knowledge about shop conditions
of employers that would "be valuable
in the event of strike agitation" She
said that the American Federation of
Labor had been trying for wears in
massachusetts, to have the fee charg-
ing agencies clear their labor through
a public office. The proposed bills
would ultimately regulate the fee
charging agencies so heavily they could
not stay in business, declared Miss
Cooke.
Henry Sterling, chairman of the
legislative committee of the American
Federation of Labor, told the COM
mittee that the Federal employment
service had been indorsed in a resolu-
tion by the A. F. of L. at it's annual
convention in Atlantic City. Referring
to Miss Cookies point about the taking
OF labor from one state to another,
he explained that Southern states had
passed such legislation to restrain la
Dor agents from fostering the exodus
among negroes.

'Y Workers, Unable

Chafe at the Delay
5000 Secretaries and Enter.
tainers Face Months Wait
in France, While Soldiers
Are Crowding Transports
Ne.D York Tribune

Copyright. 1919. New York Tribune incj
PARIS, June 28.-The struggle to
secure accommodation on homeward
bound transports and passenger steam
ers. which recently reached perhaps
the highest pitch since the movement
homeward began, is causing many dis
appointments and some peculiar disor-
ganization Of plans.
The Y. M. c. A. recently purchased
1000 accommodations on the transpor.
Leviathan, and sent special represent
atives to the American army trans
portatioh Office at Tours. Unfortu-
nately. one of the Y. M. C. A. repre-
sentatives mentioned the 1000 pas
sages in the presence of an officer,
who Immediately commandeered them
for 1000 officers who were ready to
sail.
This illustrates the situation which
ganizations are facing. At the pres
ent rate it will be months before the
7: NJ. c. A. can repatriate it's workers.
With the American army of 100000
men in France and Germany being dis
patched homeward hy every possible
means, the Y. M: G: A. has 5000 work
ers in Europe, 1000 more than when
the army numbered 100000 men.
Of all the "Y" members who have
passed through the medical examina-
tion and been released only 1000 have
obtained transportation. The situation
reached its climax to-day, when the
Y. M. G. A. received notice that all its
entertainers must leave Germany by
Sunday, the "Y" secretaries to follow
shortly. This adds 900 workers to
those already awaiting transportation,
all of whom must be supported until
they are repatriated, perhaps months
hence.
The Y. NJ. c. A. has leased several
hotels at St. Malo, near sBrest, and is
shipping the released workers there to
await transportation. The workers are
opposed to this procedure. They OBJ
ject to being pooled in such a fashion,
preferring to remain in Paris or their
respective fields.
1t is reported the, Y. NJ C. A. is
seeking an army ruling subjecting in
subordinate workers to court martial

Senators Reject
Plan to Eliminate
Tariff Commission
Amendment Appropriating
10000, 900 to Purchase
Cape Cod Canal Stricken
From Sundry Civil Bill

WASHINGTON, June 2s-After more
than six hours debate, the Senate late
to-day voted 81 to 2 to reject the COM
mittee amendment to the sundry civil
bill proposing to eliminate 100000 pro-
vided for continuing the Tariff Com
mission. Senators Warren Of Wyoming
and Smoot of Utah voted for the
amendment, which virtually would have
abolished the commission.
The committee amendment appropri-
ating s1o,ooo,ooo for government acqui-
sition of the Cape Cod Canal was
stricken from the bill on a point Of
order by Senator King, Democrat, Of
Utah.
Two more measures aimed at anarch-
lists, bomb throwers and other enemies
of law and order were added to the
bill. The sum at the disposal of
the Department of Justice for de-
lection of crimes was increased from
$1,4oo,oOo to s2,ooo,ooo, ana a special
fund of 100000 for the Department Of
Labor to round up and deport alien
anarchists was created
The committee proposal for creation
of budget commission to prepare and
present a budget system was adopted
The committee will be composed Of Eve
Senate and FIVE House members, the
Secretary OF the Treasury and two
other members to be appointed by the
President, subject to Senate contirmc-
tion.
Senator Gronna, Republican, North
Dakota, attacked the budget theory as
tending to destroy democratic govern
ment."
The amended bill was passed by the
Senate at midnight, at the end of a
fourteen-hour session. All Of the regu-
lar supply measures have now passed
both houses.

LILO Aliens Caught
And Big g Passport
Fraud Is Exposed
Agency Clerk Arrested as
Cleveland Men Tell of
Paying SIS to Obtain
Bogus Greek Documents

Edward R. Norwood, Deputy Col
lector Of Customs and director of the
United States Customs Intelligence Bu-
reau, rounded up on the French Line
pier yesterday ITO Austrians and Hun
gartans who were about to sail for
their home land on the steamship Ro-
chambeau by the aid of fraudulent
passports.
Norwood had been suspicious of such
efforts for the last three months, and
had been waiting to make such a
roundup since April.
No blame is attached to the enemy
aliens who were detained on the pier,
as 1t is understood they were victims
OF group of swindlers who persuaded
them to travel eastward on fraudulent
$50 to S75 for the spurious documents.
After an interpreter had talked with
the victims Of the alleged swindle it
was found. that the majority of the
prospective emigrants will, by the
terms of the peace treaty which has
just been signed, become Rumanians.
Had they waited long enough they
would have been permitted to sail d.
rect to their home land, without having
to sail for Greece via Havre on steam
ships of the French Line.
Practically all the victims who were
detained from sailing yesterday were
regarded by the custom officials as
substantial, hard working and honest
take care of wives and children and
parents, from whom they had heard
nothing in three or four years. Nearly
al Of the men detained had come from
Cleveland. 1t is said that attractive
advertisements had taken them from
prosperous jobs in Cleveland.
As sodn as the detained alien. had
told their story Deputy Collector Nor
wood sent his men to the steamship

would not agree to give preference to
union men on the ground that this
would discriminate against American
citizens who might not be union men.
rms objection seemed valid, and we
then asked that irrespective of their
pelng union or non-union, American
citizens be given preference over all
aliens, and that as between union men
not citizens and non-union aliens,
where American citizens were not
available, the union man be given first
chance
".No action was taken on this by the
ade up Sn o rsTey %wesrs L. Srxee eemGttff g.
Brown, and myself. Of the seamen;
Oscar Carlson and Duncan McKillup.
Of the firemen, and H. P. Cartledge, Of
the stewards, took the matter of pref
erence for Americans to Washington
and presented it to Messrs. E. N. Hur-
ley, r. ?: Stevens and H. L. Robinson,
wired the Shipping Board asking that a
decision be given as early as possible
and the conference reconvened.
"ln reply, Mr.. Stevens informed US
yesterday that the shipping board had
given qualified approval to the pro
posal that American citizens be given
first preference and union men the
second To-day we saw Mr.. Stevens.
he informed US that he did not know
what the private owners would do. We
asked that the private owners make
answer in the open and that he take
steps to reconvene the conference. He
could not do this at once, he said, but
he promised to do so.
Made First Condition
Now we have met with our associa-
tions and have agreed that until and
unless 1T is agreed, with the idea of
putting the American boy back at sea,
preference be given American citizens
on American ships, we will be parties
to no organization formed to handle
shipping problems.
"American boys have begun going
to sea again and we take the position
that nothing must be done that is in
any way calculated to keep them ashore
or interfere with the manning of Yam
kee ships by Yankee crews. The extent
to which they ire going is known by
the fact that, whereas when the war
began there were no Americans before
the mast on the Pacific, since the pas
sage 'of the Seaman's act and the be-
ginning of the war. Americans have
gone to sea on the Pacific until now
"a per cent of the men on the Pacific
are native-born Americans. On this
coast before the war the percentage of
native Americans sailing before the
mast was less than 10. Now it ex-
ceeds 30.
eve sincerely hope that there will
be no serious or long continued op-
position to this programme of prefer
ance Tor Americans on American ships.
We also hope that we may reach
an agreement on this matter next week.
10 us it appears to be the most i'm
portant shipping question that can pos
slbly be raised. On it depends whether
or not, with the expenditure of all the
millions that has been made for ships.
we are really going to have an Ameri-
can merchant marine that is worthy
Of the name, or of real, practical value
to the United States"
