Womau-In-Industry Service Of the
4. S. Department of Labor and the
U. S. Employment Service have both
been retained in the sundry civil
appropriation bill as finally passed
by both houses Of Congress. with
! funds of $4,000 and 100000, re-

the Woman-In-Industry Service is
the same allowed last year. which
Congress refused to increase, not
withstanding the urgent demands of
trade union women, the organized
suffragists, and women's organiza-

tional Women's Trade Union
League, effort will now be made by
supporters Of the Womans Bureau
to secure the passage Of d bill to
put this Bureau on a permanent
statutory basis, with funds adequate
for the development of the work
in proportion to the needs of the
100000 women workers Of the
United States. Such a bill, it is
stated, will shortly be introduced in
both houses Of Congress.

report of their conferees on the
sundry civil bill, substituting $780,
600 for the item of 100000 which
the conferees reported. In the House

mentary distractions interposed by
Representative Blanton, Of Texas.
