State Urged to
Operate All
Job Bureaus
Reconstruction Commission
in Report to Governor Fa-
vors Monopoly Employ
ment for Service in Field
Some Unions Excepted
New Laws Asked to Increase
License forPrivate Firms:
Labor Programme Stated

Governor Smiths Reconstruction
Commission yesterday gave out the
text of its proposed report to the Gov
ernor on permanent unemployment
programme. The report suggests that
the state adopt the following general
ployment problems:
continue to develope the State En-
ployment Service, looking toward an
ultimate state monopoly in this field
excepting possibly small number OF
union agencies and private agencies
supplying service of a personal and
professional character.
"Revse and support the bill drawn
up by the Industrial Commission pro-
viding the licensing at $3.50 of all
private employment agencies; the
State Industrial Commission to license
all agencies excepting those in frst-
class cities, where the licensing should
be done locally.
Want Books Made Public.
"Enforce the present state law pro-
viding for the maintenance of standard
by private employment agencies, ex-
tend the supervision of private en-
ployment agencies and draw up legis-
lation opening the books of private ex-
changes to audit by the State Bureau
of Employment
"Direct the Industrial Commissioners
through the Bureau of Employment, to
develop a programme which should
cover the following subjects:
"(a) The organization of the labor
market to bring about extensive dove
failing Of winter and summer trades
and to stimulate the use of subsidiary
trades.
"(b) Directing labor to new occupa-
tions when changes of industrial
structure result in displacement from
chosen occupations.
"(c) Reserying certain places in in
dustry for older men and women and
leaving the younger generation the
task of finding and forcing fresh open
ings for themselves.
Better Training Urged
"(D Concentrating attention upon
the need for industrial training, in
Guiding 'vcstibule' training, training
in plants to increase efficiency, while
gainfully employed, and training in
trade and business schools.
"(e) Directing boys and girls away
from blind alley employment.
"f) Testing periodically and COM
prehensively the amount of uncmploy-
ment.
"(g) In cases Of seasonal employ
mcnt or depression, urging employers
to shorten hours rather than discharge
employees.
Authorize and require one of the
state public works officials, preferably
the Commissioner of Highways, to OBJ
tain from the several state departments
and localities current information re
garding all public works projected and
under consideration.
"Appoint committee composed of
representatives of the state depart
ments principally concerned with
public improvements and of the State
Industrial Commission to study data
thus obtained in conjunction with data
regarding employment and business
conditions currently gathered by the
State Industrial Commission. This
committee shall vigorously prosecute

WASHINGTON, Aug Ex-senator
Thomas, of Colorado, became indignant
to-day when he learned that one hun
dred new members have Joined the
City Policemen's Union, putting the
Policemen's Association of the District,
which has been encouraged by Wash
ington officials for more than sixteen
years, practically out of business
The Colorado Senator suggested that
legislation be enacted denying the
right of Federal, state or municipal
employees to organize, on the ground
that such employees could not faithfully
serve the public and their unions at
the same time. He admitted, however,
that such legislation would stand no
chance Of enactment, "since Congress-
men want the votes, especially of
policemen" but in The District Of
Columbia, where Congress has abso-
lutte authority and the policemen have
no votes, he thought the situation
might be different.
The new City Policemen's Union,
which will be affiliated with the
American Federation OF Labor, now
has GOA members. 1t is preparing 20
demand a minimum wage Of IS day
for policemen. First class patrolmen,
under the union scale, would be paid

all public improvements whenever
business depression and unemploy-
ment threaten and report upon the
need, if any, of compulsory action to
secure the deferment of public works
and the establishment Of public works
reserves"
Work Reserve Is Needed
Celebrating on the question of a
public work reserve, the report de-
clares that it has been urged that
many of the public works projects of
the states, counties and municipalities,
as we'll as Of the national government
and of the great public utilities, such
as the railroads, are not of character
imperatively requiring their execution
at given time; that if projected on a
long term basis, it would be possible to
defer the execution of portion of the
annual programme from year to year,
corresponding reserve fund being set
up and that thus, when a period of
general industrial depression menace s
it would be possible for the national,
state and local governments and the
railroads to forthwith, with funds and
plans already available, proceed to the
execution of the defence programme"
The commission finds, according to
the report, that in New York State
IheIe nave Deen unusually large eX-
penditures for public works, including
public buildings, during past years.
-. How much of this expenditure
could have been deferred for period
of years against such an emergency as
threatened the state during the months
following the termination of hostilities
Is question Of great difficulty"
On the subject of unemployment in
surance the commission has this to
say:
Before such insurance can be put
into effect the state employment ser
wee must be greatly extended, must be
practically monopoly and must be so
eefiicient as to be capable of administer
ing law which involves complete su-
pervlsion of all employment through
out the state.
I'm view of these considerations, this
commission does not recommend any
immediate action by the state looking
toward unemployment insurance"

century ago has been found by the
Rev. Romanus Mattingly. chaplain OF
