LABOR JOINS FIGHT
FOR Jobs BUREAU

Strong opposition TO the diseon-
tinuance Of the United States Employ
ment Service is being voiced by labor
officials here.
In a statement analyzing the work
OF the service and explaining the
necessity for its continuance. labor
officials declared:
1t is the only nationwide Govern
mental agency dealing constructively
with demobilized soldiers, sailors. and
war workers in finding employment
II is the only existing medium for
the current study OF the labor market
1t is the only existing public
method for the clearance of job op-
portunities and labor supply, thus
providing intelligent guidance for
shifting workers.
1t is the only method OF distribut-
ing labor to the sections where en-
ployment is plentiful. thereby in
creasing national production and re-
moving one great cause OF social un-
rest.
In summarizing the work Of the
service during the past year officials
pointed out that 3,1OOO,OO0 were
placed in employment through the ac-
tivities OF the service.
Interstate shipments. by the serv.
ice, of Unskilled labor for six months
were 165,00O. At the rate charged by
private agencies, 81 to S5 per person,
the service saved, IL is conservatively
estimated. the wage eareners over
SS,0O0,000.

Of the realm OF politics, which, he
said, he would very much like to do.
II the Republican committees should
refuse to indorse the league, how
ever, and should attempt to make q
partisan fight against the proposal,
then the President indicated that, as
a Democrat, he would welcome the
issue, confident that the country
would be Overwhelmingly in favor OF
this plan to minimize the chances Of
a repetition OF the world war ho--
ror just ended.
The President is in the fight to a
finish. however, those who have talk.
ed with him assert, and Is determined
not to be coerced or swerved from
any Of his original intentions.
He does not intend. for example,
to call an extra session OF Congress at
once and permit his League OF Ma
tions to be talked to death in his alb
sence.
II the Republicans wish to take
the responsibility of holding up the
bond bill, that is their lookout, ac-
cording to the attitude the President
has adopted.
Even IL the Republicans should
succeed in hanging up the bond bill
or any other important measure the
President fully has decided not to be
forced into calling another session
at this time, according to persons
who are acquainted with his inten-
tions, II there are evil consequences
from this course the blame will be
upon the Republicans, as his attitude
is represented
Predictions in Administration cir
cles today were that there would be
no extra session within two months

on this-that he would burst If he
did not get relief.
And this relief the President ex-
poets to get, he told his hearers with
some grimness, when he retires from
office. In writing the history OF these
times the President said he would
have to search through the dictionary
to find words capable of expressing
his ideas about some Of the men who
are now opposing the League os Ma,
tions. He spoke Of their "pigmy
minds" and used language so strong
that several Of those attending said
they did not wish to repeat the
words, particularly in his attacks on
Senators and Congressman who were
now opposing. the league.

The President surprised his auditors
by declaring that he had not been dis
couraged by the results of the cleo
