LABOR SITUATION
LIKELY TO Be GRAVE
EMPLOYMENT SERVICE WOULD
LIKE TO OBTAIN PLACES FOR
35 IDLE PERSONS

Most important of all problems of
reconstruction for times OF peace is
that which concerns the disposition of
the surplus of labor which will exist
everywhere in the country as soon as
the soldiers are demobilized, and the
government is making every effort to
handle this grave situation wisely.
From the offices of L. F. Parsons,
district examiner of the United States
employment service, some interesting
facts have been obtained with refer
ence to the present status of labor in
Latah county. Mr.. Parsons now has
on file in his records applications for
jobs from thirty-five persons, four
teen of whom are soldiers in immedl-
ate expectation of discharge from
service.
Among the men who desire places,
eleven want jobs as farm helpers,
three as machinists, two as engineers,
five as janitors, three as lumber men,
two as clerical helpers, one as brake
man, one as leather worker, one as
teacher, and one as blacksmith.
Only four women out of employ
ment have sought for help from the
bureau. Three are teachers, and one
is a stenographer. i
Until farming operations begin in
the spring, it is to be supposed that
Latah county will have constantly
increasing supply of idle people who
will find it hard to get work. 1t is
highly desirable, in the opinion OF the
government that each community
should make every effort to take care
of as many of these unfortunate
people as the public welfare will per-
NIT Municipal authorities are urged
to build and to pave wherever 1t can
be done; county commissioners are
asked to make road, bridge and other
public improvements to the limit OF
their powers, and school boards are
besought to engage in construction
work wherever possible.
Work that was delayed by reason
of the war should now be resumed, II
the recommendations of the govern
ment are carried out.
Any public improvement that is at
all desirable might advantageously be
undertaken at once if serious detrl-
ment to the people and the community
is not to result from lack of employ
ment of great numbers of persons.
Private individuals and business
houses are requested to increase the
number of employees wherever they
can do so without serious loss or in
convenience.
In order that the local branch of
the employment service may attain its
highest usefulness to this community,
it is necessary that those who have
Jobs to offer should list them immedl-
ately with Examiner Parsons. He has
no jobs in sight for the thirty-fivee
persons who have applied to him, and
he would be glad to receive the assist
ance Of prospective employers.

Senate Nav Block Vote.

BOISE.--(Special to The Star-Mir-
ror. Failure by the senate to pass
the prohibition resolution this morn
ing thru a suspension of rules may
lose the state the opportunity to be
the second in the union to pass the
resolution at this session just open
ing. No committees having been
formed in the upper body, the reso-
luton was held for later action by
the senate. The house suspended the
rules and passed it unanimously. G.

league of nations. 1t was tabled for
discussion tomorrow when W. l..

BOMBING AIR PLANES
PRODUCED IN ITALY
GAPRONI MACHINE COSTING $780,
600 MANUFACTURED ON LARGE
SCALE FOR AMERICANS

Now that hostilities have ceased
some of the more rigid rules with
reference to correspondence on the
the part of the expeditionary forces
have been rescinded, and the soldiers
have the opportunity of telling OF their
activities during the past few months.
Among the letters dealing with the
work of air plane divisions abroad is
one from S. E. Hutton, M. S. E., who
has been in Italy since midsummer,
actively engaged in the production OF
the Caproni 600 Bi-plane. For his
services in experimenting the technic-
al work in the plant, the sCaproni COM
pany awarded Mr. Hutton the gold
medal which it gives to it's licensed
flierS.
Some extracts from his letter will
interest those who have been curious
to know just what progress the Amer
lean government was making in it's air
plane program.
1--WE were sent to Italy in August
to study the Caproni 600 Bi-plane, the
big night bombing machine, and to
train mechanics to assemble, maintain,
and repair them. I was senior non
commissioned officer in the detach-
ment and in direct charge of the tech
nical work. 1t so happened that my
report was the first and most COM
prehensive collection of technical in
formation acquired by the A. E. F., and
as a matter of course I became the
best informed man on the technical
features of the Caproni 600 Bi-plane
"We lived in Milan and worked in
the Caproni factory just outside the
city At first we were considerably
Impressed by the precautions taken
against air raids by the Austrians, but
long before we came away we were
scarcely conscious of them Our men
were distributed among the Italian
workmen, most Of whom had seen
service at the front; and in spite of
the barrier of different languages we
learned rapidly
while I gathered my material for
the report, | went about among the
men giving them individual instruc-
tions. They we're encouraged to keep
note books with the double purpose
of making them learn quickly and
thoroughly and of enabling me to
rate the men on their knowledge and
ability. We had evening classes, too,
and army and navy fliers came to
them in order to increase their know
ledge of the plane. There was prob
ably not a better riggers' school over
here than we finally had at the Cap
roni works. We saw two machines
that we built fly and we had seven
more nearly completed in section of
the plant operated entirely by Yanks,
when the armistice stopped produc-
ton. When you consider that we had
to train our men on plane none
of them had ever seen before and
among workmen with whom they
could not talk; and that the machine
is vastly larger and more compli-
Gated than any other except the Eng
lish Handley Page and sells for $40,-l

600, you can realize that we made a
good showing and in some measure
deserved the praise of American, Eng
lish, French, and italian army and
navy officers who visited us.
1--WE were the nucleus of what would
have been a big and important organ
ization had the war continued until
early summer as we supposed 1t
would, especially if the winter fell
early this year. A thousand Caproni
COOS were contracted for in the
States and were to be assembled here
in buildings already put up and
plants for the building Of Capronis for
the American army were to be opened
in. italy"
