Three Penna. Couples
Lead Bi-weekly Report

Philadelphia, June 12. The BIZ
weekly report which is issued by the
Savings Division and covers the
amount of sales of Savings and Thrift
Stamps throughout the district for
the two weeks preceding May IT
was not so encouraging.
This is no doubt due to the Victory
Liberty Loan Campaign, which was
at its height during this period. The
indications are that a better report
will be forthcoming from all districts
when the next tabulation is made.
Notwithstanding the deterrent of
the strenuous loan campaign, three
counties of Pennsylvania made per
capita sales of over five cents.
Juniata and Potter Counties led with
an average of S.07 per capita.
Juniatas record to date is $S7 per
capita and Potter has sold $.54 per
capita. Fulton was the third county
to sell over this average, with a
record of sos per capita for the two
weeks and $.54 per capita to date.
Late reports show that Juniata
county sold sos per capita last week,
making its average for the year $.95
per capita so far. Camden County
New Jersey, equaled Juniata's record
last week. selling sos per capita and
increasing its average to s.91 per
capita to date.

mended by the House Military Com
mittee. The War Department had
recommended provision for an Army
of $4,000.
The controversy over the Army's
size was brought to a test vote when
an item of s2s.6O5.o 900 for the pay of
line officers came up for considera-
ton. Representative La Guardia,
Republican. of New York. moved

making it in proportion to an Army
of 100000 men. After two hours
debate, the amendment was passed

tended that if provision was made

would make no effort to carry on the
rehabilitation as rapidly as possible.

Poor Housing Means
Big Labor Turnover

Niagara Falls, June 12.-The la
Dor turnover in Niagara Falls in
1917 in plants employing 5,249 was
placed at approximately $500 en-
ployes or an average of ESQ per
cent. This percentage. applied to
the total number of employees which
it is estimated are engaged in in
dustrial work in the city, would
mean that the total labor turnover
in the community in 1917 was about
$4,000 persons.
1t is the belief of housing COM
mittee, whose members have care
fully studied conditions, that la
Dor turnover reduction of up to
twenty-five per cent might be eff
fected if the housing conditions
were first class. This committee
found that it had been difficult to
attract the right kind of labor, that
many men have refused to stay in
the city because of inability to Sc
cure proper houses or adequate
boarding facilities and that a rea-
sonable proportion of the high and
costly labor turnover has been due
to insufficient housing.
