PLENTY OF WORK FOR ALL
Director OF Employment Service Finds
Industrial Situation Good.

Unemployment now is less alarming
than at any time since the signing of
the armistice, according to a statement
made by w. Fl. Skinner, acting d.
rector general Of the United States
employment service.
Reports from % states Indicate thai
in Wisconsin and Michigan there g a
shortage of help. In Arkansas, Ten
nessee and Indiana there is reported
a slight shortage OF jobs. In Chi
cago and New York there is more
unemployment than anywhere In the
country.
The slight unemployment that Is re-
ported Is regarded as a result OF the
difficulty In connecting the right man
with the Job and Of strikes. which ere,
ate an artificial condition.

f That the day of fake methods Of

Professor Dodd Of Des Moines. ex-
pert of heavenly electrical disturbanc-
es, in his speech before the National
Association of Mutual Insurance.

Following Professor Doddss talk
and other matters of related nature,

parted on a trip about Boston Harbor
The evening session had to do with.
the prevention of losses through fires,
publicity methods to be used in pre-
sentfng the cause of mutual insurance
companies to the buying public, news

Of successful expression.
Professor Dodd went into the mat
ter Of protection of buildings from
lightning in an exhaustive manner. He
explained the causes of lightning,
how the bolt" is produced and what
it does. He argued that complete
protection from lightning is possible !
if modern scientific methods are used. +
In explaining the proper ''rodding'
of buildings. Professor Todd said t
The first essential is that all exterior F
metals, such as rain pipes, crossings +
and tin decks, should have metallic +

The object of these. connections Is to

should extend TO points within an

The closing of the American Wool
en- Mills was by no means an isolated
instance of shutting down at time
when production and more produc-
Ltion" was the. slogan of the govern
ment and of industrials leaders. 1t is
probable that if the Department OF
Justice undertakes an investigation OF
the facts its activities will cover other
large industrial plants which took
similar action, throwing thousands
of employees out of work
Whether the officials of the De-
partment of Justice have secured any
definite information other than charge
of conspiracy made from time to time,
has not been disclosed. but the ques-
ton is considered sufficiently impor-
tant to demand a special investiga-
ton.
The department, it was stated, will
investigate fully the Cancellation oi
orders" and other allegations made
in explanation of the necessity to
cease production for period. Should
the Department of Justice and its
agents uncover any evidence pointing
to conspiracy on the part of the
management and owners Of plants to
reduce production in order to main
tain prices, action, it was stated, will
be started under the amended section
of the Lever Act. which added" cloth
ing wearing apparel" to PROVISIONS
2enaliking interference with food and
fuel.

Loss Il Probable,

there u little reason to believe that
anything even remotely approaching
the great cost of the Hog Island enter
prise will be realized by the govern
ment. On similar large scale con-
!struction, it is asserted, bids have, in
some instances, averaged as low as IS
per cent OF cost. Few corporations
will be able to consider the purchase
and enormous pressure will probably
be put on the government to dispose
OF It by interests which view jealousy
any attempt of the government to I'M
dertake business affairs. Since the
government is in . position where il
is practically forced to sell and the
prospective bidders are few in number
the latter will be enabled to set the
price, in all probability.
Another large sale BY the govern
ment, the Disposal of the Old Hickory
powder plant near Nashville, Tenn.
has been postponed so far as the
date Of receiving bids is concerned
from September to September 80
Many inquiries have been received re-
garding the sale of this plant, the war
department says, for, although It was
put up for the manufacture Of smoke
less powder, its units can be readily
adapted for manufacturing chemicals,
rubber goods, pulp and paper, coke,
food products, iron and steel, alumni
mum, refrigerators and Photographic
films. This plant, as a whole, is said
to have cost $8S, 100000.
The shipping board also offers for
sale four steel steamships, the North
ern King, Northern Queen, Northern
Light and the Northern Wave, each of
about 1000 tons, and two wood harbor
tugs, the Salem and the Bison. Bids
on the steamships must be in by Sep
TENDER 8 and will be opened on Sep
TENDER 2. Those on the tugs must
be ready and will be opened week
later.
