Insurance Is
Aim of Experts
American Association for
Labor Legislation Also
Wants Federal Bureau to
Give the Workers Jobs
Succeeds Well in Canada
Would Abolish Peaks and
: Depressions in Industry,
Annual Meeting Is Told

Federal employment bureau, in
.urance against unemployment by both
,apital. and labor, elimination of sea-
.onal peaks and depressions in indus
,ry and stimulation CT public works
when industry Jagged were some of the
suggestions made yesterday at the final
session of the annual meeting of the
American Association for Labor Legis-
lation at the Hotel Astor.
The suggestion for the establishment
Of a public employment service met
with general approval. especially after
Gideon D. Robertson, Dominion Min
ister of Labor in Canada, told what
had been accomplished there by the
government toward preventing unem-
ployment.
How 1t Worked In Canada
In the fifteen months following its
establishment in March, 1919, Mr..
Robertson said, the Canadian employ
ment bureau had found jobs for 6OO,-
900 persons without cost either to
employee or employer. It had reduced
immigration a.so he said Canadian
employers sought TO bring $500 skilled
workmen into Canada this year, said
Mr. Robertson. but found after the
government agency had sent to them
'obless workmen listed with the agency
that all but ITO places were filled. In
stead Of importing $500 skilled work
men the Canadian firms hired 4,73O
Canadian skilled workmen and brought
in from outside the country only ITO.
The government employment service
in Canada has agencies in ninety cities
in the Dominion. Reports on condi-
tons in all parts of the country are
received daily and workmen are trans
ferred rapidly from sections where
there is an over supply of labor 70 sec
tions where the demand exceeds the
supply. In this phase of the work. Mr..
Robertson said. the railroads assisted
by carrying the men at special rates
Government aid was given to cities
in supplying emergency jobs for those
who were without work Mr.. Robertson
said, and if slack times overlook the
industry the government would give
orders, If possible. to the plants suffer

speed up again. Relief was offered
also, he said, by MAXIM appropriations
for public works at times when there
was g surplus of labor and by asking
employers to make q general reduction
In working hours, when possible, in
stead Of laying off a part of their
force.
Even Production Aided
Dr.. n. l. Stone, labor manager of the
Hckey-Freeman Company. of Roches-
ter, n. y. said that the prevalence Of
the contracting system in this city,
which is the purchasing center of the
clothing industry. was the principal
obstacle to be overcome in attempting
70 gain even production the year round
shroughou the country.
H. A Hatch, of Deering. Mlliken E.
Co.. bleachers, said that an unemploy-
ment insurance plan was working we'll
IN their plants. The passage Of the
Nolan bill which provides for Z ma
tonal employment bureau in the De-
partment Of Labor was urged By Pro
.tessor Henry r. Seager.

Republican women leaders will start

Miller Displeased
Because Choice of
Secretary Leaked
Smith May Not Get Place
if Governor Elect Finds
He Let Out the Secret:
New Executive i'm ALBANY
srec.ol Dispatch to Tho Tribune


SYRACUSE, n. Y, Dec 30-Prior
to his departure for Albany this after
noon it became known that Governor
elect Miller had expressed displeasure
over the premature announcement that
he had selected W. Ward Smith, of
New York, as his secretary There is
a chance that Mr. Smith will not &c.
the place if it is established that he
was responsible for the report.
The new Governor did not announce
any appointments before leaving, but
may make them public tomorrow. He
indicated he had not definitely made
up his mind on any except those al
ready announced.
The judge has completed his mes
sage to the Legislature, but has done
little on his inaugural address, and it
is probable he will speak extemporane-
ously at the ceremonies.
Judge Miller has discounted reports
that Highway Commissioner Greene
appointed for fourth term by Cove. :
nor Smith, is willing to resign and has
given the matter of a successor very
little consideration.
Another story going the rounds to-
day was that the new government will
oust DR.. Eugene H. Porter, State Com
missioner of Foods and Markets. Judge
Miller hopes to force down the price
Of milk by simplifying distribution and
it is understood that Dr.. Porter has
stood too close to the Dairymen' s
League to suit the Governor-elect.
Indications that Republican leaders
are worried at Judge Miller's attitude
on appointments were given to-day
when State Chairman George Glynn
ference. They had a brief conference,
but neither would discuss it.
ALBANY, Dec. 3o.-Governor-e elect
Nathan L. Miller, OF SYRACUSE began
his residence At the Executive Mansion
here tonight Judge Miller and
three of his daughters, Marion, Mar
garet and Elizabeth, arrived on the
Empire State Express at 7 o'clock
and Immediately went to their
future home, where they found
1iHleI awaiting Cnem. MTS. Mlller,
with her daughter Constance, arrived
yesterday, and had everything in or
der The other three daughters, Mrs.
Mildred Mccarthy, ct Syracuse, and
the twins, Louise and Ella, will come
tomorrow, Mrs. Mccarthy remaining
for the inauguration.
There was still another member of
the Miller party which arrived tonight
which should not sbc overlooked. He
WAS Scout. Belgian police dog and
the Millers' family pet. Scout ap-
peared to be nmply able to uphold the
reputation made by Caesar. the Great
Dane, which lived at the mansion dur
ing the greater part Of Governor
Smiths tenancy.
Judge Miller had no announcement
to make tonight regarding the ap-
ro'ntment Of secretary and several
other officers, but indicated that he
would make known his selections to-
morrow.
ALBANY, Dec. 3o.-Governor-elect
Nathan L. Miller arrived in Albany late
tonight, accompanied by three Of his
daughters. He probably will take his
informal oath of Office at the Executive
Mansion tomorrow. The oath will. it
Is expected, be administered by Chief
Justice Frank B. Hiscock, of the Court
of Appeals, who will also officiate at
the inauguration ceremonies

speed and the men scrambled out of
the way of the machine. In a short
time the Commissioner communicated
With the police of Edgewater. They
learned that four men had been seen
or the river road. Policemen McMul~
lin. loretta nd Gould went after them.
Policemen and bandits met in a
thickly wooded spot and a revolver
drel took place. The highwaymen
sscemed to lose confidence and after fir
ing several shots took to the woods,
escaping in a tangle of brush.
Former Chief of Police Irving Wal
termre. of Hackensack, was found in
ar unconscious condition early yester-
day morning on the river road near
the tunnel bridge It Edgewater. There
was a deep cut in his forehead There
was no indication of an attempted
robbery
