ZIONIST CONGRESS
SUSTAINS LEADERS
Vote Of Confidence, 348 to 58,
Is Given. to the Stewards Of
Palestine Movement.
BIZ the Associated Press.

CARLSBAD, Sept. 6.--The Zionist Con-
gress to-day voted confidence in the
stewardship Of its executive committee
The vote was 34S to So. The dissenters
declared that while they had confidence
in the leaders, the Socialist wing had
explained that they were unable to give
unqualified support to the Palestine
movement, because they felt that the
vital questions OF immigration and colo
nization had not been adequately ex-
pressed and developed.
The only other business carried out
to-day was the reading of Delegate Rup-
pins economic report on Palestine. The
Congress then resolved itself into com
nittees.
The correspondent of the Jewish Press
Association says that among the resolu-
tions to be introduced and probably
adopted by the Congress, expressing ap-
probation of the help rendered the Zion
lists cause by various leaders wiz be one
of thanks to Justice Louis d. Brandeis
for the great service he has rendered
Jewry in connection with the Balfour
declaration of Palestine as the homeland
of the Jews.
1t was through the interest of Justice
Brandeis that President Wilson in 1917,
addressing the British Government, ex-
pressed his sympathy with the efforts of
the Jews to regain Zion. This fact. ac-
cording to the Zionist executive report,
decided the British Cabinet to make
public the Balfour declaration.
That a Jewish legion in Palestine Is es-
sential for its rebuilding was the opinion
expressed at the congress by Vladimir
Jabotinsky. founder OF the Jewish Legion
which served during the latter part of
the world war with the British forces In
Palestine. Egypt and Mesopotamla.

CITY LABOR BUREAU
PLANNED BY COLER
All Unemployed Will Be Asked
to Register at Central
Offices.
PUBLIC TO GIVE JOBS
$4,000 Will Be Sought To-
day From the Board Of
Estimate.
PUBLIC TO GIVE JOBS

Bird S. Coler. Commissioner of Pub
lie Welfare, will ask the Board OF Esti-
mate to-day. in behalf Of the newly or
ganized Industrial Aid Bureau. to make
an appropriation sufficient for the estab-
lishment of a municipal employment bu-
reau the executive committee OF the
Industrial Aid Bureau. meeting with
Commissioner Coler yesterdas, decided
that central agency provides the only
practicable method Of attacking the un-
employment problem.
Commissioner Coler said he did not
believe the bureau would call for an ex-
penditure OF more than $4,000. All
persons out Of work will be asked to
register there and the cooperation of
citizens will be requested in the matter
of reporting available jobs, no matter
how slight or temporary In character
No relief" work will be undertaken by
the city. Mr.. Coler said, and every ef-
fort will be made to keep back the flow
OF unemployed from other cities from
entering New York.
1t was decided also to request the aid
OF the Federal unemployment commis-
by the large number OF foreign seamen
left stranded in this port by the slump
in shipping. The number of these had
been increased by the policy of the
American Seamen's Association in de-
manding that steamship operators em-
ploy only Americans. Many OF these
men are unable either to get Jobs here
or jobs which will carry them back to
their own countries. g
Commissioner Coler said he had been
bothered by "a lot of theorists" who
think that to approach the unemploy-
ment situation properly 1t is necessary
that the city first undertake a house to
house census of the unemployed. That
seems to him a needless waste Of time
and money. The Commissioner believes
that If a central bureau such as he will
suggest to the Board of Estimate is
opened. all those who really wish to get
work will report there.
The aid of the Federal authorities
will be requested also in the matter of
providing public work, but Mr.. Coler
thinks more can be accomplished through
public cooperation than through any
other means-that more jobs can be pro-
vided than people are aware of.
The City Parliament of the Conn
munity Councils of New York City held
a meeting in City Hall last night and
discussed plans for relief of the unem-
oloyment situation and general relief of
Industrial and economic conditions. Tie
Parliament adopted an amendment TO
It's bylaws creating a committee on un-
employment. 1t will consider, among
other things, a suggestion that NUM-
cipal free employment bureau be es-
tablished
