VA. BUREAU SEEKS.
TO HELP CR|PPLEs
Work Is Not Fully Understood
by Public, Says State
Supervisor.

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. I'D.
M. Blankenship, State Supervisor
of the Bureau of the Industrial Re-
Mobilization, expresses the belief
that a great many citizens in Vir-
ginia do not thoroughly understand
the work he is doing. Many ap-
parently, are under the impression
that the benefits of this bureau ap-
ply only to disabled ex-service men.
AS a matter of fact, the bureau
has nothing to do with ex-service
men, except in cases where they
have been injured since leaving the
service.
The object of the State Bureau
of Industrial Rehabilitation is to
restrain men and women, boys and
girls, who have been crippled by
accident or disease, and to fit
them for work at some trade or &C.
cupation suitable to their peculiar
handicap. In no case can help be
extended to any one who, by rea
son of age or mental disqualified
tons, is incapable of being trained
or to those who are unwilling to
take course of training.
Since the bureau has been In
operation, only three hundred have
made application for assistance
"It is perfectly natural for a dis
abled person to become despon
dent" said Supervisor Blankenshir
today, land many come to think
that they have not had a square
deal.
The bureau is anxious to get the
name and address Of every crippled
citizen in the state. who is more
than fourteen years old, and who is
in need of and desires employment

MANY INDUSTRIES
IN NEED OF LABOR
Shortage of Both Skilled and
UnSki!Ied Workers Is
Shown by Reports.

Employment conditions through
out the United States in January
showed marked improvement over
the favorable conditions of Deem
Der, according to the monthly report
of the United States Employment
Service.
Manufacturing industries. almost
without exception, showed short
ages of both skilled and common
labor. Many mining districts made
similar reports, although here and
there production was held back by
car shortages. The lumber indus
tries also reported shortages of
labor, both in the woods and in the
mills. Only the agricultural, food
and some of the seasonal industries
of these was the condition describ-
ed as serious. The building indus
try was shown to be active through
out the country, except in a few
northern sections where operations
were retarded by the weather.
| In the New England district, tex
| tile mills were running overtime.
with shortages of skilled labor, but
the building trades and lumber
paper and machine plants were op.
Grating on reduced time.
| The Middle Atlantic district, com
prising New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, reported large &C
tiVity in all mines, with labor short
ages in most of them. Steel and
iron plants were operating about
IS per cent of normal owing to lack
of labor, locomotive and car shops
were hiring men, and mines were
producing as nearly at full capacity
as car shortages would permit.
Packing houses were operating
normally and labor shortages ex
listed in the lumber industries oil
the West. Demand for agricultural
labor, however, showed sharp de
clines.

LOSSES TOO HEAVY

CROWDING IS HAZARDOUS

Figures recently compiled by the
United States Department or Agrt-
culture show that during q period OF
six months In 1922 there were re-
ceived at nine Of the principal stock
yards OF the country total Of 28,-
375 dead hogs and 38,708 hogs in q
more or less crippled condition.
These figures indicate q waste that
is wholly unnecessary and that
greatly reduces the amount Of mar
ketable pork and decreases the profit
Of the farmers making the ship
.ments.kA
The department points out that
nearly all OF this waste may be at
tributed TO improper handling OF the
hogs just prior to shipment. Quite
often hogs about to be shipped are
rushed to a small Enclosure, penned
