SAGE FOUNDATION
SAYS JOB BUREAUS
IN GAPITAE'S FAVOR

NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 4.-The
close relation between some employ
ers' associations and some supposedly
independent employment agencies; the
efforts Of organized labor and of en-
ployers' groups, respectively, to con-
troll the means of bringing the worker
and the job together; the necessity
for . greater degree of impartiaIity
in public employment offices; the ad-
vantages and disadvantages to the
working man Of the various existing
methods of securing jobs; and many
other important phases of the employ
ment problems of labor-both organ
lied and unorganized--are the subject
of report which has just been is
sued by the Russell Sage Foundation
as the result of a five-year study of
employment methods, needs and agen-
cies throughout the United States.
Various Methods Compared.
While the report-a volume of some
700 pages-is entitled "Public En-
ployment Offlces-Thelr Purpose,
Structure, and Methods" considerable
attention is given to fee-charging
employment agencies: an to COM
parison of the relative advantages to
employer and employe in the use of
want-ad pages, in applying for work
at the factory gate, in going back for
work to previous employer, and in
waiting lists or application files.
The report makes the staement that
some of the employment bureaus op-
Grated by employers associations,
boards of trade, and similar organiza-
tions, are being used chiefly-if not
exclusively-in the interests of em-
ployers who desire to control the
means through which contacts be-
tween the worker and the job are
made, and who feel that, these bureaus

There was a time when husky boys
could quit school on the slightest pre-
text and go to work. Compulsory
school attendance has done away with
this. Boys do not go to work until
they can get their working papers.
But even after that formality, de-
manded by progressive communities
has been complied with, boy mechan-
les and working girls are still requir-
ed to go to classes.

vanced States, as the result of pio-

ers under 18 to go to continuation
school at least four hours a week.
Supplemental to this in New York
City, practical apprentice courses have

Unions and employers to give indent-
ured boys, the skilled mechanics Of
1928 and 1880, the best educational
advantages.

foster their interests in other impor-
tant related matters.
The report says that because Of its
association exclusively with the De-
partment of Labor, without partici-
patton of other federal departments,
the present United States Employ
ment Service has been marked in the
minds of employers as a partisan
agency and this, irrespective of
whether the criticism is justified, rem
ders effective development of the en-
ployment service as at present or gam
ized well nigh impossible.
Support Of Employers Needed.
"a public employment service is de-
signed to serve both employers and
workers." says the report, "but until
recently it has been accepted as of
more vital need to workers than to
employers, inasmuch as unemploy-
ment is fer more devastating to work.
ers than shortage of labor TO employ
ers. Experience has indicated, how
ever, that an employment service
whose dominant or only objective is
service to workers will play COM
parativeIy insignificant role in the
world of labor. Without the whole
hearted support of employers, the
service can not fulfill it's purpose.
To remedy this situation, the foun-
dation's report recommends the estab-
lishment of a nationwide system OF

GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL

Getting ready for school" in Cali

tees, the students are not given much
manual work. This they get in their

are taught the theory of their craft,
the fundamentals like mathematics,

Especially in the printing and build

out that gives the future skilled me-

the trades participating in appren-

COMMUNITY CHEST
PLANS FOR TUESDAY
DRIVE COMPLETED

The plans for the Community Chest
drive to be put over Tuesday, Dec
ember Q, are complete. All that re-
mains to successfully raise the s44, 900
in the one day is the cooperation of
the public.
More than two hundred workers are
expected, to take part. The Aberdeen
Central Labor Council has been asked
to supply at least 25 Of these, and
volunteers were enrolled at a recent
council meeting.
Division commanders, captains and
heutenants met in Hotel Morck We'd
nesday and received instructions from
the executive committee. Most Of
the officers reported their teams com
plete and ready for duty.
Every minister in Aberdeen will
viii devote a portion of his sermon
Sunday to the explanation of the Com
munity Chest and also to urge that
his congregation give literally.
The Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and
Campfire Girls on Saturday will visit
every home, industrial concern and
win distribute literature explaining
the Chest. The children will point out
that the Community Chest will be Of
benefit to them and will ask that
everybody donate.

Harding ADMINISTRATION.

Ben F. Hooper, chairman of the
United States Railroad Labor Board,
asked Judge Wilkerson to compel Rob-
ertson to appear before the board and
submit testimony in relation to new
wage scale which Robertson's organ
izatiOn was endeavoring to negotiate
on the Western roads. Hooper had
previously subpeonead Robertson and
101 other officials of the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Engineers and Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen to appear before the Rail-
road Labor Board, but each and all of
them declined to do so. They sub
mitted many and good reasons, how
ever, for declining to recognize the
authority of Hooper in the matter.
WilkersOn Lacks Authority
Attorney Richberg contends that
Judge Wilkerson lacks authority to
compel Robertson to come from
Cleveland to Chicago to testify, in
as-much as Wilkerson is a district
judge whose jurisdiction is confined to
the State of Illinois. If Judge Will
kerson is right in his dicision, it is
pointed out, that he has authority
over other railroad union officers all
the Way from Maine to California.
The two Brotherhoods further con-
tend that Hooper exceeded his au-
thority by attempting to take a hand
in the negotiations, as the transpor-
tation act only provides for interven-
ton by the Railroad Labor Board
when a strike is imminent, and no
such situation had arisen. They fur
they say that Hooper was merely try
ing to make some work for his use
less board, which lacks authority to
settle anything, and by making a
noise hypnotize the public into the
belief th the 100000 a year which
the board costs is well spent.
Boards Opinion Not Binding
eve are taking the position" said
Attorney Richberg to International
Labor News Service, "that the Rail-
road Labor Board can only render an
opinion which neither side under the
law is bound to abide by. We feel
that we could rather remain away
and save our time and money If the
board wishes to render an opinion,
why, let it go ahead and do so. A
defendant in a civil suit is not COM
PEELED to appear in court if he doesn't
want to. He cant let judgment be
entered against him and let it go at
that"
The brotherhood also says that it
is willing and anxious to submit its
controversies to arbitration under the
Newlands act, which would be bind
ing on bottle the carriers and the en-
ployers.

George Wolff, chairman of the pub
licity committee, announced Wednes-
day that flying squardon" of speak
ers viii visit every theatre in the city
on Saturday, Sunday and Monday
nights and outline plans for the chest
ard urge donations. Rev. T. 7. Owe,
president of the Aberdeen Ministerial
association, declared today that the
ministers viii aid on Sunday and Mon
day nights.
The following statement regarding
the amount each person should give
to the Community Chest and the
method Of giving has been issued by
the executive committee.
'sThe amount each person should
give depends oH ggur circumstances.
Some people are not in a position to
give much, others can give generous
ly and scarcely feel it. AS an averege
amount, one days pay is regarded as
a liberal subscription. The amount
you give is not so important as that
you give something, even though it
be small. You will surely want to
feel that you have had your part in
the great service for the community
and humanity.
Talk the matter over with the
family and decide right now how
much you will give. This will help
the worker when she calls on you
next Tuesday.
Various people want to give in
different ways, some pay cash, some
want to pay their subscriptions
monthly, some want their entire sub
scription to go to one or two agencies
which they will designate. When the
worker sees you next Tuesday she viii
have full information and can answer
any questions. The worker will be
glad to explain in detail the various
methods of making subscriptions.
"The advantages of the Community
Chest are SO real and so apparent that
the movement ought to receive the
united and liberal support of everyone.
We confidentially expect a generous
response to this appeal. We want
everyone in town to wear an in
vestor's button"

SMALL CREDITS HIT
 GERMAN BUSINESS
Men Needing Loans Face Dilf-
 cult Job

Berlin, June 9.---mterest rates in Germany under the present uncertain
 financial condition vary from to per cent monthly. Furthermore, inc amount of credit available for manu- facturers and agriculturists is greatly limited by the restricted circulation of rcntenmarks, which must be kept low to prevent tho rentenmark from collapsing as did the paper mark.
 So all in all the German manufac- turcr farmer or merchant who is in need Of loan to carry on his opera tions, finds himself in great difficulty.
 Few manufacturers can purchase raw materials, make them up, market and collect on the product in less than two months. Money borrowed for such an operation adds tremendous ly to the cost. Merchants every where are marking up their stocks and making the public bear the bur lien, even on stocks obtained before the rontenmark was placed on solid basis.
 The shoe industry in Germany is especially handicapped by the high in- torest rates. During the period when the paper mark was making its spec tacular fall, dealers stocked LID with shoes al very low prices. Warehouses were filled with them and the mar kets were glutted. Consequently the manufacturers had to shut down. Now there is demand for seasonable shoes of late style 10 freshen up the accumulated stocks Of shoe dealers. but money is so dear that manufac- turers cannot inance their opera tons.
 Interest rates. high taxes and un- certainty of thc financial situation are advanced hy merchants ss the reasons for the extremely high prices asked for almost all manufactured articles in Germany. Dr. schacht. president of the Reichsbank and directors of currency fully realizes the great handicap imposed on industries by the strict limitation of credits. But he says the rnntenmark cannot be kept stable if credits Are not care fully restricted. and he believes the i republic as whole will do better ! with stable money and restricted ! credits than it would with a falling |.
