employer the right which he now
enjoys to choose a particular man he
wants from those available on the
official unemployed list. Labor Off
cials now ask that the employer be
obliged to accept the man chosen
for his needs by the employment
bureau.
2. Limitation on the use OF ma
chinery which displaceS labor.
8. Regulation of cheap work so that
individual workmen can be prevented
from producing more than their share
OF what the market will absorb.

OF hours in the working week, espe-
clally In seasonal industries.
S. Limitation of the number Of ma
chines-especially in the textile in
dustries-which each workman is
called upon to supervise
3. Reduction to a minimum of
women and child labor.
Z. Abolition of overtime.

tlonaEZat1on." sometimes known in
