JOB PLACEMENTS
UP in WAR BOOM

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Al-
most 350,000 job placements were
made by state employment-security
agencies in May, an increase of ap-
proximately 20 per cent over the pre-
vious month, Federal Security Admin
istrator Paul v. McNutt announced
here. In addition, $4,000 supplement
tai placements were made, he said.
McNutt said the Social Security
Board reported that for May job in
surance benefit payments rose to $54,-
100000. He explained that this 80
per cent rise over April figures was
due largely to the increased number
of compensate claims in states which
began new uniform benefit years in
April. Approximately 100000 claims
were filed, and minimum of 1,400,-
900 claimants received benefit pay
ments during the month.
The boards report of placement ac-
tivities for May, McNutt pointed out,
reflected an improvement in employ
ment conditions in some seasonal in
dustries as we'll as the usual rise in
agriculture at this time of the year.
Reporting an increase of approx
mately 100000 in employment in nom
agricultural industries between April
and May, which brought the level of
employment of these industries ap-
porximateyl 100000 above the cor
responding period of last year, Secre-
tary of Labor Frances Perkins noted
continuance of rapid expansion" in
the war-materials industries.
Miss Perkins said this development
was particularly apparent in airplane
and engine manufactures, private
shipyards, machine tool factories, steel
mill and certain other industries af-
fected directly or indirectly by war
orders. She remarked that in air
craft manufacture, for example, en-

new WORK PROGRAM
DRAWS N.Y.A. FUNDS

Washington, D. G. (ILNS).-Allo-
cation of $67,884,000 among 4s states,
New York City, and the District of
Columbia, for operation of the Ma
tional Youth Administration out of
school work program for the fiscal
year starting July L, 1910, and ending
June 80, 1941, has been announced by
NYA Administrator Aubrey Williams.
Under the provisions of the act
making appropriations to the National
Youth Administrator for the fiscal
year 1941, all funds for the NYA work
pdogram must be allocated among the
states on youth population basis.
The allotment to each state bears the
same ratio to the total amount of
SGT 7,884,000 available for NYA work
projects as the youth population of
that state bears to the total youth
population of the United States.
These allotments will make possible
employment of needy young men and
young women between the ages of 18
and "a, inclusive, on publicly co-spon-
sored projects designed to provide
youth with work experience and basic
training and, at the same time, pro-
vide useful services or facilities to
the community.
During the coming year the Ma
tional Youth Administration will place
increasing emphasis on projects which
provide work experience and basic
training in mechanical pursuits, Will
liams said. Experience of this kind
will better prepare young men and
young women for jobs in those indus
tries in which employment will ex-
pand as a result of increased produc-
tion for national defense.

WACE-HOUR DIVISION
.BOTTLENECK DENIED

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Dis-
avowing any national defense "bot-
tleneck" in the Wage and Hour di-
vision of the Department of Labor,
Colonel Philip B. Fleming, admins
traitor of the act said that all appren-
tice certificate applications before the
division had been approved. There
were 81 such applications for exemp-
tions to permit apprentice training.
Colonel Fleming's statement refut-
ing earlier claims of jam in his
division said in part:
''In most apprenticeable trades the
starting rate for apprentices is higher
than the 80 cent minimum in the Wage
and Hour law. 1t is clear that the
Wage and Hour law offers no con-
striction on this point. hope that
there will be an end to the misunder-
standing on this matter because state
ments made without relation to the
facts can only cause confusion and
muddled thinking about this whole
subject.
Needless to say, the Wage and
Hour Division stands ready and will
ing to give prompt service on all
applications for apprentice certifi-
Gates presented in accordance with
the requirements that have been laid
down. These are only necessary when
employers seek to employ apprentices
at less than 80 cents an houra sit
uation that will be seldom found in
those skills being called upon at the
so-called 'bottlenecks.'

international Association
Of Machinists Approve
Training Of Apprentices
H. W. Brown, President of international Association of
Machinsts, Gives Views on Apprenticeship Willing to
Cooperate to Extend Apprenticeship Training

Because of the many inquiries re-
ceived by the International Associa-
tion of Machinists with respect to its
attitude regarding apprenticeship
training and the misleading state
ments and loose talk circulated on this
subject as it affects machinists, H.
w. Brown, President of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists, is
sued the following statement express
ing the official position of the or
ganization towards apprenticeship:
Apprenticeship should not be con-
fused with learner and other types
of short term training, which is aimed
at teaching unframed or inexperienced
workers to perform relatively simple
or semi-skilled operations in mass
production industries where opera
tions are highly specialized. APP
premiership is long term system
of systematic training on the job un-
der the guidance and supervision of
journeyman craftsmen intended to
qualify an apprentice to practice a
skilled trade.
"The International Association of
Machinists strongly favors the estab-
lishment of apprenticeship systems

Committee Set Up To Advise
On War Defense Housing

Chicago, III. (ILNS).-The Ma
tional Association of Housing Off
cials has set up a committee on de-
fense housing to advise local public
housing agencies and the Federal gov
ernment on emergency housing.
The committee was set up in the
belief that the low-cost public hous-
ing program will soon have to fit
part of its current plans into the
building of accommodations for ex-
panded populations in war defense
industry towns and army and navy
post communities.

PATMAN BILL IS
KILLED in HOUSE

Washington, d. C. (ILNS) The
Patman anti-chain store tax bill is
dead.
Rejecting the bill and all amend
ments, and then adjourning without
date, House Ways and Means SUBJ
committee has killed any hope for the
measure. The Patman bill has been
known as HI. r. 1.
Action was taken in executive ses-
sion of the subcommittee after hear
ings that lasted more than seven
weeks. Scores of witnesses from all
parts of the nation had testified
against the bill.
Eight spokesmen for international
unions affiliated with the A. F. of l..
testified against H. R. on the ground
it sought to use taxing power of gov
ernment to destroy or limit jobs Of
their members, to disrupt an industry
in which labor is making progress in
organization, and would inevitably re-
suit in higher living costs that re-
duced the real value of the wage
dollar.
Labor witnesses view the official
action of the subcommittee as a
cleancut endorsement Of action of the
Cincinnati convention of the A. F. of
l.. when the delegates overwhelming
ly refused to vote an approval Of the
Patman bill.

equipped to train apprentices and is
now giving 100 per cent cooperation
to the Federal Committee on Appren-
ticeship Training in it's program to
encourage apprenticeship. The age
of men entering upon apprenticeship
in the machinists trade should not ex-
ceed FL years. The apprenticeship
period necessary to train qualified
journeyman machinist is four years
and during this training period the
apprentice should be afforded every
opportunity for acquiring experience
and training to learn the trade in such
manner as to qualify him to work
as a journeyman machinist or tool and
die maker. Experience has shown that
a ratio of one apprentice to ten jour
neymen is essential to give the appren-
tice the proper training opportunities.
"The international Association of
Machinists is eager and willing to CO.
operate to extend apprenticeship
training to any volume found essen
tial, but this volume should not ex-
ceed the number the machinery build
ing branch of industry can actually
absorb"
