New Defense Workers
Required in 1912
Put at 100000
War Needs VIII Take

SoeioIogists Told
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Predic-
tions that 100000 additional work
ers would be required by defense
industries in 1912 and that military
requirements would demand so per
cent of production we're made to-
day by speakers at the annual con-
vention of the Allied Social Science
Associations.
M. Joseph Meehan. chief OF the
Division of Research and Statistics
of the Bureau of Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce, declared that be-
fore the country entered the war
it had been estimated that the mill
tary program would take fourth
of national production next year.
War caused all estimates to be re-
vised upward, he said.
"A huge expansion in a S60000,-
000000-plus program is contem-
plated" Mr.. Meehan asserted. And
the objective will be to push expen-
ditures as rapidly as possible toward
a figure which is likely to move up
toward so per cent of a much larger
total production"
Louis Levine Speaks.
| Louis Levine of the Bureau of
Employment Security of the Social
Security Board said selective serv-
ice heads should consider the likeli-
hood that 100000 more defense
workers would be needed in the
coming year, in making plans for
an army of 100000 to 100000
men.
He added that maldistribution of
defense contracts had accentuated
the problems of labor supply and
dlslocation, and said the strenuous
effort now being made to spread
contracts more evenly over the
! country would become more impor-
! tant.
I'VE cannot afford to tolerate the
labor market malpractices now
emerging, such as labor scouting
and piracy" Mr.. Levine said.
Neither can we afford the aimless
migration of large numbers of work.

He led a small dia- mond back, knowing that East could run 1t. East led another small club, and another diamond was returned for a run. Thus Mrs. sobsl was set
