The offer was made by a small
group of spokesmen for key officials
of the division, abolished last Sat-
urday by President Roosevelt. in
order TO give Mr.. Nelson a free hand
in organizing a new labor pro-
duction division" with abbreviated
powers.
Associates of Sidney Hillman,
whose post as director of the labor
division was abolished along with
that unit, said he was planning
to take a vacation of three weeks
to a month, at least. due to i'll
health, before assuming any official
duties.
Uncertainty Lowers Morale.
Mr.. Hillman was in Washington
hospital receiving treatment for
arthritis, his associates said, but
has informed his aides to continue
functioning as usual pending crea-
ton of the new division.
No director has been appointed
for the Labor Production Division, I"

fishing the new Manpower Com

The old labor divisions functions
concerned with labor supply and
training. were ordered transferred
to Mr.. McNutt's jurisdiction. How
ever, the transfer has not taken
place and morale in the orphaned
w. p. B. division was reported low,
because of uncertainty as to the
future.
Asks Them TO Garry On.
Mr.. Nelson was said to have as
sured the labor division executives
who offered to step out of the pic
ture, q group of spokesmen which
included Erick Nicol and Maxwell
Brandwen, executive assistants to
the deposed Hillman, that he wished
them to continue carrying on pend
Ing completion of the reorganiza-
ton. However, Mr.. Nelson's subor-
dinates said the w. P. B. chief him
self was uncertain as to exactly what
functions Mr.. Roosevelt wished the
new labor division to perform.
Mr.. Hillman has been appointed
special assistant to the President
on labor matters"
Hiliman Seen as Leaving.
The White House said his status
would be like that of Harry L. Hop
kins in the lease-lend and munitions
ALLEGATION field, but persons close
to the labor chief said they feared
the post might not be one of great
responsibility. They predicted that
If this proved true Mr.. Hillman
would leave the Government and
resume his post as president of the
c. l. o. Amalgamated Clothing
Workers OF America, from which he
is on leave.
On the other hand, other we'll
placed sources said Mr.. Hillman had
talked with the President twice since

his health in preparation for duties
of high importance.
