QUESTIONS VALUE

The question arises whether
the sections affected, having
tasted industrialization, will be
enterprising enough 10 retain
part of the new economic activi-
ties, and continue TO use power
at very high rate after the
war.
If foresight had been perfect.
the economic activities of gov
eminent would doubtless have
been different. Instead of ieaf
raking, there would have been
more building of battleships and
other instruments of military
might.

NEEDS MOUNTED

When the war came and the
needs of total warfare reached
geometric figures. then a use
for such expanded power re-
sources was found for the dura-
ton in the vast new war indus
tries. Politicians doubtless will
say I'VE planned it that way"
President Roosevelt, in his adj
dress at Soldiers Field, Chicago,
did say:
And, incidentally. and az an
aside, cannot resist the temp
tation to point To the gigantic
contribution TO our war effort
made by the power generated at
iva and Bonneville and Grand
Coulee.
But do you remember when
the building of these great pub
lie works was ridiculed as New
Deal 'bOondoggling?'"
OF course, the wartime ex-
panSion has temporarily vail
dated investments which at the
time they were made seemed
uneconOmic.

Mass chest X-rays for industrial
workers were introduced in the Dis
trict for the first time yesterday
when 265 employees of the Interna-
tional Business Machine Corp, 1915

amined in the company's clinic.
Employees passed through the X

Robert McCracken, %, from the
shipping department., who was hav-
ing his first examination, said it was
a wonderful opportunity" The
father of two small children, he
pointed out that "the average per-
son thinks X-rays are too expensive
for the working man."
Tests Are Required.
Approximately seven months ago
the firm, according to John P. Sax
ton, in charge of card manufactur-
ing, began requiring pre-employ-
ment chest X-rays of all job appli-
cants, and in 1912 100 employees
had been examined individually
The examinations conducted yes
terday to take care of old en-
ployes were voluntary. Each en-
ploye was told the purpose of the
tests. In no case, Mr.. Saxton said,
did an employe refuse. The x-rays
will be read by DR.. A. Barklie
Coulter, tuberculosis Bureau di-
rector of the Health Department.

of the Board of Trades Public

USESWiIIP Pass
On Hiring From
Private Employment
Companies See End
Of Their Businesses

After Saturday, employers who
place orders for workers with pri-
vate employment agencies will have
to file applications with the United
States Employment Service also be-
fore they can hope to get workers,
Ernest v. Connolly. area war man.
power director, said today.
Disclosing another step toward
completion of the job control plan
which goes into effect here at the
end of this week, Mr.. Connolly said
1t had been decided to route all job
applicants of private employment
agencies through the USES.
Mr.. Connolly said hiring arrange
ments would not be made with the
private employment agencies to
guard against "dissipating" the
shrinking labor market.
Gloomy Forecasts.
The area VINO decision imme-
diately brought gloomy forecasts
from spokesmen for private agencies
here who said the new rules will
eliminate" the private concerns
Approximately 20 private employ
ment agencies now are operating
here.
Under the proposed VINO ar
Irangement, a job applicant referred
to work by private agency will
have to go to the USES where he
may or may not wind up with per-
mission to take the job.
Mr.. Connolly said the employers
would have to place their orders
with the USES to determine
whether their priority rating is suf-
ficiently high to give them a chance
at the available workers and
whether their hiring was within
their employment ceiling.
Arrangements Being Made.
Hiring arrangements, however. are
being negotiated this week with
several labor unions and trade as
sociations and later some individual
firms may be permitted to hire up
to their employment ceilings with
out USES clearance, Mr.. Connolly
added.
He said he expected traffic at the
USES Offices to double after the new
plan goes into effect. To take care
of the increased load, he said, regis
tration of job applicants will be
eliminated for all but veterans and
handicapped workers and some
other services are being cut down.
Counter space In the offices has
been increased, he said. as has been
the number OF i1lterviewers at the
counters. He said he had been as
sured by USES officials that the
employment Offices will be able to
handle the double load.
