Clio Declares Reports

Are 0verstressed
Ey the Associated Press.

ny bne Associated Press.
The CIO expressed belief yester-
day that the problem Of workers
leaving war plants for peacetime
Jobs has been greatly overstressed. +"
A study Of the situation, published
in the current issue of the CIO
Economic Outlook, characterized
the exodus" Of war workers to jobs
with better long range outlook
as ''fictional.
The study labelled the exodus"
as creation of the press and GER
tain Army of1icials."
THE CIO department of re-
search and education, which pub
fishes the outlook, made a study of
the quit rate to expose the fictional
character Of the exodus" the CIO
said In a statement.
The study covered the five-month
period, May to October. this year. in
comparison with the equivalent pc
riod in 1913.
Twenty-eight war industries were
CHOSEN 1or the survey. Out OF 1923
available reports on quitting rates In
those industries, 201 disclosed a de-
crease In job-leavers in 1914, with
no change in 13. In only Is cases
was the quit rate "appreciably high
er" in 1914 than in 1s43, the CIO
said.
Asserting that it can sympathize
with the Government in its desire
to prevent an exodus from actually
taking place, the Outlook said thai
labor repeatedly has suggested meth.
DDS for prevention.
The most obvious and desirable
way, 1t said, is to assure worker.
adequate compensation during the
period OF postwar unemployment
and above all to guarantee thai
there will be plenty Of peacetims

A set Of false teeth, q couple of
Juicy hams and a 81 500 War bond
gave mute testimony today to ths
weird and wonderful behavior of
the hundreds of thousands DETER

Traffic was lighter than usual in

spirit.
Approximately 200 articles, includ-
ing the store teeth, the hams and
War bond made out to Miss Thelma
w. Huzzie of New York, were turned
in to the lost-and- found depart

unclaimed today.
About 20 children were lost during
the rush, Miss Harriet Holzbach,

bach told us the 4-year r-old girl who
was swept away from her aunt and
boarded a train. The child was
finally put off at Greensboro, N. c.,
after Travellers Aid made arrange
ments to effect a reunion.
In another case, mother travel
