The plans of tho civilian service nnd labor
department of the Committee of Public
Safety of Pennsylvania have been completed
nnd somo Idea of the gigantic problem to
bo solved was mado known today by John
C. Krazco, Ice director of tho department.
"Wo want to enllit every man, woman
und child In Pennsvhanla In a great
civilian nrmy," declared Mr. Krazee Tho
purpose of this army In to meet the indus
trial situation brought about by the war
"We can send thousands of men to light
in France, but we must back them up with
arms, ammunition, uniforms, food nnd ships
to carry tho supplies.
"To do this we need a great Industrial
army, mobilized in the most elllclent way
possible. This Is our Job, and hero are a few
of our plans:
"First we have established this central
office in Philadelphia In addition to this
we have divided Pennsylvania into six
zones In each of thes.o zones will be u
contral oillce, which In turn will be In touch
with emplojment olllces in overy county.
"Tnko a very simple Illustration A
farmer In Juniata County needs farm labor.
He notifies the county farm agent, who poli
ties tho county emplojment ofllce.
"If possible, the county ofllce gets the
farmer what ho wants.. If tho matter Is too
lntrlcato for them to tackle, they refti it to
the zone oillce. The object of each zone Is
ta handle tho supply of labor and tho de
mand for It.
"Tho Department of I-abor in Harrisburg
Is in touch with every zone a.nd tho work
It is doing. So are we Wo sup' lenient and
co-oidinate with the Department of Laboi In
Harrlfburg. It Is tho only way to under
stand tho labor situation.
"Today we are sending out letters asking
all business men emplojlng more than 400
men to appoint a works correspondent from
their factories, furnaces or mills.
"They, too, will bo In constant touch with
the county employment oHlces. tho zones
and the central oillce. They will serve tho
business man. Later wo will write to men
employing less than 400 persons. Hveutu
ally we will have perhaps 20,000 of these
works correspondents actively tln touch with
the situation.
"In this way wo will mobilize labor Then
we must train It. You see we have divided
labor Into threo classes:
"Unemplojcd regular labor, employed
regular labor, and the reserves. Tho re
serves will consist of people who do not
usually work, who perhaps do not have to
work, but will do so now for patriotic mo
tives, when wo realize tho necessity of
carrying th's war to a buccessful termina
tion. "They must bo trained. Tho young pco
nlo must be safenuarded morally and ulus-
lcally. We want no 111 effects of tho un
natural conditions brought about by this
war In our Americans of tomorrow. To
safeguard our young people now Is to safe
guard tho futuro nation.
"They will have physical training to
prepare them for their naw work They
will have regular hours and tho right sort
of diversions, nnd no one will bo cmplojed
who Is under sixteen.
"Our plans, most of them, are Just go
ing Into operation.
"Tho success Is of vital Importance, for"
Pennsylvania Is a big factor. Of the
two million tons of shipping just taken
over by the Government, nearly one-tenth
was commandeered here In Philadelphia.
"About one-twelfth of the people of the
United States able to work are In Penn
sylvania. "Our textile mlllB, our locomotive plants,
our Bteet nnd Iron plants, must all count
for much In the present crisis.
"So we hope to provide for every emer
gency, to meet every situation.
'The National Guard and the draft have
taken from between 65,000 to 75,000 men
from all kinds of Industry. Their places
must be filled within the next three months.
Wo want our bureau, our army of workers,
to prove equal to tho task of going on as
though nothing had disturbed labor.
"Wo need flvo people to keep one Sam
mee in Jjruncc.
"That's the task set for
must do qur best Xo meet It."

CURB MARKET PLANNED
TO REDUCE LIVING COST
Committee of Women Confers
With Mayor on Means of
Bringing Produce to People
In a conference with Maor Smith at noon
today, Mrs William 11 Derr, president of
tho Ilou-ewlves' League of Philadelphia,
laid before him the urgent need of a ?urb
market for Philadelphia nnd tho necessity
for funds to flnanco tho scheme Mrs. J.
Willis Martin, chnlimiui of tho Food Econ
omy Committee, and Mrn George I! Dun
ning, of tho Housewives' League, nccom
pnnled .Mrs Derr.
"Not ono cent of the $2,000,000 appropri
ated by tho State Legislature for the Com
mittee of Public Safety can bo used for
tills," explained Mis Derr "It Is purely a
local icspons.blilty and is up to tho city.
"Lancaster has solved tho problem of get
ting the consumer nnd tho producer together
by theso curb markets. Funds were rals-ed
In Lancaster to assuro tho success of the
movement. If Jt can bf "ane In Lancaster
It can surely bo done In Philadelphia "
Mrs Derr also told the Maor of tha plnn
submitted to tho Hvunino I.KDauu by tho
Vim Motor Truck Company
This Is to secuio tho uso of motortrucks
from tho Philadelphia merchants to carry
produco from farmers to curb markets). Tlia
farmers claim that their stuff Is going to
waste becauso they have no means of mar
keting It.
"Tho Vim Motortruck Compnny," Mrs
Derr explained, 'will arrange for tho routes
these cam aro to take, set a flat rato for the
expenses ot gnsollno and drivers and make
out a schedulo for each week showing
which trucks aro to bo In uso and for what
length of tlmo."
Tho Food Commission of Philadelphia do
dares It has funds to back tho project.
It Is understood tho Ma or liopca to bo
ablo to i rocure money from other sources
to flnanco the curb market and mako It a
practical and feasible plan

Chaplain Curtis H. Dickins, of tho nrd
tie believes In combining religion nnd rec
i cation and sports, and ho docs It most
effectually
Since war wns declared and while hun
dicds of men nre pouring In weekly to
tho Philadelphia Navy Yard, the chaplain
has been planning with the greatest en
thusiasm for their pleasure and welfare
He hns stnrted the Beehive, a recreation
tent, 'the Hcehlve Tent," thnt Is ured ns
a "mov le" show on w cek da s and a chapel
on Mindav
It was originally Intended to hold the
smokers there, too. hut they "grow and
grew" and ovei flowed Into the parade
ground In front of the marine bnrracks
They have a screen tacked up on the
poich of barracks No 1' for open-air movies,
thnt hold our attention Just as long as
the mosquitoes will allow it and no longer.
Last Thuriday night a church choir came
down nnd sang nil sorts of songs, while
tho movies moved and the mosquitoes bit.
At first tire quartet had the songs to them
i elves, but when tho plino struck up
"Americas, Here's My Tio" n chorus of
lusty oung voices Joined In with a will
After that ever body sang and "requests",
came from all parts of tho audlenco for
more! moro !
Most of tho Fongs were warlike One of
the bo)s called out1 'Give us 'When They
Put an Irish Kaiser In tho Palaco Over
There'" There was lots of applause and
'That's right! That's right!" from the
audience
When the chaplain's autotruck arrived
there was almost a riot. Tho bos swarmed
around the doors nnd nearly mobbed tho
driver. The civilians were a bit alarmed
until somo ono explained that tho fellows
wero waiting for tho "smokes" to be given
out
It Is astonishing how much Joy a. pnek
of cigarettes and a couploof cigars gives
a man The chnplaln understands this and

"It seems Impossible to realize that the tQ
ooyo iicre lonignt may do mamnK niavory .
beforo tho car Is over," said ono womn, yr'A
who had come to look on Thursday night.
It was not a pleasant thought. Until that
minute, tho shouting, singing crowd had , '
seemed like n Joous, Irresponsible football
mob Dut they nro fighting men, and In a
few months all tho careless, happy young
sters who flocked nbout tho chaplain will
bo gono from the yard.
In the fall other men will como to tak
their places, nnd for them tho chaplain Is
making plans, too.
"Wo must have a group of buildings to
carry on tho work we have started this
summer," ho declared, his kindly brown
ces eager, but a little anxious. "Wo must
not stop; wo must go on! We need A
reading room, olllces nnd a small chapel, in
ono building, nnd nn auditorium, bowling
alleys, billiards nnd a basketball floor in
tho other This Is to bo the 'noisy build
ing' It won't supplement or duplicate at
all the work tho Y. M. C. A. is doing In
the nrd Any ono who comes to the yard
realizes thero Is plenty of work for both.
"Tho churches of various denominations
In Philadelphia aro taking nn Interest In
our plan They have formed a board, with
Bishop Garland as the chairman. Jews,
Human Catholics, Hpiscopallans, Presby
terians, Reformed, Methodists, Lutherans
and Baptists are represented. They hao
secured JC000 tow aid tho buildings, but we
need $0000 more, nnd, even then, wo shall
not bo nble to have shower baths In th
'noisy building '
"Of course, we wilt get the, money some
how Philadelphia has been so generous,
so Interested In the soldiers nnd sailors of
Huropc, It will surely not fall our own
men "
Chaplain Dickins does not believe for
minute that there Is any one who docs not
feel with him "that wo must go on: w
can't stop "
'Tho men arc fighting for us on the
same principle," ho ended; "we can't fall
them !"
