LIGHTNERGOES AFTER SLACKERS Energetic Head of Employ ment Bureau Starts a Clean up in Harrisburg Fashion A systematic and thorough round up of all chronic loafers and work slackers in forty-four central coun ties of Pennsylvania has been be gun by Jacob Lightner, director of the Bureau of Employment, of the Department of Labor and Industry. A letter is being sent to each bur gess or mnyor of every borough and city in these forty-four counties ask ing that lists of chronic loafers and perpetually jobless persons be obtain ed through the police departments for use of the employment officials. In the letters to the various munici pal officials is cited the co-operation of Mayor Daniel L. Keister, of Har risburg, whose efforts resulted in the names of 225 chronically unemploy ed persons being obtained in that city. "I am going to try to make it j hotter for the shirkers at home than i our soldiers are making it for the: Huns in the field," said Director Lightner to-day. "Every tnan named on the lists from the city officials will receive a letter urging him to go to work. A few days later a Federal agent will hunt up those men to learn whether they have accepted the advice. If thd Federal agent finds them still enjoying idleness they will doubtless find an opportunity to do plenty of work without any argument. i "Special attention will be given: the petty gambler and others who have been living on thetr wits in the various communities. The investi gators will not be deceived by badges of employment, as issued by various establishments, unless the wearers can give other proof that they are employed; because there are many men wearing such badges who have only worked long enough to obtain them and are to-day using them as a subterfuge to avoid regular em ployment." . Director Lightner said that during last week 105 men and six women applied for work at the desk placed by the employment service In tho Union Station at Harrisburg. These applicants were reefrred to the em ployment bureau at Third and North streets and placed in employment in this district. Every man transporting labor from the Harrisburg district is ques tioned at tlio Union Station and com pelled to show credentials giving him authority to transport workers from the district.

It also specifies that all women working around machinery, where their hair may be 'caught by moving parts, shall wear caps of suitable fabric and design to afford protection. It is further recommended that women workers wear shoes of comfortable size with low heels or heels of only medium height. "The Woman's Division advises strongly against women workers wearing loose or flowing sleeves, rib bons or other trimming on the caps, patch pockets on blouses or bloom ers, loose ties or any flowing rib bons or similar adornment. The wearing of any Jewelry, such as heavy rings, is particularly warned against. One danger discovered by the women investigators of the De partment of Labor and Industry is the tendency of women workers to wear partly worn-out shoes with ex tremely high heels, which not only increase fatigue, but also increase the hazard of tripping and falling. "The Industrial Board has ruled that all firms in Pennsylvania em ploying women for the first time shall so report that fact to the De partment of Labor and Industry. In many specific cases as to the em ployment of wdmen the Industrial Board has already formulated rul ings, as the recent ruling prohibit ing the operation of cranes by wom en under 18 years of age and speci fying other conditions necessary for such employment. "The Industrial Board, which also includes in its membership Otto T. Mallery and Richard V. Farley, of Philadelphia, and Dr. A. L. Garver, of Roaring Springs, recently went on record as advocating that before women are accepted for the heaviest forms of labor the supply of able bodied men should be thoroughly combed out and utilized lo the last man and that women should not be employed in work beyond their strength and endurance."
