HAJRJRJSBTTRG TELEGRAPH SOLDIERS WILL BE GIVEN HELP Labor and Industry Depart ment Starts Series of Im portant Conferences Plans for meeting conditions of In dustrial readjustment In Pennsyl vania following the close of the war and for coping with conditions prior to its close, were outlined by Acting Commissioner Walter McNlchols, re cently appointed "to head the Depart ment of Labor and Industry, in a series of conferences held during the last two days by principal officials of the department. Acting Commissioner McNichols an nounced that the principal aims of the Department of Labor and Industry will be to co-operate with employers and employes, to prevent employ ment of women and children during too long work periods or at unsuit able tasks; to prevent excessive labor turnover; to aid in finding suitable jobs for returned disabled and able bodied soldiers and sailors;' to keep industrial conditions stabilized throughout the state and to meet promptly through the Emergency Public Works of the state any tend . ency toward unemployment of num bers of workers; to prevent strikes or lockouts; to prevent, in any lo cality, increase of industrial acci dents, due to shifting of workers to new tasks, and to make every effort to reduce the present accident toll; to aid municipalities of the state in formulating plans for local public work especially during the recon struction period. • The Industrial Board, of the depart ment, is perfecting arrangements to keep in close touch with the indus trial situation and at the first sign of any tendency towards unemploy ment of great numbers of men will immediately make known the fact, as required by law, to the Emergency Public Work Commission. 4 A statewide survey of tasks now performed by women in industrial plants, and heretofore regarded as men's work, is to be started at once by the industrial surgeons and en gineers of the Division of 'Hygiene and Engineering of the Department. This survey is to be made for the purpose of analyzing women's pres ent tasks in industry to safeguard women against work of heavy char acter that may be detrimental to thpir 'health and to the health of future generations. Plans for close co-operation with employers and employes are being formulated in order that it may be definitely known that the Department of Labor and Industry has no auth ority to let down the labor laws in any plant nor ti allow night work of women in manufacturing establish ments nor* fonger hours of work for children than designated in existing state statutes. That industrial accidents may be kept to a minimum, methods for close co-operation between the Bureau of Inspection and the Burearn of Statis tics and Information are being per fected. As accident reports are re ceived daily in the Bureau of Statis tics and Information any Indication of increase of accidents in any local ity of the state, will be immediately j made known to the Bureau of Inspec tion for concentrated activities along lines of inspection for safeguards and for safety education, in such local ities, in addition to the constant work of the department to cut down '.he waste from Industrial casualties. Through the Bureau of Municipal ities every assistance will be given every municipality in the state desir ing to institute public works or planning-following the close of> the war.

FISHER THANKS LOAN WORKERS Highway Leader of Indiana County Says That State Will Now Come Out of the Mud The tremenddus favorable vote given the proposed constitutional amendment which will permit the state to borrow $50,000,000 for road purposes is attributed by the Asso ciated Highways Organization of Pennsylvania, which backed the prop osition, to the fact that the state at large has tired of unpermanent main roads. Figures received by the as sociated highways show the Yes votes to have been nearly 200,000 morcf than the Noes. t "The approval of the Amendment by the voters of Pennsylvania is complete evidence that the people of this Commonwealth are progressive," said Ex-Senator John S. Fisher, ol Indiana, president of the associated highways. "The state is now enabled to borrow money and build highways on a wholesale ecale." "Pennsylvania will have the best highway system in America within five years," was the declaration of William Jennings, of Harrlsburg. treasurer of the associated highways. "Transportation facilities will be im proved and there will be great im provement in economic conditions." Dr. P. T. Johnson, of Erie, vice president of the associated highways, declared that the vote Tuesday plain ly evidenced that Pennsylvanians are tired of their many meandering miles of mudways. "The vote means that the people have learned that good roads are an economic necessity. Almost every county in the state has reversed its attitude of 1913, when the bond Is sue wai defeated by 41,000 votes." If the war is over before the legis lative sessions of 1919 end the con stitutional amendment providing that the state may borrow money will be put through by the state Senate and House. Not all the $50,000,000 bonds will be Issued at one time, of course. The Legislature will say hojv and when the bonds are to be issued, in what form, the term and the interest to be paid.
