SUREY SHOWS WAR HAS 'LITTLE EFFECT 0ON LABOR LU RE AUS'. O1WANMZE FOR MO0BILI- ZATION AND J ISTRIBVTION OF WORKING FORCES Chicago, May 13.-The nation's in- dustrial manpower has not suffered any serious depletion as a result of the United States first year in the world. war, so far as indicated in. recent surveys of the general labor situtation conducted by the United States employment service and the lilinois employment bureau. Except in certain skilled trades these bureaus finr there is no marked shortage of .labor, the chief problem at present being distribution. On an average 100,000 persons are obtaining employment through the Chicago district office of the federal bureau as compared with a total of 495,000 during the last, fiscal year. This huge increase is accounted for by the recent re-organization of the bureau for service as the national ma- chinery for the mobilization and dis- tribution of the country's labor. As such it has handled the applications of hundreds of thousands of workers registering with the public service re- serve, including more than 260,000 me- chanics for shipbuilding. Urged to Use Agency A system of daily surveys shows the bureaus where the greatest shortages or surpluses exist and with this in- formation it is able to make econo- mic distribution. Manufacturers are being urged to use the government agency as far as possible in order to reduce the labor turnover and uneco- nomic competition between industries essential to the war. The demand for women workers is said to be about normal.

Many women teachers are said to be . leaving the school rooms for more renumerative employ- ment and the draft has drawn so heavily ppon the already scant sup- ply of men teachers that several' states report the situation alarming for next year. New Department Formed To cope with what is expected to be* an unprecedented railroad labor short- age later in the year, a new depart- ment of the United States employment service has been organized to handle railroad labor for the western regional district. By order of Director-Gener- al McAdoo the railroads have abolished their labor bureaus and the govern- ment agency will recruit their men as well as direct the distribution. In. event of an acute shortage of workers Dustin Farnum, playing in "The Spy" at the Arcade today, portrays the part of a man of wealth and social position who undertakes the hazard- ous task of gaining a list of Teutonic spies in the United States. When in Berlin, he finds it necessary to en- roll himself among those spies before he can find where the book contain- ing their names is kept. When he gets posession of it he sends it to the American ambassador. A love story runs through the plot combining admirably with the. heroic actions of the hero. Winifred Kingston plays opposite Dustin Farnum.
