NetO York Tribunr
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON', April 23.?Repre?
sentatives of the governors, state cm
! ploymcnt officials and directors of
the Federal Service from twenty-nine
states met in Washington to-day to
consider the creation of n permancnt
'? Federal employment organization in
cooperation -with state and other local
employment organizations.
All agreed that they wanted some?
thing of tho sort to continue the war
emergency service, but there were
j twenty-nine different views of just.
what il. should be. Aftcr a day of
I livcly argunicnt and patient explana
: tion. a committee was appointed to
work out a composite. which the meet?
ing will try to agree on to-morroy.
Some states expressed their views by .
not having their govcrnors representcd.
Governor .Smith, of New York, ap?
pointed a representative, but he failed
to appear.
Opposite opinions were typified by ;
the two Colorado delegates. Horny- j
handed, be-brogued Rhody Kenehan, |
Federal Employment Service director
of Colorado. removed his sombrero
and informed the meeting that. if the |
proposed Federal service were to op
erate through the Labor Department
of the State of Colorado, the same
being the Secretary of State, hc would
have none of it. On the other hand,
James R. Noland, the said Secretary of
State, informed the meeting that" he
liad had a long experience with Fed?
eral employment service during the
war, and that was enough. After this
; Colorado could get along alone.
Tentatlve Bill Framed
Profiting by its war experience the
; I'.mployment Service, which is doomed
; to an early death unless Congress
provides for its permancnt estab
hsment, laid before the meeting a
tentative bill along the Jines of the
Canadian law, providing for a de
centralized service under iho super
vii ion and coordination of a Federal
director.
The discussion indicated that the
tentative bill is not national enough
for organized labor and some employ?
ers and too national to suit others
who are jealously hoarding their local
labor resources.
Such representatives of labor as
W. C. Roberts, proxy for Samuel
Gompers, and E. F. Grady, of the Fed- -
eral service in Massachusetts, de
clared that the Federal Employment I
Service wa= the one great govern
mental function that convinced the
working man that this government and
country were his. They didn't want
'peanut local politics" brousrht into
the serious business of seeing that
tne jobless man was connected with
the manless job.
Problem of Distribution
They and manv other speakers took
ine view that. the one bi? national wel
fare job now ia to see that every man .
who wants a job gcts it without having
to play politics or pay some private
agent for getting it. As the speakers
yiewed it, the unemployment problem
in America ia more one of distribution
than a disparity between supply and
demand. The real problem is, they
held, simply the perfecting of the ma?
chinery for getting the men and the
job together. Solve it, they declared,
and I. W. VV.-ism, Holshevism and all
other annoying social isms would
quickly fade away.
Supporting this view, Fred C. Crox
ton, former Federal director for Ohio,
read excerpts from a letter written by
a large employer of labor in Ohio. who,
in disguise, has lived the life and done
tiie work or a common steel mill ln
borer for the last six months to get'
the under dog's point of view. This
employer, '.'hose words were nnplauded
by the meeting aa expresaihg its Benti

"All the employers veho are opposing

Daily Caiii Streiigth
Arehangel Takes Steps to
Encourage Partisan De
taehments in the Battles
Against the Bolsheviki
WITH THE AMERICANS ON
NORTH RUSSIAN FRONT, Fcb. 8
(Correspondence of The .Associated
Pressj.?ln this international army,
which is fighting numerically superior
Bolshevik forces in North Russia there
are, mingled with tho half dozen or
so varieties of uniforms, men who wear
no uniforms at all. They fight, as did
the francs-tireurs in the Franco
Prussian war and the first minute men
of the American Revolution for the
protection of their liresides.
They are peasants, with nothing to
distinguish them from ihe thousands
of other peasants living around them
but their guns and cartridge belts.
They are. the irregular or "partisan"
troops and the sentiments they are
showing and tighting for in this wil
derness of snow and pinc trees loom up
so patriotically that the government
of Northern Russia is beginning to
look upon them as the keystone on
which to build a Russian state that will
bc free from Bolshevism.
These peasants have known tn"c
ravages of Bolshevik troops in their
villnges. They have seen friends
executed for anti-Bolshevik activities.
They hail the Allies as rescuers. In
nearly every attack the regular troops
make against the enemy one finds these
armed partisans, crack shots, going
ahead of or along the flanks of the
Americans, British. French and trained
uniformed Russians to scout a path
or take a pot shot at the enemy.
The government of the North for
a long time did nothing to help the
partisans. but, now that their usi < il
ness is recognized, they and their
families are provisioned as if they
were regular soliders. In December a
bifr delegation of partisans went to
Archangel nnd, according to the local
newspapers, "this new apparition
stirred up all classes of population of
the town.''
It became clcar that n sound evolu
tion from anarchy toward patriotism
had taken plaCe among the people. that
the efforts of the partisans, though of
a local character, must he supported,
and that it was absolutely necessary
to create a suitable atmosphere for
further organization of partisan de
tachments. A big committee, includ?
ing all political parties, has been
formed in Archangel to aid in this plan
nnd a new partisan newspaper is to
he published for the benefit of the
fighting peasants.
