TO PROBE PRIORITIES The executive council of the Penn sylvania State Federation of Labor has initiated an investigation to de termine how much unemployment has been caused by priorities, James L. McDevitt, president of the federation, announced. The federation has sent question naires to 2,700 local unions in Pennsyl vania affiliated with the A. F. of L. to find out the extent of defense orders throughout the state and the amount of unemployment caused by lack of materials due to priorities. The find ings resulted from the study, together with recommendations, will be sent to President William Green of the Amer ican Federation of Labor. Mr. McDevitt said many rural sec tions have been seriously affected by the closing of small plants manufac turing consumption goods. "Workers in such factories," he declared, "can not get defense jobs in their own areas because of inadequate distribution of defense contracts among small pro ducers." He pointed out that all kinds of metal trade workers engaged in non defense production have been hardest hit by priorities. In many cases their only choice is to leave non-defense jobs for defense jobs, which means leaving home. Testimonial Planned For D. of C. Labor Leader Washington, D. C.—Fx-ed S.
