TRAINING MEN
AND WOMEN IN
BUSINESS WAY
PORTLAND, Ore., April 8.—A
course for business men and women
in a brand new profession evolved
largely during the war with Germany
is in progress at Reed College here
and will continue to May 10. The
course is in employment management.
It requires a background of business
experience and ip aimed to develop
executive ability and knowledge of up
to-the-minute methods in employment
efficiency. The course is being given
with federal assistance and will be
presented at only four institutions in
the United States.
Dr. Thomas W. Mitchell, at the
head of the group of instructors giv
ing the course here, was for seven
years professor of business adminis
tration in the University of Minne
sota. More recently he has had the
management of employes in Philadel
phia, Lebanon, Pa., and New Haven,
Conn., with large industrial organiza
tions and was assistant director of the
federal employment management
course at Chicago.
Ira B. Cross, professor of labor eco
nomics at the University of California,
Stephen I. Miller, director of the
school of business administration at
the University of Washington, and
several professors at Reed College
will assist in the course.
Those taking the instruction are re
quired to be at least 25 years of age
and to have at least a high school edu
cation and three to five years of good
business experience. The applicants
also must possess “strong personality,
good initiative and resourcefulness
and a sympathetic understanding of
problems affecting the worker.” An
advisory committee passes uporf appli
cations for enrollment.
To produce the maximum amount
of good, it was found during the war
lhat the abilities of each individual
must be determined so that he might
be given the tasks for which he was
best qualified, that conditions under
which workers were employed should
promote their physical, mental, and
moral welfare, and that just wages
should be paid to all, according to the
announcement of Reed College, in
forecasting the course.
The experience of industrial con
cerns in all parts of the country will
be presented in cdnnection with the
course and there will be frequent dis
cussions, led by members. Lectures
on basic problems of labor economics,
business organization and manage
ment and statistics will be features.
Subjects covered will include absen
teeism, and tardiness, associations of
employment managers, character an
alysis, complaints,, co-operation in
management, discharge and voluntary
leaving, discipline, methods of record
keeping, follovy-up, hours of work,
fatigue and rest periods, housing,
hygiene and sanitation, interview, job
analysis, job specifications, labor
legislation, sources of labor supply,
medical aid, medical and physical ex
aminations, mental tests, methods of
introducing department, minimum
wage, relations with foremen and
other executives, profit-sharing, pro
motions, publicity, rating employes,
recreation, references and recommen
dation, restaurants and .lunch rooms,
accidents and accident prevention, so
cial service, suggestion system, trans
portation, extent and causes of turn
over, reduction of turn-over, unem
ployment, union labor, wage payment,
women and minors in Industry and
workmen’s compensation.
As a result of the investigations re
quired to meet these problems virtu
ally a new profession, that of employ
ment management, came into being.
The staff of this division of the war
I,™»-U fnr vnnatfnnn 1 arilica
tion. Only four courses in employ
ment management are to be given in
the country, one of these being the
one now starting at Reed College.
The dates for the Portland course
were set as for April 2 to May 10.

DISPOSmONOF
WAR SUPPLIES
IS A PROBLEM
#
LONDON, March 12 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—Dis
position of American army supplies ii
England will be a big and complicatec
task. Owing to the nature of certair
contracts and an agreement with the
British government, the army cannoi
begin selling material for at least s
month yet in the opinion of army of
fleers, but they are preparing the waj
now. Some material still is being de
livered to the army while other con
tracts are held nn abeyance pending
settlement.
When the United States entered
t"he war it was agreed that all con
tracts for supplies should be mad<
through the British government. Ii
also was agreed that at the termina
tion of hostilities the United State:
should ^pot sell material without con
sent of the British government, noi
could any of the contracts arranged
through the British be cancelled bj
negotiations through that government
Even if there are some delays the
United States doubtless will profit or
any of its sales. No agreement could
be reached with the firm which held
a contract to deliver to the Americar
army about 200 huge gasoline tanks
for use in France. Delivery is con
tinuing but it is not worrying quarter
has been offered more than the con
tract price for the lot. With some
other material the same situation ob
tains.
The work of settling unfinished con
tracts is progressing, but British of
ficials are unwilling for a huge
amount of material to be suddenly
dumped on the market, notwithstand
ing there is an insistent demand foi
some of it at inflated prices. Britisl
officials say there is no desire what
ever to deprive Americans of an ad
vantageous market but they argue
that they also must consider the dis
posal of the enormous amount of Brit
ish supplies stored in England.
The American Red Cross had ne
agreement with the British govern
ment and recently disposed of a lot ol
motor transport equipment for ap
proximately $27,550. The purchase
price was $24,500 and the equipment
had been in use a year. Any kind ol
a motor is in great demand in Eng
land.
No record' has been kept of the tota
amount of contracts allotted for the
American army in Great Britain1 but
like everything in the war, it was
measured in huge figures. It is esti
mated, however, that the ordnance
contracts alone amounted to abou
$500,000,000. Much of this, of course
will not bring as good returns as the
materials coming under the jurisdic
tion o9 the quartermaster’s depart
ment.
CAMP TAYLOR STILL
CONSTRUCTING BUILDING!
LOUISVILLE, Ky„ April S.—Cam:
Zachary Taylor, the military city nea
here, up to the present time has cos
the government $9,189,999.06, accorc
ing to a report by Captain Ilarlai
Yenne, intelligence officer at the car
tonment. The cost of constructini
the cantonment approximated $7,000
000, and more than $2,000,000 has beei
expended in extra buildings, hospita
wards, general reconstruction wor!
and upkeep, the report said.
Since the signing of the artistic
Camp Taylor has aided in caring fo
wounded soldiers and has also been
demobilization center for men livin
in Middle Western states. The con
pilation shows that of the 47,796 so
diers who have passed through th
base hospitals, only 1,297 have diet
which is regarded by army offlpers a
a remarkable record.

JAPAN WANTS
ISLANDS IN
CONTROVERSY
TOKIO, April 8 (by Associated
Press).—Public opinion in Japan is
not entirely unanimous on the ques
tion whether Japan shall retain pos
session of the Marshall and Caroline
islands, which she took from Germany
and now holds. The Osaka Mainichi
sets forth the attitude of many Japa
nese thinkers in an article in which
that newspaper insists that the islands
shall be retained. The Mainichi says
that if America was permitted to seize
and fortify Hawaii and thus to greatly
threaten Japan; if she was permitted
to occupy Guam and the Philippines,
making them not only a source of
wealth to herself but also a great men
1 ace to Japan, China and the Prltish
and Dutch possessions; if Australia
and New Zealand have similar control
1 over New Guinea and Samoa; it is
certain that Japan shall possess the
Marshall and Caroline islands, exer
cising the same right and rule over
them.
“And in so doing,” the paper as
serts,* “Japan will be only acting the
part of a small watch dog faithfully
protecting its own house, in a very
different manner and spirit from the
American wolf, whose wolfish ambi
tion is indeed to be feared. Tf Japan
is not to be allowed to fortify the
islands she took from Germany and
which of right belong to her, then the
defenses of Gibraltar, the Suez canal
and other points should be razed.
“Racial discriminatory treatment in
these respects, too, should be abol
ished and these islands not be left
to white man.’s domination.”
The opposite view was expressed
by Yukio Ozaki, former minister of
justice, in an address delivered in
Tokio a few days ago, in which he
said:
“It is, /Indeed, a great honor for
Japan to occupy the position of a
stockholder jn that great international
1 corporation, the league of nations. The
honor is far greater than Japan will
obtain by the possession of the Mar
shall and Caroline islands.”

OREGON SHORT LINE
GIVES AID TO EMPLOYES
- I
oALT LAKE CITY, April 8.—The ac
tivities of the War Service Club of
the Oregon Short Line railroad, which
was organized in July, 1918, included
giving aid to families of stricken sol
diers and the sending out of Christ
mas presents to every former Short
Line employe in the service who could
| be located.
There were 1,383 Short Line em
ployes in the military service, and of
' that number but twenty-live had re
turned to their former positions with
the road at a recent census of the
club. Close to $20,000 was given by
road employes who remained behind
toward making lighter the burdens of
families left behind.
Twenty casualties had.been reported
to the club up to March 10. Of this
number eight had been killed in ac
tion, seven wounded, and. five died of
disease. The correspondence depart
ment is an important branch of the
club, and every Short Line man has
received letters, even if he had no
relatives to write to him.
