[H. R. 12550, Seventy-first Congress, second session] A BILL To provide for the establishment of a national employment system and for cooperation with the States in the promotion of such system, and for other purposes Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That in order to promote the establishment and maintenance of a national system of public employment offices there ts hereby created in the Department of Labor a bureau to be known as the United States Employment Service, at the head of which shall be a director general. The director general shall be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and shall receive a salary at the rate of $10,000 per annum. The Employment Service now existing in the Department of Labor is hereby abolished. Sec. 2. The Secretary of Labor is authorized, in accordance with the civil service laws, to appoint, and, in accordance with the classification act of 1923, as amended, to fix the compensation of a woman assistant director general who, subject to the director general, shall have general supervision of all matters relating to the obtaining of employment for women, and, in accordance with the civil service laws, to appoint, and, in accordance with the classification act of 1923, as amended, to fix the compensation of such other officers, employees, and assistants, and to make such expenditures (including expenditures for personal services and rent at the seat of government and elsewhere, and for law books, books of reference, and periodicals), as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this act. Sec. 3. (a) It shall be the province and duty of the bureau to establish and maintain a national system of employment offices for men, women, and juniors who are legally qualified to engage in gainful occupations, and, in the manner hereinafter provided, to assist in establishing and maintaining systems of public employment offices in the several States and the political subdivisions thereof. The bureau shall also assist in coordinating the public employment offices throughout the country by furnishing and publishing information as to oppor- tunities for employment, by maintaining a system for clearing labor between the several States, by establishing and maintaining uniform standards, policies, and procedure, and by aiding in the transportation of workers to such places as may be deemed necessary for the purpose of obtaining employment. It is hereby declared to be the policy of the Congress that the service authorized by this act shall be impartial, neutral in labor disputes, and free from political influence.
