170 UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE UNITED STATES Senator Waener. Exactly. He can do that to-day. We have what is not generally known, an employment exchange to-day. Mr. Bacemann. I am talking about the provisions of the bill. Senator WaeNER. I understand that. We have an employment exchange to-day; the director can erect as many as he likes, and that is why I can not see the logic of Mr. Emery. He does not object to that, but he does object to the provision of the bill which says, in the event the State does not accept, Federal aid then the Federal Government, in order to secure this cooperation, [again between the States], may erect an exchange of its own. Mr. Bacamany. What could be the objection to that provision if the Government can do the same thing now without this law? [f it can do it without this law, what is the objection to the bill? Senator WaaNERr. I am glad you ask that. We have heard a good deal here about the handling of employment exchanges as a Focal State function and I want to preserve it as a State function; so, instead of creating these agencies throughout the States, exclusively under Federal Government supersision, I provide that the States shall do the whole thing with Federal aid. Under the bill the State conducts the entire employment exchange; it appoints the employees; it does all the work in connection with the employment exchange. Mr. Bacaman~. You say the State appoints its own employees? Seantor WaaNER. Yes. Mr. BaceMANN. And that is the intention of the bill? Senator WaenNer. Yes. Mr. Bacumann. But the wording of the bill does not say so. Senator WaeNER. Where do you see anything to the contrary? Mr. Bacumany. Well the States have got to agree, in the first instance, definitely to comply with the provisions of this act as is" is not that correct? Senator WAGNER. Yes. Mr. Bacamann. With the provisions of this bill, if enacted a« passed? Senator WAGNER. Yes. Mr. BacamanN., That means the States have to carry out the provisions of this bill? Senator Waener. Yes. Mr. Bacumann. And this bill provides for the employees to be selected through the civil service law. Senator WAGNER. No; it provides for the Federal employees, it provides for those in the office here to be selected under the civil service law. Mr. Bacumann. It does not say that. That is the thing I want ‘0 get at. Senator WAGNER. Oh, yes; there is no question about that. Mr. Bacumann. I would like you to point that out to me. I do not want to be technical, but that has been bothering me considerably. Senator WaeNer. There is no provision that prevents it. Seer- tion 2 reads: 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 subjeet 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, appoint—
