London, Aug. 13.

The Labour Govenment moved swiftly today un- der its new sweeping powers to deal with Bri- tain's economic crisis as a conference of cm- ployers and trade unionists stamped approval on the Government draft order providing for limited direction of labour in most fields of industry.

Under the terms of the order, to take effect on Oct. 1, labour direction will be achieved by chan- nelling all job applicants through Government established labour exchanges. These agencies will be given power to direct them into essen- tial industries.
