ARE
BUSY HUNTING JOBS
Sheriff Glover Going After
Those Who Do Not Land
Places.

Sheriff A. M. Glover and Mayor
Bowen have been entrusted the work
of looking into the matter of unem'
ployed between the ages of 16 to CO.
Mayor Bowen sent all his 12O unem'
ployed a letter telling them there is
a law against loafing and that though
he did not charge them at all with loaf
ing it would be better for them to go
to work.
Sheriff Glover will make great
canvas through the county for these
unemployed and they will be brought
M on the carpet to explain where they
make their livings and If they do not
seem able to square with the law they
will 90 on the roads for 60 dayls, pay
a fine of 500 and then have to go to
work.
70 negroes who were never known to
work in the city presented themselves
to the contractor at the Deveny build
ing building and asked for work. A
similar amount went to work on the
Arch Fleming building in course OF
construction on Cleveland avenue.
Some showed up at the American
Valve and Tank building and reports
have come in that there are many
colored men seeking employment.
The whites have not made much OF a
stir and chances are they will slip
easily into jobs.

IMPORTANT GAIN IS
MADE BY FRENCH

Was Shot to Pieces by
Their Artillery
CBy Associated Press)

There has been let up in the Sc
verify Of the fighting on the British
front in France and Belgium. Along
the Hles occupied by the French, how.
ever, a renewal Of activities Of more
intensive character is nored. General
Petain struck the German lines in thu
Champagne yesterday blow which
netted the French a trench system
nearly one.third of mile in length
on al important sector.
The French line was thereby
Strengthened out along the hills be,
tween Mont Carnillet and Mont Blond
in territory vital to successful opera
ton work.
Lest night a violent attempt was
made by the Germans to recapture
their lost positions. E.fter heavy BON.
bardment an attack in force was lost.
The French guns broke it up causing
the Germans serious losses.
Gen. Haig reports only raids in
which his troops successfully felt out

PUBLIC TO SEE NEW
HOTEL JULY FOURTH
Every Energy Being Bent to
That End Says Manager
O'Neal.

Every possible effort is being made
to have the new Fairmont hotel ready
for the big opening on the 4th of July.
During the past several weeks the
work has been greatly held up because
of the congested condition Of the rail-
roads and for while 1t seemed almost
impossible to have the hotel finished
on the date set.
Most of the work depending on rail-
road shipments has now been complet-
ed. The Geo. A. Fuller Company which
has been in charge Of the construction
will complete their work by Saturday
of this week. For the first time yes
terday morning the heating system
was in operation. An increased num-
Der of men have been added to the
clean up force in an effort to hasten
the work. The work remaining to be
done is composed largely of paper
hanging, general cleaning and the
setting up Of furniture.
Manager R, L. 0'Neal who arrived
today stated that If no unexpected diff
ficulties appeared, the hotel would be
opened on the Fourth of July. The
plans for the opening have not yet
been completed, but some means will
be prepared whereby the public will
have chance to inspect the building.
The ceremonies for the day will in all
probabilities be in charge Of the Fair
mont Chamber of Commerce.

Two thousand one hundred and thir.
ty.five dollars were collected in the
Y. M. C. AIRED Cross campaign this
morning, making a grand total Of
eight thousand two hundred and ten
dollars collected in the day and a half
during which the campaign has been
in progress.
4 This leaves eleven thousand seven
hundred and ninety dollars to be col,
Iected during the remainder of today
and omorrow If the goal of twenty
thousand is to be reached.
w Another dinner will be served the
workers tonight at which time the
work for the past two days will be re-
viewed Is Of prospects revised and
fearrans ID or reassigned and every
8thiAg gotten in readiness for a con.
centr. ed attack tomorrow by all OF
the eight regiments engaged. 1t is
probable that the workers will have
more interesting stories to tell TO-
night regarding their work OF the past
Two days, and the varying receptions
they have received.
All of the committee members are
still evincing a spirit Of optimism and
feel that the goal will be reached be-
fore the quitting whistle blows tomor'
row. but they also feel that the peo'
ple of he city do not realize the i'm
portance of the work to which they are
,Sbeing asked to subscribe and the ser
NSousness Of the situation which the
country facing and which this cam
paign, .uccessful throughout the en-
tire ma. .un, will do much to relieve.
one peculiar fact is noted by those
who are actively engaged in soliciting
funds: those who have already given
most are the one who are most willing
10 give, Fathers and mothers who have
sons at the front or in mobilization
camps, or who have daughters in the
Red Cross organization, are the ones
who are most eager to give Of their
substance, knowing that the Y. M. c.
A. will follow their sons into the camps
carrying with it the spirit Of Christian
helpfulness, which characterizes the
organization, and serve to bring the
sons back with clean bodies free from
the many, vices and diseases to which
they are exposed in a military camp,
while the Red Cross will care for the
sons and daughters who become in.
jured while fighting for the country
freedom.
That this state of affairs is due to
selfishness is not believed by the work
srs. who maintain that the apparent
selfishness of thos1 who can best az
ford to give is due to ignorance Of the
cause.

Moose Carnival
Has Real Merit
PROSPECT is THAT SHOW AT
SOUTH SIDE PARK WILL
DRAW WELL

Browns Greater Shows whick are
conducting carnival for the bene-
fit Of the local lodge of Moose at South
Side park this week made a very
good impression at their opening last
night, and the prospect is that the at.
fractions will have a successful week.
There are some interesting free ex-
hibitions to draw crowds and the 9TH
er attractions are much above the
usual carnival standard in merit. The
crowd last night was in a critical
mood as is usually the case with first
nighters, but they all came away feel
ing that the carnival would do very
we'll and is worthy Of the patronage
of Fairmont people.
1t is expected that this evening the
attendance will be even larger than it
was Monday night.

Food Administrator Tell
Senators Some Startling
Facts.
NO CURB ON USE OF FO0IITI
Whole Plan is to Limit The
Rake Off of the Middle
man.
(By Associated Press


WASHINGTON June 49, Food
SPECTATORS have been taking $4,000,
900 a month for the last five months
total of one-quarter of billion dol
lars from the American people, Her
bert C. Hoover today told Senators Il
explaining the purposes of the food
control bill now before Congress.
Disclaiming entirely that the billg
sets up food dictatorship, Mr.. Hooy.
er told the Senator'S its purpose were
entirely to organize the resources Of
the country and the people themselves
into food administration, to hmii
middlemen's commission and prevent
extortion.
With righteous manufacturers and
distributors prices, he said, the price
of flour should not have been over
SO a barrel, yet it averages $14. n
the last five months $250000, 900 have
been extracted from the American
consumer in excess of normal profits
Of manufacturers and distributors.
Not single national trade asseci
ation, Mr.. Hoover told the Senators, e
opposed to the food control bill.
The prospective food administratoE
went to the Capital early today % con
fer upon the bill Informally With Sen
ators in the hope that full under
standing of its objects and purposes
may allay some Of the Opposition
Chairman Gore of the Agriculture com.
mittee and Senator Reed Of Missouri
leading the opposition to the bill took
leading part in questioning M.
Hoover.
"The resort to this extraordinary
power is only because Of the war ask
ed Senator Gore. "To provide not only
more food for the allies, but for our
selves" Mr.. Hoover replied,
Even if we had not gotten into The
war we would have been up against
this tremendous demand from Europe
and probably driven to some leglsla
ton to protect our own people. Mr.
Hoover also said the food administra
ton has no desire of regulation Of the
consumption of food as is being done
abroad saying that would be left to
the voluntary will of the people.
Senator Gore asked Mr.. Hoover ifhe
would deny to the farmer the right to
judge the amount Of crops he should
grow.
IF the government guarantees
minimum price," MIR. Hoover replied
"we might not get the beneficial results
for the farmers unless we also have
powers to limit imports"
Mr. Hoover said, possibly" the bill
should be amended to give farmers
the right to determine their own pro
duction.
I'VE don't propose to go to the ex
tent Of fixing consumers rations, :" Nj.
Hoover added, except as to hotels,
restaurants etc., regarding amount OF
bread portions to be served and the
like"
DO you contend that under the
bill you can say to Senator Reed for
instance that she shall eat soup bone
or steak on certain days?" asked SEN
ator Kenyon.
Il don't think we have any such
right. nor should we have II" Mr.. HooY.
er replied emphatically. "But We
should have right to suggest the use
of soup bone day and see IL We can
reach any agreement voluntarily
Senator Reed insisted that legisla
tion is not needed to effect such vol
untary arrangement, but MI, Hover
said law should authorize food I'D.
