SEES A WASTE OF LABOR
IN EMPLOYING FLUNKIES

Waste Of labor through irregular en-
ployment and maintenance of large
numbers of Wallets and funkies Is re-
sponsible for the present apparent la
Dor shortage, Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
He recommended that instead of
frightening working hours to meet
government war demands, employers
take greater care to provide steady
employment, and wealthy persons re-
duce their corps of servants.
Large corporations, such as steel
companies, when they find that they
cannot readily pick up hundred men
for one or two hours extra work." Mr..
Gompers said, feel that they have
been denied a condition that assured
scarcity of workers. In government
navy yards and other establishments
the work is not carefully planned in or
der to keep their force OF workers con-
stantly employed.
zone Of the first steps in organizing
for efficient production is to abolish the
dunkies and Wallets. Too many who
might give productive service are en-
gagged in useless labor that might bet
ter be dispensed with.
THE experience of Great Britain I'M
der war conditions and the experience
of managers of industries prove conclu-
sively that the wisest plan, not only
from the standpoint of production but
from that maintaining the virility of
our nation, is to continue the eight
hour day wherever it has been estab-
lished and to establish it where it does
not already prevail"

Having on the fourth Sunday COM
pleted the list of eleven appointments in
Pickens arranged for us by Rev. d. WI
Hiott, with the cooperation of churches
and pastors concerned, / wish to give
your readers some impressions of that
delightful season Of Christian service
and fellowship.
On the first Sunday in May filled

tors, brethren j. l.. Willis and Charles
Atkinson. They and their people re-
ceived US cordially. That night we were
entertained in the home of Brother and
Sister Willis of Cateechee.
Norris Baptist church and community
are dear to our memory. We became
acquainted with them in 1910, when we
were with them and Pastor Hiott in a
meeting. The friendship begun then
has increased with the passing years !;
and it was good once again to worship
