Fight Against
Discrimination

New York, July 30.-Men of mill
tary age are being Disseminated
against by employers since the enact
ment Of the selective draft, and it is
becoming increasingly difficult for
them TO obtain employment. Help
wanted advertisements in the great
daily papers show this, the great ma
jority calling for men "over 81" and
otherwise indicating that preference
will be given to the men not subject
to the nations call. TIE injustice
and disloyalty Of this was shown by
DR.. Schuyler S. Wheeler, past presi-
dent of the American Institute Of
Electrical Engineers, who is head Of
firm employing several thousand
workmen.
Employers only willing to hire
men over the military age" he said,
ARE disloyal, un-American and un-
fair In addition, they are short
sighted, as only about one in twenty
of the ten million men registered will
be called. Refusal to employ men
between the ages of 21 and 81 penal
ICES the Yery class on which the fu-
ture of the nation depends. These
men are the fathers of the coming
generation.
Men should be given employment
on the same basis as before the war
If man is called from his work to
take arms to help make the world
safe for democracy the employer
should be proud that one of his men
has gone to the front and should
wish him God speed. The thought
that his work may have to be done
by new man should never occur
there are millions who cannot go!
"If employers are not careful they
will make it disgrace for young
man to be called to the colors. In
stead, there should be rivalry between
the shops and factories as to which
sends the most men to the front, for
only the best are wanted and the
fittest to work are the fittest to fight.
Give the young men their chance!
They took it when they registered
now, let the employers take their
chance and give them work."
The movement to employ men re-
gardless of their liability to military
service was started at the plant of
the Crocker-Wheeler Company, cleo
trical machinery manufacturers of
Ampere, N. ]. and is being adopted
by many of the other large concerns.

in town the latter part Of the week
from his ranch near Langlois. Mr..
Turner says that everything is going
along nicely in his section of the
county and that the ranchers who
own beef cattle are growing wealthy,
but the fellow who has herd Of
sheep is not so lucky. The coyote
menace, which most hoped would les
sen as spring and summer came on
and regular food of the animals more
plentiful, has already been increas-
ing. Sheep have been killed numer-
ously throughout northern Curry and
southern Coos, lambs being the es-
pecial prey Of coyotes.

FOR RENT

FURNISHED HOUSE FOR RENT
WITH USE OF PIANO"-I wanted
a furnished house of six rooms. /
could not use five and | did not
want eight. Six rooms was what
/ wanted, and here was an ad in
the newspaper: Furnished house
for rent with use of piano" But
how many rooms? If this house
was six rooms, then the advertise
ment lost half of its efficiency be-
cause 1t did not read "Six-room
furnished house to rent with use of
piano." Was the house modern?
The ad did not tell it. If so, why
did not the ad read "Six-room mod
ern furnished house for rent with
use Of piano? 1t would have been
just as easy. Then was the house
just furnished, or "well fur
nished"? If SO, then why not this
ad: well furnished six-room
modern house with use of piano?
! did not have an automobile and
wanted close in. This ad did not
tell me that, so instead of answer
ing it | waited till l came to town.
A real estate agent got hold of me
and rented me another house.
Later | discovered the one adver-
tised would have suited me better.
1t was "we'l-furnished, six-room,
modern house, close in. with use
of piano" Why didn't the ad say
so and get the tenant?
