LABOR SITUATION
NOW REQUIRING
CAREFUL STUDY

To find an adequate supply of labor
is one of the problems confronting
a number of the states and the ma
ton. A letter of recommendation
with respect to the situation has
been written by Charles Springer,
chairman of the executive commit
tee of the New Mexico Council of
Defense to George F. Porter, chief
of section, cooperation of states. of
the Council of National Defense.
The Letter is as follows:
"Owing to the large number of
laborers enlisted and drafted for
military and naval organizations
there is a great and constantly in
creasing scarcity of labor for agri-
cultural work, coal mining, railroads,
timber enterprises. and other neces-
sary industries in this state and gen.
orally throughout the southwest.
Something may be done to relieve
the situation, to a small extent, in
agricultural districts by organiza-
tions Of boy workers and young
men of the cities and towns to work
in the fields during the growing and
harvesting seasons, but the truth is
that there are not nearly enough
laborcrs in the United States for
the effective operation of our in
dustries in order to accomplish the
best results in the prosecution of
the war.
Get Relief From Asia
an this connection. it is suggested
that it is easily possible for the gov
eminent to ~measurably relieve the
labor situation in the agricultural
and mining industries particularly,
through a commission to be sent to
Asia and possibly another commits
sion to be sent to South America
to select and secure a number of
laborers who could be used under
proper regulations in this county for
a limited time and during the con
tinuance of the wal emergency. This
course should not be Objectionable
to the American laboring men who
are admittedly unable to supply the
demand and there is no danger that
the bringing over and service of such
men. under proper government reg
ulations as to wages and limitation
of time of service, should cause any
considerable decrease in the wages
now being paid in this country. In
any event. all other interests and
considerations should now be sub
ordinate to the great necessity of
increasing production along these
lines in order to win the war. I

OUR FOOD LAWS
ARE SLATED FOR
SOME REVISIONS

Washington. Important amend
ments to the Food Control Law will
be proposed by the Food Admins
tration O after Congress convenes
a week from Monday. Among them
are the following:
l.. To regulate portions Of food
served in hotels and restaurants; a
step toward fixed r%ations in public
eating places.
2. To stabilize the prices Of pork
products, possibly beginning with a
fixed price for hogs.
3. To deal in sugar, vegetable oils
and a few other commodities as now
is done in wheat.
Hotels Saving Now
"Whi'e the hotels and restaurants
are effecting big savings on the
wheatless and meatless days, they
still can do much more" said Rep
resentative Anderson, of Minnesota,
after a conference with Mr.. Hoover
to-day. THE portions at first-class
places are too large. They are not
too large for the price charged, but
they are much more than the aver
age persons can eat.
Reduce Portion And Price
1.-THE size of meat portions should
be reduced and the price correspond
ingly. This would encourage the eat
ing of more vegetables and meal a
big saving in meat which is needed
for our soldiers and our allies. 1t
seems that the only way this change
can be brought about is to authorize
the Food Administration to regulate
the size of portions"

Crawling Road

Street Foreman Joe Arseneau
and crew of men have started
the work of graveling the road
leading from this city toward
Bayfield,. The city will gravel
the road as far as the city limits
which is out to the Raarup COR
ner and it will then be up to
Bayfield, county to continue the
work.
Foreman Arseneau expects
to do a good joo and to show the
county officials what good roads
mean. The road from the city
limits on is in bad condition of
repair. This road has not had
any work done on it for years
and it is now badly rutted.
Beginning their work the
county committee should see to
it that the corduroy that was
put in the road when it was first
built is removed and the road is
then improved. This is an easy
piece of road to repair and i'm
prove and the residents of Bay
view will welcome the time wher
the county undertakes the
work.

when those present at the dinner
Igazed upon their beloved colors
again. Lieut.. Leihy was warm
ly thanked by every comrade
present and there were speeches
back and forth. between the
"Old and the New, which bap-
tized the flag again and for
new and strange fields of action.
1t is now no longer a secret
that the Washburn survivors
of 1898 have decided to present
the flag to Capt. H. H. Peavey
and his command for the part
they may play. on the battle lines
in France during this war of
1917. Once again will these
colors float over a soldiers camp
composed of Bayfield, county's
sturdy young manhood this
time also volunteers who have
heed their country's call in
time of stress.
1t will be remembered that
within 48 hours after the
call for volunteers came from
Wisconsin's governor in 1893,
the Bayfield, county boys were
ready to be mustered in. Those
stirring scenes, the presentation
of the flag, the roll of drums,
the departure, the farewells,
are all vividly recalled by those
who resided here at that time.
Soon~very soon, are these
scenes to be re-enacted by a new
generation of the county's finest
flower of youth, even for a more
serious duty, to answer the call
of democracy to smite a war
lords cruel machine and strike
down autocracy forever in the
dust. Bayfield, county never
fails-and those who have Jagged
behind this latest call, will
eventually be drafted and left
the sting and stigma of re proach
that they too, did not volunteer
as did the "Boys of 1898" and
the "Boys of 1917, like their
forefathers of 1776 and 1860.

Employees Of K-L Company Donate
Large Flag
Flag-RaiSing Exercises Held at the Plant
Last Friday Evening Before
Immense Crowd.

Amid the blowing of whistles
and the beating of drums and
before a crowd estimated at
more that one thousand people
the new flag was unfurled to the
breeze on the new steel flag pole
in front of the office of the Ken
field-LamoreauX company on
Friday evening of last week.
The flag was the donation of
the employees of this company
and it was the first fag-raising
event held in the city this year
by any manufacturing concern.
The event was one long to be
remembered.
Alex Gackowski, local mana
ger for the company, acted as
master of ceremonies, while
Secretary Ed. M. Heermans of
the Washburn Commercial Club
presided and presented the
speakers, Charles F. Morris and
H. H. Peavey. The addresses
were patriotic and stirring and
were delivered in such a manner
as to make everyone present
glad that they belonged to the
country with the stars and
stripes as it's flag.
When the stars and stripes
were hoisted to the breeze the
large audience burst into ap-
plause which drowned the sound
of the whistles and the beating
of drums. 1t was an event
which none present will soon
forget.

of Miss Esther Arseneau In honor
of Miss Violet Scantland. The
lawn was prettilyl decorated with
jack 0 o'lanterns and the evening was

dancing singing and playing various
games. Refreshments were served
at late hour. Miss Scantland
was the recipient of many beauti-

the community. But wrapped
around the whole spirit of the
organization is the purpose of
it's very existence Ito cooperate,
and the various family units
composing it, make this one of
the largest and most potent or
ganization of it's kind in the
state. 1t now ranks first in
Northern Wisconsin.
Those present had no regrets
and barely missed any of the
Washburn people who had been
cordially invited but who failed
to heed the invitation. Those
from Washburn who did attend,
have something long to pleasant
ly remember. The regrets are
all for those who selfishly stayed
away. The right hand of fellow
ship was there for all who at
tended and the warm hand
clasps, like the warm-hearted
speeches and the inspiring songs
and the thrilling laughter of the
young people indicated warm
heart-beats among the Bayview
people.
Visitors were loud in their
praises Of the hospitality and
good time afforded them by the
Bayview people. They will hope
for another such an outing
making it ''semi-annual." The
Bayview club is business or
ganization as we'll and unless
closer business ties are created
between Bayfield, and Washburn
and the township--some business
ventures of their own may be
among the clubs plans for the
future.
