WHEELS OF INDUSTRY MUST
REVOLVE IN SPITE OF WAR

Washington, d. C. Sept. 8. -
Every man between the ages of 19
and 36 unless he is an essential
working part of the industrial ma
chinery of the nation will be called
into service without delay" This
is the decision of Provost Marshal
General Crowder. The man power
bill is a law and its administration
mas begun. The work Of registra-
ton and classification will consume
just 100 days from September ;.
i is a task almost superhuman, but
IL will be accomplished. The most
intelligent administrative machinery
ever composed by nation has al
ready been devised The admins
tration does not intend to repeat
England's blunder by depicting the
man power of industry until men
must be recalled from the fighting
lines to save the situation.
There must be no more loss of
production is the word of the gov
ernment. "TEe wheels of industry
must not lack propelling force"
The now thoroughly organized en-
ployment service of the U. S. depart
ment of labor is working with Cen
aral Crowder, Phillip Frankfurter,
well known as professor of law at
Harvard, is chairman and director
Of the U. S. labor policies board.
That board is considering the rela-
ton of wars demands to industry
and the effect of conditions upon
each class of labor. Charles Neave,
well known New York attorney,
chose contact with big industrial
problems has equipped him to as
sumo a national work, is chairman
Of the man power committee of Mr..
FrGnkfurters' board and his task is
to see that the new draft does not
cripple the production of fuel and
raw materials.
The American mining congress, an
organization representing 20 per
cent of production has taken up the
work of assisting Mr.. Neave and is
appealing to producers of oil, gas,
coal and metals to at once check
upon all employees, not by number
or classes, but individually, in order
that personal arguments may be
presented to district draft boards in
favor of deferred classification for
men absolutely necessary to produc-
tion.
Every corporation has in its EN-
ploy a certain number of men upon

Teachers Provide
For Winters Needs

Miss Rita Gard started Friday ev-
ening for Alaska, via Seattle where
she will teach in government
school for Indians during the COM
ing year at Unalaska, on the Aleu-
tian island. Miss Agnes Danford
who is also going to the same school
as an instructor, will start Sunday
and join Miss Gard in Seattle. There
they will purchase their provisions
and supplies sufficient to last them
during their stay on the island for
nine months. These will be furnish
ed to the teachers by the govern
ment, but the former have to select
their own supplies and do their own
cooking while on the island.
The captain Of the boat on which
they will sail for Unalaska has noti-
lied the teachers that he has re-
served space for one and one-half
tons for them.

SCHOOLHOUSE BUILT
UNDER DIFFICULTIES

In order to provide education for
their children. the men Of a newly
created school district on Big creek,
in the extreme western end Of Lane
county, are carrying material for
new school building on horseback
several miles, although most Of the
lumber is being hewn out by hand
near the site of the building.
The district was created some time
ago to accommodate a number Of
families who have settled on home
steads in the mountains in that To-
caiity. About fourteen children will
he afforded school facilities there
this year. The men of the district
met, split the boards, hewed the tim
bers necessary for the structure and
brought in on pack horses over noun
tain trails the necessary hardware,
windows and doors. There are no
roads in that immediate vicinity and
all travel 10 done on horseback.

A farewell ball was given at the
Groves hall on Greensprlng noun
tain, Saturday night in honor OF
John Redmond Bilderbach, who left
Monday, September 2, for army serv-
ice. Dancing was enjoyed in the ear
lier hours of the night, and light re-
ireshments were served at midnight,
The ball came to a close at late
hour. The large crowd that attend
cd dispersed after expressing their
enjoyment of the evening and bid
ding farewell and good luck to the
one of the many boys who have left
Ashland for the training camps.

whom 1t must depend for efficiency
in organization said James f. Call
breath, secretary Of the American
mining congress. These men, eth
er producing laborers or in manage
ment, we may speak Of as key men
and unless these men are kept at
their duties, the mining industry will
fail to produce its quota Of raw ma
terial."
The American mining congress has
telegraphed all state and division
organizations to urge their members
10 handle this man power problem
carefully in order that General
Crowder's instructions that no es-
sential trained men be sent to the
army, may be carried out. Thous-
ands of producers are being person
ally urged by the mining congress
not to depend upon the judgment Of
the labor department advisors to
district boards, but to be able to
present proofs of reasons for exemp-
tion in each case.
President Wilson has Joined in
the plan and will issue an appeal to
miners and skilled laborers to re-
member that there are two kinds

the splendid work she has done for
Ashland branch. Mrs. Frank Dickey
was elected to fill the position left
vacant by Mrs. Boslough's resigna-
tlon. Because of the confidential
nature this branch of r. G. serv-
ice cannot get the publicity that
other lines of work do. but in acting
as next friend to soldiers families
and in helping to maintain the NOR
ale of those left behind, it holds 4
very important place among Red
Cross activities. There is not a
problem arising among the soldiers
families that the home service sec
tion will not try to solve, and the
aid given is often of a very substan-
tial kind. Worry, sickness, unruly
children, business management, le-
sal tangles. or even depression due
20 loneliness for the absent loved
ones-all such cases, this depart
ment stands ready to relieve to the
best of its ability. Don't fail to call

and without price" 1t is estimated
that the A. h. c. will have spent
six million dollars in this work alone
by January, 1919.

4 gift OF $3.50 was received from
G. w. Root this last week, to be used
in the purchase of supplies. A large
proportion of recent donations are
going to another department, the
Red Cross salvage store, which is
Under a distinct management, and,
therefore, this column has fewer
Sits to report than have, as a mat
ter of fact, actually been received.
However, as the salvage work is
standing back Of the canteen serv-
ice. no other section is more worthy
of the whole hearted support of the
public.
