SUPPLY Of LABOR
UNDER GOVT. CONTROL
NO MORE BIDDING OF ONE IN
DUSTRY AGAINST ANOTHER
FOR WORKERS.

NASHVILLE, July 29.-Mai. Rut
ledge Smith, executive officer, calls
attention of the public to the TACT tina
ON August | the supplying of war in
dustries with common labor will Dt
centralized in the United states EN-
ployment Service Of the Department
OF Labor, and all independent recruit
ing OF common labor by war industry
manufacturers having a payroll Of
more than one hundred men will be
diverted to the United States Employ
ment Service. This is in accordance
with the decision Of the War Labor
Policies oBard, and approved by the
President on June II.
This action was found necessary to
overcome a perilous shortage of I'M
skilled labor in war industries. This
shortage was aggravated by an almost
universal practice of labor stealing
and poaching.
While the restrictions against the
private employment of labor apply
only to common labor at the present
time, these restrictions will, as soor
as possible, be extended to include
skilled labor. In the meantime, re-
cruiting of skilled labor for war pro
duction will be subject to federal reg.
ulations now being prepared
The requirements that unskilled la
Dor must be recruited through the
sole agency of the United States EN-.
ployment Service does not apply at
present in the following cases:
1. Labor which is not directly or in
directly or indirectly solicited
,. Labor for the railroads.
3. Farm labor-to be recruited in
accordance with existing arrangements
with the Department Of Agriculture.
T. Labor for nonwar work.
5. Labor for establishments whose
maximum force does not exceed one
hundred.
Major Smith asks the united sup
port of all the people in carrying out
these requirements.

The 1913 meet and sield trials Of

ton will be held at Columbia during

That has been definitely determined
by officials of the organization, who

be held this year for this reason In
letter to W. r. Erwin of Columbia,
vice president for Tennessee, Col.
Woodbridge expressed himself en-
phatically on this point md predicted
that the attendance would be the larg-
est in the history Of the association,
Other officials and leaders also have
written in a similar tenor to Mr. Err
win, who Is already beginning to
make preparations for the entertain
ment Of the hundreds of followers If
the hounds who will assemble in Co
lumbia on this occasion.
1t was positively demonstrated at
the meets held here in 1915 and 1915
that Maury county is lhe best fox
hsnting grounds in America and that
more real sport can be mad here than
anywhere else. About 800 persons at
tended the meet here in 1916. while
the number at the meet held in Ken
lucky last year was about 100 II is
believed that the Attendance of the
1913 meet will eclipse that of 1916
AS a stimulus to the FOX hunting
sport in Tennessee, Mr.. Erwin has ar
ranged for the Southern Rel Fox Club
of Columbia to offer through the Ma
t!onaI association a combination cup

CLEANSWEEP CAMPAIGN TO SECURE
SMALL WAR SAVINGS STAMP BALANCE

Maury county's small balance need

this afternoon by the central county
committee at a meeting called for !

this morning Other counties i'm the

quota and many of them have exceed

We have had good rains" corr
tinued Mr.. Fulton, and our crop pros
poets are fine There is 10 reason
why this little balance should not be
raised without delay Men in every
community are willing to do more
than they have done and they are al
so expected to do more than they have
done, providing that it should be
found necessary.
IF the different committees will
get together and make it their bust
ness to see these people, we could
raise the balance in the Lext five
days.
We expect the cooperation Of
these committeeman and we also ex-
Dect the citizens of this county to dis
play enough county pride to raise
this balance without delay and with

sembly a lively contest has sprung
up among the four candidates. These
candidates are w. j. Russell, r. NJ
Moore, w. B. Whitaker and Sam A.
Hays, each of whom is well known
to the people Of Maury county and has
been in public life before.
All of the Democratic nominees for
county offices are without opposition
and will be elected. In the races for
justices of the peace in the various
districts there will be some lively con-
tests. conspicuous among them being
the race in the Ninth district where
there are several candidates for the
four places. The races for constable.
advisory board and school board like
wise in some districts are gathering
momentum.
AS a whole light vote is being
predicted on the grounds that tho
people are busy as they have never
been before at election time, several
hundred voters have left the county
as soldiers or to take up employment
in government and private work at
various places, and no great issue has
developed to arouse unusual public
interest.
