GASOLINE USE RESTRICTED
Joy Riding on Sundays Must BE
Cut Out.

To County Fuel Administrator:
The United States Fuel Admin
dstration considers it necessary
that a limited conservation of
gasoline be undertaken, in the
States east Of the Mississippi
river in view Of the increasing
demand for gasoline for war pur-
poses and the paramount oblira-
tion Of meeting promptly and
fully all overseas requirements.
An appeal is made, therefore.
to the people Of the United States
east Of the Mississippi river to
exercise rigid economy in the
consumption Of gasoline during
the next few weeks as necessa-
~ and practical act Of patriot
ism.
War necessities are being and
will continue to be promptly and
fully met, but this Is the period
81 the year when consumption Of
gasoline II 81 It's highest, and tho
increased domestic demands, to-
aether with the extensive militia
~ operations IA France, have
rendered necessary, Tor 4 limited
period, the adoption o. Ssfs.'

In view Of the difficulty, If not
the impossibility, OF. differentiat-
ing between the various uses to
which automobiles are applied,
the United States Fuel Admin
istration believes that the greats
est measure of economy can be
effected with the least interior
ence with the business Of the
country through the discontinue
ance Of the use Of all classes Of
motor vehicles, motor boats, and
motor cycles, On Sundays.
The United States Fuel Admin
istration, therefore, requests
that in the section Of the United
States east Of the Mississippi riv-
er there shall 10 discontinue
ance Of use Of the vehicles above
specified, including all such as
are operated for hire, on Zach
Sunday hereafter until notifica-
ton that the need for such dis
continuance has ceased.
The following exceptions are
made:
l. Tractor and motor trucks
employed in actual Transports
ton Of freight.
2. Vehicles Of physicians, used
in performance of professional
duties.
3. Ambulances, fire apparatus,
police patrol wagons, undertake
ers' wagons, and conveyances
used for funerals.
4. Railway equipment using
gasoline.
5. Repair outfits employed by
telephone and public service COM
panies.
6. Motor vehicles on errands
Of necessity in rural communities
where transportation by steam or
electricity is not available.
In addition to the above, appeal
is made to the patriotic men and
women of America, east Of Miss
issippi river, to undertake, volun-
tarily, additional conservation in
the operating Of their own auto
mobiles, wherever possible.
United States Fuel Administers
ton believes that all consumers
Of gasoline will observe the spir-
it Of this request. In that event
no mandatory order governing
the use of gasoline will be neces-
sary.

WOMEN NOW IN INDUSTRY
One Writer Expresses the Opinion
That There Are More Employed
Than Need Be.

We will need women in industry,
Of that there can be no question. Do
we need them now? My study does not
indicate this, but it does indicate con-
clusively that later on we Me going
to need them in increasing numbers,
and that now is the time to prepare
and develop plans and policies, so that
ties we will be able to proceed along
logical, fair and well-determined
lines.
The reason that we do not need
women in industry now is simply be-
cause we are not using man power to
the greatest extent possible, nor as
efficiently as we can.
Let us discuss this question of man
power for moment. In our jails are
men who could be put to work under
guard either in industrial or agricul-
tural pursuits. Elderly men who have
retired, unless physically unable, could
perform work of light character in
shops and offices. There is still in
this country greater degree of unem-
plOyment than is necessary and men
who have nothing to do should be put
to work. Tramps, street lOafers and
lounge lizards should be rounded up
and put at productive occupations.
Children from twelve to sixteen, both
boys and girls, could be given some
thing to do for part of their time each
day. Workmen who take time off
because of high earnings should be
appealed to and kept busy, even if
we have to resort to penalizing them
for failure to report for work. Shift
ing of workers can be eliminated by
joint action by labor unions manu-
facturers' associations and the gov
ernment.-Industria Management.

LABOR SHORTAGE
IN PROSPECT
Possibility That Miners viii Have
to Be Given a Deferred
Classification.
FARM WORKERS ALSO SHORT
Situation in This Country Much Like
That Which Faced Great Brit
ain In the Early Days
of the War.

Recently the fuel officials recon-
mended to Secretary of War Baker
that miners be given a deferred classi-
fcation In the draft in order to pre-
vent for the time being at least any
further inrOads into their ranks, as
the records show that more than 10000
union miners alone were taken in the
first call. However, the secretary did
not see fit to act upon this recon-
mendation, with the result that the
next call is going to take even a great
er number and cause a sharp decrease
in production at a time when the
country needs every possible ton that
can be taken out.
With this additional labor shortage
in prospect the fuel officials are not
inclined to be overly optimistic, for
they cannot understand how the ever
growing needs of industry are to be
met unless some safeguard is thrown
around the conservation of labor at the
mines They even go so far as to pre-
dict that eventually this shortage will
become so acute unless the draft Of
miners is guarded by deferred claSsifi-
cation that the United States will have
to do what Great Britain was forced
to do in the early days Of the war,
namely, withdraw miners and other
trades from the army and send them
back to their civil employment.
Agriculture is facing the same stu
alton in this country by reason Of
neglect to draw up any definite instruc-
tions as to deferred classification for
farm labor, with the result that the
great agricultural sections Of the West
are in an uproar because the draft
boards in many localities have been
paying no attention whatever to the in
dustrial claims of the farmers. That
something must be done to rectify
these menacing conditions within the
near future seems to be the consen-
sus of opinion among many of the lead
Ing officials at Washington.
