Labor and Expenses
Must Be Essential

In order that there may be no
misunderstanding of the jurisdic-
ton of Community Labor Boards
of the U. S. Employment Service,
the question has been taken up
with the Assistant Director Gen.
eral, who sends the following state
ment, together with other informa-
ton by telegraph, and asks that
publicity be given to it:
The Community Labor Boards
are charged with the responsibility
OF attempting to recruit, for War
Work, from industries which are
not directly connected with the
prosecution of the war.
The power to determine Priority
among industries and to close up
non-essential industries, by shut
ting off supplies, rests with the
War Industries Board.
The z. S. Employment service
will follow the priorities deter
mined by the Priority Board of
the War Industries Board, and
the employment Service thru all
its agencies will keepin systematic
ana constant cooperation with
the other divisions Of the Govern
ment concerned with the man
power and material program.
1t is within the province Of each
Community Labor Board to list
those non-war ind pstries in its
community which will be the first
called upon to contribute men to
to war.
This does no mean that such
industries will be compelled TO
close up or to discharge their male
employees at once, but with as
much speed as may b necessary
to meet the national emeruency
they will release male workers.
The time has come when from
the standpoint of conservation Of
labor we must all of us limit bur
expenses to those things which
are essential.

Big Increase Of Pork lie Asked from
Tennessee, and Governor Rye Issues
Proclamation Calling People to
Meet and Arrange Campaign.

Nashville.-Gov. Rye has issued a
proclamation setting aside Jan. IL as
Hog Rally Day." The action is taken
in response to the appeal of the fed
eral government for an increase In the
production Of hogs. At that time the
people are requested TO meet In the
various courthouses OF the state and
discuss means of producing more pork
to supply the demand of this country
and our allies during the period of the
war.
The governor stresses the necessity
OF raising more hogs, and asks the
people to pledge themselves to make
an effort to increase the production
Is per cent in Tennessee. The proc
lamation follows:
ITO the People of Tennessee:
'Tn order to win this war, to save
civilization from the wreck which
Prussian autocracy would make Of 1t
there must be an increase during the
year in the food production of this ma.
ton. Tennessee has been asked to
increase its pork production by at
least Is per cent. Pork Is vital ne
cessity of the war. The present sup
ply will be inadequate to the needs Of
the nation and its associates who are
fighting to save liberty and civiliZa-
ton.
Under the direction of the United
States food administration, Friday,
Jan. II, next, has been designated as
Hog Rally Day. upon which occasion
the people are urged to meet at their
respective courthouses aud take such
steps as will be necessary to meet the
demands of our government.
Recognizing the Importance of this
movement appreciating fully the need
for increased pork production as
vital measure Of national defense, |
therefore call upon the farmers, the
business men, the bankers and all pa
triotic citizens to assemble at their
respective county seats on Friday,
Jan. IL, 1918 Hog Rally Day and
pledge their united efforts to increase
the pork production of their counties
by not less than the desired Is per
cent. especially appeal to the bank.
ers and business men Of the cities and
towns to do everything within their
power to stimulate and encourage this
movement, to lend credit to those
needing 1t, to purchase brod sows, to
assist In the organization of boys
and girls pig clubs by offering pre-
miums to stimulate the members
thereof and in every other way pos
sible.
"0ur nation is at war. Every citi.
zen of the republic and of Tennessee
is at war Our duties and obligations
are great, but the opportunities for
service-seryice for the nation, for
human freedom and for civilization
have never been so great. Let us
measure up to these opportunities for
service and resolve now to do every
thing that we can to meet them.
