WILL Be GUEST Of
BAPTISTS OF CITY
DR.. Edw. 2. Jones at
Mt. Olive Bapt.
Church.
WILL SPEAK AT The ELEVEN
O'CLOCK HOUR, A RARE TREAT.

On Sunday morning at II o'clock
Rev, Edward P. Jones, D. D., Of
Vicksburg, Miss, the president of the
National Baptist Convention, will de-
liver a special sermon at the Mt
Olive Baptist Church, corner Cedar
street and Ninth avenue. This an.
nouncement was made at the Baptist
MinisteCS Conference Monday morn
ing, when DR.. c. II, Clark called at
tention to the fact that President
Jones would be in the city and that
he had invited him to speak at his
church.
DR. Jones has been in Nashville a
number of times, but it appears that
this is the first opportunity that has
been given to the church-going people
to hear this pulpit orator on a gos-
pei discourse. Already special music
Is being arranged for the occasion,
and Prof. H. B. P. Johnson has been
invited to have his juvenile chorus on
hand to supplement the regular choir
and to intersperse selections during
the morning hour Prof. L. S. Gray,
the chorister, and his choir were re-
quested by DR.. Clark to be on hand
early so that song service would
be given prior to the regular church
services. In addition to this, several
distinguished pastors who will be in
the city at the time have been in.
vited to participate in the services.
President Jones is an international
character Aside from his wears In
the gospel ministry and in the edu-
cational work, he stands high in fra.
ternal matters. Some years ago he
was delegate of the B. M. C. Inde-
pendent Order Of Odd Fellows to Eng
land and spent quite a while travel
Ing over Europe. For twenty years
he has been at the head of the Odd
Fellows of the state of Mississippi.
In addition to this he has been a
great factor in the development OF
the industrial and economical life OF
the Negroes in this country.

WORK OR FIGHT
IS WAR SLOGAN
Rule Working Beau.
tifully.-
to be Made
FROM NON-ESSENTIAL TO ESSEN
TIAL, THIRTY DAYS TO FIND JOB.

Work or fight" regulations have
been highly effective in directing la
bor from nonessential to essential oc-
cupations, according to reports that
have reached the Department of La
Dor.
Draft-board members also believe
that the regulations have had the full
result expected of them. The work
or fight" rule went into effect July i.
and large numbers of store clerks,
tneater ushers, bartenders and wait
ers were confronted with the alterna-
tive of finding employment in war
work or being inducted into the
Army.
By October, it is expected, the full
effect of the measure can be per-
ceived, for by that time doubtful cases
will have been cleared up and the
Employment Service will have had
an opportunity to show what it can
accomplish
Many clerks and others who were
thrust out of their former jobs were
really much pleased once they had
] adapted themselves to the situation
for they found larger pay awaiting
them in their new work, and a con
sciousness that they were serving the
Nation directly proved an inspiration
to service.
One problem was presented in the
case of clerks, men who were skilled
in stenography and typewritine. They
had worked indoors for many years,
ard were not adapted to heavy work
in the open.
They have been sitting at desks
and are not overstrong," a draft
official explained. 1T is hard to get
them work where they will earn any
where near the same amount of
money"
Another difficulty developed in some
States through laws forbidding the
employment of women in restaurants
at night. Yet walters were ruled as
holding non-productive jobs, and the
restaurant keepers said they were
unable to find men above draft age
to do the work.
Men were given 80 days to find
new jobs. Those who failed to find
them were allowed extensions of
time, If it was shown that they had
actually made a serious, effort to obey
the provisioas of the regulation.
