Appeals viii Do made 70 the Pc
triotism Of the men and the chances
are that speakers will visit factories,
mills, shops and mines and explain the
purposes Of the war, the aim Of the

Vance Randolph, examiner OF the

talk 10 those miners who apply TO him.

the importance OF the getting out OF

! ployment an effort 10 being made 70
/ secure a change in connection with

The general effort will be TO induce
men who have formerly worked in the
coal mines 10 return TO that work as a
patriotic move. This method OF re.

trying to allot men 10 this work who

Il is believed that It is inadvisable
10 attempt to inaugurate any plan or
follow any program which savors OF
drafting men to work in the mines.
Persuasion will be the instrument Of
