MUST OVERCOME
AGE
Duluth Employers Called Upon
to Distribute Workers From
Nom Essential Plants.

Labor shortage to the extent of
100000 men in American war In
dustries, and the consequent necessity
of transferring men from nonessential
employments to those auxiliary to the
war, formed the topic of an address
by Hugo V. Koch, director Of the
United States Employment bureau for
Minnesota, Tuesday evening at the
Comm rcial club. The speaker
stressed the need of corporation be-
tween employer and bureau as well
as between employe and bureau. He
directed attention to the seven points
to be considered in the government
plan of employment service: That
the government war industries are In
need of men; that there must be an
equal division of the sources of sup
ply Of these men; that the plan is
not compulsory on workmen; that as
only fit men are wanted in war indus
tries, it is the duty of nonessential
war industries to train unskilled labor
for skilled work; that no labor will
be taken from war industries, rail-
roads or farms; that the government
must have accurate information con-
corning the demands in the various
sections of the country, and that the
man and the job must be kept as
close to the same part of the country
as possible.
Employment of Women.
Mr.. Koch also touched on the en-
ployment of women, saying that in
this state alone employment OF
women had increased over 200 per
cent during the first year Of the war
In many parts of the country they
are being used to drive five-ton
trucks. >, He. advocated the employ
ment of boys over Is in factory work,
and insisted that the factories should
train them, even though the war in
dustries should claim them Later.

Perhaps we are all wrong and the

"bust trust" but that the poem which
it reproduces in quotation marks can.
However, we quote the poem just

NEED FOR FIRING SQUAD

ed by the government authorities In
dealing with the spy question, that the
plying of this trade by a German or
German sympathizer is far safer than
service in the army Of the Kaiser
The most serious penalty imposed
so far has been against an officer of
the United States army who volun-
tarily announced that he could not do
justice to himself or his men in lead
ing them against his relatives and
friends fighting on the German side.
A man who is convicted of being a
leader in the spy plots against Ameri-
can lives and property is given a
prison sentence less than that usually
meted out to an embezzling clerk.
Other men, engaged in subterranean
efforts which might result in the kill
ing of more American boys than could
be accomplished by an entire German
regiment, are pleasantly informed in
quarters where they are provided with
creature comforts unknown to the
young men who are unfolding the
Stars and Stripes In No Mans Land.
The reason for this state of affairs
is hard to appreciate. The country Is
at war and war Is not "civil" matter.
A man who conspires to place bomb
in an American troop-ship or a vessel
carrying much needed supplies to our
allies is warning against this country
as much (even more, we believe) as
the private or officer In the German
ranks who is exposed to American
bullets. Why, then, should we treat
these vipers as offenders against the
civil law? Let's order out the firing

Sebring Druggist
Tells Weird Tales
TRIPS IN MANY SEAS-HE WILL
SOON BE SHIP CAPTAIN-YOU
CAN BE ALSO IF You WISH

Tampa, Fla, April Especial
Leaning over the counter of local
drug store, w. E. Jones of Sebring
told newspaper man of voyages
through many seas and to many lands.
A registered pharmacist and graduate
of the Philadelphia College of Phar-
macy, his stories seemed a little out
fof place with the background of pat
ent medicines, of dental plates and
other items. His being here, however,
is due to the sea-and his desire to re-
turn to it as a deck officer in govern
ment service.
Mr.. Jones was one of the students in
the free school of navigation which
the U. S. Shipping board opened here
the latter part of February. In fact,
he is the first graduate of 80 students,
and when his officers papers have been
issued by the o. S. Steamboat Inspec-
lion service, he will give up his job
and take one with Uncle Sam. It is
10 train raen as navigators, that the
ships that are building or have been
taken over by the shippine board, may
be sent to sea, that the school of navi-
cation here and some 4O-odd others in
the country were opened.
His experience as an able seaman
has been varied, and though he has
never been aboard a ship that was
torpedoed, he was on the Vestras,
bound for Havre, France, when tile
Lusitania was sunk within $50 miles
Lof the merchantmen. Earlier in the
war, sailing out Of New York, he was
one Of the crew Of the fourth relief
ship TO set sail for Belgium-the
Phortfno, flying the Belgian flag, and
bound for Rotterdam.
Mr.. Jones finished the course in a
little more than three weeks.

EARLY CLOSING
Tampa Tribune. }

, dilOd 4
We cannot but express surprise at
the Tep0rJed ACTON OF the retail gro
GERS, or certain of them, in declaring
that despite the early closing move
ment over the country, the saving of
fuel through lessening the demand for
lights, and the recognized fact that
employers as well as clerks absolutely
need some time for healthful recrea-
ton, they will keep open until o.
clock.
So sure are we that there is an evil
dent misunderstanding somewhere,
that The Tribune feels sure the action,
if it is official, will be rescinded.
The daylight saving bill was signed
by the president setting our clocks
forward one hour. 1t was not for one
moment believed that any set of men
rof the Importance and patriotism of
the retail merchants of the country
would assume the attitude "That old
clock is an hour fast; we'll keep open
to the same sun position that we did"
The argument that is is necessary to
keep open until o'clock because the
laboring man must have a chance to
shop, is abused, and it becomes ride
ulous when we recall that 80 per cent
of the laboring men of 1918 quit work
at a or 80 o'clock. He is one man
who believes in "early closing" so far
as his work is concerned; and he would
be the last man in the world to de-
mand the unfair thing of keeping your
store open three hours after he has
cult work. Of the other 10 per cent
of the laboring men-those who do not
stop at or 4:30, 9 per cent of them
never do their own shopping, but like
you and me, put it off on the wife.
We are confident that when the re-

produced was by two witnesses who

he had no objection to being placed

harm to any one. Justice Brooks then
fixed the bond at $4,000.
