ASK QUICK EXEMPTION
FOR SHIPBUTLDERS
Chiefs of Yards Complain
Draft Is Robbing Them of
Men

Provost Marshal General Crowder
will be asked to formulate a uniform
plan whereby applications Of shipyard
workers for deferred classincations in
the selectivc draft will receive immc-
diate attention of local and district
boards.
This action was taken at a meeting
called by the employment managers OF
the important yards, held at Atlantic
city
The biggest problem confronting the
industry Is the labor shortage, and
many of the shipbuilders blame a con-
siderable share Of their troubles on the
red tape" that binds the draft boards.
Scores of cases were reported where
men urgently needed by the shipbuild.
crs were inductcd into the National
Army through the failure Of local
boards to act upon their applications for
deferred classihcations IN sufficient time.
Many Good Men Drafted
Discussion Of the several phases Of
tho labor question continued through
out the greater part of the day. 1t was
stated by &. J. Drennon, Of the sun
Company. of Chester, that in the last
several weeks many Of his best mo
Chanics have been taken by the draft
board, and that unless a halt is soon
called, the yards along the coast will
he depleted of their most valuable
workers.
In the matter Of instruction, there
was a general agreement to increase
the number of shipyard schools and
extend them to more and more trades,
1t is recommended that additional in
structorS be procured at once.
g. J. Drcnncn. Of the sun Company
Henry 6. Hunter, Of New York, and
H. l.. kcndcll, of the New York snip
building Corporation, were appointed tC
represent the shipping interests in Wash
/ ington in II conference over the drat'
question with General Crowdcr, and If
/ there is no satisfactory arrangement
/ with the head uf the draft department
they were instructed TO carry their plea
/ to President Wilson.
The subject of alien enemies employed
! in the shipyards was also gone into
but no final decision was made as t,
( whether measures will in every case be
taken to oust them or whether then
, loyalty to the country which affords
, them a living will be depended upon.
100000 In ShipyHrds
Tho number of men working in th'
, shipyards of the Atlantic coast wa'
placed at 100000. which must be in
! creased to about GO0.000 if the aims o
the shipping board ana the EmcrGencl
. Fleet Corporation are to be fulfilled. Al
agreement was made between the en-
1 ployment representatives that no mel
should he hired from each other, "a
this would tend to settle the labor sit
uation, since it has undoubtedly growI
into a constant floCling to and fr,
wherever the highest wages are paid.

"Can the Cockerels"
BY J. &. Hawkins

As part Of the governments cam.
paign for increasing production and the
conservation Of foodstuffs. all poultry
raisers are asked to cooperate in pro-
d1cing infertile eggs. To this end this
week has been designated as "Can the
Cockerel" week and all poultry raissrs
and farmers are asked to comply with
the following recommendations:
]. All surplus cockerels, culls and un.
desirable adult males should be disposed
Of by sale or by use on the home table
or by canning for future consumption.
Young cockerels should be disposed OF
as soon as they reach marketable size,
from ! l-2 to 2 l-2 pounds.
2. Males to be retained as breeders
should be separated from females as
soon as possible and kept in separate
quarters until again needed as breeders.
II is estimated by the Department of
Agriculture that it costs the egg pro-
ducers Of this country fully fifteen mil.
lion dollars practically oregon's quota
in the Third Liberty Loan every year
because of the neglect to produce In
fertile eggs. In addition, every male
bird carried through the year costs
three dollars to feed without return in
any form. On farms having only ordi.
nary stock It IS highly desirable to dis.
pose Of adult males at once except
those proved to be good breeders and
these should be separated from the
laying stock, Much better fertility
will result next spring.
The Home Demonstration Agents are
preparing instructions and recipes for
home canning of poultry which will ap-
pear in this paper or may be secured
from the o. A. College, 1t should be
remembered that every male bird sold
or disposed of conserves the grain sup.
ply and also results in better produc.
ton of better eggs.
