BOARD OF TRADE NOTES

The days of war are long and irk-
some and many sacrifices are required
on the part of the people and while We
perhaps feel that we have carried them
willingly, still greater sacrifices are to
be made before peace can come hon
orably We have a right to feel OPP
timistic because of the gains made
during the past week, the stopping OF
tn German drive and the starting of
an offensive that has yielded much
ground and many prisoners, but there
must be many such offensives, much
ground gained, long casualty lists and
larger sacrifices before there will be
any relief from present conditions or
hope for a return to normal basis OF
living or freedom of action. There is
much optimism in Washington but it
is the consensus Of opinion of those
in close touch with war matters that
we may, as people, expect no relief
prior TO 1920, and even should the war
end sooner, it will require considerable
time in the readjustment from a war
to peace basis for conditions to become
at all settled.

LABOR MOBILIZATION

On August lst, the supplying of war
industries with common labor will be
centralized in the U. S. Employment
Service of the Department of Labor,
and all independent recruiting of COM
mon labor by war industry manufac-
turers having payroll of more than
| 100 men will be diverted to the U. S.
Employment Service. This is in
| accordance with the decision OF the
War Labor Policies Board and ap-
proved by the President June 18th.
The above action was found neces-
sary to overcome a perilous shortage
of unskilled labor in war industries.
This shortage was aggravated by an
almost universal practice of labor
stealing and peaching.
While the restrictions against the
1 private employment of labor apply
only to common labor at the present
time, these restrictions will, as soon as
possible, be extended to include skilled
labor. In the meantime, recruiting OF
skilled labor for war production will
be subject to federal regulations now
being prepared.
This drastic change in the Nations
labor program has been found neces-
sary in order to protect the employer
and the employed, to conserve the
labor supply of the communities and
to cut down unnecessary and expen-
sive labor turnover and to increase
the production of essentials. While
non-essential industries will be drawn
upon to supply the necessary labor for
war work, the withdrawal will be con-
Quoted on an equitable basis in order
to protect the individual employer as
much as possible.
Under the operating methods
adopted, the country has been divided
into thirteen federal districts, each
district in charge Of superintendent
of the U. S. Employment Service. The
States within each district are in turn
in charge of a State Director, who has
full control of the service within his
State.
In each community there is being
formed a local community labor board,
consisting of representative OF the
U. S. Employment Service, repre-
sentative of employers and a repre-
sentative of the employed. This board
will have jurisdiction over recruiting
and distributing labor in its locality
A survey of the labor requirements
is being made, and in order that each
community may be fully protected,
rulings have been issued that no labor
shall be transported out Of any COM
munity by the U. S. Employment
Service without the approval Of the
State Director; nor shall any labor
be removed by the Service from one
state to another without the approval
of the L. S. Employment Service at
Washington. Every effort will be
made TO discourage any movements
from community to community or
state to state by any other service.
This labor program has the approx
al Of all producing Departments Of
the Government, through the War
Labor Policies Board.
It must be understood that farm
labor will be protected, for the INDUS
trial program distinctly includes spec
ial efforts TO keep the farmers sup
piled with labor.
The requirements that unskilled
labor must be recruited through the
sole agency Of the U. s. Employment
Service does not at present apply in
the following cases:

To the Editor of
The Manchester Journal
Is it possible that the Trustees Of
our beautiful village Of Manchester do
not realize that the prosperity Of the
village depends largely upon the
health conditions Of the place? 1t is
not question of the pleasure alone Of
the summer visitors, but the health Of
transient and permanent residents. II
the summer is to be enjoyed in the
natural way by walking along our
streets and the travelled roads, and by
sitting on our piazzas, it is quite
necessary that oil should be put on the
roads in sufficient quantity and in
proper manner to ensure our comfort
and health. We have only to step out
side our doors to literally eat dust. |
believe all or nearly all the residents
do their share or are willing 10 do it
toward procuring this most necessary
comfort. II this is not forthcoming
in the way of oil, or at least plentiful
ly sprinkling the streets the entire
length, it is very certain the town will
lose its attraction as pleasure and
health resort, when one can no longer
live outdoors without taking to the
woods. May we know the reason for
this very serious neglect
Yours truly,
Miss Mary B. Gleason.

STATE BOARD OF CHARITIES
ACTIVE

Secretary Jeffrey of the State
Board Of Charities and Probation, has
completed his investigation Of three
defective child cases, they have been
admitted to the Mary Fletcher Hospi-
tai at Burlington for treatment.
The FIRST case is that Of a three
months old child which had its shoul-
der broken at time Of birth. The ply
sician reported that the child would
never have real use Of its arm unless
ii was taken to a hospital and operat-
ed upon. This child is illigitimate and
is case where an over anxious Over
seer of the Poor took a few dollars and
let the man escape.
The second case, an eight year old
boy with two club feet. 1t is proposed
TO operate upon this case and give this
unfortunate child two good feet to go
through life with.
The third case is an Is months old
boy with club foot and bad hernia,
After operation and treatment ii is
believed that these three children can
be made physically well. In view of
the fact the parents of these children
are unable to secure for them the
necessary medical and surgical assist
ance, the expense will be borne by the
State Board.
Secretary Jeffrey has several de-
serving cases to investigate and il
found to come within the scope Of his
work they will soon be cared for

The Rich Lumber Company needs
men for essential war work and there
are men in town looking for work
but who want something easier to do
than handling spruce boards Some of
our boys at the front would be glad to
handle boards for rest, but they are
not looking for the soft snaps with
short hours.

Effective August lst, as previously
stated in these columns, the United
States Employment Service will un-
dertake to be the medium through
which employers obtain their unskilled
labor and labor must not be solicited
directly or indirectly, although such
men as present themselves voluntarily
to employers may be engaged. The
policy Of the War Administration has
been to encourage self government
among the industries SO long as they
would subordinate all selfish and com
petitive interests to war necessities
and this policy will be continued, but
employers must give up competition
and self-interest. The State Director
for Vermont and New Hampshire is
t. X. Sawyer, 442 Central St., Frank

In view of the continued shortage Of
sugar and probable greater shortage
next year, Vermont should make
early preparation for utilizing to the
fullest extent its maple sugar re-
sources. We raised this year prac-
tically the equivalent of all the cane
sugar used by US and there is no reas-
on why the maple sugar crop cannot
be doubled another year. To accomp-
lish this, orders for supplies should be
given early and PREPARATION made this
winter. There is certain to be a good
market for the crop at prices not less
than received this year and it is our
patriotic duty to utilize this resource
to the limit.

We are beginning to realize, Just a
little, what our duty is in this war.
We are still very far from working in
the spirit of our boys who are offer
ing their lives. We have been feel
ing rather salf satisfied if we were
doing anything, however small. When
men are called for, over there, to do
an extra dangerous piece of work,
they do not ask to be examined for
some physical disability or ask to be
left in camp for necessary, but safe
work. They volunteer, TO a man, for
the more dangerous work. We are
still very comfortable and suffer little
or no inconvenience. Here and there
a man is told to get into some useful,
but safe occupation or be drafted.
Otherwise we are not interfered with,
except to be asked to use some good
food in place of some other good food
which is not SO plentiful. When the
war is over and our real defenders
are back, many men, both young and
I'D, are going to regret that they have
been content to do their "bit" instead
of their "best."

two pounds person q month will not
seem 30 difficult II il is realized that
England is now on the same basis,
France maximum Of one and one
half pounds and Italy about one
pound. This is voluntary but is none
the less binding II We are true Ameri-
cans and have the interest Of our own
country and of the world at heart
Many reasons might be given for this
cut in ration Of sugar but when many
Of our boys are making the supreme
sacrifice, do we require reasons in or
der TO enable US to make small per
sonal sacrifice when a great depart
ment Of our government requests US
voluntarily to honor such ration?
