FAIL TO APPLY
FOR POSITIONS
Rock Island Men Affected by New
Ruling Regarding Useful Work
Neglecting To Act.
ASK EMPLOYERS MEET
Urges Immediate Action To Pre-
vent Rush During Few Days
Before July /.

It is understood that the major
ity of Rock Island men who are af-
fected by the selective service law
amendment which orders men of
draft ages who are not now en-
gagged in useful work to secure es-
sential positions, have not thus far
taken steps to seek other work,
either in munition plants, on farms,
or in some shop where the work is
considered necessary.
Those who are neglecting to take
steps to find other positions are I'M
der the impression, it is said, that
the ruling is not to be enforced. On
or after July 1 those who are of
draft age and are still holding posi-
tons which the government has de-
clared as non-essential. will be
forced to take work which benefits
or will be prosecuted and no doubt
indicted into military service.
F w. ,Rinck, superintendent Of
the Illinois Free Employment bu-
reau, stated today that but few
Rock Island men thus far have ap-
Piled for useful jobs. Several have
applied to this office for farm jobs, -"
he said, but no employers of the
men affected have as yet consulted
with me or have applied for work
ers to fill the places of the men
who will by July 1 be forced to seek
useful Jobs.
while l have not received Of
fetal notice to act as the employ
ment agent for the men affected by
the ruling, l am prepared in most
cases to furnish jobs both for the
men that must change positions
and for those not of draft age who
must take the vacated places. 1
urge the employers of men to con-
suit with me in regards to the mat
ter before the last few days be-
fore the ruling is enforced when I
expect many will be applying In
order to escape being forced to take
whatever job is offered them"
According to the report of the
work done by the employment Of
fee during the month of May as
compiled by Mr.. Rinck, 4,3S7 posi-
tions were open. OF this number
1926 were filled out of applications
for work totaling 2,493.

Fortunately. for the voter Of Penn

be hard to decide, when we have

Russell Is now. as he has always

is a worker and rsult getter. but
he doesn't have time to waste in
running about over the district har-

Neither does he have that great ST.

their millions Of ill-gotten wealth

This. Mr.. Voter. is but brief
statement of the facts; but If 1t is
not sufficient to make you sit up and
take notice you will certainly wake
up some day. after it's too late, and
find that you have slept on your
rights
Don't for your interest, and for
all that you love and hope to live for,
permit the great victory we have
won in the great war, to be purchas-

to do, so that they may make the re-
construction laws to suit themselves,
and make this Il nation of paupers,
to pay the tax year after year. to

advice than this. Will you hear
it and heed it, while the power is in
