The Press has for some time ad- vocated the draft of labor for es- sentials as we'll as the draft of men for the fighting. The government IS coming mighty close to this by the appointment of a state board for the allocation of labor. A local board will be established in each town also. The duties of these boards will be to move labor about so that the supply to essentials will be kept up. This is a step in the right direction, and will insure the proper support of our boys in the trenches.-Bristol Press.
