PRESIDENT ACTS IN
 LABOR DISPUTES
Radical Action by Chief Executive for Industrial Peace-Men Must Work or Fight-Employers, Too,
 Are Warned.

WASHINGTON, Sept -Presi- dent Wilson himself took hand to- day in the enforcement of industrial peace and continued war production. In effect he gave notice to employers and employees alike that no interrup- tion of production will be tolerated; that both the government powers of communicating and the work or fight order will be applied rigidly where necessary to deal with recaleitrants.
 The Presidents warning was given in letter to union machinists and other striking workmen at Bridge port, Conn, who left their jobs in war material plants week ago be- cause they were dissatisfied with an award by the war labor board to which wage demands had been sub mitted. The men were told to go back to work on pain of being barred from employment for a year, and of losing all claim to exemption from military service on the occupational grounds.
 Reciting that the award of the wal labor boards umpire in the Bridge port controversy had been accepted by 90 per cent of the men affected the president declared that if disre. gard of solemn adjudication of a tri. bunal to which both parties submitted their claims be temporized with Agreements become mere scraps oi paper"
 The President disclosed that the War Department, with his approval i had taken over the plant and business of the Smith & Wesson Company al Springfield, Mass. because the com pany refused to accept the media tion of the national war labor board and had haunted it's rules of deeis- ions approved by presidential proc lamation.
 ct is of the highest importance, the letter continued, ''to secure com pliance with reasonable rules and pro cedure for the settlement of indus trial disputes. Having exercised dras- tic remedy with recalcitrant employ CTS, it is my duty to use means equal ly we'll adapted to the end with law less and faithless employees"

WARNS BUYERS OF COTTON SEED
State Food Administrator Explains a Situation in Arkansas That Will Materially Affect the Prices at
 the MilIs--A Fair Deal.
Special to The star.

Special to The Star
 Little Rock, Sept, i3-Pendine g readjustment of values which is be- lieyed to be absolutely necessary. County Food Administrators were today advised by State Food Admin istrator Hamp Williams to caution ginners and cotton seed buyers against using seed prices recently promulgated unless they are confident sales can be made on basis of Ss margin, which they are allowed. The figures as published were determined at Washington from the yield of oil obtained in crushing cotton seed last season. It now develops that due to the extreme drouth in Arkansas the past summer, the seed this year will contain approximately 31z gallons less oil per ton This difference is bound to reflect in the market value of the seed, and until complete and reliable data is available the State Food Administration suggests that seed be purchased on safe basis with the guarantee to the producer that refund win be made for any diff ference in price after the price be- comes stable.
 There is tremendous question of justice involved between the producer and Inc mills, said Mir. Williams. "I am determined to see that nothing shall be taken from the producer for the benefit of the mills, neither shall the producer profit at the expense of the mills A fair deal for all parties is what l shall insist on"

 Classification.

A Hew recOrd was set for registra- tion of man-power in Polk county when, on Thursday, the precinct reg istrars recorded total of 173s names of those available under Uncle Sam's latest call.
 This exceeded the first draft call by 625. The total registration on June 5, 1917, was HOS. Members of the county exemption board worked until late Thursday night to receive and record reports from the precinct registrars The boards report to headquarters at Little Rock was to- tai of 173l from Polk county. As a proof of the thoro manner in which the registration was handled the re. vised figures the next morning only showed slight change, two addition al names being added, making tn, final total 1733.
 Only five men were registered wht required special classification Th' quintet is composed of two Germans two negroes and one Mexican.
