ously put in the upper classes

1t is expected that the arrangement
will bring into class one, more than
500 900 men.
Cases where -registrants We're mar

TO DISCUSS THE VIRTUAL
SUSPENSION OF INDUSTRY

NEW ORLEANS. June :. - Naval
stores operators of Florida, Georgia.
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana
have been requested by Cliff Williams.
of Meridian, Miss. district United
states labor commissioner to meet
him in New Orleans, June 10 to discuss
the proposed virtual suspension of the
naval stores industry for the period OF
the war
Operators here state Mr.. Williams
has advised them that the manufac-
ture of turpentine and rosin is re-
garded as nonessential and unless they
can show that it is necessary at this
time, the labor employed must be re-
leased to other industries. A large
percentage of rosin and turpentine
produced il was said, was consumed
by soap and paint manufacturers and
cutting off of supplies also would in
dicate curtailment of those industries.

MEN WORKED UP
OVER SITUATION
ANNOUNCED THAT GOVERNMENT
REGARDS PRODUCTION OF Ros-
IN AND TuRPENTINE AS NON
ESSENTIALS.


Turpentine producers of this section
are much wrought up over meeting
which has been called in New Orleans
June 10. to take over the question of
whether or not labor used in the pro-
duction OF rosin and turpentine may
not be used more advantageously to
the government in other lines 1t is
stated that the United States labor
commissioner for Georgia, Alabama.
Mississippi and Louisiana has called
the meeting, and has summoned tur-
pentine producers. to assemble at the
st. Charles hotel on the date men
toned at o'clock. 1t is explained
that the government considers the pro-
duction of rosin and turpentine as
non essentials. and that these products
are not regarded as necessary to the
prosecution of the war. Turpentine
labor, it is held, can be used to bet
ter advantage in other lines, and if
this action is carried out it will re-
suit in at least a partial destruction
of the industry. Those interested are
urged to have representation at the
meeting, which includes consumers.
producers and fealers in naval stores.
The most careful study and coopera-
ton is needed to meet what is pro-
nounced as extremely. critical situation.
