The la Dor situation in Virginia
has become so acute that strenuous eff
fort will be made to enact a law at
this session of the general assembly
compelling all able bodied males be-
tween the age OF eighteen and fifty to
become occupied IN some useful trade
or pursuit.
Governor Davis is in accord wit
the purposes of the bill drawn TO ac-
complish this and introduced in the
assembly by Delegate Dodson, of Nor
folk city,
When the house meets today Dele
gate Dodson' will so inform the menu
bers and move that the committee on
general laws be discharged FROM fur
Their consideration of the bill, and an
attempt will be made to have II come
up for immediate consideration as an
urgent war measure.
The bill has been carefully revised
to prevent anything inimical to the
interests of organized labor, making 1t
impossible to use the provisions of the
law to break strikes. and TO safeguard
the interests of labor as whole.
