The Government needs nearly one
million men to work in war indus

in the war industries in order for the
Allies to win the war,
Maryland's quota of this is 14,S40,
and these men must not come from
the Farm, the Railroads or the Mines.
The following gentlemen have been
appointed from Anne Arundel County
to see to it that this county sends her
full quota:
Frank NJ. Duvall, chairman; Alfred
Perrie, A. Theodore Brady, DR..
Thomas H. Brayshaw and George
Potee
1t is determined to close all nom
essential work and to eliminate every
non-essential job.
It is hoped Anne Arundel countians
may see and realize the importance of
meeting the demand for these men.
Any information regarding the matter
may he obtained at The Capital Office.
John X. Shaw, Federal Director of
Labor, held conference in Baltimore
this morning with Gen. Francis E.
Waters, chairman of the Council of
Defense. following his trip to Wash
ington yesterday on the question of
supplying $4,000 men from this State
to meet the national labor require
ments.
General Waters said Mr.. Shaw fail
ed to find any legal means to secure
the labor on his Washington trip and
that the whole campaign to get the
necessary men will be based on an ap-
peal to patriotism. A campaign will
be carried forward, beginning imme-
diately, urging the men on grounds of
patriotism to come forward and offer
themselves for the work
Il believe the plan will work." said
General Waters, emphasizing his re-
marks by pounding his desk with his
fist. 1--WE got the men we needed in
the shipbuilding campaign and in the
even greater necessity now before us
l am certain the State will furnish
any hanging back, either among the
employers or the employees. We ex-
pect to have detailed plan to present
to the people shortly"
General Waters said he agreed with
the view that there are sufficient men
in Maryland to fill this States quota,
despite the large amount of war work
He thinks the results will soon begin
to show it.
1t was stated that employers who
have non-essential business and give
up voluntarily their employees will
receive honorable mention for their
patriotism and self-sacrifce.

county at one time. and it viii prac-
tically exhaust Glass 1, colored. In fact,
it will be necessary to rake and scrape
to get the number together without go

about proportionately equalization Of
the demands of the draft upon the two
races in this county. Glass 1, white be-
ing now about at an end.
This number is Anne Arundefs pro-
portion of about 1900, which viii be
required from the State. 1t is the
largest quota of any county. For some
reason. possibly on account of the large
demand for workmen in connection
with the new work at the Naval Acad-
envy, the demand for colored men was
quite small for some time. Now Glass
is practically exhausted by the two
heavy demands in close succession.
The withdrawal of so many colored
men will mean quite serious blow to
the construction work going on at the
Naval Academy, and will be an addi-
tional burden on the farmers, who will
then be in the midst of their harvest
ing
No other county reaches the hundred
mark in the number of the colored
men asked. The next largest quota is
Montgomery's from which SO are re-
quired.

Trade in Richmond
Business Holding Steady---Rc-
taiiBuying on Incrcasc---Ac-
tiuity Of the Wholesalers.

II. U. Dun e Co.'S special report of
a weeks trade conditions in Richmond.
prepared for The Times Dispatch, is
as follows:
Business is holding steady in all
lines, and sales generally continue in
excess OF the same period last year.
Prevailing cool weather has stimuiat ted
retail buying and the sale Of Scasonablc
wearing apparel Is we'll advanced.
Further conservation is being cXer-
cised in the buying OF food and pro-
duce dealers report only fair sales.
This latter condition, however. is due
largely to the scarcity of arrivals in
the commission district.
Manufacturing is almost wholly for
government consumption, and daily the
demand from this quarter increases,
and the output for civilian use is more
and more restricted.
Wholesale dry goods and notions are
very active. flats. caps. drugs and
hardware are in demand. while milli-
merry houses are having n very satisfac-
tory season.
The leather market shows the effect
of recent government orders and shoes
continue high and hard to get. The
same is. true of rubber shoes boots,
etc; Coilections are good.
me canning season is about closed
and this VIII release many hands for
other activities. The pack has been
large; but abnormally high prices pre-
and prices this winter will 10 higher
than ever before known.

CARY STREET BUSINESS
y Most Active Week in the Great Conn.
try Produce Centerx-Rcceipts
Quite large.

Last week was one Of the most ac-
tive Cary Street wholesale produce
dealers and commission merchants
nave had for two months or more, and
that is not saying that business has
not been good, even active, all Of the
Two months or more. The receipts OF
vegetables, fruits, poultry and all other
things that are shipped to Cary and
Thirteenth Streets. except eggs, were
ample 10 supply the .urgen, demand,
but there was no stocking up, and very
few goods OF any kind were left in
the big commission warehouses at the
close of the weeks business.
In the fruit line receipts OF grapes
we're much heavier than for any week
this season. Concords, Delawares and
other brands came in quantities larg.
er than heretofore, but there was an
active demand for them all the week,
and Saturday night found all Of them
in the hands of ultimate consumers or
retailers. Chestnuts and chinquipins
were among the new offerings. and the
being exhausted before the end of the
week, the corner fruit stands and the
protest. onai roasters being eager for
the fruit.
Potatoes. both Irish and sweet were
in good receipt, but there was no weak
cning of prices. Poultry remained
firm at former quotations, varying very
little at any time during the week. Re-
ceiptS of eggs were the smallest Of
the season. In fact. fresh country eggs
s the term is understood here. are GU,
now all the go. Some OF the whole
salers predict that by Christmas fresh
country eggs will be somewhere near
81 dozen.
