GOVERNMENT
ORDERS MORE
MEN TO C0L0RS

WASHINGTON. June l.-Secre-
tary of War Baker has made it
plain that the governments "work-
or-fight" order will not include mil
ieary regulation of labor.
81 want to state in the most posi-
tive way" he said, that this regu-
lation has nothing to do with the
labor situation of the country, and
it is no intention of the war de-
partment, either in this regulation,
nr any other, to undertake to affect
the labor situation of the country
by military regulations.
at is not the intention of the de-
partment to permit the draft regu-
iations to be used to affect any la
bor controversy, and unemployment
by reason of strikes will not be re-
garded as such unemployment as
will cancel either exemption or de-
ferred classification.
"The whole question of the rela-
tion of the government to labor is
for administration by the labor de-
partment and the war department
does not intend any indirect inter-
ference in it."

ELECTRIC REMOVAL

Lawry & Vingen have moved their
Electrical supply store to 2S11 Wet
more on the east side of the ave-
nue.. They make speciality of
Mazda lamps which give a better
light with no greater cost for cur
ent. When you want electric fix
lures installed or repair work done
t will pay you to call Lawry G.
Vingen.

employed in stores and other mer-
camille establishments.
Men who are engaged as above
or who are idlers will not be per-
mitted to seek relief because of the
fact that they have drawn a late
order number or because they have
been placed in Glass II, III, or ~
on the grounds of dependency. The
fact that they are not usefully EN-
ployed will be the determining fact.
1t is expected that the list of non
useful occupations will be expended
from time to time as necessity will
require so as to include persons in
other employments.
Temporary absences from regular
employment not to exceed one week,
unless such temporary absences are
habitual or frequent, shall not be
considered as idleness.
At the present time the govern
ment refuses to pass on what is
"useful employment" but will throw
the burden of proof upon the regis
trant. 1t is held that there are a
sufficient number of openings in
essential war industries for every
person affected by the new order
and that no man will be able to
substantiate claim that he could
not find a job of the nature in
dicated by the order.
Enforcement of this order will
not be left to the local draft
boards. The district board must
approve of every decision by TIE
local board before it becomes eff
fective.
After July l when a registrant is
observed by local board to be an
idler or not in useful employment,
the board will serve him with
notice to appear before it on a
given date to show cause why he
should not be inducted into military
service.
If it appears to the satisfaction
Of the local board that the regis
trant is not usefully engaged, it will
prepare summary of all the facts
and send transcript of the entire
record to the district board.
If the case is decided against the
registrant by both boards, he will
be ordered to present himself for
physical examination. Unless ply
sical defects to render him unfit for
military duty appears, he will i'm
mediately be sent to the nearest
army training camp.
One of the first effects of the
order will be the abolishment of
armies of idlers in cities, towns and
villages.
1t is quite probable that this or
der is only preliminary to other
edicts that will make practically
every one in America war worker.

Messers. Charles Manning. C. E.
Spurgeon and l.. G. Beck visited the
Council and were given the floor to
talk on the Lambert Trublproof
fire project.
Mr.. Manning spoke of the advant-
ages to the city of securing this
industry and urged workingmen to
subscribe for stock in the company,
both as public-spirited aid to the
-ommunity and as a good individual
investment.
Mr.. Spurgeon related the findings
IF his Investigations while visiting
Portland. one of the objects of his
visit being to ascertain the profit
raying capabilities of the Portland
plant of the Lambert company. He
found the business paying good
dividends and that the future of tire
production could not keep pace with
automobile building. The company
has 4O-acre site in Peoria, Illinois,
upon which large factory has for
several years been in operation.
Mr.. Manning said the Everett
Improvement Company, through Mr..
McChesney had agreed to sell a site
to the company at a very reason
able figure, knocking off $4,000 from
the price at which the property is
now held.
Mr.. Beck, who has been several
years a stOckholder in the company
described the advantages of the
Trublproof tire. He said the tires
may be retreaded three times; that
the company guaranteed 5000 miles
travel to each tire sold and that If
the tire fails of that long a life
it will be replaced by new tire;
that the supply of raw material was
unlimited; that every stock purchas-
er during the life of the company
was satisfied with his or her hold
ings.
Mr.. Spurgeon called attention to
the meeting to be held at the Com
mercial club this evening to dis
cuss the location of the Trublproof
plant in this city.
Mr.. Manning spoke in commenda-
tion of the Commercial club and said
that the members of the Trades
Council and the trades unions would
be welcome at the Commercial Club
any time they wished to drop in
there.
President Vingen thanked the COM
mittee for their visit, declared the
Trublproof Tire project good
thing and asked the delegates to
take the matter up with their un-
ions.
Delegate Overman said he thought

WRITES OF "DODGING" SHELLS
ON WESTERN BATTLE FRONT

Fritz to land on you any time. but
with no fear in your heart somehow.
The gas is what gets your goat. Get
ting up in the night four or five times
to put on your gas mask and suck
that rubber mouthpiece is no joke.
He'll is too good for the man or ma
tion that first started the use of gas
in warfare. However. now that 1t Is
started, 1 pray that Germany will get
a good belly full OF it and of the kind
that does not need an ambulance to
take them to the hospital
"Oh. well, this is pretty rough talk
from a Y. NJ. c. A. secretary. but If
you had seen some of the things
have seen. you would get a change
of heart, too. / suspect.
Work Getting Along Fine"
.'Y. NJ C. A. work is going along
fine. The association has. to my
mind. measured up to its job, and
under the most difficult circumstances
instance: Here We are in Godfor-
saken mud hole in France with Just
a group of farmhouses and no stores
of any kind-not even a wine shop
and today we have up good roomy
tent for the men. and in a short
while will have seats, tables, etc.
We have phonograph and good rec
ords (the one / am using as a desk
in writing to you is Gems from Miss
SpringtimeD. We give moving pic
lures. have a good assortment of can
teen supplies, even to good old cigar
cites. and some other American goods.
Last night we had splendid talk
from Harry Emerson Fosdick. He
can take the insides out of a soldier
and tell him in the finest sort of way
just how the machine works. There
will be something doing all week.
Pay day today. and goodbye stock.
for the men have not been paid in
about three months.
MY bed roll with two blankets and
handful of straw under it is
stretched out on the muddy wet
ground. Believe it or not. but 1 have
slept like baby in that mud for
the past two nights. AS / write, my
pal. pastor of one of the big Presby-
terian churches of Detroit, is stretch
ed out on his roll taking a fine old
snooze. i have slept on mud floors
brick floors, tile floors of several
kinds. on board floors, box car floors
and in all sorts of places and under
all sorts of conditions.
The last building we occupied at
the front, said to have been at one
time the headquarters of Kaiser Bill
when he was in possession of that
district, is now a pile of stones. j
did not get out any too soon"

Use Of the Respirator.

Speed in adjusting the respirator,
its proper care and keeping it on
until told by an officer that 1t is safe
to remove it, are all essential points.
1t is put on IN SIX movements, which
should be completed in six seconds,
and you hold your breath while doing
1t, otherwise the gas which is in mask
when adjusted may prove fatal. All
breathing is done through the mouth
tube, the nostrils being clamp shut
by a special apparatus to prevent
any breath being taken through the
nose.
The officers and men at Humphreys
are being trained to meet any
eventuality-to wear their masks all
the time If necessary. They will be
given constant practice in wearing
their grotesque, MISUNDERSTANDING
headgear so that the apparent dis
comfort incident to their almost con-
stant use will be largely overcome,
and the men will unconsciously hold
their breath while adjusting them.
