Mrs. Ada Lee daughter, Mrs. En-
erson Barrett of Boston, Mass. a
brother. l.. e. Lee of San Francisco,
and grandson, Lee Barrett. A sec
ond brother, Ben Lee, died a number

Mr.. and Mrs. Lee, arrived in Reno last

URGENT NEED FOR
ALL KINDS LABOR

To the Editor: The accompanying
copy of a telegram received from
Washington today is self-explanatory.
Will you please run a story based
upon the information therein con-
tanned? 1t will, of course, be ap-
parent to you that the governments
new labor program, of which this is
the first gun, is one of great impor-
tance. Directly or indirectly it is go
ing to touch every one of us.
Federal Director of the Public Serv-
ice Reserve Charles S. Knight is rap
idly completing his organization to
handle this most important campaign,
which will be on in a few days.
Director knight estimates that of
Nevada's quota of 1880 men probably
500 can be held over in this state, but
that at least 1000 of them must actu-
ally be sent out to meet the demands
of the government
Serious as this may seem, 1t Is
unavoidable and you are urged to give
your best energies to the end that
Nevada may again fulfill her obliga-
tions to the nation.

The big labor jam has come and the
final tabulations of labor demand
show present shortage of one mill

shortage coming as soon as the new

need for supplies. Skilled labor situ-
alton equally serious.
Georgia was notified yesterday that
unless the state could furnish the
eight million dollar picric acid plant
at Brunswick with five thousand la
orers at once the entire construction
force would be laid off and the plant
moved out of Georgia.
The Midvale steel plant at Coates
Vile. Pennsylvania, has been forced
TO shut down part of its plant for lack
of laborers. Orders are being sent

happens to private business, but the
men cannot be taken from farms, rail-
roads or mines. Make this plain. The
facts herein contained will become
evident throughout the country within

possible to get this over, using this
wire as your basis. Lay facts before
your governor, mayor. bankers. cham
bers of commerce, labor leaders and
the proper officials of your state

Please give this priority over any
