ate in the work and one of these viii be

Mr.. Simonds explained that this is a
part of the big war game to get the best
out of every man and that but two mat
tiers are involved in the operation Of the
plan. First, everything must be consid
cred from national point Of view; and
that secondly, Vermont must see to II
! that the states interests are looked aft
err In order to do this, the cooperation
Of employers and employees must be had
Three aims are made in the war game
ammunition, aviation and ships, after
which the man power may be used il
other essentials
Recently there were sent to Vermont
100 blanks upon which the manufactur
eTs were to fill out information wanted
by the government and of these only Is
were returned. This was the basis Of
Vermont's quota, which is much larger
! than it should be because the manufac
turers did not fill out their blanks Mr.
Simonds hopes TO get this reduced by adj
ditional information to the department
He asked the manufacturers to pay at
tenton TO all government correspondence
because, he said il is to their interests
to do so; therefore avoid losing then
help as he feared viii occur because the
100 men did not pay attention TO a mat
ter that interested them One of The
principal reasons why they should bear
this in mind is because their coal supply
may be lessened and they may not b.
| furnished cars for shipments unless they
follow government suggestions as re
ferred to in the above blanks,
Under the new plan, which is the gov
eminent plan for the governments inter
est, advertising for men, hoping to get
