S. 0. S. CALL FOR
LABOR FOR j. 5.
WAR INDUSTRIES
EMPLOYMENT SERVICE TO SEND
OUT AGENTS TO FIND RE-
CRUiTS TO WORK.
j. H. FORGEY SPECIAL AGENT
Will Assist Local office In Supply
ing Men for industries-To Disturb
Essential Industries AS Little AS
Possible.

So great is the demand for labor at
the various government war indus
tries that S. O. S. call has been
sent out to all offices of the U. S.
employment service to recruit men
with all speed and to appoint as
many special agents or scouts as
may be needed to find the required
force of workmen.
James M. Dedman, local agent for
the service, has appointed j. II. For
gey, of Santa Fe, as his special field
assistant, and Mr.. Forgey will spen1
practically all of his time in the coun-
ties of this district looking for men
to be employed on government Jobs.
In addition to Mr. Forgey several spe-
cial agents or scouts" will be named
to make a thorough search for skilled
and unskilled laborers in this section
to be sent to the various government
enterprises.
Mr.. Dedman stated this morning
that is the desire Of the employment
service to disturb industrial condi-
tions as little as possible, but that
the government work comes first, mu-
nitions, guns and other war supplies
must be manufactured, ships must lie
built and all the various government
industries must be carried forward
with all possible speed Consequently
the employment agents are to re-
cruit men from all sections, but are
instructed not to take enough men
from any essential industry to damage
it materially and to take as little labor
as possible from farms that are al
ready short of labor
Meanwhile, the employment service
is working on a plan to relieve the
farm labor shortage as much as DOS
sible. 1t is believed that some system
will soon be inaugurated that will
greatly tighten the stress of the farm
labor situation

DAWSON CHEMICAL
CO. WINS ON APPEAL

The Court of Appeals has handed
down on opinion in the litigation be-
tween the Baugh Chemical Company
and the Dawson Chemical Company,
located at Curtis Bay, this county, re-
versing the decision entered by Judge
Duffy, in the Circuit Court No. 2, in
favor of the Baugh Company, and dis
missing their bill of complaint.
In the opinion filed by the Court of
Appeals that Court finds that by the
terms of the contract between the two
companies the Dawson company was
not obliged to deliver acid to the
Baugh company after the Dawson
company's supply of pyrites, the raw
material from which such acid had
been made, had become exhausted,
and when the Dawson company was
unable, owing to the cutting off OF
importations due to the war, to obtain
a further supply, and had, therefore,
under an arrangement made with such
of its customers as agreed to pay the
increased cost, begun the manufac-
ture of acid from birthstone or sui
phur instead of from pyrites.

LINTHICUM URGES
GREATER SEVERITY
Congressman Would Have COuntry's
Enemies Al Home Well
Punished.

Stern measures for the handling of
anarchists, /. w. w. and others who
are trying to hamper the prosecution
of the war were advocated yesterday
by Representative Linthicum, whose
country home is located in upper Anne
Arundel County, in a short speech in
the House Mr.. Linthicum said he was
opposed to the idea of giving these
men easy places in internment camps.
1T is high time," said he. that we
begin to realize that the doctrine that
He who is not with us is against us
is just as true today as it was nearly
1000 years ago. The anarchist or
alien who goes about this country
teaching false doctrines and stirring
up the people is doing just as much
damage perhaps as the Germans
abroad who are fighting our soldiers
on the battle field.
1T is up to every one of US to be
united in the enforcement of this war
against autocracy, and the man who is
not with us, who does not sympathize
with us and is either passively or ac-
lively opposing our plans, is an enemy
to the country and should be dealt
with i'll proper manner.
Il am not in favor of putting these
men in government camps of comfort
and ease, but / think, when found
guilty by proper tribunal, they should
be dealt with severely. They are the
most dangerous enemies our govern
ment has"

NEW WAR SERVICE
FOR BOY SCOUTS
Do A GOOD TURN
President Asks Boy Scouts To
Secure Black Walnut Timber
For Making Gun Stocks
THE NEED FOR SPEED
FOR WAR PURPOSES
Farmers Who Have Black Wal
nut May Notify Scoutmaster
Ivon T. Morton.

The President has imposed a new
task on the Boy Scouts as an import
ant and practical patriotic activity, but
also as live, interesting, outdoor job,
which links itself with many phases of
scouting
The government needs black wal
nut In fact, black walnut wood is a
prime necessity for the prosecution of
our war program of guns and aircraft.
AT this moment the entire black wal
nut population of our forests is sub
ject to census classification for war
purposes.
In behalf of the War Department,
Boy Scouts are asked to undertake this
black walnut census.
1t is desired to locate Immediately
all available standing black walnut
timber wherever it occurs. isolated or
in small groups as well as in larger
lots Indeed it is in this minute sur
vey that Scouts can probably render
the most genuine and practical service
precisely as in the Liberty Bond cam
paign the distinctive Scout contribu-
tion was to serve as cleaners after the
reapers.
1t is important that every tree of
this species be located and placed on
record with details as to its size and
availability, together with the owners
name and address, and such other data
as is essential in providing the in
formation required by the government
This information data, as collected
by Scouts, will be tabulated by the
Agriculture and placed at the disposal
of the government
Every Scoutmaster within the limi-
tations of the black walnut area as
designated by the Forest Service has
been sent supply of report blanks for
use in the above census with waiting
to ascertain whether there is any
available black walnut timber in his
/ immediate vicinity or not.
The need of the timber is too in
sistent, the necessity for promptness
in locating the wood too overwhelm-
ing to admit of the sitting process
which would ordinarily be expedient.
If the government knew precisely
where and in what quantities the
black walnut was to be found, there
would be little occasion for Scout serv-
ice i'm the matter.
All farmers who have black walnut
to sell will please notify Mr.. Ivon T.
Morton, Scoutmaster, 1771s Duke of
Gloucester street, Annapolis. Md, who
will, in turn, present the facts to the
government requiring the timber.
