Industry plays as essential and hon.
orable role in this great struggle as do
our military armaments. We all re-
cognize the truth of this, but we must
also see its necessary implications
namely. that industry. doing a vital
task for the nation, most receive the
support and assistance of the nation"
Therefore, | .olemnly
urge all employers engaged in war
work to refrain after August lst, 1918,
from recruiting unskilled labor in any
manner except through thi. central
agency. urge labor to respond as
loyalty as heretofore to any calls issued
by this agency for voluntary enlistment
in essential industry And ask them
both alike to remember that no sacrifice
will have been In vain. If we are able
to prove beyond all question that the
highest and best form of efficiency is
the spontaneous cooperation OF free

Explosives Laws.

Shortly after the United States
entered the war, a number of
munition plants, bridges etc were
blown up, presumably by German
spies. A law was at once passed
requiring every man or firm that
buys, sells or uses or keeps on
hand explosives Of any kind tc
secure a license from a licensor
The licensor for Richmond is
the Clerk of Court, ]. A. McAulay
So far only thirteen licenses
have been issued in the county,
three being to druggists and two
to hardware stores. Not only
dealers must secure license, but
every purchaser musta also. And
if there is anyone in the county
who has explosives on hand, he
must get a license to keep same.
The licenses date for one year
from issuance. Those securing
