REDUCE LABOR WASTE

President Wilson's demand that all employers on war contracts secure theil unskilled labor through the gov- ernment employment offices. will no doubt help greatly in reducing the waste in labor distribution. It should be borne in mind, however, that by what General Crowder holds to be ncn- productive pursuits does not necessar- ily mean that every man within the draft age has to be engaged on gov. ernnent work, but must be at work in some occupation that does not come within the nonessentia1 class As to what is and what is not productive work seems to be left largely to the loca- boards, as the employment Serv- ice has no connection with the war de- par tment, except to aid in securing em- ployment as far as possible for all.
 Tt is very often the casa that men call at the government office hero seeking information in regard to work and upon inquiry it is Sound that they are already employed in useful occupa- tfons In such cases thay are then told that they can best serve by work ms on at the job they are on, and it is often the case that, after explana- tion is made, man will see that it is better not to change. But for the man earnestly seeking a job, and who is not afraid of work the employment office can always find place"

WORK OR FIGHT"
 ORDER IS CAUSE
 OF MUCH UNREST
Examiner Samuels Explains That Government Has No Juicy Plums for Easy
 Job Seekers

President Wilson's work or fight order has thrown q scare into hum dreds of Birmingham young men who do not know where they stand. Many of them, already employed in useful occupations have sought information from the local government employment agency and put in applications for jobs that fall in the useful class.
 In this connection B. E. Samuels, ex- aminer at the local agency. yesterday made the following statement
 ''~he office of the United States em- ploymen service in the Chamber of Commerce building, in this city. is now becoming one of the most popular places in town. It is 9 regular in- formation bureau, as well as distrih- uting point for labor of all kinds But the people are beginning to learn that the government does not run this part o. the war business for the purpose of handing out juicy plums in the way Of soSt jobs with big salaries.

DERBY IS MEETING
 WITH SUCCESS ON
 BULL SALE' TRIP
Last Week of Campaign Be gins TOmOrrow-Barnett Expected From New
 York This Week

No formal meeting of the Red Cross bull sale committee was held yesterday, but several county chairmen and Red Cross chapters sent in reports of clubs being organized. A spirit of optimism now pervades the committee and it feels hopeful of from 75 to 100 clubs having representatives here on July ? to bid for bulls.
 r. l. Desby of Sumter county. who orig mated the idea of the sale. and pre- vailed upon breeders in the south. west and middle west to donate fine animals for it. will be here tomorrow for con- ference with the committee. He has been in Chicago and the west the past week. working up interest in the sale. Within the last two or three days he has wired of donations of bulls, formation of clubs, appropriations by packing com ranfes and breeders associations, all with the view of coming to Birmingham to buy bulls. One packing company has set aside 5000 as premium on the grand champion bull MT, Derby informs the committee that he feels certain of ob- taining other sums for that purpose.
 BARNETT TO RETURN
 J. Mercer Barnett vice chairman of the committee, will return from New York during the coming week and the committee is expecting something big from him, He went to New York several days ago to confer with President Hill of the American Tobacco company with regard to his offer to sell the grand champion bull to that company for s150,- coo. Last reports from him were of the most encouraging nature, and until he comes back the committee will be on the qui vive for interesting developments.
 Nothing further has been heard from Senator Bankhead with reference to the request that President Wilson consent to be photographed with the grand cham pion bull on the White House lawn. Pres ident Wilson is known to be deeply in terested in the sale, however and those engineering the move are hopeful that consent will be forthcoming as soon as Alabamas senior senator has the op- portunity of presenting the matter to him.
 LAST CAMP PAIGN WEEK
 This is the last week of the campaign and it will be pushed with all the en- ergy and all the ability possible to com mand. Fred Jones, president Of the ouulHeFH sldttlSInen s aSSOcldllOns 9feSl- dent R. A. Brown of the Alabama State Fair association, and Frank Willis Bar nett of The Age-Herald will make a tour of south and central Alabama this week, speaking and conferring with To- cal Red Cross chapters and committees. Good results are expected from this trip.
 The local committee receives numerous letters of inquiry daily from all over the state and from cities in nearby states. They have been reading about the sale and want to know more about 1t. Nearly every letter brings assurances of par ticipation in the sale.
 The work of enlisting the cooperation of Birmingham women is bringing re suits. A large number of them have agreed to lead bull in the parade on the day before the sale and there is no doubt but when the time comes every bull will have it's woman guide in readiness to pilot it through the streets.
