COMBINATION
WILL PREVENT
ICE SHORTAGE
Hot Wave and Labor Scarcity
Over-Tax Capacity of Lo-
cal Ice Plants.
FOOD DIRECTOR
ISSUES WARNING
Hopes to Avoid Restrictions Nee
essary in Other South
ern Cities. -


People of Pensacola and Escarnta
county are called upon, through Food
Administrators C. s, Bonacker. to aid
in the conservation program OF the
government by being as economical as
possible in their use OF ice during the
present period of extremely hot wea-
ther.
Mr.. Bonacker said yesterday after
noon:
Serious ice shortage can be avoided
and all ice necessary can be furnished.
according TO the local manufacturers,
provided that all householders and
commercial firms using ice be as eco
nomical as possible in its use.
The present extreme hot wave and
the fact that the increased population
has over-taxed the capacity or local ice

that each person do his part in con-
serving the supply, by being as saving
as possible in every way.
There is no ice shortage in Pensa-
cola now.
"A shortage does exist, however, in
Birmingham, Atlanta. Montgomery, and
Nashville. In some OF these cities it
has been necessary for the federal adj
ministration 20 enforce restrictions
governing the use of ice. II restrictions
should be made necessary in Pensacola
the non-essentiai lines would be the
first affected, as there are certain es-
sential lines that have TO be taken
care Of"
1t is believed by Mr. Bonacler, and
others who have looked into this mat
ter, that it will not be necessary To
use any such rigid orders in Pensacola,
as have been enforced in other cities.

part in the conservation OF ice and in
this way make IL possible for all to be

1t was stated last night by those in

WOMEN ARE TO
REPLACE MEN
In MANY LINES
STATE DIRECTOR PLANNING TO
INCREASE FLORIDA'S MAN-PO-
WEIR BY USING WOMEN WHER-
EVER POSSIBLE

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 1S.-Florida
is about TO see a great change in many
of its mercantile establishments, as
well as in the stands. From now on
the government, expects every man 80
do his duty in the war work. and does
not expect any man of military ge TO
hold a position which a woman can
hold, during the duration of the war.
For this reason, Robert Gamble, FTori-
da director, L. S. public service re-
serve, is notifying the various people
throughout the state, such as office
building agents, department stores
managers and heads Of other large in,
stitutions. to replace their labor
as quickly as possible with woman
labor. Elevators in the large office
buildings of several cities are now be-
ing manned by girls.
The call for labor is so great that
the state advisory labor board, repre-
senting the U. S. department of labor,
is about to issue an order making it
necessary for every restaurant and ho-
tel to release their r-an-labor, and for
every public chauffeur, yard-man, but
Ter, and men in this class of work to
Immediately secure positions in war
work.
Mr.. Gamble, in discussing the situa-
tion, states that the new draft law will
be in effect within a very few weeks
anyway, and that the business men
should prepare right now for the
change that is coming. The govern
ment quota of unskilled labor, which
will be taken from this state during
the months of August and September
was estimated at 2,520. but a wire just
received by Mr.. Gamble increases the
number.
Mr.. Gamble says: "The Work or
Fight order is being enforced and citi-
zens who know of able-bodied men who
are not working, between the ages of
Is and 55. will confer a favor not only
TO their city. their state, but their
government. by reporting the names
of these parties''

Accused Said to Be Soliciting
Labor for Government
Contractors.

Another chapter in the long drawn
out dispute as to whether labor agents
recruiting men for government work
are required to abide by the laws of
Florida was enacted yesterday, when
w p. Moran, OF Birmingham, was ar
rested by Sheriff Van Pelt.
Mr.. Moran has been in Pensacola for
several days, securing labor for the
Alabama Power Co, which is engaged
upon government work at Nrussel
Shoals, Ala. He is said to have Gre
dentials from the ordnance division of
the war department and it is stated
that his work has the approval of the
local office of the United States en-
ployment service.
However, when his activities were
brought to the attention of the sheriff S
Office he was placed under arrest for
violation of the state statute which
requires all labor agents to secure Ii
censes and prohibits the recruiting of
labor for work out of the state.
United States District Attorney
Neeley was called into the case and
he stated that the arrest of Moran was
not justified as he is unquestionably
working for and under authority of
the government.
Sheriff Van Pelt consulted with his
attorney, Kirke Monroe. and Moran
was held in $500 bond, which he
furnished. He will be given a hear
ing before Justice or the Peace Will
l.. Johnson this morning.

FORD WON AND LOST.
Secured Democratic Nomination But Lost
Republican.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 2S.--Henry Ford,
Detroit automobile manufacturer, and
choice OF President Wilson for the Sliehi-
gan senatorial nomination, was to-day,
on the face of returns from more than
half the state, both winner and loser in
Tuesdays statewide primaries.
Truman T. Newbury Of Detroit, com
mander in the third U. S. naval district
and former secretary Of the navy, has
won the Republican nomination for
United States senator by vite which
complete returns indicated may equal
the total number of votes polled by both
Ford and former Governor Chase S. 0s-
born. Only a light vote was cast for
William G. Simpson Of Detroit, the other
Republican candidate.
In the Democratic balloting, however,
the Detroit manufacturer who was a
candidate on both party tickets, won an
easy race from his lone opponent, James
w. Helme, figures this morning being
two to one IN favor Of his candidacy.
Returns from 1919 precincts of the
state this morning showed Newberry,
59,707; Ford, 25,l44; Osborn, 24,325,
There are ,O97 precincts still to be heard
from.
Unofficial and incomplete returns show
that Newberry probably has carried IS
of Michigan's eighty.three counties, Os-
born four and Ford one county.
