tried to land Bradley Hogg, the Los

gartner and Weisel have been with
the Phillies the past several seasons

do without them. Baumgartner may
be grabbed bv another National

LADY CONDUCTORS
ARE A POSSIBILITY

ATLANTA, Ca, April 27.-1f labor
conditions continue as they are at
present, public utilities in
Georgia cities may be forced to en-
ploy women as conductors and motor
men of street cars, unless they are al
lowed to increase car fares,
That this is no idle speculation but
an actual probality is borne out by
the experience of the street railroad
company in Atlanta and other cities
In spite Of increases in wages to meet
the high cost of living, and to compete
with the wage scale paid on govern
ment construction work, the COM
panies are finding it almost impossible
to secure enough men to run their
cars. The company here cannot main
tain it's schedules on several lines be-
cause of the shortage of men. The
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1918-04-28

railroad commission is aware of the
fact, but it has not forced the COM
pany to maintain the schedules be-
cause it knows the extremely difficult
conditions under which the company
is operating.
Recently the public service COM
mission of the state of Washington de-
clined to allow the Seattle street fail
road to put women on its cars, de-
claring that "the highest attribute of.
woman is motherhood. and this in its
fullness includes health. If neces-
sary to the preservation of these
things we do not believe anyone would
question the propriety of granting
siificient income by the Increase of
rates to make it possible for the
(Seattle) company to hire proper,
help"
A number al Companies are now Pc
titioning the Georgia commission for
increased rates, and it is not unlikely
that the interesting question as to-
whether women should operate street
cars will be decided in this state.

RED CROSS NEWS

In spite of the fact that the Red
Cross has received great many appli-
cations lately from people who wish

rlaces open for canteen workers and

rector of the Southern division, bureau
of personnel, has issued the following

graphic services. Applicants for can
teen service should be between rs and
IS years of age, robust in health, will
ing to volunteer their services and pay
all their expenses, If possible. They
will have to sign contract for term

or a twelve months service, if their
expenses are paid by the Red Cross.
Applicants should understand that
they will have hard and continuous
physical labor under uncomfortable
conditions. They should have good
temper and discretion and be self-re-
liant. A knowledge of French is de-
sirable for this service.

pose Is essential in both services.

SAMMY NEEDED
IN STATE NOW
Local Labor Supply Sufficient to
Meet Needs of Farmers
for Present
MAY CALL ON ARMY LATER
Reserve Being Organized Which
Will Take in Every Town
and Village

Every demand made to date upon
this office for farm help has been
promptly met" announced John B.
Brown, U. S. farm help specialist
for North Dakota, today. "Men have
been supplied without delay through
the Bismarck and Fargo offices, and
no shortage of farm labor now is ap-
parent. l.- 49, ~,.g
q have written county agents urg-
ing them to discourage any effort to
procure the assistance of furloughed
farmers at this time. We have a
sufficient reserve supply Of labor in
our cities for the present, and were
we to ask for help from the army
now, it might jeopardize our chances
of getting assistance later on, when
real emergency may exist. .s !.
IF the time comes when such need
is apparent, this office will cooperate
with the county agents in procuring
the furlough of all the men our farm
ers need, and / know we will have ev-
cry possible assistance from the war
department. We have already out
lined plan for the organization OF
a farm labor reserve in the towns and
villages of the state, working through
the North Dakota Council of Defense.
A chairman for the farm labor reserve
will be named in each county, and he
will name chairman in every town,
whose duty it will be to organize re-
serve labor force and to report to the
county chairman the number of men
available and how many hours work
may be expected from each man: We
expect to have the cooperation of the
bankers in this good work. They can
render effective service, and they al
ready have expressed their sympathy
with the, movement. Pledge cards
will be placed in the hands of the
city labor reserve chairman as soon
as possible, and each man who signs
up will receive a farm labor reserve
badge to identify him as helper"
