SECRETARY. WILSON
GIVES REASON FOR
LABOR MOBILIZATION

Secretary of LABOR Wilson makes
this explanation of the general nc
Utilization of labor for war industries,
recruiting for which is TO begin Au-
gust ] under direction of the Uni-'l
States Employment Service:
Beginning with common labor,
the service will gradually take n''ce
of the mobilizing and placing of all
labor for the war industries employ
ing 100 or more workers. This will
profoundly affect all other industries
and all other workers. 1t will cor
rect the abuses and the troubles
growing out of the large labor turn
over with the consequent disruption
of regular work.
Every safeguard must be taken to
protect the standard of living and
the morale of the wage earners. Es-
pecially must great care be taken TO
keep the age limit of those who en-
ter industry at high level. lest we
rob our future citizenship of its right
to growth and time for education. We
must also take knowledge of the dan
gers attendant upon the large en-
trance of women into heavy and haz-
ardous industries.
1.-The exigencies of war times
should not be made the occasion fol

ards of hours. wages, and condition:

RUSSIA HAS CORNER ON
WORLD PLATINUM SUPPLY

The needs of platinum In war in
dustries and in the sciences are ex-
planned by Dr. Charles l.. Parsons.
chief chemist, Bureau OF Mines. De-
partment of the Interior. in an argu-
ment for discontinuance of the use
of platinum in jewelry.
The war can not De won without
platinum" says DR.. Parsons, "and 1t
is equally essential in times of peace
If our country is to excel Germany in
the development of chemical science
and industry. With the aid OF plat
mum from one ordinary wedding ring
about 100 pounds of nitric acid can
be made every "a hours. This 100
pounds of nitric acid converted into
high explosives will send number
of 3-inch shells against the Germans
and help to bring the boys back
home.
platinum rings, pins. cigarette
cases and mesh bays are not factors
In winning this war-explosiyes are.
| wonder If the purchasers and wear
ers OF platinum jewelry know that
explosives can Lot be manufactured
without the use of sulphuric and nit
ric acids; that the manufacture OF
these acids requires the use of sup
plies of platinum that airplanes
must have platinum for important
instruments they need; that platinum
is absolutely necessary in the manu-
facture of promoters; that pyromet-
ers are necessary In all steel treat
ments: and that no guns can be made
without the use of promoters.
There is a shortage IN the supply
of platinum. Russia has corner or
the worlds supply. and Germany ]:
In Russia. Our domestic production
of platinum is negligible, while oul
military requirements are increasing
at rapid rate"

ALL HELP TO PRODUCE FOOD

Speaking OF food-how much of
what you eat do you help to produce
by your own work? Farms need la
Dor. The difficulty is not an .nsuf-
ficiency of actual man power. There
are plenty of men to supply the farms
with help. But that man power is
applied to other things, and the
farms will not be ,.dcquately supplied
with help unless men turn tempor-
arily from their present business or
employment and VIC TX on farms in
their county during the rush periods
of cultivation and harvest.
If we were not at war you might
feel free to disregard this as your
personal duty. But we are at waf;
this is a war need. and you are not
free to disregard it.
IL is the duty of every man ol
farm experience or of farm aptitude
who is not now engaged in work te
which his personal attention is Goa
stantly indispensable, 10 20 W i"i MS
in the agricultural. territory adjacen
to his home town when farm labo
needs are urgent, and help produce
the food crops which are essential t'
war winning.
You eat every day. Some man
hard work produced that food. on
soldiers in France must eat am
somebody's hard work produces ina
food. II you are so situated that yo
can help produce this food II Is you
duty to do so.
Lay off of your Job and get ava
from your present business Tor ie'
: days or a few weeks as you are neee
ed. You'll lose money and weigh
You'll gain blisters,. sore muscles an
i a clear conscience.
