Attended the French orphan. tene-
fit last week at the East Grand
Plains school house that was given
by the Coterie club of that district,
who have adopted and are supporting
seven little French orphans, and in
teresting letters were read from these
children by the president of the club
to open the exercises of the evening.
Mrs. Roy Parsons and Mrs. r. A.
McConn were in charge OF the pro-
gram, both contributing several beau
tiful vocal solos and duets with Mrs.
McConn at the piano. which were
thoroughly enjoyed by the large au-
dience. This was supported by read
ings, ~pantomime, songs and esthetic
dancing by a number of Mrs. Par
song pupils.
AZ the close Of the program, DR..
" F. Goodse1l gave a most inter-
esting patriotic speech. which was
followed by several little East Grand
Plains girls in conservation dresses,
who passed hats through the big
audience for the offering. Delicious
ice cream and homemade cookies
was served on the lawn following
the exercises. This enjoyable affair
added nearly $50 to the orphan fund,

Clovis Elks Make Good

When the Elks Of the United States
decided to raise a huge fund for
the benefit of the Salvation Army
and its noble work at the front, il
fell to the lot of the Clovis lodp(
to produce $1,000 OF the amount. The
local members went TO work with
might and main, and the commit
tee which had the work in charge
experienced little or no difficulty in
filling the order. Announcement is
now made that the Clovis lodge went

majority of those APPROACHED were

LOU A. BLAKESLEE
DIES SUDDENLY

L. A. Blakeslce, one of Nevada
oldtime residents, to whose energy this
state owes much OF its growth, died
OF pneumonia at noon Tuesday at
his home, 73 Lake Street. Reno. His
death came as a great shock TO rela-
tives and friends, as reports from his
bedside were to the effect that he was
improving and expected out OF danger
in few days lie had been i'll but
ten days.
The death OF Mr.. Blakeslee remveos
one of the best known men in West
ern Nevada, "A man who has been a
resident OF this state since 1875 and
OF Reno for nearly quarter OF a
century. Mr.. Blakeslee was the grand
father OF Miss Elsie Humphreys, OF

that there was enough poison on his
shoe to kill twenty men. He was

GYPSUM COMPANY
CUTS FORCES

The force at the quarry at the Gyp-
sum plant at the Mound House is be-
ing reduced, as the lack of building on
the coast has caused a shortage of
orders. The quarry where nearly
thirty men was employed is being
rur by about half the force.
The mill is working full time but
the quantity OF product is not as
heavy as formerly. Unless building
takes boom this fall along the
coast the mill will probably further
reduce employment

On august 1, tHe supplying OF Wal
industries with common labor will be
centralized in the U. S. Employment
Service OF the department of Labor,
and all independent recruiting of COM
mon labor by manufacturers having
payroll of more than 100 men will be
diverted to the U. S. Employment
Service. This in in accordance with
the decision of the War Labor Pol
icies Board and approved BY the Pres
ident on June II. CThe War Labor
Policies Board is composed of rep
resentatives of the War, Navy and
Agricultural Departments, the Ship
ping Board and the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, the War Industries
Board, and the Food, Fuel, and Rail
road Administrations. Its chairman is
Felix Frankfurter, Assistant to the
Secretary of Labor.
The above action was found neces-
sary to overcome the perilous short
age OF unskilled labor in war indus
tries. This shortage was aggravated
by an almost universal practice of
labor stealing and poaching.
While the restrictions against the
private employment OF labor apply on
ly to common labor at the present
time, these restrictions will, as soon
as possible, be extended to include.
skilled labor. In the meantime, re-
cruiting of skilled labor for war pro-
dnction will be subject to federal reg
ulations now being prepared.
! This drastic change in the Nation
labor program has been found nee
essary in order to protect the employ
er and the employed, to conserve tho
labor supply of the communities and
to cut down unnecessary and expen-
sfve labor turn-over, (Which, in some
cases, is as high as. 100 per cent
week. and to increase the production
of essentials.
While non-essential industries will
be drawn upon to supply the neces-
sary labor. for war work, the with
drawal will be conducted on an equit-
able basis i'll order sto protect the in
dividual employer as much as possible.
Under the operating methods adopt
ed, the country has been divided into
thirteen federal districts, each district
in charge of superintendent of the
U. S. Employment Service. The
States within each district are in turn
in charge of State Director, who has
full control OF the service within his
State.
In each community there is being
formed local community labor board
consisting of representative of the
u. S. Employment Service, repre-
sentative of employers and repre-
sentative OF the unemployed. This
board will have jurisdiction over re-
cruiting and distributing labor in its
locality.
A survey of the labor requirements
is being made, and in order that each
community may be fully protected,
rulings have been issued that no labor
shall be transported out OF any COM
munity by the U. S. Employment
Service without the approval of the
State Director; nor shall any labor
be removed by the Service from one
state to another without the approval
of the Unemployment Service at
Washington. Every effort will be
made to discourage any movements

U. S. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
The Times Is In Receipt Of the Following
Letter From Employment Director

from community to community or
state to state by any other serviie.
This labor program has the approv-
al of all producing Departments of
the Government, through the War
Labor Policies Board.
1t must be understood that farm
labor will be protected, for the indus
trial program distinctly includes spec
ial efforts to keep the farmer<supplied
with labor
The requirement that unskilled la
Dor must be recruited through the
sole agency of the u. S. Employment
Service does not at present apply in
'the following five uses: /,
1. Labor which is not directly or
indirectly solicited.
2. Labor for the railroads.
3. Farm labor to be recruited in
waccordance with existing arrange
ment with the Department OF Agri-
culture.
4. Labor for non-war work.
5. Labor for establishments whose
maximum force does not exceed one
hundred -. :.
When the surveyor labor require
ments has been made and the aggre-
gate demand for unskilled labor in
war work is found each State will be
assigned quota representing the com
mon labor to be drawn from among
men engaged in .non-essential indus
tries in that State. :
These State quotas will in turn be
distributed in localities Within each
locality employers in nonwar work,
including those who are only partially
in war work, will be asked to distrib-
ute the local quotas from time to time
amongst themselves. Quotas by To-
calities and individuals are to be ac-
cepted as readily as they are for Lib
erty Loan and Red Cross campaigns.
This plan of labor quotas is protec
ton for all communities
The object is to keep any communi-
| ty from being drained of labor, and
to use local supply as far as possible,
for local demand The situation,
IlOWCNCl, 10 Sul1i mat III vi tuiii N"oSa
some men may have to be transport
ed over long distances.
You will note from the above that
this is probably the most drastic ac-
ton that the Government has taken
sin ctithgput icnosenshrdlu shrldu
since putting the National, Army draft
into effect. The absolute necessity
for this program can be seen when it
is realized that in Pittsburgh, for in
stance, there are advertisements CALI
ing for men to go to Detroit; while
in Detroit street cars there are post
ers asking men to go TO Pittsburgh.
This same condition is apparent all
over the United States and in the con-
sequent shifting of labor great part
of our war effort is dissipated.
Because it is only through the press
OF the Nation that this matter can be
fully presented to the people, we are
asking that you lay this matter fully
and frankly before your readers. show
ing them that this action is taken as
a war measure in order to protect not
only employers and the employed, but
communities as well.
Yours respectfully,
]. B. Densmore,
Director General
