(The State,
The War Industries Board will
issue at once the most drastic regn-
iatiOns ever promulgated in this
country compelling male citizens of
the United States engaged in non
essential occupations to go into es-
sential employment or fight, accord
ing to ruling from Washington e.
ceived by the State Council Of LG-
Tense. These regulations are being
compiled and will be mailed to local
labor boards in the next few days.
Because Of present million and
half labor shortage, both skilled
and unskilled, in war industries with
an increased army coming" said the
statement to the State Council Of De-
Tense, Nathan A. Smyth, assistant
director Of the General United
States Employment Service, Is to-day
mailing the most drastic instructions
ever issued in this country to all
community labor boards instructing
them to prepare and publish in
every city Of the country lists Of non
essential positions now being held by
men that could be filed by women.
The result will be that men failing
or refusing to get out Of such posi-
tions on their own accord and take
up essential work will be looked
upon as slackers. The order Is in
tended to force the hand Of both non
essential labor and employers
thereof.
"The lists probably will include
clerks and Office help, ticket sellers
Of all kinds. attendants and similar
occupations. This Is in line with
Provost Marshal General Crowder's
work or fight order, with instruc-
tions already issued for the placing
Of women in industries, with the or

stopping unnecessary construction
with actions limiting bank loans and
the taking Of raw materials from
non-essential. industries.
'FMr. Smythe's order may ultimate
ly become tho most drastic Of all;

| sist that no man shall occupy a po-
sition which woman can fill. This
nation must work or fight, and tho

ploysrs Of non"essential labor have,
In many cases, failed to meet the
issue squarely."

Nezg Telephone
Ruling Not Yet
Received Here

Fargo officials of the Northwestern
Telephone company have not yet been
advised that the cost Of installing or
changing telephones must be born by
the subscriber, according to William
A. Albright, commercial manager in
Fargo.
The new ruling OF Postmaster Gen.
eral Burleson as director general Of
the telegraph and telephone service is
already in operation in Minneapolis
and ST. Paul.
The ruling is made" said Mr.. AL
bright today, lin order that the spe-
cial expense in telephone service may
be borne by the person responsible
for it. On every telephone subscrip-
ton list there is found a number Of
people who move their residence or
have the telephone moved several
times a year. By the old system, this
cost was distributed over the entire
service. By the ruling Of the direc-
tor general, the extra cost will fall on
the individual responsible for the ex-
ira expense. By the order now in ef-
feet in Minneapolis the initial cost of
installing a telephone will also be
charged to the subscriber. If the mi
tial cost happens to amount to $50
and the rental for the year is only S24,
it is easily seen that that particular
telephone service, will not be provided
at profit. It is to avoid such un-
profitable business, undoubtedly, that
the government has established the
new ruling.

Americans including all Offices ex-
cept Consul General Pole, all the
personnel Of the Y. NJ. c. A. and Y.
w. c. A. representatives of the
American bank and number Of
private citizens left Moscow for
Petrograd on a special train the
evening of August 26. American in
terest previously had been turned
over to the Swedish consulate.
With the Americans were the
Italian military mission, a party OF
II persons. This news, transmitted
today through the Swedish govern
ment, did not confirm recent re-
ports from German sources that the
last of the entente representatives
had left Moscow and it Is thought
here that the British and French
consular officers probably still are
detained.
In belated dispatches received to-
day from Mr.. Poole himself, the last
dated August 26. the consul general
reiterated his intention of remain
ing in Moscow to give moral sup
port to his British and French col
leagues, held by the Bolshevik gov
eminent.
The Swedish government advised
that passports of the Americans and
others who had left Moscow had
been Vissed to leave Russia and
that permission from the FINISH gov
eminent to pass through Finland
would be awaited in Petrograd. This
permission already has been author
