For perhaps the first time in the
history of the county there is big
shortage in unskilled labor. The
United States Employment service
has requests for a million of men for
common labor in the war industries.
The board will go into nonessential
industries and transfer vast num-
Der of laborers to more essential en-
ployment 1--WE will have to be ruth
less in dealing with this matter"
declared j. B. Densmore, Director
General of the United States EN-
ployment Service. Only farmers,
miners, railroad workers and labor
ers in war industries, are exempted
from the labor draft to be made at
once. Many business enterprises, not
essential to winning the war, will be
closed, and the laborers sent where
most needed. The order is drastic
but necessary.

UTMOST TO WIN WAR
Republicans Adopt Strong
Resolutions In State
Meeting.

Members of the Republican State
central COMMITTEE, and other Re
publicans of Kentucky, in conference
in Louisville, Friday August 10th,
1918, assembled primarily to discuss
subjects relating to the approaching
November election, desire at this time
TO give voice to their conviction that
while the higest interest of the ma
ton demands that we maintain our
party organizations and participate
periodically in all elections, the
first duty of Americans today is to
win the war, consecrating to this
cause their energies and their re-
sources, without stint, and without
regard to the nature Of the sacrifices
required, and we here and now
pledge anew to the President of the
United States and those associated
with him our undivided allegiance
and aid.
We commend most heartily the pa
triotic service rendered by the Re-
publican Senators and Representa-
tives in the National Congress. Their
support of the great war measures
has been a source of extraordinary
strength for the President and the
government and of great moral value
to the country at large. We call up
on the Republicans of Kentucky, and
upon all citizens, regardless of par
ty lines, to elect as their representa-
tive in the national councils men
whose loyalty cannot successfully be
assailed.
We are further of opinion that in
urging the election of the Republican
nominees this fall we are serving the
best interests of the country. Their
high character, ability and patriotism
fairly entitle them to the confidence
of the people. The history of the
Republican party in the nation, es-
peciaily during periods of extraordi-
nary peril, is a record of achieve
ments which give evidence of the loft
lest patriotism and the highest quail
tiles of craftsmanship"
