FISHERIES TO BE RECEIVED
FOR ITALIAN FOOD SUPPLY

Rome, July 31.-Minister Ciuffelli
has sent back to the. Odriatic and Ion
ian sea coasts the delegation which
inspected them last year to repair
the damages suffered by the fishing
boats that were crippled from the be-
ginning of the war until now. Among
them is Signor Virgilio Frati, inspec-
tor of the fish hatcheries of Milan.
The delegates, besides examining
the condition of the boats and adjust
ing subsidies for those who will make
repairs, are directed also by the min
lister of industries to assist the indus
frial society of fisheries and trans
portation in fitting out the 400 best
tWo-masters for the use of 1000 fish,
ermen in the Tyrrhenian sea.
The Industrial society will under
take to supply dealers until market
sta lis can be provided. The minister
of transportation will provide refrig-
Grating cars to carry the fish to every
important center of italy.

One, Of the strangest Incidents of
recruiting in Bemidji since the war
started was that today, resultant
from the fame Of Bemidji spreading
throughout the country aa g premier
recruiting center and one of the most
patriotic of the nation.
b., He was a splendid young fellow,
who walked into Sergeant Foucalt's
office and gave his name as Raymond
Bowersock and his address as Fort
Scott, Kan. He was full-fedged
pharmacist and had decided to enlist,
his age being IS years, just outside
the charmed draft circle. He inform
ed Sergeant Foucault that he had
heard3much about Bemidji and it's re-
cruiting and that he decided to- come
up here and would consider IL an Iron
or to aveienlisted from this point y
l., ,, Bowersock had not the slightest
.dofficulty in passing all tests and at
noon entrained for Jefferson bar

DRASTIC STEPS TAKEN
BY WAR LABOR BOARD;
G .EoUA WORKERS

r Mayor Vandersluis has received a
letter from the department of labor
Of the government directing his at
tention to the plans Of the u. s..
Employment service. .o ~. - &.r..s,s 4 ~
On August /, the supplying of war
industries with common labor will be
centralized and all manufacturers
having a payroll Of more than 100
men will be diverted to the U. s..
employment service, in accordance
with the decision of the war labor
board and approved by the president
June - The object in this is to
overcome. the shortage Of unskilled
labor in war industries, caused by a
universal practice Of poaching and
labor stealing by other industries. "
When the survey Of labor REQUIRE
ments has been made and the de-
mand for war work labor is found,
each state will ,ibe assigned quota
representing common labor to be
drawn from among men engaged in
non- essential industries of that state,
In turn, these quotas will be distrib=
|uted. among localities. t,stf5I,,-s, ~ .
/, The object is to keep localities
from being drained of labor and to
use the local supply as far, as posi-
sbfeS 2for local demand. Certain in
stances however, will call for men to
Pbe transported distances.
1t is one of the most drastic gov
ernment orders since, the draft law
and is designed to remedy such in
stances wherein Pittsburg posters are
asking men to go to Detroit while in
the latter city posters ask men to go
to Pittsburg.
The mayor is asked to. give this
publicity and the Pioneer is pleased
to cooperate. ! ".z',
