Almost 100000
Unskilled Laborers
Needed Immediately

Almost 100000 unskilled laborers
are needed Immediately by the con
struction division Of the army for
work on environments, hospitals,
proving grounds, flying fields and
other military requirements. OF
the number 10000 are required I'M
mediately by ordnance contractors
for the completion OF munitiou
plants, and more than $1,000 are
needed by the Bureau OF Docks and
Yards OF the Navy Department, lor

This is a summary OF the scri.
Gus situation that is facing the En-
ployment Service and the nation al
a moment when General Per,hing
is calling on America for unstinted
support in the most crucial moment
since America entered the war.
Every state in the union must play
its part in finding 10000 men.
They can only be found through

pIoyment. To meet the emergency
Community Labor Boards must eX-
pedite the combing of non-essen-
tlal lines and the replacing OF men
by women in all occupations in
which the latter should engage. The
requirements are so great that the
employment service in every state

them. The Council of National De
tense, alive to the emergency, has
instructed all its state and county
councils to get behind the employ
ment service in meeting the prob
lem. These demands for 10000
men must be met. They can only
be met by cooperation and sacri-
lire.

MischieVOus Boys
Are Endangering Life

Manager w. NJ hamilton of the
Willamette valley division of the P.
r. L. & P. company, states that lives
and property are being endangered
along the high power transmission line
between Salem and Mount Angel by
the careless or mischievous breaking
of insulators along the line. The wires
carry $1,000 volts of electricity, 500
OF which will kill a person. Mr.. Hanil-
ton says that large number of insul-
ators have recently been broken by
being shot at with rifles or struck by
stones thrown by school children go
ing along the road. frequently when
the insulators are broken it will cause
a short Circuit, burning the wire in
two and allowing the ends to drop to
the ground. Should children or live
stock come in contact with these live
wires it would mean instant death.
Mr.. Hamilton states that recently 16
insulators were put on in one day. Let
tiers have been mailed to residents
along the line urging them to take the
matter up with their children.

Judge and Prosecutor
Clash Over Death Penalty

San Francisco, Feb. 13.-Superior
Judge Cabaniss clasbed with District
Attorney Fickert when the second trial
of Israel Weinberg, charged with com
plicity in the preparedness day parade
bomb explosion opened in Judge Cab
aniss court today.
The judge ordered Fickert into the
courtroom. He declared that word had
reached him that Fickert didn It want
Judge Cabaniss opposes the death
penalty.
Fickert was summoned and sat sill
emily while Louis Ferrairi, assistant
district attorney, fought vainly for a
lengthy continuance of the trial. After
the Judge had put the case over to
next Monday that subjoenas may be
served, he turned to FTckert:
"I am opposed to capital punish
ment in some cases but not in all, " the
judge remarked. "Have you any com
ment to makeg"
"Nothing that l haven t already
said," Fiekert replied
During the morning two other fea-
lures developed:
Frank C. Oxman may be brought as
witness at the second Weinberg trial,
and j. M. Crowley, witness in the
Billings case, may never again give
testimony in an earthly court.
"Word we have received indicates
that Crowley was lost on the Tus-
cania," Ferrari announced.
Intimation that Oxman may again be
produced was given when Attorney
Maxwell McNutt said:
"We will agree to have his, or any
other testimony read into the record
that is all except Oxman."
Ferrari demanded to know why Or
man was excepted.
"You Rad chance to bring him in
at Weuberg's Is first trial and you
didn It do it. ] don't know what you ID
want him for now, said McNutt.
''That Is no indication we will never
use him again." Ferrari retorted.
The judge denied a continuance un-
til after the supreme court acts on the
case of Thomas Mooney. He insisted
that Weinberg be tried at once and
set Monday for the time.
