FIRST LABOR SHIFT

Aluminium Mills in Northern
N. Y. Need Laborers.

Charles Il. Barnes. State Superinten'
dent OF the Federal Employment Bureau
announced yesterday that the first move
ment OF city labor to other parts Of the
state will begin this week.
Immediate need for upskilled work
men is reported in northern New York,
where the aluminium mills are unusually
short handed. This IL Government work
for the production ~ munitions, the
aluminium being used in the cap that in
closes the fulminator. The heat OF the
blast furnaces In the reduction process
has operated against building up the
labor supply at these plants.
Mr.. Barnes says he expects the great
est problem confronting the bureau Will
be the difficulty of persuadlng the native
New Yorker to accept Jobs located some
distance from the city. II employment
can be had at such n distance that the
worker can return to the city every night
or every Saturday he Is content. Mr..
Barnes said. To send him further away
where 1t means half a day or a night
to get back to his old haunts Is not to
his liking.
No list of non-essential industries has
been furnished so far as the State Is con-
cerned. The rules of the Federal Gov
eminent will be used as guides. The
employment Of women Is not being con-
sidered at present to any extent. but will

WIS. s. SALE RECORD
MADE BY statesmen
Limit Club DispOses Of ST.
100000 Worth in Final
Day Of Campaign.

Frederic w. Allen, War Savings
Director for Greater. New York. said
last night that great results had been
achieved in the salesmen's War Saw.
ings drive for $25.000.ooo. which ended
yesterday.
In complimenting the statesmen. men,
bers Of eleven organizations composing
the National Council of Travelling
Statesmen, on their wonderful spirit OF
patriotism and remarkable energy. Mr..
Allen said:
ION account OF the delay in returns
1t will be impossible to estimate the
exact returns in dollars and cents for
ten days or two weeks, but whatever
the financial result Ia the drive has &C
complished its purpose In bringing into
the campaign thousands of people who
heretofore had not bought the stamps
or received the message which the Gov
eminent has embodied in this campaign
namely, that every individual should
entrust his surplus money to the Gov
eminent until after the war. so that he
shall not compete with the Government
for materials and labor
In their final squirt to obtain members
in the Limit Club the statesmen spent
the day on the trail Of men of means.
Before dark over 900 limit purchasers
had been registered, showing a sale OF
nearly 100000 in stamps from this
source alone The campaign managers
felt reasonably certain the total receipts
OF the day would add over twice that
figure to the salesmen's credit for the
week.
When the drive started New York had
raised only one-quarter Of its quota OF
500, 100000 for 1918. although the
stamps had been on sale for eight
mouths. Reckoning New York's allot-
ment as one twentieth Of the nations
she was then S., 900, 900 short of where
she should have been.
The sales were helped yesterday by
the fact that the price OF SIS worth of
stamps will advance from $4.1s to $40
after to-day.
Thus far redemptions of War Savings
Certificates in New York amount TO
$S25,260, or a little more than } per
cent of the total sales. Director Allen
issued a warning against too hasty
use OF the redemption privilege, saying
the money invested in stamps repre-
scented loan to Uncle Sam on which the
Treasury Department depends in finan-
cling the war. He added that no loyal
American would call in his loan as long
as the war lasted except in cases of the
greatest emergency.
viii Il. tombstone. cartoonist, drew
pictures of every purchaser of $50 worth
OF stamps at the last salesmen's rally in
