CLASSIFY
WORKERS
MONTHLY
Surveys to Begin Immc diately by
Community Lobar Board; EN-
ployment Service Starts
Labor Census.

That workers in various industries
are to be classified monthly by the
community board is the information
contained in a bulletin received at
the local office today from the Unit
ed States employment service of
the department of labor. The order
contained in the bulletin is as fol
lows:
Orders calling on the community
labor boards to make regular month
ly surveys of the labor employed in
certain specified industries will be
sent to the federal directors for the
states this week
These surveys, which we're fore
told in the Employment Service Bull
letin of September ~ are being un-
dertaken at the request of the War
Industries Board, for the use of that
board and Of the various branches
of the Department Of Labor.
They will provide numerical
classification of employees in speci-
fled industries, covering the field OF
production i'll which the War Indus
tries Board and the Department of
Labor are most interested at the
present time These industries in
clude those on the preference list
issued by the priorities division OF
the War Industries Board on Sep
tember 3, excepting few specified
cases in which the information re-
quired is,rcoming in direct from gov
ernment sources. A few types OF
industries not on the preference list,
concerning which the War Industries
Board desires additional information
are also included.
Scope Not Limited.
The present list Of industries will
be extended from time to time.
Community Labor Boards desiring
to. extend their survey from the out
set over industries not covered in
the required list are urged to do SO,
subject to the direction OF their fed
eral director.
The list of industries for which a
complete survey must be made by all
Community Labor Boards is printed
in this issue Of the Bulletin, as is
the form to be used in making the
survey. From a study of this form
it will be seen that the monthly re-
turns will give the employment ser
vice accurate figures as to the num-
Der Of women replacing men in in
dustry, the number Of common la
borers employed in all industries
covered by the survey, and other IN
formation of great value to the EN-
ployment service in the conduct of
its work. The wider the scope
which the individual community la
Dor boards give to their individuai
surveys the more complete will be
the information placed at the dis
posal of the employment service. |
1t is emphasized that the requested
list is only the minimum required by
the War Industries Board at this
time.
The date of issuance of these in
structions is so late that it can not
be expected that full returns as OF
the 1st of October can be secured
early in the month. They should
be secured, however. as early as pos
sible. In subsequent months all re-
turns should be in by the end of the
first week of the month The re-
sponsibility will rest upon the Com
munity Labor Boards to see that this
work is done promptly.

All objectives in Grady County
Loan Drive Attained; Work
ers Still Pushing Drive;
Now "Mopping Up
TO CALL SLACKERS
BEFORE COMMITTEE
Must Tell Why Have not Bought
Bonds Equal to Means; Bright
Spots in Drive; Chairman
Makes Appeal.

Speaking in the terms of the battle
front, the Fourth Liberty loan cam
paigners in Grady county have reach
ed all detectives, have the positions
well consolidated and are now en-
gagged in "mopping up" the captured
territory.
That is, the Grady county quota
has been raised, headquarters is
making a canvass of the returns by
the advisory committee is receiving
reports on those who have failed to
purchase bonds in accordance with
the estimates made by the commit
tee The "mopping up" process will
not start in earnest until next week,
according to the statement of f. L.
Siusher, county chaiarmn, today. Be
ginning Monday the advisory com
mittee win investigate various cases
over the county, where the individ-
ual quota cards show that no bonds
have been purchased, or where the
quota assignd has not been fully
met.
"Slaackcrs Beware"
County Chairman Slusher issued
the warning this morning, "Slackers
beware" in intimating that several
in the county were to be brought up
on the carpet for having failed to
purchase bonds in accordance with |
their means These cases will be |
taken up first by the advisory COM
mittee and if full satisfaction is not
forthcoming through this means, the
case will be appealed" to the coun-
cil--of defense for final action
The totals for the various town
ships in the county are being com
piled as rapidly as possible and will
be ready to announce in the near flu
ture, possibly tomorrow, Mr. Slush-
er states. I'VE are going to show
the quota assigned to each township
and the amount subscribed so that
everyone may know just what the
various communities in Grady coun-
ty did in the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign" said Mr. Slusher,
Appeals to Patriotism.
Regardless Of quotas, it is the
duty of every patriotic American to
go on buying bonds continued Mr..
Slusher The ultimate total in this
drive that Grady county rolls up,
will be our answer to Grady county
boys as to how we are supporting
our fighters. We don't want them
to come back with the knowledge
that we failed in going our full limit
to furnish them with money for fight
ing equipment. The fellow who can
buy more and don't may have hard
time explaining that fact to the boys
after we have won the war"
That there are some bright spots
in the campaign are shown by the
reports received. In nearly every
community the workers report the
class of citizens who call on their
committeeman and say, We'll, what
am l down for this timer" writing
check for the amount named by the ,
committeeman, without further com
-ment. These, it is pointed out, are
in sharp contrast with the few who
cases several hundred acres, pur-
chase paltry hundred dollar bond
although owning much land, in some
or so.
