GOING AT IT THE RIGHT WAY

Chatham county has taken hold of
the road building problem in SEN
slble manner by deciding to vote up
OH issuing $1,000 600 in bonds for
building three permanent main high
ways through the county, and saving
the present cost OF their upkeep
In recommending this action. the
county commissioners stated to the
people that laying permanent roads
on these highways will save the sum
OF $4,000 yearly, which is being paid
out now for keeping them in condition
and securing fairly good road only
at best. Their plan is to sell the
bonds, take the money and have the
roads built by contract. The county
cannot build them with convict labor,
and the quickest, cheapest, most sat
lstactory plan is to let the contract
tor them just as street paving is done.
hat is their recommendation.
If the people of Chatham county
vote this bond issue they will have as
result roads which they will feel
repay them every cent of the cost.
A permanent road, which needs no
upkeep, no patching or repairing is a
thing to be greatly desired 1t would
mean the best class of road, road
worth putting good money into. and
one not subject to weather conditions
1t is the most sensible plan yet adj
vocatcd to build real roads. the kind
! we have not yet had here, and if the
bonds are voted, and the project put
through we expect to see some other
counties in the state follow the same
plan. 1t could be followed very pro-

D CEASE hiring
At PLANT GATES
Wilmington Industries Will
Employ Men Through
y. S. Labor Bureau.
OBJECT IS TO STOP
LABOR TURNOVER

More than three hundred representa-
tives OF Delaware industrial establish
mopts, meeting In Eden Hall last night.
upon invitation of the Community
Labor Board and the directors OF the
United. States Employment Service and
the Public Service Reserve, decided that
for a period OF sixty days, beginning at
such time as may be designated by the
Community Board, every industrial es-
tahlishment in this district shall cease
hiring at the gate, but shall secure all
skilled and unskilled labor only through
the United States Employment Service.
This is by far the most drastic move
ment taken in any state in the union
for the alleviaton OF the labor turn
over, and was decided upon only after
thorough discussion. Many OF those
present were not slow in expressing
their doubts as 20 the advisability OF
the movement. but after hearing the
plans OF the Community Labor Board,
it Will be noted that not single vote
was recorded against the plan. As was
explained by District Superintendent
John G. Saylor, the vote was only In
tho way OF a suggestion. The matter
must now go before the director gen.
eral Of the United States Employment
Service for his approval, before the
Gommunity Board has power TO act. As
70 the approval of the director general,
II is thought Il viii be promptly given,
as the need for more help IN the local
war plants IS most vital and only the
most drastic action. Il seems. VIII be
.gbls TO provide the help needed.
Another matter, Of equal Importance,
which the Community Board announced
It's Intention Of enforcing, is the requir~
ing Of laborers applying for work 20
show a proper release signed by their
previous employer. This action IL was
said Is intended TO break up the prsc
tice of men drifting from one Job TO
another.
The meeting was called to order by
Charles Warner, State director OF the
u. S. Public Service Reserve. who, after
stating the object OF the meeting, called
upon A. G.. Benkhart, State director OF
the United States Employment Service, |
10 take the chair.
MIR. Benkhart outlined the cause OF
The present labor shortage, attribuilng |
the greater part Of It TO the enormous
labor turnover going on day by day in
this city. which It has seemed impossi- !
hle heretofore TO check. He referred TO
The enormous growth Of the United
States Employment Service in this city
during the past year and promised
most hearty cooperation with indus
trial establishments in the procurement
of lsborers and holding the same.

we most need now, Is greater cooper
alton and The gradual elimination of the
labor turnover
David Snellenburg, chairman OF Com
munity Labor Board No. 4, spoke OF
the recruiting Of common labor by taxi
Ing from the less essentials for war
work and OF many OF the difficulties en-
countered IN the task sot them. lie
urged that all employment at the gate
cease for a certain period and that
everyone In need OF help, should try the
experiment of applying TO the United
States Employment Service for IL.
j. Wesley Morris. chairman Of tho
Community Labor Board, OF New Cas-
Tie, told of the success with which the
manufacturers OF New Castle had met
by the adoption OF tho very plan sug-
gested. The only drawback to their
successful operation had been due to
the fact that Wilmington was still hlr-
Ing at the gate and thus had drawn
many OF their employees TO this city.
Unless Wilmington abandoned the prac-
tlce, New Castle would necessarily be
compelled 10 return TO the same
methods that prevail here,
C. d. Garrettson, a member OF the
Community Labor Board. representing
the employers. frankly stated that the
manufacturer did not like the prospect
but there seemed TO be no other way
out OF the difficulty OF securing labor
than by giving the United States En-
ployment Service O chance TO show
what IL could do, and that he favored
doing away with all employment SER
Vice al the gates OF manufacturing es-
Establishments and the securing OF all
labor through the United States En-
ploment Service.
Mr.. Warner spoke OF the tendency OF
common labor 10 shift without notice
and urged some system whereby all
labor must pass through the govern
ment agency and advocated the regis
try OF men so that a check could be
placed on the men who are continually
drifting from one Job to arother. lie
also urged that the manufacturer should
show the men coming from non-essen- |
tial Jobs more consideration than had
been shown IN some instances.
Along this same line District Super
lntendent John G. Saylor told Of case
In which a minister, who had a son In |
France and felt desirous OF helping In /
war work, had gone TO the Employment
Service, been assigned to work In war
plant and been refused because he was
4 minister.
Mr. saylor urged the adoption OF tho
plan suggested that for specified |
period. all employing at the gate /
should cease and all labor should he
hired only through the Employment
Service.
After the motion was put 70 hire /
common labor only at the Employment |
Service, It was amended by the addition
of ell labor, both skilled and unskilled,
md IN this form II was unanimously
passed.
The announcement Of the date rests
With the Community Labor Board.
