THE LABOR pRoeL EN-.

LITE LN9GH FnObLEm.
AS much as the labor shortage is
being felt In this section, 1t is not
nearly 80 serious as In other sections.
But the labor supply, Hike that Of
money and all other commodities,
cannot be controlled for long by To-
cal conditions. Sooner or later Maury
county Is going to feel the labor
shortage with all of its intensity. The
drain Of laborers to other places
where great government industries
are being established and the depar-
ture of men called In the draft al
ready are making perceptible inroads
on the labor supply here. The time
has come for a mobilization of forces
to meet the situation and the first
step should be general rounding up
of loafers and Migrants. Every able
bodied man who Is not working six
days week should be ordered to
move out or get to work. No sham
claims of employment that does not
occupy all of their working days and
hours should be accepted. 1t is no
longer question of whether man
has an income sufficient to support
him or is supported by somebody
else; the point is whether he is reg
ularly at work with his own hands or
head helping to produce something or
to keep the wheels of some kind of
business moving, whether he needs
the money he earns or not It is
the waste of energy that must be
stopped.
Other towns IN Tennessee are be-
ginning campaigns to rid themselves
Of all idlers. Over at Dayton the
sheriff is preparing to deal drastically
with all loafers, Migrants and other
persons who are not doing their duty
in these times of national crisis, &C
cording to a dispatch in the Chatta-
nooga Times. This sheriff has de-
clared that he is ready to proceed
under a state law which, it appears,
Is not generally known to exist. This
law, according to the dispatch, speci-
fies fifteen classes which come under
the general term Of vagrancy. and
provides not only that 1t shall be the
duty of officers to arrest such per-
sons, but also provides a fine of 500
against any officer who neglects to
arrest them. It appears that in that
county, as in every other county in
the state, there are some persons
whose chief ambition seems to be to
avoid work or any activity of a self
supporting nature, and the sheriff
there says that he expects to round
up such slackers and give them their
chance of work, war or workhouse."
It would be interesting to know
what the law that has been discover.
ed is SO that it could be applied here
to any person coming under either of
the fifteen classes specified as va
grancy.
In some sections it has already be-
come necessary for the women to go
into the fields and factories to pro-
vide labor. May God forbid that
such necessity should ever arise in
Maury county. But that is what the
situation is leading to- and before
any woman in Maury county is COM
PEELED to lay her hands to task that
should be performed by able bodied
men, every vagrant or man suspected
of vagrancy should be put to work or
driven from the borders Of this coun-
ty.

MAN POWER

That man power will win the war
and that 1t is the imperative duty Of
the United States to provide that man
power, Ia the opinion Of military ex-
perts In America and the allied ma
lions Of Europe. America will fur
nish the men. for the fighting forces
as rapidly as the ships are secured to
transport them. Thousands OF men
are waiting for an opportunity to be
accepted as volunteers or to be call
ed in the selective draft. There is
no question about the supply OF fight
ing men. But the man power prob
lem that is handicapping America is
that Of the loafers and slackers at
home, the men who are not fit for
active service in the army or navy
and, therefore, cannot be drafted, but
who are able bodied and fit for work
at home II they were not too lazy and
unpatriotic to exert themselves be-
yond the point necessary to keep body
and soul together.
A railroad president recently made
q tour of the South to ascertain the
true labor situation here and made
the statement that 10 per cent Of the
labor In this section of the country is
idle. He said that he found enough
men loafing around the stations OF
his road to supply all the labor his
company needed. Despite the war
and the resultant speeding up of in
dustries, with high wages offered
everywhere, the loafers and the slack
ers are still to be found.
Columbia has more than her share
Of these worthless parasites. The
Herald has reliable information that
more than a score of able bodied ne
gro men are existing here without any
visible means OF support. There are
some white men who come within
the same category. There are other

be filled by women. The time has
come when this city and all other
cities must rid themselves of these
loafers. They arc Migrants. When
1t is said that man power will win
the war. 1t is meant that man power
"a needed at home as well as on the
battlefield in France.
A speaker declared in Columbia a
short time ago that there are only
three places for a man in this coun-
try-the army, at work or in jail. The
last place is not the proper one for
any man to be either by desire or
compulsion. Let Il be the army or
at work. II any man, white or color
ed. is. loafing let the authorities see
to. 1t that he joins the army or gets
to work. The Jail is no place for
icafer. That would be too comfortable
for him. Put him to work.

The paramount issue this year is
the war, and the politicians will have
to accept it whether or no.

Those Greeks who fought at Their
mopylae will have to get out of the
lime light since the fight on KENNEL
Hill. The French regiment that fought

out as one Of tho most heroic of the
innumerable acts of heroism during
the worlds greatest war.

docks in month than all the
shipyards In America formerly turned
out in years. The launching of these
ships is the real beginning Of the
American offensive. But there must
be more ships and more men to fill
them for their voyages to the scene
of war.
Congress has signified its willing
ness to vote any number of men the
war department may be prepared to
equip. The American people have
demonstrated that willingness to fur
nish the money that will be consumed
in the fighting. 1t is going to re-
quire strong hearts to sustain the
strain that is coming upon us, and
there will be something for every
man and woman to do. For the mil.
lions of men who are going across to
fight there must be many millions
more working, saving, struggling to
supply them with the food, clothing,
guns, ships, munitions and all the ap-
purtenances of war that are needed.
And that is what worries some of the
men in uniform. VIII the people sup
ply those things. We say they will.
But mere declarations are not suffi.
Gent. Let us remember the old say
ing that actions speak louder than
words, and shut our mouths, roll up
our sleeves and get down to work
with the feeling that every stroke of
the hammer and every turn of the
mind is a shot at the kaiser.
