GOVERNMENT WILL STANDARDIZE WAGES.
 STATES TARRANT
Government to Take Steps to Prevent Labor Being Lured From One
 District to Another

George B. Tarrant, federal director, United States employment agency, who has just returned from Washington is of the opinion that the government will issue an order standardizing wages throughout the United States.
 The situation has reached the point where it is believed it will be necessary for the government to take steps to pre- vent the laborers of one district being lured to another on the promise or ex- pectation of more pay. according to MT. Tarrant
 All essential war work is being pushed as. rapidly as possible stated MT. Tar rant, but many of the industries in the Birmingham district doing from 80 to 90 per cent essential war work and in some eases 100 per cent, are unable to secure sufficient amount of labor to push the work as it should be pushed. and labor boards will be asked by the officials to withdraw immediately from non-essential work and that the places where these men should work be sug- gested by the local draft board in con- nection with the community labor board
