Oil Mill Labor Shortase.-Ho-ace l.
Tilghman. director Of the Federal en-
ployment bureau in Columbia, had ad-
dressed letters to all chairmen Of COM
munity labor boards, in which he sug-
gested that mass meetings Of business
men and employers be called to dis
cuss labor relief measures, where field
men are unable to help the situation.
Relief to the oil mills Is the first con-
sideration. Mr.. Tilghman emphasizes,
and it is suggested that women be
used wherever practicable. In the let
ter to the community board chairman,
Mr. Tilghman says:
IF your board. with the aid Of the
field man, can not relieve the situation.
would suggest that you call a meet
/, ing of the leading business men and
employers Of your community and see
II some relief can not be provided. The
different employers should give up one
or more men to this service, according
TO the number of men employed by
them"
The cottonseed crushing business Of
the state is in q deplorable condition.
according to reports from every sec
ton. Indicative Of the general situa-
ton is the letter from the Marion Cot
ton Oil company. excerpts from which
follow:
I'VE have to date not averaged
crushing to one-half our capacity and
have not been able to work up to the
first green seed purchased. which are
consequently heating and being dam
aged. We are unable to buy more seed
until we get the bad ones worked up,
and the large stock which the sur
rounding ginneries have in storage
will heat and damage because the oil
mills cannot handle them in reasona-
BILE time. The products made from
these damaged seed are considerably
below prime in quality. especially In
oil. which shows high loss in refining
and otherwise on"
1t Is suggested by the Marion mill
authorities that the question Of fur
loughing negro registrants now in camp
be asked Of the war authorities until
relief is brought.
