THIS WILL Be APPRE-
GATED BY ALL Ma
TI0NAL GUARDSMEN

Judge Benjamin F. Cleaves of Au-
gusta. executive secretary of the AS
sociated Industries of Maine, has sent
out a letter recommending that each
manufacturer either pay to each man
the amount of money which he
would receive during the two weeks
if he were employed or pay them the
difference between what they receive
from the State and federal govern
ments, and what they would receive
as compensa ton in their regular en-
ployment while the members of the
National Guard are in camp at Devens
next month and at Portland in Sep
TENDER.
The executive committee in dis
cussing the matter. recognized the
very splendid character of each of
these orga niZatiors, and the necessity
Of keeping up such organizations in
order to maintain full preparedness.
as well as stimulating in the minds
of the citizenry at large a respect for

! letter.

/ that they could also speak for the
members Of this association. recoS-
niZed the desira biiity Of assisting the
State. as we'll as the men who belong
: to these organizations. They there
! fore concluded that inasmuch as the
State and federal governments at the
present time are not so situated as TO
give the men full compensation, each
employer should pay to each man the
difference between the s1.50 per day
which he would receive and the
amount which his wage would be if he
/ remained a. his regular employment
/ The executive committee therefore
! recommends to each manufacturer
that this procedure lie adopted for this
! year at least and that members of
/ this association urge upon the state
and federal governments such an in
crease in the amount (which the men
! in camp receive as will be entirely ad-
equatc and such as to make each man
! feel that financially he can afford to
do what periodically he is very anx-

These suggestions Of the commit

urges upon each manufacturer the
adoption of the suggestions, and in
order that the adjutant general may

that you notify this office whether or
not you expect to comply with the
