Selective Service
And The Farmer

In order to develop a better un-

and Selective Service Headquarters.
representatives from several fed
eral and state agricultural organi-
cations of the State of Mississippi
met wit hthe State Director, Col
onel Lawrence w. Long, NC, and
discussed some of the problems
that must be solved before this state
can comply with the requirements
OF the country for increased produc-
ton of food, fiber and oils for the
coming year of 1914.
Although the government has es-
tablished as the minimum through
out the country war units for
each farm worker, a survey con-
Quoted by the Manpower Division
OF selective service headquarters
revealed in some sections of this
state, local boards are deferring
registrants whose farm plan sheets
show they have less than 5 war
units. While the report indicated
workers in some sections with less
than 5 war units, it is gratifying to
announce other counties in the state
are cooperating with the local
boards and the farmers show more
than 16 war units.
After the meeting was called to
order by member of the farm
group, Colonel Long was asked to
preside.
In his first statement to the rep
resentatives of the farm organiza-
tons, Colonel Long insisted that
only by utilizing their farm labor
the entire year can this state meet
the demands of the nation for more
food with less labor.
According to the latest reports re-
ceived at State Headquarters of Sc
lective Service the labor situation
in this state ha snot become too

tiers to increase their farm war

Males Urged
To Register

AS soon as every male person in
the United States becomes 10 years
of age, he must register with the
Selective Service Office located in
the vicinity in which he resides,
declared State Director, Colonel
Lawrence w. Long, in a statement
today.
This is in accordance with the
Selective Training and Service
Law as amended, and the state di-
rector urged all men over the state
to report to their local boards and
register on the day they reach their
18th anniversary of their birth.
Although most of the men in this
stae are periodically cooperating
with state headquarters, Colonel
Long issued this statement today in
order that some few who might
have neglected to register at the
proper time can go to their local
boards and fill out the necessary
forms.

Ministers Get
Help For Farmers
In Tennessee

A few weeks ago Tennessee far
mers around Nashville were des-
perately in need of workers to help
with the harvesting of tobacco.
When the colored ministers of
Nashville heard about the plight
of the farmers they volunteered to
help. On Sunday morning, July
4, every colored church In the
city carried this announcement:
The harvest is ripe but the labor
ers are few. Primers are wanted
at once. Let us show by working
on the farm, that we believe in the
saying, one for all, and all for
one The announcement got good
results. Within a few days the
problem of labor was largely solv-
ed.

FPHA Announces
Non-Discrimination
In All War Contracts
Negroes Have Received
lOPercent Of Total Payroll
On War Housing Projects

The Federal Public Housing Au-
thority announced today that its
non-discrimination construction la
Dor policy had been clarified to
make all contractors understand
that the agency is adhering strictly
to the Presidents latest executive
order on fair employment prac-
tice
FPHA Commissioner Herbert En-
merich declared that the agency's
regulations were amended on July
to include subcontracts as well as
direct contracts for construction of
publicly-financed war housing pro-
jects. The regulations also extend
the discrimination provisions
to applicants for employment on
war housing projects as well as to
persons already employed by con-
tractors or subcontractors.
In addition, the directive imme-
diately affects all FPHA construc-
ton work off the site" as we'll as
work performed ION the site"
Although prior rulings have gen.
orally defined the term "contrac-
tor to include "subcontractors," the
new regulation now specifically in
serts the non-discrimination clause
into all subcontract documents. All
contract documents for work on
war housing now will carry the
following instruction:
There shall be no discrimination
by reason of race, creed, color, nat
ional origin or political affiliations,
against any employee or applicant
for employment, qualified by train
ing and experience, for work in
the development of war housing.
THE Contractor shall include
the foregoing provision in all sub
contracts for any part of the work
of this Contract"
The provisions In the FPHA or
der for the determination of COM
pliance by the use of percentage
criteria are not changed. They
require that the proportion of the
total amounts paid for skilled and
unskilled labor received by Ne
groeS and whites working on war
housing projects must approximate
the respective percentages of Ne
gro and white skilled and unskiIl-
ed laborers living in the locality.
Commissioner Emmerich said that
more than $18,0OO,OOO, comprising
10 per cent of the total payroll for
construction labor employed in the
development of the war housing
projects, to which the revised or
der applies, has been paid to Ne
gro workers. This sum is exclu-
sive of the $23,0OO0OO paid Negro
workers in the construction of PWA
and FPHA-aided public housing
projects.
