... PAGE TWELVE MASS MEETINGOF WORKMEN IS POSTPONED

A mass meeting ot worklngrnen of Richmond, set for Thursday night at the Coliseum, has been postponed it was announced Wednesday by Robert E. Graham, chairman of the committee in charge of arrangements for the meeting. The following statement was issued by Mr. Graham : "Having been appointed chairman of a committee from the worklngrnen of the city of Richmond to arrange a meeting . where the workers might have opportunity to discuss ways and means of bettering our condition and also aid our government In winning the war, I desire to state that, after much consideration, we have decided to postpone the proposed meeting for the present. "One of the main reasons for this Is that the United States government has very recently appointed a man In this city to look' after the labor situation in this locality, and we could not perfect anyplans until we ascertain just what his powers will be and how much power will be Invested in him by the government to aid us. "I desire to make it plain that, under no circumstances, is the matter to be dropped without some action to gain corresponding conditions which exist in our neighboring cities. If, upon investigation it is found that the worklngrnen ot this city are being imposed upon in the slightest degree through poor housing, under-feeding or being insufficiently clothed as compared with other communities, and it is clearly within the jurisdiction of the working class of our city for consideration, action will be taken to bring the full power of all workers Immediately to bear on the situation in order to bring about a readjustment that, in our estimation, would be deemed necessary, In a legal and business-like manner. "Your committee will inform you of any facts that may ' be available through the news channels ot the public press as developments occurr." (Signed) "ROBERT E. GRAHAM, Chairman. Handley, Labor Director. Lawrence A. Handley, formerly cashier of the American Trust and Savings bank, was recently appointed United States director of labor in Richmond. It is understood that he is making a general survey of the labor situation in Richmond. Will W. Roller, chairman of the Wayne County Council of Defense, who was appointed a member of the committee to arrange for the meeting Thursday night, has resigned because of his connections with the council ot defense. NO FEE CHARGED . FOR REGISTRATION Forty voters registered Tuesday at the court house. The registration clerks say that there is an idea prevailing that there is a fee. This is absolutely untrue. All voters are urged to register as soon as possible so that a large vote may be polled at the election In November. Express Appreciation for Gifts to French Fund The managers of the American fund for the Fatherless Children of France in charge of the demonstration given in Richmond on July 4th have given pressed their appreciation of the $500 which was thrown in the flags. The entire amount was put into the fund. The part of the parade devoted to the Fatherless Children of France was one of the most striking features of the parade. Fifty children and several adults took the parts of the refugees fleeing from the enemy. The children who took parts in the French scenes were nearly all country children. Richmond has adopted 100 French orphans. Mrs. William Dudley Foulke is the local treasurer of the French orphans' relief. Mrs. Arthur Charles and Mrs. J. T. Giles have assisted in interesting the public. AVIATOR IS KILLED. EATON", O., July 24 Donald Charlton, of Bucyrus, O., brother of Mrs. K. E. Bevington, of New Paris, was killed in an airplane accident at Tallafero field, near Fort Worth, Texas, according to word received Tuesday by Mrs. Bevington.

Charles Walling yesterday sold his farm of 100 acres, located In Bath township, Franklin county, Ind., to Jacob Kunkle, of Bath. The farm brought $150 an acre. PLAIN QUESTIONS TO RICHMOND PEOPLE Every Richmond Reader Will Admit the Soundness of the Logic. Would Richmond people recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as they do If the medicine were not reliable? Would they confirm their statements after years have elapsed if their experiences did not show the remedy to be deserving of It? Statements like the following must carry conviction to the mind of every reader: Mrs. Robert Hull. 464 S. Eighth St., Richmond, gave the following statement in September, 1915: "Several years ago my kidneys were weak and disordered. My back was weak, lame and ached steadily and my kidneys acted Irregularly. I used Doan's Kidney Pills and had very satisfactory results. I advise anyone who is troubled with kidney disorders to get Doan's Kidney Pills at Thlstlethwalte's Drug Store." On November 23, 1917. Mrs. Hull added: "Since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of kidney trouble I have had no return of it I am glad to recommend them again." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim ply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Hull had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM,

J. B. Dettsmore; Director-General of Labor Departmen f , Announces Plan of U.S. Employment Service

J. B. Densmore, director general of the Department of Labor, U- S. Employment Service,-has sent the follow: ing letter to the Palladium: i We beg to direct , your attention to the plans of the U. S. Employment Service, and to the great effect which this program will have, upon the industrial life of the nation. On August" 1.. the supplying of war industries with common labor will be centralized in the U. S. Employment Service of the Department of Labor, and all independent recruiting of common labor by manufacturers having a payroll of more than 100 men will be diverted to the U. S. Employment Service. This is in accordance with the decision of the War Labor Policies Board and approved by the president on June 17. (The War Labor Policies Board is composed of representatives of the War, Navy, and Agricultural Departments, the Shipping Board and the Emergency Fleet Corporation, the War Industries Board, and the Food, Fuel and Railroad Administrations. Its chairman is Felix Frankfurter, assistant to the secretary of Labor.) The above action was found necessary to overcome a perilous shortage of unskilled labor in war industries. This shortage was aggravated by an almost universal practice of labor stealing and poaching. To Include Skilled Labor. While the restrictions against the private employment of labor apply 'only to common labor at the present time, these restrictions will, as B0':n as possible, be extended to include skilled labor. In the meantime, recruiting of skilled labor for war production will be subject to federa.1 regulations now being prepared. This drastic change in the nation's labor program has been found necessary in order to protect the employer and the employed, to conserve the labor supply of the communities and to cut down unnecessary and expensive labor turn-over (which, in some cases, is as high as 100 a week), and to increase the production of essentials. While non-essential industries will be drawn upon to supply the necessary labor for war work, the withdrawal will be conducted on an equitable basis in order to protect the individual employer as much as possible. Under the operating methods adopted, the country has been divided into thirteen federal districts, each district in charge of a superintendent of the U. S. Employment Service. The states within each district are in turn family, Christ Sweighert and family and George Drew and family all of Castine, Jim Shumaker and family of near Greenville, Joe Drew and family of Gorden, Cliff Drew and family of) navona, narry iucurin ana iamny or near Ithica, Myrtle and Sylvia Trone, C. A. Trone, Mrs. Mary Trone Mrs. Jacob Wolverton is spending the week with Dr. and Mrs. O. P. Wolverton at Greenville Miss Sylvia Trone of Dayton spent from Friday until Monday at home Mr. and Mrs. Gorman McGriff entertained her mother, Mrs. Dan Davis of Eaton last week. Played Out Lawyer Looks Like New All His Friends Pleased For a long time he kept the secret of the wonderful change to restored health and recovery from nervous breakdown, but at last because of the help it might be to his friends he thought it only fair to teU them, and now they are all like him, have "come back" and feel like doing things. He took Phosphated Iron and it took hold of him immediately, he says he felt better "right off the reel" and you never saw a more thankful and pleased man; he cannot say enough in praise of Phosphated Iron. He says it seemed as if his whole system just craved the Iron, it was absorbed so quickly, the color came back to his cheeks, his step had that old time boy swing and spring, while as for his nerves, the Phosphates got right to work, cleared up the cobwebs and befuddled brain, so he could think better and act quicker, his judgment was right again, he had decision that he lacked for years; no wonder he is a pleased booster of Phosphated Iron. Mr. Professional Man or Woman, Mr. Office Man or Bill Clerk or Stenographer who is all in and feels that he is not sick and he is not well, but who knows he is not right, Phosphated Iron is just what you need; it will tide you over, put you right, you will feel "on the job" and work will be a pleasure. To insure physicians and their patients getting the genuine Phosphated Iron we have put in capsules only, do not take pills or tablets. Insist on capsules.

in charge of a state director, who has

full controf of the service within his j state , ' Local Labor Board. In each community there is being formed a local community labor board, consisting of a representative of the U.; S.-Employment Service, a representative of the employed. This board will have jurisdiction over recruiting and distributing labor in its locality. A survey, of the labor requirements is being made, and in order that each community may be fully protected, rulings. have been issued that no labor shall be transported out of any community by the U. S. Employment Service without the approval of the State Director; nor shall any labor be removed by the Service from one state to another without the approval of the U. S. Employment Service at Washington. Every effort will be made to discourage any movements from community to community or state to state by any other service. This program has the approval of all producing Departments of the government, through the War Labor Policies Board. It must be understood that farm labor will be protected, for the industrial program distinctly includes special efforts to keep the farmer supplied with labor.

Labor for the railroads. . 3. Farm : labor to be recruited in accordance with existing , arrangements with Department of Agriculture. 4. Labor, for non-war work. 5. Labor for establishments whose . maximum force does not exceed one hundred. When the survey of labor requirements has been made and the aggregate demand for unskilled labor in war work is found, each State will be assigned, a . quota, representing the common labor to be drawn from among ; men engaged in non-essential industries in that state. " These state quotas will in turn 'be distributed among localities. Within each locality, employers in non-war work, including those who are only partially in war work, will be asked to distribute the local . quotas from time to time amongst themselves. Quotas by localities and individuals are to be accepted as readily as they are for Liberty Loan and Red Cross campaigns. This plan of labor quotas GOOD-BYE We're going home.

is" a" protection for" all communities. Oppose Shifting of Labor.' ;The object is .to . keep any community from being drained of labor, and to use local supply, as far as possible, for local demand. The situation, however, is such that in certain cases some men may have to be transported over long distances. You will note from the above outline that this is probably the most drastic action that the government has taken since putting the National Army draft into effect. The absolute necessity for this program can be seen when it is realized that in Pittsburgh, for instance, there are advertisements calling for men to go to Detroit; while in Detroit street cars there are posters asking men to go to Pittsburgh. This same condition is apparent all over the United States and in the consequent shifting of labor a great part of our war effort is dissipated. Because it is only through the press of the nation that this matter can be fully presented to the people, we are asking that you lay this matter fully and frankly before your readers, showing them that thi3 action is taken as a war measure in order to pro-

i tect not only employers and the em ployed, but communities as well.
