Local Loan Campaign Committee
Prepares for Intensive Drive
to Begin Saturday.
Richmond's quota in the fourth lib
erty loan cum pale n will be botw;een
$ 19,000.000 iin'I J-'",00'.0<?0. This is
more than twice the amount assigned
the city in the last drive.
These figures were civen out last
night by G??org<* ?' Seay. covcrnor of
the Federal Reserve Hank, after ho
had received notification from the
Treasury Department at Washington
that the quota for the l-'ifth Federal
Reserve District would he $2.$0,000.000.
In preparation for the task before it,
a meeting of the Kiehmond Liberty
loan committee will bo held at head
quarters. Eleventh and Batik Streets,
on Thursday afternoon at 1 o'clock.
This is expected to he the final meet
ing before the opening of the big drive
on Saturday. September -8. when the
campaign tor almost $20,010,000 will
no into action.
Saturday, the tirst day of the cam
paign. has been bet aside as "Yoluii
tity Subscription Day" by the Rich
mond organization. An effort is being
made to impress upon every citizen
I who can possibly do so to enter his or
h'-r subscription on Saturday. This may
be done by calling at any bank and
making the initial payment on the sub
scription. or they will be accepted
when patrons call their own banking
institutions b> telephone and request
the amount of bonds they wish to pur
chase.
KIIIST l)AV>> WORK TO

Heavy voluntary subscriptions on
Saturday will give Impetus to the cam
paign it is believed by the Liberty loan
workers, who point out that a record
will be an example' to those who may
l>e inclined to lag behind. In order to
reach the quota set aside for Rich
mond. which must be raised between
September 2S and October IS*, loan head
quarters point out that unusual efforts
must tie put forth by every citizen.
It Is hoped to greatL increase the num
ber of individual subscribers during
the present campaign, and plans have
been completed for an intensive can
vass of the city.
As one means of giving every money
earning member of the community an
I opportunity t.. buy the bonds, banks of
the city have formrd 'he Liberty Loan
Association of Richmond, which has
arranged to permit subscribers to pur
t chase bonds of the $50 denomination by
, an initial payment of $2. W hen this
payment and the application are turn
ed in. a book will be delivered to the
subscriber. In these books will l.c
spaces for forty-eight stamps. F.adt
week J1 must be paid by the subscriber,
and he will be given a stamp represent
ing this amount to be placed in his
book. When forty-eight stamps have
been placed in the book they may be
exchanged at the Federal Reserve Bank
of Richmond for the government bond.
Stamps may be secured at anv bank,
not necessarily at the one at which

WASHINGTON, Ho ptcmber l'l. The
| fcovcrnmcnt is about to adopt a mcas
i urc to enforce stability of wages dur- !
ir<g the war. Plans under discussion i
| between representatives of manufac- J
Hirers and labor and oflicials of th<- :
War and Nuvy Departments. charged
with letting niortnous . -on tracts. si was
learned to-day. provide for a natiofi-1
] wide system of community or indu.s-j
try agreements, in which both .mu
i ployees and employers will participate
and which will be enforced for the'
agreement period through government
priorities power or labor employment'
pi ess urc.
This plan has received tentative ap
proval of representatives of manufac
turers and laitor interests, and will be
j discussed further to-morrow with a
I delegation from the national industrial
conference board.
In this connection it became known
i to-day a number of government
agencies dealing with labor problems?
?the War and .Navv Departments. Milp
j ping Hoard, railroad administration.
J l.abor Department. I,ibor Adjustment
) l.oard. War Dabor l'olicic> Hoards and
others ?probably will l<e co-ordinated
shortly under a new committee of rep
resentativcK from each. One of the
principal reasons for this action, which .
may be taken by executive order of
('resident Wilson, is to facilitate en
forcement of the government's wage
stabilizing policy. A conference of
different agencies was luld to-day to
discuss methods of eliminating dupli
cation of effort.
Kapidlv rising labor costs. stimulated
l.y competition among industries for
employees and by the government's
prime necessity for production, have
forced the army and navy to take the
lead in promoting stabilizing meas
ures. oflicials explained to-day. In do
ing this,,they hope to guarantee fair
wages. In many cases higher than at
present, but always uniform for an in
dustrial district or for an employment
group and stable for the period of the
agreement. The agreements would last
probably for six months.

l-'or their part, manufacturers will be
i called on to pay the standard scale,,
and workmen will be asked to abide
by the sc.alc without labor disturbance.!
j If manufacturers refuse to pay the!
: standard wages, or pay more and there-!
I by unsettle conditions, they might lind i
' their fuel and materials cut off through i
! priorities orders. If labor organiza- j
tions violate the agreement, their mem
bers would be barred from seeking work .
through employment agencies, all of j
which now are government controlled.
This Man. as outlined to-day by olli- i
cials of the War and Navy Depart
ments. would be subject to many va- i
nations, but the government's power
to insist on a minimum of labor agita- |
tion in the interest of war production
would remain.
The proposed plan is an amplification j
of that adopted recently by the War I
and Navy Departments in settling |
threatened strikes of machinists in New
York, Buffalo and Hochester.

had hoped to fix .1 date late this week,
but this plan is understood to have
been abandoned, in order that addi
tional time may be given local boards
to correct any errors made in assign
ing serial numbers to the registrants.
Since men between nineteen and
thirty-six are to be called to the colors
first, the drawing will liave less effect
upon determining the order of the local
???11 than did that for the nearly 1.000.
000 men who turned twenty-one be
fore last June !>. Order numbers for
all the 1."5.000.000 men will be drawn,
but. youths of eighteen and men be
tween thirty-six and forty-five will not
be classified until the boards have
given classification to all the men be
tween nineteen and thirty-six who are
the first to receive their questionnaires,
in the meantime, many of the nineteen
thirty-si;: classes will have been in
duct ?'d into service.
Heportr. received to-day by Provost
Marshal-General t'rowder from nearly
all States indicated that satisfactory
progress is being made by local boards
in attaching serial numbers to the leg
ist ration cards, but in one or two in
stances mistakes by local boards have
made necessary the renumbering of the
cards for all registrants under their
jurisdiction. No date for the drawing
can be fixed until this work is com
pleted and the serial numbers posted,
and while this may be done this week
it is understood that General Crowder ]
will allow several days for the discov
ery of any errors before holding the
dra wing.
Only live States have now to report
the totals of the registration. Unless
their returns show sharp decreases un
der the official r.vtliiiiiie, the total regis
tration will exceed the original esti
mate of 1 2,778,000.
