The death of Mr. Hlakeslee remveo*
one of the best known men in West

NEW HIGH SCHOOL
0
Work on the Mineral County High
School will begin next week. The
contract for the building has been
awarded to Hugh Riley, the promin
ent Yerington architect and builder.
The site selected adjoins the court
| house on the south. The new school
will not only be a most desirable ed
i ucational institution, but will add to
' the beauty of a town.
GYPSUM COMPANY
CUTS FORCES
The force at the quarry at the Gyp
sum plant at the Mound Mouse is be
ing reduced, as the lack of building on
the co.ist lias caused 'a shortage of
orders. The quarry where nearly
thirty men was employed is being
TU-i by about half the force.
The mill is working full time hut
the quantity of product is not as
heavy as formerly. Unless building
takes a boom this fall along the
coast the mill will probably further
reduce employment.

U. S. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
The Times Is In Receipt of the Following
Letter From Employment Director
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 com
mon labor by manufacturers having a
pay-roll of more than 100 men will be
divertetd to the U. S. Employment
Service. This in in accordance with
the decision of the War Labor Pol
icies Board and approved by the Pres
ident on June 17. (.The War Labor
Policies Board is composed of rep
resentatives of the War, Navy and
Agricultural Departments, tlte Ship
ping Board and the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, the War Industries
(Board, and the Food, Fuel, and Rail
road Administrations. Its chairman is
Felix Frankfurter, Assistant to the
Secretary of Labor.
The above action was found neces
sary to overcome the perilous short
age of unskilled labor in war indus
tries. This shortage was aggravated
by an almost universal practice of
labor stealing and poaching.
While the restrictions against the
private employment of labor apply on
ly to common labor at the present
time, these restrictions will, as soon
as possible, be extended to include
skdled labor. In the meantime, re
cruiting of skilled labor for war pro
duction will be subject to federal reg
ulations now being prepared.
, This drastic change in the Nation's
labor program has. been found nec
essary* in order to protect the employ
er and the employed, to conserve the
labor supply of the communities and
to cut down unnece- iry and expen
sive labor turn-ove.,(which, in some
cases, is as high as 100 per cent a
„week,> and to increase the production
of essentials.
While non-esseiHiai industries Avill
be drawn upon to supply the neces
sary labor for war work, the with
drawal will be conducted on an equit
able basis in order^o protect the in
dividual employer as much as possible.
Under the ojerating methods adopt
ed, 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
in charge of a State Director, who has
full control of the service within his
State. ,
In each community there is being
formed a local community labor board
consisting of a representative of the
U. S. Employment Service, a repre
sentative of employers and a repre
sentative of the unemployed. This
board will have jurisdiction over re
cruiting and distributing labor in it:
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 com
munity 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 serviie.
This labor program has the approv
al of all producing Departments of
the Government, through the War
Labor Policies Board.
It must l>e understood that farm
labor will be protected, for the indus
trial program distinctly includes spec
ial efforts to keep the farmer^upptiad
with labor.
The requirement that unskilled la
bor must be recruited through the
sole agency of the L'. S. Employment
Service does not at present apply in
the following five uses: >
1. Labor which is not directly or
indirectly solicited.
2. Labor for the railroads.
3. Farm labor to be recruited in
waccordance with existing arrange
ment with the ^Department of Agri
culture.
4. Labor for non-war work.
5. Labor for establishments whose
maximum force does not exceed one
hundred. ' .
When the survey,of labor require
ments has been made and the aggre
gate demand for unskilled labor in
war work is found each State will be
assigned a quota representing the com
mon labor to be drawn from among
men engaged in non-essential indus
tries in that State. ' •
These State quotas will in turn be
distributed in localities. Within each
locality empjbwers in non-war work,
including those who are only partially
in war work, will he a-ked to distrib
ute the local quotas from time to time
amongst themsel.es. Quotas by lo
calities and individuals are to be ac
cepted as readily as they are for Lib
erty Loan and Red Cross campaigns.
This plan of labo/ quotas is a protec
tion for all communities;'
I lie ODject is to Keep any communi
ty 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 he transport
ed over long distances'
You will note from the above that
this is probably the most drastic ac
tion that the Government has taken
sin c ctithgput icnosetishrdlu shrldu
since putting the National Army draft
into effect. The aibsoute necessity .
for this program can be seen when it
is realized that in Pittsburgh, for in
stance, there are advertisements call
ing for men to go to Detroit; while
in Detroit street cars there are post
ers asking men to go to Pittsburgh.
This same condition is apparent all
over tht United States and in the con
sequent 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, show
ing them that this action is taken as
a war measure iw order to protect not
only employers and the employed, but
communities as w ell.
Yours respectfully, ,
J. B. Densmore,
Director General
