Just What the Government Expects in New. Call for Unskilled Workers. Conditions under, which male labor can be directed to war work under the government's new regulations affecting the unskilled class were given out Monday, by Supt. H. J. Martindale of the Willimantic branch office of the United States employment service, The announcement was made par- ticularly for the benefit of all em- ployes in this section of the state, be- cause this month the government, through the United States public ser- vice reserve, will be appealing to toil- ers to volunteer for war work. The euperintendent said he desired a thor- ough understanding on their part and for their guidance he offered the full official explanation of the United States war iabor supply program in question and answer form, under the special heading of “The Rights of Employes,” and as follows: Is a man under any compulsion to go_into war work? None, except his own sense of duty to_his country. What right of choice of employment have men who respond to the govern- ment's appeal for war workers? They are free to take the job offered or not, as they like. They will greatly facilitate the task of equipping war work with men if they comply with the suggestions made by the United States employment service. Can a workman secure a job in war work except through the employment. service? - Yes; . although it is urged that he should ‘secure it through the service. Will men be sent. to-plants where a strike is in progress or will workers out on strike be sent by the employ- ment. service to other places of em- ployment? Other official boards, such as the national war ‘labor beard, are charzed with the duty of gdjusting such differ- ences. The employment service will ablde by the rulings of such official boards and In the meantime will re- frain from sending men to such a plant or assisting men on strike to get other employment and, generally, from tak- ing any action which might help either side to ‘the controversy. What will a .man know as to the terms .and conditions of employment before volunteering for war work? He will be given as definite informa- tion as possible in advance with regard to all the terms and- conditions of em- ployment. So far: as possible this fh- formation, furnished in the first in- stance by the employer, will be verified by _the employment service.

Egually good'with fresh or con- it, it on arrival he does not like it? No; although such refusal ought not to be made except on &ood grounds ang on refund of any. transportation paid. 3 How long does a man have to stay and work where he is segt by the emr ployment service? There is' no limitation. Such work, however, is his post of duty, which he should not desert except for excellent reasons, of which the man himself is the judge. Can a man in war work change to another job without the consent of the employment eervice? Yes. He is, however, urged to first get the advice of the local employment service office. 3 ‘Will the government in any way prevent a man from changing his job? No; except that in all cases the em- ployment service will discourage such changes from war work, except for ad- equate reasons. Is any form of “black list® to be established? 5 No. Doesa man have to have a govern- ment card to get a job? o. Will transportation be paid to the point of employment? It will either be paid or advanced and deducted from wages. It is ex- pected that the war labor policies board will establish a uniform practice in_this respect. ‘Will wages be paid during the time of going to the job? 0. How will men be fed while being transported to the job? This will usually be arranged by the government as a part of transporta- tion. Definite information will be given in advance in each case.

Herbert C. Keach, who has the ice privileges at the lake, has all of the broken window glass to pay for, and this means a gonsiderabls sum of money, not to mention the damage that has been done to his ice houses. This spring there was a question as to whether bathing would be permit- ted at the lake. It was. The under- standing was that people who went there would deport themselves like ivilized beings, not as savages. Most of the people, probably 99 per cent. of them, have used good judgment in every respect while about the lake, but .the other one per cent, has been criminally reckjess, and it is for these few . that others must -suffer, unless the good people help catch and report the bad ones: PUTNAM Mrs. Ethel Wilcox Hewitt Disappears Mysteriously—Telegram From Sol- dier May Have Caused Girl on Pro- bation to Slip Away—Junior Chau- tauqua Town Organization Effect- ed—Call For Four Limited Service Men. Mrs. Ethel Wilcox Hewitr, who has been in the charge of Mrs. W. J. Bart- lett, as a special probation officer, has disapagared from this city and Mon- day afternoon her whereabouts was rot known. Mrs. Hewitt is in her 20th year. She figured in court proceedings here dur- ing the latter part of February, and at that time, Judge Geissler not car- ing to send her to jail, accepted the young woman's_ suggestion that Mrs. Bartlett be appointed her - probation officer, which was done by the court. Since then she has been in Mrs. Bartlett’s charge and has lived at.the Bartlett home, She was constantly chaperoned by Mrs. Bartlett and by Captain Fee or Lieut. Platt of the Sal. vation Army and her mail carefully censored before it was handed to her, Zor it was quickly found that she had accumulated a chain of soldier cor- respondents before setting into the court tangle here, these letters com- ing from many parts of the country and some from abroad. It was felt by the probation officer that it would Dbe better that she should not see these letters. But the young woman schemed on her own account and it has been dis- covered since her departure that she had been getting, in a clandestine way, many letters, ail of these coming to her under a fictitious name she had assumed—Irene Smith, It has been discovered since her de- parture that a telegram arrived here for “Irene Smith” from a soldier at Camp Merritt, N. J. This telegram read, “Don’t come; everything gone wrong,” and it is now evident that it was a follow-up to a letter arranging for her to meet the soldier—but be- fore the telegram had arrived she had disappeared, stealing out of the Bart- lett house in the night. The matter has been reported to the Traveler's Aid society of Hartford and an effort is now being made to locate the girl, Mrs. Hewett is the daughter of Mrs. a Cornell, who was before the city court late in the winter to answer to an unsavory charge. , Mrs. Cornell was said Monday to be in Danielson. The girl was in the Tolland county home for children from the time she was 5 until she was 18 vears of age. was released in September, 1916, and was married about a month later. Her marriage proved unfortunate and she became separated from her hus- band, later coming here to live with Ler mother. During the period that‘she had been under probation she gained steadily in health and strength and her weight increased from 92 to 127 potinds. She was a fairly good looking girl and of the type that is known as chic, a fact that made her quite attractive. JUNIOR CHAUTAUQUA Organization of Town Effected Mon- day—Parts Cast For Play.
