Employment Service will follow the priority determined by the priorities board of the War Industries Board zp1 the employment service through ‘all its agencies will keep in systematic and constant co_operation with the other divisions of the govern- ment concern with the man power and meaterial programme. “It is within_ the province of each community labor board to iist those non-war_industries in its community which will first be called upcs. to con- tribute men to war work. . “This does not mean that such in- dustries will be compelled to close up or to discharge their male employes at once but with as much speed as may be necessary to meet the national emergency they will refeasc male male workers. “We may as well face the Much work s al to our facts. pro- seriously retarded by li6a Iabor.

The labor situation in essential in- dustries continues to be alarmingly serious, aceording to information from Washington. War industries are short a million unskilled laborers, and the shortage of skilled workers is equally serious. Governor Marcus H. Holcomb, when asked about the national labor sit- uation, said: “The news which comes to us from ‘Washington is alarming. We have real- ized that there was an enormous labor short#.ge but I fear many of us have fafled to grasp its great preportions. There is but one thing to do. War in- dustries must be supplied with the labor they need. If the available source for this labor is non-essential industry, then it must come from non- essential industries. The government labor programme has apparertly beer. carefully worked out and both em- ployers and employes have repre- sentatives on these important commu- nity labor boards, which shall deter- mine what industries must give up men for war plants. Connecticut has not balked at any war demard of the government and 1 am sure Connecti- cut will be ready to meet its labor de- mand. whatever the cost be to indus- try which means nothing to our suc- cess in _the. war. Ira M. Ornhorn of New Haven, sec- retary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, expressed the belief that Connecticut employes would meet without a murmur the new war labor programme of the government.” “Labor—and I use the term in its broadest sense—has enlisted in the vast army behind the lines upon which our fighting men depend to fill all of their needs. Labor cau be de- pended upon to come across.” Officers, of the Connecticut Manufac- turers’ association, when told the facts received from Washington concerning the nation-wide labor crisis, said that members of the association always have been and are today ready active- ly to support the government fully in its purpose of meoting all the la bor demands of war industries. LEBANON PILGRIMAGE FOR LAFAYETTE'S BIRTHDAY The principal feature of Connecti- cut’s eelebration ‘of Lafayette's birth- day—Friday of next week—will be the statewide automobile pilgrimage to Lebanon which has been arranged for Sunday, Sept. 8. The entire state has been invited by the Lebanon War 1100 meetings, and there Washington and Lafavette and Jonathan Trumbuil frequently met to discuss the strategy of the Confinental armies. At Barracks Field in Lebanon, where the French army encdfmped on its way from Newport to Saratoga, the special exercises in honor of Irance and of Lafayette will be held on the day of the pilgrimage. There will be an address by a French officer, and the Stars and Stripes and the tri- color of France will be raised while the national anthems of the two, great sister republics ‘are played. The programme for the day also In- cludes visits to the birthplaces of Jo- nathan Trumbull and William A. Ruckingham, governors of Connecticut during the Revolution and the Civil war. The pilgrims will be led by Governor Marcus M. Holcomb, Con- necticut’s third war governor, The tomb of Trumbull, and the old war office also will be visited, while the principal exercises will be held on the’ green near the original site of the Trumbull home. ' Parking facil for automobiles will be provided by the Lebanon War Bureau. Those who make the pil- grimage will be expected to bring box lunches, and an opportunity will be given during the programme for ths eating of these lunches on the ground where French soldiers who came to help establish this republic até their CANDY MAKERS URGE ONE POUND SALES Although there is no state associa- tion of confectioners in Connecticut, Pederal Food Administrator —Robert Scoville is endeavoring in various ways to reap some of the benefits c2 resolutions recently adonted by Association of Manufacturers of Con- Lureau to participate in this pilgrim- | fectionery and Chocolzte of the State of New York.

The New York State Association promptiy adopted a resolution which ed that whereas the food ad- ministration had put the peopnle of the United States on a ration of two pounds per month and had cut candy makers’ sugar allotment to 50 per cent. of that used a yvear ago, and whereas the association wished to co- cperate in every way with the food administration, the “association urges the consuming public to limit its pur- chases of candy or chocolates to oXe pound at any one time and to limi: its agsregate purchases to one half its usual consumption. This restriction does not apply to the purchases of candy and chocolates fof shipment to men and women in the service."

Mr. Russell, Connecticut fuei admin- istrator, said Tuesday: “It is expected that the spirit and ! the letter of the federal fuel admin- istration’s request will be followed in Connecticut. *“There should be no ‘gasoline slack. ers) and pleasure riders on Sundays as long as the ban is on assuredly are to be considered ‘gasoline sluckers.” He says that the Lebanon excep- tion is made because of the nature of the event, because plans have pro- gressed so far for it and because the saying of gaso\ne will be effected | through pledge to conserve on another Sunday.
