The “Y" Men Are To Be
Found Where Battle Is Hot
CURING GEORGIA’S
LABOR SHORTAGE
GEORGIA CHAMBER OF COM-
MERCE GIVES SOME METHODS
FOR RELEIVING IT.
“Every draft of men for the army
training camps, such as is being made
this week, renders thel abor situal
tion in Georgia more acute. A rem
edy must be found and applied in all
parts of the State if Georgia is to
maintain her industries and furnish
her share of war supplies’’ said H. B,
Hastings, President of the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce in discussing
this subject.
‘The method originating, I believe,
with. Savannah, and later adopted by
Augusta and now being put into ef
fect by Macon, seems to have worked
out to good advantage, the increased
labor efficiency in the Savannah in
dustries being estimated at twenty-
five per cent more.”
“While there has been a great lops
of man pawer in Georgia, it is equally
certain that with the now partially
or wholly idle leafing men, both
white and black put to work and kept
at work regularly^five and ah slf days
days a week, that lostm an power will
be largely made up.”
We may as well make up our mind
that necessity forbids that any man,
white or black in the state can loaf
or idle under present conditions re
gardless of whether thepresent legis
lature passes an Act to that effect or
not.”
“The Savannah plan in brief is
that each able bodied man capable of
work must carry a card issued by
bis employer and punched daily,
showing that the carrier of the card
has been regularly employed. The
city has, I understand, an ordinance
covering this matter, and any indi
vidual is required to show his card at
the request of a policeman. If he has
none, or only shows part time work
ing, he is liable to arrest unless he
gives satisfactory explanation.”
This plan or rule, if carried out
These gathering* are not intended
to be mass meetings in the general
sense of that term, but rather practi
cal conferences of men and women
who have come strongly into con
tact with critical labpr problems aid
desire to assist in its solution.
At the conclusion of each of these
general meeting Superintendent Wil

hardship on steady worker, but does
put tho loafer or half-time worker in
a position where he must either
work regularly in necessary industry,
or else u»ork for the-puilbc through
the medium of tho chaingang. The
idle man, white or black, must be
mdae to work in Georgia.”
“The initiative in this matter, in
each city or town, should be taken by
the local chamber of commerce or
board of trade where such exists,
Where such orngnizations don ot ex
ist, committees of leading citizens can
take it up. and put it in operation.”
“Then general plan can be adapt
ed to cover the agricultural districts
and rural conditions, in fact, in many
parts of the state there is greater pro
portion of idleness in country than in
town.”
'I recognize fully that certain abus
es can arise out of the enforcement
of this general plan, unless it is en
forced with absolute fairness and im
partiality.
The men who have the matter in
charge in each community must be
real leaders that the community re
spects, and in whose impartiality and
sense of Justice all have confidence.
If the local organization is of such a
character, there can be no just criti
cism.
“A great many negroes may look
on this as a scheme to hit the negro
alone, but it should be made apparent
to then egroes of each community
that they will get an absolutely square
deal, that its enforcement will be im
partial and applied to white and ne
gro alike.”
T“hree fourths, if no more of the
negroes will be in hearty accord with
the enforcement of this general plan
once the labor necessities of the war
situation are fully explained to them.
‘In communities where the negro
population is large they should have
representatives on the local board or
committee, either by appointing one
or more leading negroes on the com
mittee, or else have a separate com
mittee of representativen egroes act
ing in an advisory capacity, or in co
operation with the board or commit
tee;'
“As the labor sitnation grows more
acute, as it is bound to do as more
men ard taken for the Army, this
plan' or aomea imilar one will be put
in force, not only in Georgia bnt ev
ery other state. There is no glace in
the United States today for tho loaf
er or part-time worker, and there will
not be so long as this war lasts. It
b literally a case of “work or fight.”
“Tho services of the Georgia Cham-
her of .Commerce are open to any com
mercial organization or community
where labor condition! are unsatis
factory because of idleness or part-
time workers. Any information we
can give as to general plan b at the
disposal of any one whow ill either

“How can we solve the problem of
Farm Labor and the maintenance of
our own stats industrial plants while
at the same time patriotically yield
ing that labor which the Government
musth ave for the Essential War In
dustries?”
This constitutes the most import
ant question before the people today,.
Upon its successful answer depends
thew inning of thew ar with aright-
eous, enduring peace. We must mo
bilize the maximum man-power of the
nation—not only upon the fighting
front, but also to swell the ranks of
the National Industry Army every
where.
Three things must be done: First,
the menace of idle labor mast be
abolished and every able-bodied man
induced to work six days per week;
second, Uvery man must find a man’s
job and make way for women in class
es of employment where they may be
used; third, labor must be properly
distributed in order to- avoid conges-
jtion, which involves temporary idle-
' ness of just so much man-power, and
to promote the industrial parity of
all sections of the country;
With these things accomplished,
there will be no danger of a labor
shortage—at least not for months to
come. Bnt our task is acollosal one,
demanding the most energetic atten
tion. Soon we will have 2,000,000
men in France to feed, clothe and
equip, with other millions coming on.
At the same time we must continually
contribute to then ecessities of our
allies.
The state of Georgia is already or
ganized with offices of the U. S. Em-
ployment service at Atlanta, Augusta,
Columbus, Macon, Rome, Savannah
an Brunswick, to which men and wom
en may apply for employment, and
where employers may list their labor
needs. Both classes are urged to do
this.
District Superintendent Cliff Wil
liams, with headquarters at Meridian,
Miss., is now undertaking a campaign
of Intensive organization in this state
It is proposed to organize the people
of every county for self-help and gov
ernment aid by establishing a branch

League. Ita plans, purposes and meth
ods of organization will be explained
at a series of meetings to be held in
accordance with the following:
