Ford & Calhoun 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.

INI \bur Blood Needs ZliPN 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 call at onr offices fat Atlanta or write “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.

These meetings are to be held as follows: “July 22, at Columbus; July 23 at Macon ;July 24 at Brunswick; July 25 at Savannah; July 20 at Augusta; July 27 at Atlanta.
