Oklahoma City Okla Sept
4 — In view of a shortage of a
million unskilled laborers in
the required man-power for
war industries Oklahoma will
be combed for laborers as soon
as the present supply of volun-
teers is exhausted
In view of some uncertainty
as to the jurisdiction of the
community labor boards of
the United States Employment
Service Nathan A Smyth as-
sistant director general at
Washington has issued a sta-
tement of which the following
is a part : “The community la-
bor boards are charged with
the responsibility of detrmin-
ing the methods which shall
govern the U S Employment
Service in attempting to re-
Oklahoma upon his return in cruit for war work men from
November giving the people
of this State the benefit of his
observation It is his plan to
make an address in the princi-
pal cities and towns of Okla-

JACKSON— COBB
The marriage of Edward
Jackson of this city and Miss
Irene Cobb of Wynnewood oc-
curred in Wynnewood Sun-
day afternoon' and the newly
married couple arrived in
Marietta on the five o'clock
train Sunday afternoon Mr
Jackson is the ginner at
the Mitchell Gin in this
and while he has lived here
only a few weeks he has made
many friends Mrs Jackson
was formerly toll operator at
the Southwestern Bell Tele-
phone Co’s office in Wyrne-
wood and was quite popular
?n her home town
industries which are not di-
rectly connected with the
prosecution of the war The
power to determine priority
among industries and to close
up non-essentials’ industries by
shutting off supplies rests with
the War Industries Board
“The United States Employ-
ment Service will follow the
priorities board of the War In-
dustries Board and the Em-
ployment Service through all
its agencies will keep in sys-
tematic and constant co-operation
with the other divisions of
the government concerned
with the man-power andmate-
rial program”
Oklahoma to date has more
than met all quotas for work-
men Respecting the “Work
or Fight” order Secretary of
War Eaker says: “A man who
gets an industrial exemption
I by reason of his being an indis-
pensable operative in an indis-
pensable industry ceases to
have that exemption as soon as
he ceases to be an operative in
that industry” The boards
have never applied that in the
case of bonafide disputes be-
tween labor as an aggregate
and employers as an aggre-
cityjgate but they have always
prevented the man taking ref-
uge behind industrial exemp-
tion and then discontinuing
the work for which he receiv-
ed exemption so that the ap-
parent purpose of the senate
amendment i& already in operation”
to keep every person in the
state warm next winter and
this wood would be cut and
sold if it could be transported
and a market for it found
This is the information that
comes to the office of P A
Norris State Fuel Administra-
tor The fact is however
there is not enough railroad
equipment in the state to haul
wood It takes about twice as
many cars and twice as many
locomotives to haul a supply of
wood as it would to haul the
same amount of fuel in the
form of coal Since coal and
wood are on the same side of
the state it is evident that coal
must be transported instead of
the wood
“The Fuel Administration
explains Mr Norris “is urging
the use of wood instead of
coal There must be some sub-
stitution but this substitution
should be made in those parts
of the state which are adja-
cent to a wood supply In
other words we are urging the
citizens to”- use wood only
where the wood can be hauled
to them by wagon or truck
“Some wood will be shipped
and the Fuel Administration
will not object to the use of
closed cars for such purposes
The more wood that is hauled
in closed or flat cars (not coal
cars) the easier the fuel sit-
uation next winter will be
“A cord of oak hickory or
most of the hard wood in Ok-
lahoma is equal in fuel value
to a ton of coal The person
who burns coal with wood ava-
ilable is not giving the loyal
support to the war activities
he ought to give Every pound
of coal is needed and the work
of every laborer is needed in
order to prosecute the war
with vigor The farmer 1r
the man living in town who
cuts a load of wood and re-
leases a corresponding amount
of coal is "serving in a’ very ef
fective way” ' J
