Men of Military Age Being Discriminated Against New York, Juno 21. —Men of mil itary age are being discriminated apalnst by employers since the en actment of the selective draft and It is becoming increasingly difficult for them to obiain employment. Help wanted advertisements in the great daily papers show this, the greater majority calling for men "over 31" and otherwise indicating that preference will be given tc> the men not subject to the nation's call. The injustice and disloyalty of this was shown by Dr. Schuyler S. Wheeler, past president of the Amer ican Institute of Electrical En gineers, who is head of a firm em ploying several thousand workmen. "Employers only willing to hire n.en over the milita.-j age," he said, "are disloyal. un-American and un fair. In addition, tncy are short sighted, as only about one in twenty of the ten million men registered will be called. Refusal to employ men between the ages of 21 and 31 penalizes the very class on which the future of the nation depends. These men are the fathers of the ccming generation. "Men should be given employ ment on the same basis as before the war. If a man Is called from his v/ork to take arms to help 'make the world safe for dcmociacy' the em ployer should be yi'oud that one of his men has gone to the front and should wish him God-speed. The thought that his work may have to be done by a new man should never occur—there are millions who can not go! "If employers are not careful they will make it a disgrace for a j'ounp man to he called to the col ors. Instead, there should be rivalry between the shop 3 and factories as to which sends tho most men to the front, for only the 1 ost are wanted and the fittest to worK are the fit test to fight. Give the young men their chance! They took It when they registered—now, let the em ployers take their chance and give them work!" The movement to employ men re gardless of their ability to military service was started at the plant of the Crocker-Wheeler Company, elec trical machinery manufacturers of Ampere, N. J., and is being adopted by many of the other large con cerns.

GAULT Marysville, Pa., June 27.—Ap pointment of Dr. George W. Gault, of Marysvillle, as Coroner of Perry county for the second term holds much interest for the average Marys villlan and Perry countlan. Dr. Gault is said to furnish Perry county's only example of the office seeking the man. Several years ago, when no party nominated a candidate for coroner, a score of his friends elect ed him by writing his name on the Democratic ticket at the general election. Dr. Gault didn't want the job. He said so vehemently. He was prevailed upon, however, to lift his commission and file his bond. Dr. Gault's term expired on December 31, 1914. At the primaries of that year, no party nominated a candidate for the position. Neither did any group bother to elect a man by writ ing his name on the ballots, and the county has been going along with out a coroner ever since Gault's com mission expired. However, at a re cent inuvder in Duncannon, the fact was brought to light that the county had no coroner. Leading citizens de cided that it was highly improper for the county to have that important office with a "to let" sign out. Gault was seen; a petition was circulated and Governor Brumbaugh appointed •liii.
