4 UNCLE SAM TO GET LABORERS Plans For the Joint Action of National and State Au thorities Made • Just how the United States De partments of Labor and Post Office arfe going to co-operate to get hands for farmers, is attracting attention now at the Capitol, where the sub ject has been a cause of real con cern. According to Washington, the La bor department has made arrange ments to utilize the Post Office De partment of the country, together with the rural mall carriers, and will thus have a system of 100,000 government employes acting as labor agents. A simple plan is announced HE THOUGHT HE HAD TYPHOID Felt So Weak, Tired an<l All Run Down He Was Scared "I was all run down," says Al. Morrltt, the popular barber, who liv*s at 157 Paxton street, Harrls burg, Pa., "and it had me worried tor I was afraid that I was in for a spell of sickness and I feared that the typhoid germs had tackled me. "I had heard about Tanlac and I wondered if it would fix me up so I got busy and started taking this remarkable medicine. "It certainly did fix me up in yreat shape. "Today I'm feeling Up-top. I eat more than any two men should, I >leep like a top and I can do a big day's work without getting tired out. I am no longer afraid that 1 am on the list for typhoid and I feel so strong now that I could give it a good fight." Tanlac is now being introduced here at the George Gorgas Drug Store.

STROUSE—EVER NEW—3IO MARKET ST. ■H MONDAY EVENING, which, if labor is available as the department says it is, should be of great assistance. The plan Is briefly as follows: Each rural carrier and every post master will be supplied with applica tion blanks which farmers needing help can All out. The farmers are asked to fill out such blank stating wages offered, length of employment offered, character of farm work to be performed and the living condi tions offered. These blanks need only be dropped into the rural mail bo*. The carrier will take them to the local post otfice where the local postmaster, being an agent of the local farm labor office, will endeavor to fill the calls from the available local supply. If he Is unable to do so, he sends the application to the nearest larger postotflce that has been designed as a district office, which will draw on the surplus workers in the nearest towns and cities. As applications are received, the postmasters will display a no tice in the office, stating the number of men wanted and the wages offer ed, but omitting the name of the farmer desiring the help. In addition to the blanks for farm ers, each postmaster and carrier will have blanks for applicants for farm work. These will be handled In a similar way. The extent of the sys tem can be appreciated when it is remembered that there are about 55,000 fourth-class post offices in the country, each of which will act as branches of the Employment Serv ice. In addition, there are nearly 44,p00 rural carriers. The county agents of the country will also act with the postal officials in this work. The Department saya of its plan: "The success of the farm labor supply system depends almost en tirely upon the co-operation which the farmer himself gives. He must notify the local postmaster of Ills labor requirements in time." PRESIDENT CLEPPFR RESIGNS Columbia, Pa., March 11.—Henry B. Clepper, a newspaperman and for fourteen consecutive years president of the Keystone Fire Company, of Columbia, has tendered his resigna tion. He has been commissioned lieutenant of the second platoon of Company L, Pennsylvania Reserve Militia, a ndwill devote his time to military duty. "INSIDE WORKS" CODE DRAFTED Industrial Board Moves to Prevent Accidents by Mill Locomotives A state code to govern operation of locomotives, shifting engines, "dinkeys" and cars within industrial plants from considerations of safety is being discussed at a meeting of members of the State Industrial Board and a committee representing men familiar with such operations at the Capitol and will likely be pro mulgated during the summer. This code will apply to scores of plants as it will affect not only those hav ing their own engines and cars, but where rolling stock of lines enters for inside work. The committee to formulate a code for safety and sanitation in the printing code has been called for a meeting in Philadelphia on March 15. This ode will be one of the most extensive drawn since the State Board began to establish regulations for various trades in which both employers and employes are repre sented. The new state codes governing use of cranes in all kinds of estab lishments; all types of scaffolds, con struction and operation of both In side and outside kinds, one of the most complete ever drawn in this country; and moving picture ma chines which handle inflammable films have been issued. The latter establishes the system for licensing operators and simplifies a number of matters in the act of 1917, rela tive to booths for such appliances which have been printed and are about to become effective. The crane code was redrawn following a series of special conferences. The proposed code to govern eye protection, which will regulate use of goggles, will be considered by a committee in charge to meet in Har risburg March 19. HXRRIBBURG TELEGKXPH DRY FEDERATION SEEKS HARMONY Pittsburgh Statement Says That All Forces For Amend ment Should Unite That the Dry Federation of Penn sylvania will strive to consolidate "dry" forces of the. state, was evi denced in a statement given out in Pittsburgh yesterday, by the execu tve committee consisting of William E. Porter, of New Castle; 11. 11. Negley, of Pittsburgh; George Kan kin, of Wilkinsburg; John E. Gill, of Franklin; Mrs. Ella M. George, of Beaver Falls; W. N. AlcNair, of Pittsburgh; J. Denny O'Neil, of Mc- Keesport; the Rev. Charles Scan lon, of Pittsburgh; Lex N. Mitchell, of Punxsutawney; the Rev. R. A. Hutchinson, of Pittsburgh; the Rev. Rufus W. Miller, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. J. O. Miller, of Pittsburgh. The statement indicates that the "drys" intend to prosecute a vigor ous campaign for the election of a majority of the next Legislature, which will be pledged to ratify the national prohibition amendment. The statement reads as follows: "From the detailed reports which we have received from every part of the state, we are able to say with confidence that a majority of the members of the Legislature elected this year, will be pledged to ratify the national prohibition amendment. To make a "dry" victory certain we propose to raise a fund of SIOO,OOO and expend it in giving publicity to the "dry" candidates In the various legislative and senatorial districts. We wish to lay great emphasis up on this fact. The voters of Penn sylvania will vote this year upon a "dry" or "wet" state, just the same as if they voted yes or no. Every vote for a legislative candidate, is an indication of the voter's prefer ence with regard to the liquor traf fic. For every member who is elected will certainly vote on this question when he gets to Harris burg. "All the "dry" forces will be be hind the same set of candidates. There will be no division in the ranks. All the agencies in the state which desire the elimination of the iiquor traffic, are working in har mony, and a divided house, no mat ter how much It may be fostered by our common enemy, is not possible. The Importance of the 'dry' move ment completely overshadows the personalities of individuals con nected with It and the prospects of success are so bright that we are determined that notlling shall pre vent the presentation of a solid front. "There will be a meeting at Har risburg during March, of commit tees representing all the 'dry* agen cies in the state, for the purpose of laying the ground for joint agree ments on all candidates. This meet ing is the out-growth of the success ful convention of the Dry Federa tion, held at Harrisburg, February 14th, in which were represented practically all the counties of the state, a great impetus to the 'dry' movement resulting therefrom. 'We are taking practical steps to make sure that our voters qualify themselves to vote in the elections this year, but we wish to inform all persons interested in a 'dry' Penn sylvania, that it is highly important that they participate In the primar ies of May 21st, as in many districts the issue will be decided then. All residents of cities of the first and second class, who did not register last fall must do so on April 17th. The date for third class cities is May Ist and for all boroughs and townships March 19 th and 20th. These are the only registration days for the spring primary. "It should be borne In mind by all voters that the law requires en rollment according to party prefer ence and that a voter not so enrolled cannot vote a party ballot at the primary. Voters who are not en rolled or those who wish to change their enrollment may do so on the registration days. "With the resolution adopted by Congress submitting national prohi bition to a vote of the legislatures of the various states only a few months old, eight of the 36 required have already ratified the amendment. These states are Mississippi, Vir ginia, Kentucky. South Carolina, North Dakota, Montana, Maryland and Texas, and they are the only states which have so far voted at all on the question. Of these eight states, three —Kentucky, Maryland and Texas—have been classed as wet. As 27 of the the 48 states are already dry a gain of three is ap parent and only six more are requir ed to attain the desired number of 36. We believe the time is ripe for Pennsylvania to join the majority."
