10 NATION'S LABOR UNDER OFFICIAL RULE AUGUST 1 War Industries Are Warned to Employ Through No Other Agency Philadelphia, July 15.—Govern- ) j nieni control of common labor j e tluoughout the country will become j t effective August 1. After that date I t the United States employment serv- J e ice will be the exclusive agency i 1 through which common labor may J] be employed by war Industries hav- i ing on their payrolls 100 or more * persons. This is Inclusive of all em- p ployes, regardless of their status. While common labor only Is spec- i ,< :lied in the preliminary statement is- j t sued by Edgar C. Felton. federal di- I I rector for Pennsylvania, similar res- t illations governing employment of ' all skilled labor probably will be is- sued later. The new regulations r mean elimination of every other . H ineihod of employing common labor, j u Private agencies virtually will be • 1 wiped out. Pennsylvania's lafor distribution i { will be handled from the employment c service headquarters, on the second t floor of the Finance building. Mr. v Felton, who formerly was president of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, j •will have associated with him as ad ministrators, John C. Frazee and j Henry V. Gummere. c Agencies Already Opened Preliminary to actual operation of £ the government service there have ! already been established in this city j ] seven employment agencies. Six | \ more will be operated in the near j j tuture. In the state there will be i t about fifty employment bureaus, j twenty-two of which are now operat ing. Those to be opened later will "be scattered through the principal c industries sections according to the * apparent needs of eaen locality. ' Mr. Felton's preliminary state- t ment of the purpose of the United > States employment service in regard j } to the employment of common la- ! r bor follows: "owing to the great loss of man ! ' power resulting from constant mi- j * grution of labor from one commun- . ( ity to another, and from one plant I to another in the same community, the United States government j through the United States employ- I j ment service, in conformity with j j the proclamation of the President, j . issued June 17, 1918, will become;' effective after August 1 next, the ex- [ elusive agency through which com- j mon labor may be employed by war j industries having on their payrolls J a total of 100 or more persons. This total is inclusive of all employes, re- I , gardless of their status. 1 J Scouts One of a Job "On and after that date all war j • industries employing a total of 100 j ] or more persons in need of common < lalor will be required to make ap- j i plication therefore to the United i ] States Employment Service. War in- j ! dustries coming under this ruling j ! must not employ labor scouts to so- | 1 licit common labor: they must not | i advertise for common labor; they [ 1 must not contract with private em- | ! ployment agencies for common la- j: bor nor engage in any manner ex- j cept by application to the United States Employment Service to ob- i tain such labor. "They, however, will be permitted | temporarily. without reference to ! the United States Employment Serv- , ice, to employ persons applying at , the gates of the plant, but will he , forbidden to solicit prospective em ployes to make such application. "The government will see that all industries essential to prosecution of the war are adequately supplied i with common labor, and such steps ) as may be necessary to accomplish j this will be taken. "Employes are asked to co-oper- j ate to the fullest extent with the United States Employment Service in . carrying out these arrangements." Otiier 'Agencies Co-operate ' Acting in conjunction with Mr. | Felton's oltice are the United States Department of Labor, the Pennsyl- J *ania Department of Labor and In •luytry and the Pennsylvania Com mittee of Public Safety. Jacob Lightner is superintendent of the state employment offices at Harris burg. Preliminary plans contemplate systematic distribution of labor. Each tirm will he required to place its requisition for common labor with the nearest local office of the United States Employment Service. That office will try to supply the plant's needs from the immediate vicinity, if there is a shortage of la bor in any district that fact will be reported to the state clearing house and immediate steps will be taken to supply the labor from tome other i district having a surplus. Daily re pot ts will be exchanged between the various offices. The service will be free to all employers. Later, it was announced, an at tempt may be made to create senti ment that will draw unskilled or common labor from nonessential in dustries to essential war industries. At present there is no intimation that such labor will be conscripted. Call to Y. M. C. A. Service in War Accepted by 100 Men Prominent in Business Philadelphia, July 15.

HAJRRISBTJRG TELEGRAPH RAILROAD RUMBLES NEW RECORD FOR FREIGHT TRAFFIC Pcnnsy's June Business Was Heaviest in Many Months; Two Important Points In the establishment of a new reight hauling record on the Pennsy Riring June, both the middle and Philadelphia divisions were big fac tors. Records were taken at Rewis town Junction and at Columbia, rhis made it possible to secure an i accurate estimate of ull freight j Handled east and west. All monthly records for movement'! >f freight cars past Columbia, Pa., i jn the Pennsylvania Railroad were tiroken. The total number of cars massing In. the month was 250,322 —! ?nough to make a qontinunus train nore than 2000 miles long. Sev enty miles of freight passed daily, he daily average movement being 234 1 cars, or the equavalent of one •ar every ten seconds. Both the month's total and the daily average Teated new high marks for move ment of freight traffic, not only past ""olumbia, but at all the other obser vation points. Heaviest Day The heaviest movement for uny single day was on June 10, when )531 cars passed. This exceeds all previously reported one-day niove rients anywhere on the Pennsyl vania Railroad. The second high ?st recorded movement was made on May 12, also at Columbia, with 9173 ?ars passing. The third best record ivas made at Lewistown Junction on December 7, 1907, the movement on that day being 9027 cars. This re mained unsurpassed for more than ten years. The freight moving through 'olumhia in June exceeded 6,000,000 tons, or more than 1200 ordinary steamship cargoes of 5000 tons each. Roughly, forty vessel loads of freight l day were hauled past this point luring the month. Of the 250,322 cars moving past 'olumbla in June, 138.532 were loaded and 111,790 were empty. The tlifference between the loaded and empty movements, easthound and westbound, was very striking. Out jf 110,931 cars moved eastbound. 106.342 were loaded and only 4589 we're empty, while in the westbound movement of 139,391 cars there were snly 32,190 loads and 107,201 cars were empty.

DRIVE LAUNCHED ALONG 65-MILE FRONT [Continued from First Page.] Hun Artillery Active ! Last night a terrible artillery fire ! was loosed against the allied lines | from Chateau Thierry, on the west, ■ to Maison de Champaigne, north of Massignes, on the east. , For hours the entente allied lines ; i were under a tempest of the most I 'tremendous character. Not only wa*| >! the actval battle area under bom-, jbardment but the towns and cities i far behind the lines were made tar ■ | gets for great ten bnd twelve-inch | projectiles fired from what appears I j to be naval siege guns brought up be ■ i hind the German positions. tj During the past week, it has been "I rumored thrt the resumption of the ■j German offensive would witness a u long range bombardment of places ! ! which would heretofore be consid ' ered at a safe distance from the ! front. These rumors proved to be 1 true. Germans Close Quiet Section The lay world had expected the | German main effort to be loosed | against the l>ne from the Marne to ' the Alsne, north of Chateau Thierry; 1 in the Pieardy sector, towards Abbe • vllle or further north, in the Lys sec- I j tor against the channel ports. Along : | this line the allies have been daily I I improving theh lines and preparing for the new drive. But the Germans chose a sector I which, except for a surprise attack t around Rheims, late in June, has r| been quiet since the offensive lannch • I ed on the Aisne on May 27 came to ■I a standstill. East of Rheims and t i North of Chalons there has been but 1 little fighting of significance for a - long time. This line, of which Rheims may be i considered the keystone, was chosen I for the reason that information ; might have been received by the ! Germans that it was less strongly ' J held than sectors along the front nearer Paris. Thus it might be rea sonable to expect that a greater ter j ritory could be overrun there at a | smaller expense of men and ma- I terials than on the lines where the allies are to be very strong. Strike For Railroad The Germans hold the north bank of the Marne for a distance of i'.bout twenty miles east of Chateau Thi erry. Tlv>ir line leaves the Marne near the village of Dormana and runs off to the northeast of Rhcims, whero it turns abruptly to the southo ist and runs down the valley of the Vesle river to the village of IJ:I Ponipelle, where it turns eastward and runs in a relatively straight line to Verdun. Malson de Champaigne, the eastern limit of the present bat tle. is thlrt,y-one miles west of Ver dun. Located back of the allied line fcast of RheiniH is the railroad which supplies the French forces at Verdun and the Americans at St. Mihiel with food and supplies. In this sector, too. are the important cities of Cha lons. Epernuy and Bar-le-Duc, all Ihrec of which are important supply centers for the allied forces. The | railroad was interrupted to some ex tent by the German advance to the Marne between Rheims and Chat eau Thierry, but It is still a very im portant artery for the allied fqrees. The only other fighting of moment I from the front has occurred on ihe i Vlllers-Bretonneux sector, in front | of Amiens, where the British have Improved their positions.
