WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. The fact
that ttiere is n shortage in war work
of one million unskilled laborers and
that the reserve of skilled, workers is
exhausted, developed todaj' at a con
ference of field agents of the federal
employment service.
Further curtailment of non-essenlinl
production is planned to release men
for war work.
The labor shortage is so serious that
completion of a number of important
war projects for the army and navy
it; beMig delayed, it was said nt the
conference.
"Tlie timo has come for the entire
nation to realize that business as us- spiritual
tial is no longer possible," Nathan A.
Smith, assistant director of the em
ployment service, tofd the conference.
"If we are to end the war quickly,
the production of luxurious and non
essentials in this couotry must come
to an end. Tt is a question of ending
the war quickly or having it dragged
on indefinitely."
On a rocont visit to Texas I

should say something to his con.
gregatlon at tho morning service,
but I was surprised to have an
urgent call from a camp meeting
IS miles away, to speak there lu
the afternoon, and I was very re
luctant to go, because I was tiif,d,
but I could not fruso a call from
a group or farthfjis In my own
state. I asked tho messenger who
brought the Invitation whether It
would bo proper for me to Bay any
thing regarding tho agricultural
problem, und be assured mo thai
the people, regarded tho agricul
tural program as a part of tho war
program, and that I would bo at
full libei ly to sepak about It as I
might see fit.
I reached tho meeting just as the
congregation had arisen for prayer.

rorvor in the usual way of evan

coming from every quarter of the
