SALEM CLUB IS T RESERVE LABOR Haines of Men Fitted to Work at Government Building , ; Program Wanted The Salem ; Commercial club haa another Job. It is now the enroll ment office for Marion county of the United States public service reserve of the department of labor. Namw will bo listed of all men who are able to -work at shipbuilding or do other mechanical work necessary In the- government's war- construction program. The public service enrolls as mem bers men of 'all classes who want to serve to win the war. It asks them merely to state their readiness and to put on record a brief descilptlon of their training: and ability. It im vxses absolutely no obligation. Whn the reserve sets out to set men -for the government, it merely notify those of its members who teem qual ified- telling them all about the job. tho wages, and' the terms of: em ployment. The individual member may take it or leave it. as he lines. All that is required of him is that he look at the question, from a patriotic standpoint.. Tho .reserve has no connection with any troubles between labor and capital. It will not undertake to speak either for employees or em ployers. It will not us " influ ence to foster the cause ot eitiler. It alms simply to have a great re eervolr of men ready to go. at the suggestion of the department ot labor, when the terms -of employ ment are reasonable and satisfactory, to the posts where the country needs them .- most. It will, too,1 endeavor to use every , possible means to so distribute the burden that no Indust ry will be crippled or unfairly taxed to meet the needs of war. Membership in the reserve does not affect the draft. ' What forms of- active labor in war Industry will entitle a man to exemption is for tho army to determine. ' Lieutenant O- I.

' "Some of the boy and girls this year, besides raising pigs, are also raising sheep, and are confident that under the new demand of the gov ernment for the production of more wool, and the use of spring lambs on the table instead of so much beef and cork, they will be equally sue cesstully with the lambs, s as with pigs, ; and the advantage in raising lambs is, they can make pets' oi them, even: they don't take them to school, as Mary did." .

Insufficient . production , or freight congestion, and after , seven week of cold stormy weather little head way has been made in working out blockades. Resides, what might ti termed regular business is subserv ient to war work and while those thus engeged are opsimlstic enough. producers of less imperative needed products are somewhat unsettled by the thought that purely civilian bus iness may have to undergo further restriction. Nevertheless, there is a strong disposition f to"" speed n on war work when, and as conditions become propitious and in a general sense there is sufficient buying of aomestic staple lines to make np a goodly aggregate. Unfortunately the stream of orders is considerably restricted ny the fact that manufac turers, particularly of textiles, find it 'necessary to cut down the number or oraers accepted. In short, the question Is not one of getting busi ness out or oraers accented. In short the question is not one of . getting business ' but of making even fairly prompt deliveries, and buyers who now , throng the principal markets with a strong desire to Iget staple textiles at advancing; prices are hav. Ing the fact forced upon them that the mills are chary about booking business for delivery in ; accordance with the wishes of purchasers. There is also more or less evidence of th-5 ultimate .consumer exerclsinsr con servatism and at the same time there is c-noiifch actnal reduction . in civil ian demand fcr men's goods to make for irregularity. But against theao manifestations are the ' conceded shortages of staples, the fear of atill higher prices and the patent pros perity of the working classes and agricultural communities Con?e quenily while retail trade hardly measures up to normal, many- final purveyors, recognising the difficulty ,of replacing stock, are not keen About conducting clearance sales.
