The I'endleton Woolen Milla aa well aa all other mills In the country will be required by the government to help equip the big- army being rais ed, and all mill employe will be ex pected to remain in their poaitiona rather than enliat. Thia much was made plain in a letter received this morning by C. M. Bishop of the Pen dleton and Waahougai mills from Colonel John T. Knight. who has charge of tile quartermaater corps of the western division. v lt la a grave miataJte, he write, for mill employe to enliat in the army navy or marine corp a they are needed much more m their present positions. H adds that It is just a much the part of patriotism for them to remain a part of the army of pro duction which must supply the army at the front as it is to bear a gun. ani he urges mill operators to urge upon their employes the necessity- of stay ins; by their positions. While in San Francisco last week. Mr. Bishop called upon Colonel Knight and was advised by him that the government would expect the mill to give half of their production to the army. Already the Washougal mills have been started upon the work of manufacturing; army blankets. Later it may be necessary to operate the mills day and night, to meet tlw demands of the government. The Bishop mill had already contracted their full output but like other mills will have cancel some of the con tract to fill the government order. None of the employes of the Pen dleton mills have enlisted yet but five experienced men. inciudtna; Harry Krebs, formerly of Pendleton, have gone from the Washougal mills to en list. It is possible that these men will be required to return to their posi tions. Borland waa handicapped a great deal during the first period ol me war o ne '-. hands volunteering ior ne.w and later had to brlnff these men bar to awirt in keeping up production. - ?
