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
