WORK SLACKER

Who Lose Jobs 1
Eliminating the "work slacker" is
the new job which theaAmerican Leg
ion has taken upon itself, acting in
con junction with the War Depart
ment's chain of employment bureaus
throughout the country. This type of
ex-service man, while not numerous
is Occasionally a aerious detriment to
the work of placing ex-soldiers and
sailors in satisfactory jobs. Their at
titude of shiftlessness after getting
the place causes dissatisfaction among
employers who are really trying to
help,- and give a black eye to other
service men who stil lneed work.
Practically all the posts of the Leg
ion now have employment committee.
In some cases these committees hnvt
token over al lthe task of finding job
for their fellow service men. In "oth
er localities they cooperate with the
War Department. In Bridgeport, Conn,
where the work slSbker has been a
serious evil, the Legion keeps a spec
ial file of such cases of repeating in
jobs. As a rule a heart-to-heart talk
from a cormade in arms haa been
enough. In other cases a refractory
man haa been denied the services of
the employment office altogether.

HAMMOND MILLS
MAY CLOSEDOWN
Shortage of Cars May Force
Suspension; 700 Men -Would

, The present car shortage presents
a serious situation to the lumber mills
in this district and moreparticular the
Hammond Lumber Company, which is
the largest lumber manufacturer trib
utary to Albanyi Unless some relief
in the car situation is given immedi
ately thia large plant will be closed

Local retail yards in this city are
turning down outside orders in this
territory as it cannot make immediate
delivery, owing to tha present condi
tion. ITnle immediate relief is eiv-
en this institution in the way of cars
to move the stock they have on hand
it will be obliged to shut down indefi
nitely, which meana a great loss to
local merchants, who derive a sub
stantial revenue from the wages paid
mill labor.
It is stated that while some manu
facturers in other lines of business
seem to be supplied with cars, the
lumber mills are experiencing extreme
difficulty in getting anything near
their present requirements. With this
serious situation something should
certainly be done to keep such plants
in operation, it is declared. -

"The citizens of Liaa County,
and particularly the citixeaa of --
Albany have expressed themselves
aa being very desirona of having
the Fair transferred front Sdo to
the County Seat. The. location of
the Fair at the County Seat will
be of particular benefit to the citi
zen and merchant of Albany. .
It will mean that annually there
will be held a gathering in thia city
of practically all the citizens of thia
county. . Thia gathering will last from
three, to five daya, and will give the
merchants an opportunity to ahow and
dispose of their ware, such aa they
have not had in the history of Albany.

Thus nine the preamble of a spirited
statement of the fair committee this

Continuing, the-statement
says:

laxly benefited by having the Fair lo-
caiea nere. ine amount 10 oe raisea
has been apportioned among the citi

committees will convass the city. The
men making the canvass are business
men, their time is valuable, and they
have no time to argue with the citi
zens of Albany aa to whether or not
they shall do their part. Surely there
is no citizen or business man in Al
bany who is willing that comeone else
should pay his share. Let each one do
his part cheerfully and promptly, and
it will greatly lighten the work of
the Committees who are out soliciting.
j We can get the Fair no other way. We
all want it. Practically every merch
ant will get his money back the first
year and possibly more. Let's take
hold of the situation hopefully and
willingly, and with a djtormination
that each one will do his part. Assist
the committees in every way possible.
A ood up-to-date County Fair located
at the County Seat, with the whole
county behind it means better, and big
ger things for our County, and better
and bigger things for Albany."
