DR. WILLIAM JENNIFER,
JJ. S. LABOR DEPARTMENT
REPRESENTATIVE IN CITY
Dr. William Jennifer, special ex-j
aminer from the Employment Divi-|
sion of the U. S. Labor Department'
?t Washington. D. C., is in the city
looxing im,o iaDor conditions witn a
view to formulating plans for mutual
work on the part of the farmer and
the farm laborer for the increase of
the nation's food products. The exmainer
represents the Employment
Service of the U. S. Department of
Labor, which is cooperating with the
agricultural department in an effort
to bring the American people to
a full realization of the grave duties
resting upon them as food producers
for the salvation of the allied forces
. in this terrible war.
- '? In an interview Examiner Jennifer
said:. "An equitable distribution of
all classes of labor is the aim of the
United States Department of Labor
and its efforts, through the work of
the 'Employment division,' have already
proven of great value to the
rorganized industries of this country.
crwing to the great shortage of food,
and its increased consumption, immediate
efforts are now being made
to stimulate an interest in such labor
as have to deal with the food products
of the farm. The desire is to help the
farmers and the farm laborer to a
mutual adjustment of their differences
and to a realization of the
grave duties resting upon them in
uniting their efforts to increase the
food products of the nation. In this
the most crucial period of the world's
history this nation has a right to conserve
its energies and direct its eeonomc
forces. In consideration of this
fact the government will tolerate no,
idleness. It is asking every pritvate
citizen to take his place willingly in;
the front trenches of domestic en-|
deavor before he is thrown in by the
iron hand of the law of neeessitv. Tho
idle man is inimical to the sUccess ofj
democracy and a menace to the Well-!
being of our commonwealth. Therefore.
plans are being perfected for
uniform industrial activity throughout
these United States.
We must assure the farmer of labor
support to increase his farm food
products. We should realize that if
the farmer fails in his food production
the result of his failure will be
the worst famine in the world's history.
The country is practically denuded
of farm labor, therefore the
farmer must draw and improvise his.
labor force from the people, not gain-j
fully employed, who live in the cities." i
Examiner Jennifer will address the
citizens here Friday night, Junt 21,,
at the A. M. E. church, his subject:)
"The Back to the Farm Movement,"
will be treated as a message from the
government to the people. The public ^
