These delegates algo told how the workers are co-operat ing ivith employers in such places, doing all, in. their power to save every little thing and every moment about the mills, in an effort to reduce to' the very minimum any loss that might be incurred through operation at this time, , Other delegates, presented the view that the manufacturers are not content with a profit, that Would have been considered a good profit before the war. It was recalled that the textile manufacturers made f?prii 100 to 500 arid 600 per cent during the war,, and that, time of tremen dous profits went to, the manufac turers’ Heads, and they can never be satisfied with a , reasonable profit again. It was pointed out that if the manufacturers would sell at a reasonable prtffit, thereby resdudhg the prices of the ihanufact'ur’ed5 goods, that the buying piiblic would consume more of the goods, which in turh, would create a bigger de mand arid thereby re-establish th<? industry. Saturday’s meeting was the -big gest meeting ever held by the Joint Council, and rerports showed that the workers have been busy organizing durihg the period of curtailhieiit. M'ooresville reported nearly one1 hundred new members during the month of March* President C. P. Barringer Was present and Was very much inter ested throughout the business ses sion of the meeting, which begafi at 4 o'clock,in the afternoon., , The next meeting wjll. be held o,h the last Saturday.in April in Bock Hill, S, C. .The local union th^re pwns its own hall, and it is expected that a. large crowd will go to. the South Caroina city, as it is the first time the Council m’eeting. has gone to that state in several months. lMMDGRATKW mmAnoTLrnm . < GROUP OF NlMEMEAStlREBFAVO^Efe (Continued from l*age One.) ievery industrial city and town in the United States. “There are many members of Congress who would Vote for the complete restriction program, but the number is not sufficient to enact such legislation. The evidence given before the Immigration Committee is of such a nature that even the hard boiled committeemen were astound ed. If a new immigration law is not enacted before before June 30, 192-i, the law of 1917 will ^become opera tive. Under that law immigration to this country is almost unlimited. Before the passage of the three per cent law- 100,000 immigrants were cpming here each mbnth. Secretary of Labor Davis has said there »re 10,000,000 people in Europe who are anxious to come to America. It will thus be seen that the danger ahead of the ifoited States can not be lightly treated.” , Conscription Would Force Labor to ,, “Be Good." In its discussion of the proposed conscription measure the committee says . that , the military committee of the two Houses of Congress have under consideration bills providing ‘'for the conscription of labor and material resources” in case of na tional emergency. “A ‘national emergency’ ” says the Legislative Committee, “covers many possibilities and may come in peace as well as war time. That provision in the bills refers on ly to the uhorganized^mTlit'ia. “It it only in cace of war or when the President shall judge that war is imminent that he is authorized to ‘determine, proclaim and conscript the material re sources, industrial organizations and services over which govern ment control is necessary to the successful termination of such emergency.’ “Ahother clause in the bill au thorizes the President ‘to take such steps as may be necessary to stabi lize prices of services and of all com modities declared to be essential, whether such services*and commodi ties are required by the government or by the civilian population.’ This clause authorizes the President to fix wages of labor and prices of commodities. War College Began Plans Two Years Ago. “It has been known for *two years,” the report, concludes, “that the Army War College at Washing ton was investigating how far legis lation could go in conscripting labor. A representative called at the office of the American Federation of Labor and was told that labor would oppose any conscription legislation. “It may be well to quote Maj. Gen. Hhnson E. Ely, the Command ant of the Army War College, who broadcasted his speech to 343d Di vision Army Engineers, M,arch 13, over the radio.

If the man agement was not disposed to do this, coercive measures would be invoked such as priority in freight shipments, cutting off fuel, supplies, etc.” •v I'l/tirt it's . ►. - ) f f. v m iju-a ON SCREEN AT HALL Carpenters of Charlotte were ’given an urisual treat,last Priday evening when K. H. McKenzie, representing the United States Gypsum company, entertained the carpenters and theif friends with motion pictures, showing the erecti.on of^h ouse with Sheet rock, a new. msSflbjuai that is rapidly takihg a leading-position in the build ing material .line. Sheetrock is a’fTre proof wall* hoard, txvade, from.Tcfck, and M*r. McKenzie stated it wm not'' warp, resists heat and cold and sound. Mechanics use the saw and nails in Sheetrock just like in timber. It takes decoration of paint, paper or panels. The motion pjigtures were of es pecial interest to the carpenters, as experienced men were the “actors” in the screen production of the house construction. . B. F. \VitKers, corner of Fourth and South College Streets,' is digfrib utor for Sheetrock in the Carofihjfc, and this popular building .mate'rpil firm, one of the oldest in. the di^, gives hearty approval to Sheetrock gs a building material.
