TO ENROLL MEN
FOR WAR WORK
Labor Is Needed in Shipyards and
Factories.
HIGHEST SPEED is NECESSARY
Unsuitable Demands Of the Large Ar
my at the Front Prompts Govern
nent to Insugurate Public
Service Reserve.

Washington.-A campaign to enroll
the country In the United States public
service reserve. with particular effort
to get men for the shipyards. will be
inaugurated by the United States de-
partment of labor, acting In co-opera-
ton with the shipping board, accord
Ing to statement made by William
Edwin Hall. national director of the
reserve. State directors are being APP
pointed and local organizations per
fected In every state.
THE primary object of this cam
paign," said Mr.. Hall. "is to obtain
large list of skilled and semi-skilled
men who are not now producing war
material or doing work useful to the
prosecution of the war. and to get
them into the shipyards and the fac
tories which must be maintained at the
highest speed if industry is to meet the
Unsuitable demands of large army at
the front.
''It appears from published reports,
such as the arrival of the Rainbow Di-
vision in France, that the number OF
American troops at or near the firing
line is constantly increasing. and we
civilians whom these troops have gone
over there to protect, would be shame

labor Needed in War Work.


"A number of the non-essentlal in
dustries are employing labor which is
urgently needed for war work-in the
shipyards, for example. One Is sur
prised to see how many kinds of work
ers are needed to build ship. The
shipping board has prepared for the
public service reserve Il list of SS dif-
ferent peace" occupations from which
men must-absolutely must-be drawn
In order that our tremendous shipbulld
ing can be carried out in time. You
often hear II said that ships will win
the war; but today ii is being put In
little different way by those who know
the situation: A failure on the part
of American civilians to build the nee
essary number of ships will make it
impossible for the United States to
continue to fight A lack of ships may
lose the war;
"The United States public service
reserve" explained Mr.. Hall, ''is work
ing at high speed today to obtain all
these men needed for sbipbuilding, for
making equipment. for gun manufac-
turing. for mechanical draughting. for
hundreds of other vital operations,
from the 'non-essential Industries
that is, from industries which are i'm
portant to a country at peace but, In
the final analysis, virtually unneces-
sary to country Mt war.
"Our effort is always to obtain the
workers for war industry without
crippling the peace industry. We will
not draw away an over-production of
employees from any one locality. from
any one industry. from any one en-
ployer. War means suffering. A con-
siderable disturbance Of industry is
Inevitable. The public service reserve
proposes to bring about the necessary
shifting of labor with just ns little dis
turbance as possible. We want no in
dustry and no employer to have to
bear any more than a fair. legitimate
share of the burden which the per-
emptory demands of war throw upon
all of u.s.
Differs From Army Enlistment.
Men who enroll in the United
States public service reserve stare
their trade and suggest other classes
of work they could do, If necessary. for
the war. The enrolled men will re-
main at their present jobs and when
they are notified that an opportunity
TO put them into war work has arisen,
they are under no obligation to accept
the new Jobs unless satisfied with
wages and conditions. Thus their en-
rollment in the reserve differs from en-
listment In the army where the soldier
has no choice but to obey.
Every day more and more Ameri-
can workers are beginning to feel In
their hearts that In this critical period
of the nations history they should be
devoting their energies to the actual
war needs of their country BY en-
rolling In the United States public re-
serve they enjoy happier conscience,
