US. Employment Service
BY L. c. hUEsMANN, Federal Labor Director.

The successful operation Of the plan of the
United States Employment Service depends upon
the patriotism expressed both by employees and
employers. There is no desire on the part of the
Service in Indiana to coerce any manufacturer of
non-war plant to give up his or it's business ex-
cept insofar as such business completes with the
government plan.
War industries need men badly, in Indiana
and in the nation. We ask employers engaged in
the non-war work to get war work at once, wher-
ever possible. If they can't get war work and
their neighbor, who has war work is held behind
in his production, the agents of this service will
ask him to contribute some of his men.
Community War Labor boards which are
formed to assist in all transfers of labor-the
workers Of our Service-are instructed to try
first, to obtain men from industries classed by
Provost Marshal General Crowder, as least es-
sential Community War Labor boards are di.
rected not to take men arbitrarily from any in.

dustry. They are given list promulgated Dy
the District of Columbia Community War Labor
board as suggestion of the industries to which
they may well give first consideration in their
recruiting campaign to get the men needed IN
war work. This appeal is not limited to these
industries, as there are others which are not
completely essential either to the civilian popula-
ton or to the war program.
The Service in Indiana wants everyone who
is not in war PREDICTION to seek it, and the ser
vice will assist in the transfer
''War work" is interpreted as production
which is delivered directly or indirectly to any
government department. This includes also
farming and mining and railroad work.
The Service in Indiana will be guided abso-
utely in its decisions by the orders from the Di-
rector General of the Employment Service at
Washington, John B. Densmore. It is the con-
tinuing policy of the Service and its business to
appeal to the patriotism Of all workers to confne
themselves to war work, as long as war work is
in need of them.
One of the principal objects of this whole
movement is to prevent the economic waste that
comes from the large turnover of labor We
propose to use all legitimate means in our power
to encourage workingmen in the conviction that
it is their patriotic duty to put in full time sc
that production may be increased.
