Des Moines. Aug. 2.-When the state
labor advisory board meets Monday 1t
will face the task of fixing the labor
quotas for each community in the state
required Of that community to meet the
call for unskilled labor just announced
by the government.
J. h. Densmore, director general of
the United States employment service.
with headquarters at Washington, has
fixed 1owa's gross quota at b.S05. which
means the total number Of unskilled
laborers needed for war work from this
state in the next sixty days, including
the 1000 estimated az needed by Iowa
concerns. This would leave the net
quota at about 5000.
1t 10 possible these figures may be
revised somewhat before Mondays
meeting. The government figures were
made up from estimates of war work
needs forwarded to Washington by fed
eral labor directors from each state
after securing estimates from employ
ers working on war contracts In their
respective states. The government had
previously secured the total number OF
unskillsd lAborerS available in each
state. ;.. SO
First Figures inssmpIste.
The federal diFsctorS, in each state
were supposed to have secured esti-
mates from every contractor in their
states on tho amount OF labor needed
for war work contracts during the
coming sixty days. But as q matter OF
fact tho contractors were slow in send
Ing in their Sstinates and 1t 10 thought
these first figures will have to be re-
vised.
From State Labor Commissioner
Unck, who IL also director Of the
United States, employment service for
Iowa, had heard from. only twenty nine
Of the las manufacturers Of the state
doing war work when he was required
to forward his figures for iowa to
Washington. He tried to estimate the
needs Of the other contractors but this
was inta measure impossible. There
