The dress of the workers Is rather

dances and picture shows and other
places Of entertainment they go, just
as they go to their work. To see Il

EMPLOYERS

The employer who is not cooperating with
the United States Employment Service is a
war loafer. The plea of not knowing or under
standing the necessity of such cooperation is
not tenable, for all employers must know of
the national need for labor.
Turnover of employees in the United States
is excessive. Statistics show labor turnover to
be 400 per cent. The employer who does not
improve conditions in his place of business for
the purpose of eliminating unnecessary turn
over is a war loafer.
