PRESIDENTS STATEMENT

Industry plays as essential and hon
orable a role in this great struggle
as do Our military armaments. We
all recognize the truth Of this, but we
must also see its necessary impica-
tions-namely, that industry, doing a
vital task for the nation, must re-
ceive the support and assistance Of
the nation"
Therefore, ] solemnly
urge all employers engaged in war
work to refrain after August lst,
1918, from recruiting unskilled labor
in any manner except through this
central agency U. S. Employment
Servicel.' / urge labor to respond as
Loyalty as heretofore to any calls
issued by this agency for voluntary
enlistment in essential industry. And
/ ask them both alike to remember
that no sacrifice will have been in vain,
if we are able to prove beyond all
question that the highest and best
form of efficiency is the spontaneous
cooperation of a free people. "
