Things stood just about this way
when one day the mailman left a dainty

writing to Jim himself. And in that
same mail were two similar letters for
his sisters. addressed in the same dainty
handwriting.

CURB ADVERTISING
TO ATTRACT LABOR
Fleet Corporation Requires
Shipyards to Observe
Federal Rules

Advertisements for labor in shipyards
have been curtailed. so workmen seeking
new jobs will not come long distances
and from other shipya rds and war indus
| tries
Charles Piez. vice president and gen
| eral manager OF the Emergency Fleet
| Corporation. has outlined the procedure
to be followed by all shipyards and
auxiliary plants in advertising for labor.
The wisdom of this course was demon
strated when the Government abolished
| all overtime" and extra paw" and
many workmen from distant points quit
work. Mr.. Piez said. They had come to
the yards with the understa ndIng that
even higher wages than they could oh
tain elsewhere were possible by over
time work.
Given Exclusive Control
The United States employment service
the order points out. was given exclusive
control over the recruiting of unskilled
| labor for war work by presidential proc-
amation issued June II. All advertise
ments for unskilled labor. therefore,
must meet the requirements of the en-
ployment service.
In the case of skilled labor. tho 1-nitad
States employment service has not vet
| been given a monopoly of recruiting
| workers. The order points out however
| that the service has at hand more infor-
nation concerning the location of avail
able skilled workers than has any other
Government agency. The shipyards and
| industrial plants are urged to cooperate
with the service in obtaining skilled
workers In advertising.
To prevent the unnecessary drawing of
men from long distances. shipyards are
advised to advertise first for both un-
skilled and skilled labor in their home
! districts. II yards advertise for labor in
other states ftom that in which they are
| located, they must have the authoriza-
ton of the United States employment
| service.
Employed Men Barred
The order further specifies that to pre-
vent drawing men from other Yards
every advertisement, whether for skilled
or unskilled labor. must contain the fol-
| lowing statements:
NO one working in an Emergency
Fleet shpyard should apply Wages and
working conditions are the same as i'm all
such shipyards.
NO advert iSement shall state the num-
Der of men needed, the rate of pay. the
amount OF overtime or the rate Of com
pensation for overtime, housing, welfare
work or similar inducements in violation
| OF the wages or standards fixed by the
shipbuilding labor adjustment board
