PRESIDENTS
STATEMENT

sIndustry plays as essential and hon
orable a role in this great struggle as do
our military ornaments. We all recognize
TIC truth of this, but we must also see it's
necessary implica tions-namely, that indus
try, doing vital task for the nation, must
receive the support and assistance of the
nation"
''Therefore, solemnly
urge all employers engaged in war work to
refrain after August lst, 1918, from recruit
ing unskilled labor in any manner except
through this central agency. III. S. En-
ployment Service. Iurge labor to respond
as loyalty as heretofore to any calls issued
by this agency for voluntary enlistment in
essential industry. And 1 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,
