a factor of inestimable value in assist
ing the labor of the country to shift
from the special war Industries back
to the demands made by normal bust
ness. The departments will also play
an important part, says Knapp, IN
placing returning soldiers and sailors
where they are needed the most.
Acting under orders just received
from headquarters at washington the
local office is laying plans for a can
vass of the counties which comprise
this district, and the state office Will
cover the entire state in an effort TO
ascertain where labor is needed, what
industries or trades, and approximate
ly the number of men desired.
The complete cooperation OF busi-
ness men in every line OF industry Will
be necessary for the making up OF an
intelligent and comprehensive report.
If business men do not report their
particular needs there will be no way
of knowing how many men can be
used at any point. The government
employment service is going to con-
tinue, SAYS Knapp. and If business men
can be educated up to calling upon the
new government employment service
for their needs it will result not only
in their needs being Immediately sup
piled but also will prove of very great
assistance in aiding the government in
completing the transition from ma
ton working on a high pressure war
basis back to conditions which ordi-
narily exist in peace times.
Big Task Ahead.
The disposition of the thousands of
men who will soon be returning from
France is an immense undertaking.
Taking all these men away from their
work and putting them into the army.
says Knapp. was comparatively easy
as compared with the problem OF To-
eating them in some line of work
when they return at rate which will
probably be speedier than their de-
parture from civil life. Many of these
men doubtless will return to their old
jobs, or if not the identical job many
business men have made plans to place
them in other jobs but there will be
thousands who will need assistance in
getting located.
A feature of this report is a cir
cular letter which will be sent out at
once from the office of the United
States employment service to the may
ors of all first and second class cities
urging them to issue a proclamation
calling for the assistance of business
men in their locality in aiding the
government in it's plans by furnishing
reports on the numbers of men they
can use and in what trades they need
them most.
