both of Richmond, Va, are in Denver
this week representing the United
States department of labor as travel
ing examiners in the United States
employment service. They have come
West to recruit labor for service in
war industries in the Richmond-Nor-

eastern part of the country has been
N,
even to the extent of getting them
from all nonessential employments
Labor recruiting is now practically
confined to the states west of the Mis-
sissippi. Four other Eastern repre-
sentatives are in Denver or in other
parts of Colorado enlisting labor for
war work, so that it would appear
every available man in the state will
soon be recruited. Men able to per-
form labor in these plants are being
taken from nonessential employ
ments, under ruling recently made
by the community board of the United
States employment service in Denver.
Many protests have been made against
this by Colorado employers. However,
recruiting of men goes on, and high
wages paid in the East are quite an
inducement for men to leave Colorado.
During the past two weeks 1,20O men
have been shipped from Colorado to
Nitro, w. Va, where INT is manu-
factured in large quantities and the
pay is exceedingly enticing.
