WORKERS DIRECTED
TO WAR INDUSTRIES
United States Employment Service
Recruited More Than Two and
a Half Million Men.

from Its reorgs nIZatlon last January
until the signing of the armistice, the
United States Employment Service direct
ed to employment, almost entirely In war
industry, including agriculture, apDroxi-
mately 2,500.0 workers II also in
creased Its local employment Offices from
30 10 900 N the same period. These
figures represent an increase of about :
600 per cent In both labor finding activities
and IN the establishment of local employ
me Offices.
The steady rate at which the service
has grown IN extent and accomplishment
Is indicated by the fact that in January
last 90 ,642 persons were sent To Jobs
while IN October 547 ST. were directed TO
employment. Furthermore. during the
week ending November ,, the last week.
but one OF war conditions, I62,754 work
ers were dlrected-a rate of ESQ 900 a
month.
Returns made by employers and work
ers show that approximately 1000 600
OF the $500, 900 workers directed were
placed II IS impossible to know how
many OF the balance were placed. owing
10 the failure OF some EMPLOYERS and
workers to notify the service OF the ac-
ceptance Of workers or Jobs At the out
set OF the reorganization, II was esti-
mated that the war industries Of the coun-
try would require between 1000, 600 and
1900, 900 workers up to the end Of 1918
Moreover, 1t was not simply case OF
directing TO war plants applicants AZ the
local offices Of the employment service
The service has had literally 10 dig uD"
men from non-war work and help reduce
turnover the agencies chiefly being
the paid agents of the employment ser
vice, the volunteer agents of the public
service reserve, and more recently, the
community labor boards Patriotic help
was rendered the agents and boards by
employers and employees and their or
CARNATIONS
The replacement Of war workers and
soldlers IN peace industries, already be-
gun. would indicate that the volume Of
work OF the employment service during he
coming months will be as great as it was
up 70 the signing Of the armistice.

WAR PLANTS RELEASE

The movement of women war workers

The movement of women war workers
to peace time production has begun.
Two hundred and forty gas mask work
ers, were released from government plant
IN Long Island City last week. The en-
ployment managers of this plant tele-
phoned the United States Employment
Service before notifying the women.

official, The world Is going out of mourn

leased by War Industries Board from their
restricted output, need skilled operators.
Send us others as you release them and we
will place them.

who has been employing hundreds of
women, reports: Our plant has untitled
contracts that will keep us at 100 per

tions are whether we can get materials
and labor The War Industries Board
has already released steel supplies. Even
before the war, our great problem was a
sufficient labor supply. We are ready to

The first group of women to be released
from war service In Washington was made
the subject of special conference attention
by the Employment Service. Their names.
qualifications and home addresses were
requested by the Employment Service.
Telegraphic machinery of the Clearance
Division of the service was started, and
within a very few hours it was evident
that nearly every woman would be offered
a position, many of them In or near her
home town. This offer OF position will
be co-incident with her release from war
service.
Similar service will be rendered by the
United States Employment Service
throughout the country. Special efforts
have been made to list such clerical work

REDDY FOX AND MIR. YOIING DOG.

Little Rcddy Fox was not very old
and so, of course, had not had so much
! experience rs the older foxes with dogs
but Mr.. Young Dog ON the bill was moi
20 very old, either, and that was how il
| happened that Little Reddy Fox did
not get caught one day when he was to
bold about going to the farm in the day
ii Q
Little Reddy Fox WAS HUNGRY for a
nice fat hen or chicken, and rs he he'd
seen the night before when he went
through with his father that Mr.. Mans
poultry house was we'll stocked with all
kinds OF fowl he said not word to any
one but made his way to the farmyard.
~ course Reddy fox's father knew all
about Mr.. Young Dog, and that he would
be easy 10 TOOL at nighttime, and he knew
just how to do it, and he had not thought
to tell Reddy that MIR. Young Dog was
very wideawake fellow in the daytime
Father Fox did not dream the Little
Reddy would dare go over the bill alone,
but he did, and that was how he was
almost caught
Little Reddv Fox crcpt around the
back of the farmyard keeping close TO
the stone wall until kc came 10 place
where he could side under, and in jiffy
he was in the yard and had n fat chicken
and was off again
But Little Rcddy Fox osas not
lucky as he had thought, for he was only
iuat out of the harnyard when Bow !

him and in another instant he saw over
his shoulder the figure Of Mr. Young Dog
coming after him with leaps and bounds
Rcddy Fox was some little runner,
You may be sure and now he showed
Mr. Young Dog how fast he eoud run.
He would not have had the least trou-
bio in getting far ahead in the chase if
It had not been for the nice fat chicken
he was carrying
