STATE WAR WORK QUOTA 1880
Reported That There, is Shortage Of
100000 Trained Men in Nation.

Washington. --Allotment OF quotas
OF unskilled labor, TO be furnished by
various states to war industries, dur.
ing the next two months, under the
system of government recruiting, put
into operation August l, under the
United States employment service,
were announced by the department of
labor.
By assigning quotas of unskilled
laborers, to be furnished in each state,
the employment service took the first
step in meeting the shortage of COM
mon labor estimated by reports, re-
ceived, as approximately 100000.
Announcement OF tht states quotas
followed a conference here of rep
resentatives OF a dozen war industries
with officials OF the department OF
labor. Estimated labor needs of each
of the industries was submitted by
the representatives. and these esti-
mates will be used in apportioning the
first quotas.
Michigan's quota is 1880.
The quotas, it was said. are net
requirements of various war indus.
tries, and do not make allowance for
extra needs, or for labor turnover.
Complete returns of labor needs are
expected by August Is, and when esti-
mates, made at that time, are tabul-
ated, supplemental list of quotas will
be issued.
State directors Of the employment
service were instructed to begin i'm
mediately, apportioning of state quot
as among local districts.
In industrial states quotas, an
nounced, average about 5 per cent OF
the estimated number of men, not in
military service, or already engaged
in war work, agriculture, mining or
transportation In western and south
ern agricultural states, the average
percentage is somewhat higher, as al
lowance has been made for untitled
labor needs.
