of the Marines are not aimed as eye

The Community Labor Boards are
charged with the responsibility OF de
termining the methods which .hall

vice III attempting 10 recruit tor war
work men from industries which are
not directly connected with the pros
ocution OF the war. The power to de-
termine the priority among industries
and to close up non-essential indus
tries by shutting off supplies rests
with the War Industrie Board.
The U. 5. Employment Service will
follow the priorities determined by
the Priorities Board OF the War In
-lustries and the. Employment Ser
vice through all its agencies will keep
in systematic touch and constant
cooperation with the other hivis
ions OF the government concerned
with the man power and material pro-
gram.
1t is within the province OF each
Community Board TO list those non
war industries in it, community which
will first be called upon to contribute
men TO war work.
This does not mean that such in
dustries will be compelled to close
up or to discharge their male employ
ees at once, but with as much speed as
may be necessary TO meet the nation
al emergency they will release male
workers
We may as well face the facts.
Much work essential to our program
is being seriously retarded by lack OF
unskilled labor In this situation IT
is obviously wrong to have able-bod-
led men continuing to sell candy, Gig
ars, and like articles; to be doing
work in shops and stores which might
with reasonable effort on the part OF
the employers be entrusted to women
and To be dancing attendance in clubs,
barber shops soft drink establish
ments, bowling alleys, dancing acad-
emies and elsewhere.
Our war Industries are suffering
severely for lack OF skilled mechanics
1t therefore becomes burden upon
the conscience OF every person who
employs a chauffeur to determine
whether such employment is neces-
,ary or merely for the qualification
OF personal pleasure.
Moreover every owner OF an auto
mobile should realize that every time
he spends Eve dollars for automo-
bile accessories. supplies or repairs he

energies OF the country shall be de

The time has come when, from the
standpoint OF conservation OF labor,
we must all OF us limit our expenses
