1t has often been true that more
laborers have been shipped out of
Chicago than were brought in" Mr.
Cohen declared. This is because
Chicago has been looked on as
clearing house for labor in the CEN
trail west"
Many of the men usually en-
ployed in peace time industries,
such as carpenters, mill workers,
brick layers and stone masons, Mr.
Cohen stated. have been put to work
in government ship yards and at
other war tasks, with the result
that large numbers from the build
ing industries have been absorbed
by war work, equalizing what other
wise would be a seriously abnormal
condition.
Without having TO rely on the aid
Of high school boys. Illinois farm
ers thus far have experienced little
difficulty in finding help for plant
ing. At some of the Illinois free
employment bureaus, Mr.. Cohen
said, capable farm hands have been
registered for days without finding
work.
Mr. Cohen said women had re-
placed men in so few cases that in
no period of record did such dilu-
ton Of the labor supply exceed
three per cent. The lowest percent
age for any period, he stated, was
one-half - one per cent.
AT this stage of the game there
IS no need for women to engage in
work that men can do better" Mr..
Cohen said. There are plenty Of
men for mems jobs. Some kinds of
industry offer tasks especially fitted
for women, but there are many sorts
of work which some women have
attempted 10 do that is entirely out
side of their capabilities because Of
physical requirements There is no

would force women into jobs they
cannot do we'll"
