Labor Bureau Warns of Cri-
sis in Keeping War Indus
tries in Operation
DRAFT AGE LIMITS
INCREASE SHORTAGE
Priority Distribution Plan in Effect
Since August Proves in Part Fail
ure-Importation of Laborers Prac-
tically Impossible.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-One mil
war industries of the United States. it
was stated yesterday by officials of the
federal employment service. Their an
nouncement is the first intimation that
has been given out that the labor short
age of the country has reached such
proportions. Unless the required million
men can be raised without delay many
Industries must close for the remainder
of the war
The shortage is expected to be great
y augmented by increasing the draft
age limits and the federal employment
service is considering appealing to men
in all walks of life to. volunteer their
services as common laborers in war
plants for the rest of the war.
"The Americans must know that
common labor when performed for
one S country in time of war is worthy
of any man, whatever may be his prior
position of experience said Nathan A.
Smyth, assistant director of the en-
9loyment service "As the army in
creases the situation grows more grave
1t must be faced resolutely and square
ly. There are plenty of men in the
country to meet the present crisis but
they are now engaged in non war
work -
Certain units which are turning out
materials for the army and navy, in
hiding sections of the Midvale Steel
Company at Coatville, Pa, have been
forced TO stop because of the need of
labor. A pierre acid plant in Georgia
valued at $s,000,O00,0 900, will have to
lose unless 5000 workers can be OBJ
tanned Immediately.
State directors of the employment
Iervice have been called upon to exert
very effort to meet the shortage. Vol
unteers will be sought everywhere.
The statement is the first intimation
that priority distribution of labor is
not giving the results hoped for it when
il was placed in effect on August /.
limitations here were that men
physically qualified for limited service
and not subject to exemption may be
used to help overcome the labor short
age.
In an appeal sent out the various
states were asked to supply unskilled
workers without delay in quotas rang
ing from LOO in Wyoming to 100 40
in New York which tops the list.
The importation of laborers from
other countries is virtually an impos-
sibility because of the shortage in ships.
The relief must be found in the volun-
tary assistance of Americans at home.
