orable a role in this great struggle as do
our military ornaments. We all recognize
the truth Of this, but we must also see its
necessary implica tions-namely, that indus
Try, doing a vital task for the nation, must
receive the support and assistance Of the
nation"

urge all employers engaged in war work to
refrain after August 1st, 1918, from recruit
ing unskilled labor in any manner except
through this central agency. to. s. En-
ployment Service-l Iurge labor to respond
as Loyalty as heretofore to any calls issued
by this agency for voluntary enlistment in
