Industry plays as essential and hon
orable role in this great struggle as do
our military ornaments. We all re-
cognize the truth of this. but we must
alec see its necessary implications
namely, that industry. doing a vital
task for the nation, most receive the
support and assistance of the nation.
Therefore. | solernnly
urge all employers engaged in war
work to refrain after August LIST, 1918.
from recruiting unskilled labor in any
manner except through this central
agency. | urge labor to respond as
loyalty as heretofore to any calls issued
by this agency for voluntary enlistment
In essential industry. And ask them
both alike to remember that no sacrifice
will have been in vain. if we are able
to prove beyond all question that the
highest and best form of efficiency Is
the spontaneous cooperation OF free
people"
