WORKERS, TRAINED DURING
WAR, MUST Be REASSIGNED
Training and DilatiOn Service Will
Give Employers Line on New
Workers as Released.
(By Charles r. Clayton, Director
Training and Dilution Service, De-
partment of Labor

The cancellation of contracts for
munitions supplies and equipment not
rceded because of the suspension Of
hostilities and the probability that
peace may soon be declared is releas-
ing thousands of workers. both semi
hilled and skilled.
As conditions become more normal
;"1ustries will doubtless assimilate
lie skilled workers into the peace in
iustry with which they formerly were
Identified and this without any very
great loss of time. But the vast army,
both male and female, who, as a re-
silt of some form of intensive train
ing. have qualified for and performed
:Eeir part in making our peace terms
realities, are not so happily situated.
They must find new niche for them
selves.
These less mature workers may en-
lcavCr to retain their status as pro-
ductive units in the kinds of occupa-
lions with which their recent efforts
have been associated. Their difficult
ty is to secure a reassignment which
will utilize as nearly as possible the
training and skill they have obtained
in war work. Some way by which the
experience of these people can be
made to function in the manufacture
of the useful commodities of peace is
needed
Many employers now engaged in
planning extension of peace-time work
would be glad to know where to find
people having the kind of experience
nearest to their needs and best adapt
cd quickly to take up their production,
The Training and Dilution Service,
through its expert superintendent of
training, covering substantially the
whole country, offers its help to man
ufacturers and to employees to point
out to employers seeking qualified
workers and to workers seeking the
kinds of employment most adapted to
their particular training ways to meet
The Training Service has nothing to
do with finding labor nor with its
transfer That is for the United
States Employment Service. But the
Training Service is ready and glad to
help employers to best utilize the
splendid facilities of the Employment
Service by showing them the kinds OF
labor now progressively being releas-
ed for which they can call to advant-

FARMS FOR SOLDIERS

Whether the war ends soon or
late. we shall face the same problem
of knowing what to do with our sol
diers when they return. There may
not be enough jobs for them for a
while, especially since women will
be established by that time IN so
many occupations formerly held by
men. Many will not want the same
old work, since war experience has
an unsettling tendency.
We do not know what the state of
industry will be. One thing we do
know, though, and that is that there
will be the same old need Of food to
eat, and more emphasis on the cul-
tivation of the soil than We have had
in some decades.
Quite aside from precedent, then,
il is the natural and obvious thing
to see that there is land ready for
all who want it when the troops
come home.
We have no such domain as we
distributed among the Civil Wal
veterans, but We have more fair-to'
good land awaiting cultivation thar
most Americans suppose. Secretary
Lane has found some 400,000,00
acres which he says can be made
available for men who feel like
turning from trench digging to hoe
ing corn and raising cattle and prov
ing the merits of scientific farmin.
machinery and methods.
Congress has voted 100000 for
survey of it. Some of the land mus
be irrigated, some cleared and SOM
drained before it is fit for farming
Many millions could be spent on /
to advantage, as soon as the plan
are developed. Such expenditure
would represent conservation of tn
highest type, and the money woult
all find its way back into the treas
ury in due time.
