~Inasmuch As the United States en-
plovment service under the Department
of Labor already has established
throughout the nation State advisory
boards and numerous recruiting agen-
cies in divisions Of the country, and is
therefore familiar with the needs for
skilled labor in each community, the
advice OF the industrial adviser nomi-
mated by the Department Of Labor Will
be OF great value TO the district boards
in arriving at their decisions as to
whether or not individuals engaged in
certain industries, occupations or en-
ployments are engaged in work neces-
sary to the maintenance Of the military
establishment the effective operation
OF the military forces or the mainte-
nance of the national interest during
the emergency.

special facilities for being Informed as

purposes and the demand for such labor
In the various communities OF the ma
ton. and such information will be

the district boards and helpful in as
sisting such boards in determining the /
claims by or in respect Of registrants |

ployments. such as financial, CONNER /

ion Of such advisers so that persons /
necessary in such activities be not re-

some particular industry, occupation
or employment are so necessary there
