CALLS FOR 1870 WORKERS

A new call has come for Delaware
| to meet in carrying out the wishes of
| the Government. The State Council
/ of Defense has been asked to assist
! the United States Employment Bureau
in securing an army of 1870 unskilled
workers-Delaware's quota Acute
labor shortages are increasing in all
factories making war materials. The
Midvale Steel Company, of Coates
vile, Penna., has been forced to close
part of its plant due to lack of labor.
The supplying of Deiaware's quota is
imperative to war production and the
State must do her duty. The 1870
men must come from such businesses
as those which are not engaged in
supplying the government with mate
rials for the army and from those
firms which have positions now filled
by men whose places can be taken
by women. Men cannot, however. be
drawn from railroads, shipyards,
mines. farms or other essential war
industry. They will have to come
from the non-essential industries.
The United States Employment Ser
vice Director for Delaware has been
given the esponsibility of filling this
quota and the National Council of De-
tense has urged upon the Delaware
State Council the assisting to recruit
the men for this labor call. The
Federal Government is pushing the
work or fight" movement and the
Compulsory Work Bureau of the
State Council of Defense created over
two months ago, and hard at work
ever since, is ready TO throw all its |
efforts to assisting at this time.
Men who are not engaged on the |
farm, on the railroad. or in the ship !
yard, are asked to offer their services. |
1t is hoped that a sufficient number
will volunteer so that Communicating |
men for this purpose will not be ne
The Government has put |
the matter up to the state and ex-
poets the men to be secured. Our
new army must not be forced to face
a lack of equipment such as was ap-
parent last winter. The United States |
Service is hoping for a
ready response and is willing to give |
full details.

STATEMENT OF SEC. OF LABOR

The Department of Labor has rea-
son to congratulate its Field Organ
ization upon the achievement of the
United States Boys Working Reserve,
branch of the Employment Service
that from small and experimental be-
glnnings has already attained an i'm
portance claiming national attention.
Under fortunate leadership in the
various States. the movement has now
grown TO proportions which in view
of its recent inception and early han
dicaps, | regard as truly remarkaDle
The necessity that the country avail
itself of boy labor on a large scale
is upon us. That this should be done
according to an intelligent plan is es-
sential to the fullest utilization of this
labor, together with due consideration
for the welfare of our young man
hood.
The boy power of the country can
not be treated merely as productive
mechanism. As a human element Of
the war machine it merits special
consideration, and I am happy to see
that it is receiving the thoughtful
care of minds well trained in the pro-
blems of the American boy.
II II a QtAlIdlG anu res UUlolUAE ldHh
to mobilize the vast productive forces
latent in the youths of high school
age, and at the same time to accom-
modate the workers to a new environ
ment and surround them with physi-
cal and moral safeguards upon a stan
dardized plan. l am gratified to say
that this problem has been approach
ed intelligently and conscientiously.
The officials in control of the policies
of the United States Boys Working
Reserve have the full vision of its
possibilities and are making the most
of them; and this with reference both
to production and to boy-conserva-
tion.
The facts and figures for 1918, not
vet complete, are eloquent of what
may be expected of this vital branch
of the Employment Service in the com
ing crop year. I look forward with
confidence to a still more wonderful
record by the United States Boys
Working Reserve in 1913.
Thanks to the Department of La
Dor are due to the Governors of the
States. the State Councils Of Defense
the Educational forces and our agents
in the field. for their unselish devo-
tion of time and effort to this import
ant work. ". B. Wilson.
