SECRETARY ASKS HELP OF
LOCAL DRAFT BOARDS

Secretary of War Baker in an official
statement, has asked the draft boards
of the country to continue their organ
ization. If possible, to assist the depart
ment of labor in securing employment
for returning soldiers, the function to
be performed not officially but in CO.
operation with the department Of labor.
The statement from the secretary fol-
lows:
Il am very anxious to have the policy
Of the war department understood with
regard to the relations between the
draft boards and the return Of soldiers
to labor opportunities.
"The department is hopeful that the
draft boards throughout the country
will remain voluntarily organised ana
associated. and as such continue their
interest in the returning soldiers. az
filiating themselves with the employ
ment representative of the department
Of labor so that he can bring together
in each community all the agencies
which have interest in the soldier and
have opportunities for bringing them
into contact with places of employment,
and not have competing agencies
am particularly anxious to have the
uTdlt UOdTuS dSbuIH6 thdG AuuCS1OA Va
bringing themselves into contact with
the proper labor representatives SO that
they can continue their interest in the
soldiers and help them to return to
places Of profitable occupation.
The war department has not asked
the draft boards to assume this duty
officially because 1t would have created
competing agency. Thianwork should
be under the jurisdiction q the depart
ment Of labor. The labor department
has in every community Of the country
field representative and there are
also in every community agencies like
industrial committees. chambers Of COM
merce. rotary clubs. labor unions, all OF
which have facilities for getting into
communication with labor and indus
trial opportunities, and also have spe-
cial interests in the soldier. 1t would
seem better to have the department OF
labor representative acting as a kind OF
president Of these various groups
bringing them all into cooperation, sc
that soldier would not be passed from
one to another, but each soldier have
that agency aiding him which is best
adapted to his particular case, and the
distribution systematically done by the
department. Of labor representative"
