Offices at each of the camps and arrange

soldiers returning from France before they

service organizations, the Red Cross, Y. M.

War Camp Community Service, have been
included in our plan, SO that each of their
offices, agencies, huts, canteens and so on, is

are also bringing the draft boards into it,
purely on voluntary basis, so as to give
the boys the advantage of the great amount
OF information their members gained while

Their than that we have our enrolling agents,
dollar-a-year men, who look after placing
the boys in khaki All any soldier or sailor
who wants a job has to do is register; we
are responsible for the rest of it.
This matter of cancellations of govern
ment contracts which has been giving some
concern has been put directly up to us.
The War Department and the Navy Depart
ment send US lists OF the concerns affected
by cancellations they wish to make and we
get in touch with the manufacturers and
find what the effect of cancellation would
be on local labor conditions. Then we ad-
wise the department whether or not to make
the cancellation. They don't cancel till they
hear from US it is advisable to do it.
"Thus far the excess labor is being read

government contracts write US that their
cancellation would not Cause the cutting
down of their forces at all, and even where
employees would be laid off in considerable
numbers there is the likelihood of their all

within the last year. When it became ap
parent, early in 1918, that the war plants
were going to need great numbers OF add-
t'onal hands, and as soon as they could be
found, and that private recruiting was ut
terly inadequate to the situation, the En-
p!oyment Service came into its own.
The nearer the service got to pooling sll
the labor that could be recruited over the
land, the more apparent it was that there
wasn't enough. Uncle Sam was shy from
one to two million of workers On August
! the Employment Service-or the Depart
ment of Labor through it-took exclusive
charge of all the unskilled labor in the
country and of skilled labor in the larger
industrial centres. Non essential indus
tries, which seemed to have given up all
the labor possible without disaster to their
organizations, had to give up more. and By
getting in thousands of amateur workers
and distributing its recruits according to
the most pressing needs, the Employment
Service managed to keep things going even

whence are coming the calls for workers.
One of the most important divisions of
the work has to do with the cancellation of
government contracts. The quartermas-
ters department or the ordnance depart
ment of the army the corresponding de-
partment in the navy sends notice of pend
ing cancellations or suspensions. Immedi-
ately there goes to each of the firms or cor
pcrations on the list a letter, in which the
Employment Service offers "to cooperate in
every way possible for the placement of any
labor that the cancellation or termination
Of these contracts may cause you to re-
lease or aid you to obtain any additional
labor you need" The replies of the holder
Of the contract not only enable the service
to determine whether the cancellation
should be made but also furnish much in
formation for its files and bulletins. Some
days they are more encouraging than
others, but in general they furnish no basis
for pessmism.
For instance, Fownes Brothers, in Glow
ersville, will discharge no employees when
their government contracts terminate, and
may have places for some of those who are
laid off by other glove factories there The
glove contracts haven't been cancelled vet.

would be laid off from the glove factories
would find it hard to fit into any other
