STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
APPEALS TO EMPLOYERS
systematic Plan Adopted to Furnish
Jobs to Returned Soldiers.
Reno. Nevada, Dec. 2s. 1918.

Reno, Nevada, Dec. 2s. 1910
Ito all employers of labor in Nsvada:
Enclosed herewith find statement
of the plan of finding the right mar
for the lab as outlined by Captain
]. X. Turner of Camp Lewis, wash
ington, who has been detailed to Ne
yada to explain Il the state author
tiles, the councils of defense, the u
6. %c,mployment service and all Others
interested. the method of demobiliza-
ton evolved at Camp Lewis.
It is absolutely essential for the
complete success of this plan that the
employers of labor throughout Ne
vada now do their part. II is Just
as vitality important that the demob-
ilized soldier be given preference to
a position for which he is well quail
flied as It was to have him ready &c
lay down his life in protecting oui
country.
II is needless TO say that all oui
! own Nevada boys will find their OLE
positions open. ready for them wher
they return home. that goes withou
saying. Ii is estimated that three
fourths of the over 5000 Nevada sol
diers will not be d~emobolized anc
ready to return to civil employment
until a year or more has passed. The
n~inety-frst division, which contains
| the majority of our enlisted boys, II
now on active duty along the Rhine
and In belgium. During the interim
before our own boys return, here Il
the opportunity for all Nevada EN-
ployers TO get exactly the kind of en-
ployees wanted, through the adoption
of the Camp Lewis plan OF demobil'
ization. and in taking the soldier as
an employee they will be doing their
duty to these men.
We ask your most earnest cooper
alton in this matter. Turn in to the
local employment bureau FOR return
ed soldiers and sailors, just formed
or to be formed in your community
lists of openings. either present OF
prospective, that you have In your
business and under yosr control.
These bureaus are TO be In charge of
a local manager selected by a CON-
| mittee from amongst your own citi-
lens and 1t Is thought the agency of
these bureaus that the Job will be
brought to the soldier"
Commencing January 9Th and
weekly thereafter, 1t IL the intention
of the Central employment Office,
Reno. Nevada. in charge OF ]. c..
Coniff, federal state director u. s.
employment service, to send TO Camp
Lewis a consolidated report COM
piled from reports received from bu-
reaus throughout the state, showing
the number and kinds OF positions
open or to be open at future dates
to the qualified returned soldier.
An employer who does net do his
part toward the successful fulflIment
of the plan as outlined Is not only
most decidedly unpatriotic but is los
ing an opportunity to get exactly the
Kind Of employee wanted and also
is cheating Nevada out of the best
kind OF prospective citizen.
We trust you all to do your full
part.
