regulated wages and moved about

The mobilization of labor. be-
ing carried out under the nat onhl
mobilization act, is a tremendous
change in the traditional Japa-
ncsc attitude toward employment.
Previously. except for the en-
forced military training, mans
career has been largely a matter
Of family consideration. Now the
state is being substituted for the
family as the deciding factor IN
the choice of work.
LABOR UNIONS WEAKENED
Labor unions. existent hut neY-
er strong, will have even less m
fluence in the future.
The objective of the plan for
labor registration is to have a con-
tinual and annie supply Of work
erS for the munitions industry.
Article 81 of the national mo-
bil''"tion act provides:
"When found necessary for pur-
poses Of national General mobll'-
| ZatiOn, the government may, in
accordance with the provisions Of
an imperial ordinance, cause sub

! Moving or using subjects of the
! Empire. to report on matters per-
| tanning to their vocational ability,
on examine the vocational ability
/ Of subjects of the Empire"
Under that general anthoriZa-
ton, the government has been pre-
pairing detailed requirements. The
newspaper Kokumin said that the
ordinance would be ready for en-
forcnmnnt in November.

As Outlined in advance, the or
dinance will:
l.-Rcauirc the registration 81
| all males between the ages OF III
! and 60 who have been holding
! Jobs directly or indirectly related
TO the munitions industry for the
past three months.
2.-Require the registration OF
men who have studied in enGi
nccrirg or mining universities OIL
schools.
3.-Dcmand reports from EN-
ploycrs who engage five or more
workers.
4.-Put into effect enforcing
and regulatory machinery.
5.-Provide for inspection o.
employed personnel.
G.-ProVide for examination

Garry provisions for shift
inc of workers from job to job a
necessity requires.
S.-Previous changes of EN-
plovment without permission.
0.-Provide wage scales.
After the plan is in operation
workers will receive identiflcatIol
cards and will be subject to cal
when need for their service
arises.
