Employment Service
Registers Workers
For Defense Jobs

Barclay Craighead, chairman Of the
unemployment compensation commits
sion, said that the state employment
service division of the commission has
been informing persons registered for
employment Of job opportunities in ma
tional defense industries through civil
service.
Either by card or telephone appli-
cants who might qualify for positions
are notified of the position and the
local employment office assists them
in preparing their application for the
civil service examination" Craighead
said.
Filling of positions in defense in
dustries is being done through civil
service and the nations system of 5000
public employment offices. In this way
migration of labor is prevented and
workers saved the cost OF travelling
from one section of the country to an
other looking for work, which often is
not available"
Machinists, tool dressers, welders,
iron workers. electricians and carpen-
tiers are urged to register at their local
employment office, if not registered.
Employers will be helped by the local
offices to secure qualified replacements
for workers called to defense industries.

In a matter of hours, the world

A stalemate would be a grave
