Skilled Workers
Urged To Register

Registration of all skilled workers
in Minnesota, both those who are un-
employed as well as those engaged in
semi-skilled or unskilled work, was
urged this week by Victor Christgau,
director of the Division of Employ
ment and Security. The Divisions
employment service is the agency
through which workers will be
cleared for National Defense program.
Registration should be made at any
nearby branch or itinerant office of
the Division of Employment and Sc
curity.
Mr.. Christgau spent last week at
Washington, attending National De-
fense conferences on coordinating the
facilities of the employment service
offices. The first purpose is to pre-
vent a dislocation of workers as in
dustry begins supplying the defense
needs of the nation.
Employers are asked to advise local
offices of the Division as to their i'm

er requirements and not to solicit
competitively nor recruit workers
outside their immediate locality until
the Division has been given an oppor-
tunity to meet such requirements
locally, through its intercity and in
terstate clearance machinery.
Classifcations in which there is
likely to be an immediate demand,
Mr.. Christgau said, are: Die makers,
precision machinists, sheet metal
workers, millwrights, craftsmen, ship
filters, boiler makers, riveters, elec-
trio welders, CONSTITUTIONAL designers,
drill runners, assemblers, foundry
workers, core makers, erectors, gauge
makers, grinders, layout men, wood
workers, drill press operators and
lathe operators. This list, Mr.. Christ
gau added, is not all-inclusive but
indicates the type of workers whose
registration is especially desired.

Work Begun on Assembly Hall.

At recent meeting of the church
board it was decided to make the
entire five-man board building
