Plan For 1ruininq
Has Been Outlined
By Commissioners
Defense Group Publishes q
Bulletin With Detdiled
Program

Washington, D. C. ILNS).-A de-
tailed program of training skilled
craftsmen for Americas defense in
dustries through apprenticeship was
outlined in bulletin issued by Sidney
Hillman, commissioner in charge of
the labor division of the National De-
fense Commission.
The apprentice program, as set
forth in the bulletin, calls for pro-
gressive assignments supplemented by
technical instruction. Progress de-
pends on the workers ability to learn,
and allows the apprentice to mature
as responsible worker. Some ap-
prentices are thus able to complete
the entire program in shorter time
than the established period.
The labor divisions training pro-
gram, of which the apprentice pro-
gram is one part, includes training
production workers in an occupation
requiring a single skill, and develop
ing supervisors by giving them pro-
gressively increasing responsibility.
The apprentices training program
does not take the place Of either of
the other programs. 1t is long-term
program, from which industry will
procure most of it's skilled craftsmen,
as we'll as some future supervisory
and technical personnel.

Employment Service Sets Machinery In
Motion for Transfer Of Defense Workers

Washington, D. c. QLNS).-The
United States Employment Service Of
the Social Security Board has put into
operation national system for clear
ance of employers labor needs and
interstate transfer of workers in some
500 occupations essential to defense
industries This system supplements
the existing interstate clearance ma
chinery maintained comparatively by
the various state employment services,
the security board said.
The national labor clearance ma
chinery is designed to minimize un-
planned and unnecessary movement
of workers from one area to another
following rumors of jobs. 1t will also
serve to speed up the interstate trans
fer of workers to vital defense jobs,
where it is required, without depict
ing any locality of workers who will
be needed there in the near future.
Hereafter employer orders for de-
fense workers which cannot be filled
by the local employment offices with

And Fuscisn

Chicago, Ill.-The American Edi-
of Federal Labor Unions of editorial
workers affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor, was established
here at conference of delegates from
every part of the country.
The association dedicated itself to
"the advancement of the economic and
social welfare of all editorial workers
on newspapers of general circulation
and on accredited news services in
the United States and Canada"
An immediate organizing drive was
ordered with the approval and sup
port of President William Green of
the American Federation of Labor
who made special trip from Wash
ington to help launch the new nation
al council.
Sounding the keynote for the con-
ference, President Green called on the
newspapermen to establish free un-
ion for free men, not dominated by
subversive influences as is the C1O
American Newspaper Guild.
Responding to this advice, the AS
sociation unanimously adopted as a
leading provision in it's Constitution
a clause barring from membership
any person espousing the doctrines Of
Communism, Nazism or Fascism.
In a ringing declaration of prin-
ciples, the conference declared:
dom of the press, freedom of speech,
of assembly and of religion are vital
to the preservation Of democracy and
democratic institutions, and pledges

work Of 13 regional clearance Offices
covering the entire country.
To Serve AS Control Points
These regional Offices will serve as
control points for interstate clearance
of orders for key workers in aircraft,
tank construction, arms and NUM-

other defense industries, as we'll as
the Government operated shipyards
and arsenals which come under Civil
Service regulations.
The regional clearance offices will
not themselves accept applications
from job seekers or carry out place

ried on as usual by the local state
operated employment offices. The
state services will continue to handle
interstate clearance of non-defense
workers although they may use the
new national machinery for this pur-
pose if they wish.
The chief function Of the regional
clearance Offices will be to route or
