 Tn the first place, r.

matically to the attention Of the
American people by such books as
Factories in the Field" and THE
Grapes of Wrath" But just as farm
workers and their families have
wandered from place to place in
search of jobs. so have industrial
workers. travelled from city to city
seeking jobs in factories-and mi
grant industrial workers have had
just as tragic experiences as migrant
farm workers.
The unnecessary migration OF
workers has been an economic waste
and threat to the public health and
welfare in every community in
which it has occurred Today, it
Is more than that. 1t is threat
to our national security We simply
cannot afford the terrible waste of
manpower involved in such migra-
ton when the services of every
skilled and able worker Is going to
be needed either in our defense in
dustries or to keep our normal
economy functioning.
The causes of such unnecessary
movement of workers from place
to place arise from two sources, the
employers and the workers them
selves. When employers use sev-
eral different methods of recruiting
workers for their plants-handbills,
advertising. private employment ag-
encies, labor contractors, labor
scouts-the news reaches so many
people that their factory gates are
beSeiged by many times the number

various skills and training. This
order was given to the local State
employment ONCE. Even with the
cooperation of the labor unions and
by securing the entire local area,
only 200 qualified workers were
found. The need was referred di-
rectly to other public employment
Offices within the State, which. it
was thought. might be able to fur
nish the additional 800 men. Only
rs of these we're found. The order
was then referred through the re-
gional clearance office to the en-
ployment services of other States,
with the result that the entire order
was filled and qualified men were
on the job within a few days.
This incident and many more like
it illustrate the fact that every en-
ployer has access to the labor re-
sources of the entire country through
his local State employment Office
and conversely, that through the
same Office, every worker has access
10 the jobs opening up, not only in
his community. but everywhere
because each local Office is a part
of the Nationwide network of offices
which make up the United States
Employment Service, a service which
is actively cooperating with Or
ganized labor, with management
and with the Civil Service Commits
sion and other governmental agen-
cies to bring order and system into
the recruiting of workers in every
field of activity-manufacturing
commerce and agriculture.
Must EconOmize on SkillS.
But even with the most efi1cient
mobilization of labor, it is safe to
say that We are going to be faced
with serious lack of trained per-
sonnel in a number of key occupa-
tions. 1t also appears that training
programs, "refresher" courses and
the grading of men within
plants will not provide sufficient
skilled workers to meet the need in
time. 1t is going to be necessary.
therefore. to economize on skilled
labor with as much care as we now
economic on scarce. but vital, i'm
ported raw materials.
This economy of labor is already
beginning to assume two forms in
many defense plants: First, workers
are being used in operations in
which they are most skilled. never
at Jobs which can be done by men
with lesser abilities, thus spreading
the skilled labor as thinly as is con-
sistent with maximum production.
Second, down. processing is being
developed in some plants by CO.
Evening star., 1941-01-14

workers and employers to so CO.
operate-and, fortunately, it is
duty which can benefit them as well
as the Nations defense program.
To every employer we make this
appeal: Do not use a variety of
methods in soliciting new workers.
Place your order, specifying the ex-
act type of workers you need. with
your nearest local State employment
office. BY doing so, you are making
use of the largest employment serV-
ice in the world at no cost to you or
to the workers you employ.
To every worker we make this ap-
peal: Register Immediately at your
local State employment office If you
are unemployed and able to work.
BY so doing, you are placing your
self in contact with the jobs in your
own community and the jobs in
other sections of the country for
which you are qualified. If you are
employed now but your past training
qualities you for a better job, a job
requiring more skill than you now
use. then you, too, should register
Immediately with your local State
employment Office. And don't take
the chance of following rumors or
offers of work in some other locality
without first getting the facts about
the situation from your nearest en-
ployment office.
To hrlI n
UP on their old skills, and to young
men and women who desire Voca-
tional training, our message Is.
Evening star., 1941-01-14

Of workers who can be employed.
Many of these applicants travel
long distances and reach the plants
only to learn either that the jobs
are filled or that they are not able
to qualify for them.
Workers themselves are at fault
when, instead Of getting the facts
from their local State employment
office. they follow such implied
promises of jobs or rumors or news
paper stories of the letting of de-
fense contracts.
Cooperation Is Essential.
The unnecessary movement Of
workers from place to place must
be discouraged by all employers and
encouraged by none. Employers
must place their orders for addi-
tional workers with their State en-
ployment Offices. They must VOL
unfairly cease to use other methods
and deal with the public employ
ment services exclusively In secur-
ing new workers. Workers must
register with their local State en-
ployment Offices and consult with
them before leaving their homes in
search of jobs. Only by such CO.
operation can the needs of indus
try for workers be met effectively
and without confusion.
The United States Employment
Service has been designated as a
defense agency. AS such, there
fore, it has the right to demand the
cooperation Of every worker and
every employer. 1t is the duty of
