On the
Business
front
By WARD SCHULTZ



. Many a corporation Is watching
q plan to cope with the problem
/, OF occupational deferments re-
Gently put into effect by Nash
Kelvinator Corporation.
In fact, the plan has proved SO
successful that the state draft
board Is said to have suggested
that other firms initiate a similar
system.
- With the drift Of workers into
. the army reaching an accelerated
pace as announcements came from
different sources that occupational
deferments would shortly be dis
! continued, Nash Kelvinator faced
"a problem.
I. II established a new department
which catalogued every employe
and collected data on draft status,
dependents, etc. When requests for
deferments are made now, this de-
partment makes out a complete
report, stating all details OF the
case including the type OF work
the employee Is doing. what he Is
producing, how many he produces
: and why he Is irreplaceable.
The department follows the case
right through and on occasion has
!. appealed individual cases beyond
the local board.
ONE OF the first jobs this de-
partment had to do was to educate
the workers to notify IL whenever
there was any change in their
status.
q In the past. many had taken the
attitude. that they had no right to
(, seek preference and therefore had
not mentioned change in classi-
fication. Observation-Disclosures has ex-
planned to them their obligation to
continue production and has been
careful to point out that no untus-
Ys sied defermen'' would be re-
Zach deferment Is taken UP with
q plant committee which consists
of the factory superintendent. the
employment manager. the chief
inspector of the plant affected, the
firms contact man with the gov
eminent, and an office representa-
tive.
GREAT EST DIFFICULTY
faced by Nash-Kelvinator was es-
tablishment to the individual draft
boards of a mans indispensability
when he had only been on a given
fob for few short months.
Most draft officials assumed
that il one man could be trained
to do the job In that short period.
SO could a replacement be trained.
Spacious reasoning was Nash
Kelvinator's answer.
THEY POINTED out that such
a procedure would inevitably leave
them In the position Of always OPP
Grating q new plant. The corpora
ton is working on items which
they never dreamed OF producing
prior to the war, so that many
men have been on a job only few
months but have been on II ever
since the company started produc-
ing the particular war item.
In any event, Nash-Kelvinator
has found that the system has pro-
duced results and officials point TO
production figures as proof that
the move was justified.

Stripping Farms
of Labor Laid
To Wdr. Wages
Senator Wants Gar
Over Manpower to Save
Crops Worth Billions
BY ELLIOTT HAYES
News Service stan Writer

International News service stan writer
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-As
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
and Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
draft director, were summoned be-
fore Congress for testimony on the
serious drain of farm labor. Sem
ator Ellison d. Smith CD of North
Carolina today demanded a COM
plete new national manpower sys-
TEN to assure the nation enough
men for military. industrial and
farm armies.
At the same time, Senator
Claude Pepper CD of Florida
asked appointment of committee
Iof five senators to investigate the
Imanpower commission.
LURED INTO PLANTS
Wickard and General Hershey
were called before the House agri-
culture committee to answer ques-
tions on how the draft and the
lure of high industrial wages are
causing shortage of farm help.
Smith, chairman of the Senate
agriculture committee, declared
that "selective service is not doing
the job" adding that it is not the
fault Of the men in charge, but
the fault of system that is in
adequate to our national needs"

dieting that we win lose one
third of our 1912 farm crop for
lack Of farm labor" Smith said.
THAT Is q loss that will rum into
billions-not nero millions. It

such q condition should exist"
BLAMES WAR WAGES
Smith said he believed that high
wages being paid in industry were
more responsible by far than the
draft for the shortage of farm
labor. - M
There Is nothing left for us
to do" Smith said, "but to re-
wise tho whole manpower setup

There should be . national
manpower council established at
once with power to create pools

Smith said he was hesitant
about Congress voting a draft OF
labor but asserted that it might
become necessary soon, in order
to avoid registration of women
who, he held, should be kept al
home"

To THE EDITOR:
TIIE English people found that
they had made a great mistake
when they destroyed thousands
Of their pet animals in antici-
patton OF air raids.
Later they discovered that the
animals helped sustain morale
and cheer up their owners who
cherished them.
On the basis Of the English cX-
pericnce. the American Red Star
Animal Relief, a department of
the American Humane Society,
has prepared a series Of leaflets
on the care of small animals, Of
horses and of farm animals.
Much depends on the owners
knowing how TO care for animals
that become panic-stricken and
suffer from fear as much as we
do. They can become danger
Gus if not cared for.
The Anti-Cruelty Association
will gladly give out leaflets on
the care of dogs. cats and horses
to all those who will call at the
