President at the White House that the

President to make survey of avail
able manpower and womanpower i'm
mediately.
In the meantime, Mr.. Green said as
spokesman for the Combined Labor
War Board, plans for job drafting
and job freezing will be held in abey-
ance.
eve told the President that COM
pulsion and RECOMMENDATION should be
avoided until we have exhausted our
present labor supply" Mr. Green
said. ''We must proceed to recruit
workers for war industry on demo-
cratic basis and use the available sup
ply of labor more intelligently and
more effectively We told the Presi-
dent, however, that if the time comes
when job freezing is clearly needed
for the success of the war effort, labor
will support such program"
Mr.. Green emphasized that no one
yet knows how many women can be
counted upon to take jobs to replace
men drafted into the armed services.
On the following day, Mr. Green
went a step further in testifying be-
fore a subcommittee of the Senate
Education and Labor Committee by
advocating immediate registration OF
all women between the ages of Is and
55 to determine their work experience
training and availability for industrial
employment.
Mr.. Green urged that additional
funds be supplied to the United States
Employment Service to carry on this
registration and to expedite the tabu
lation of the work questionnaires
made out some time ago by men from
the ages of 20 to 65 who were regis
tered under Selective Service. Lacl

The move is opposed by some mem

is more accessible to persons wishing

The Elections Board now occupies

"With this information" Mr. Green
continued. "the Manpower Admins
TRAITOR would be in position to mo-
blize voluntary cooperation and di-
rect workers to where they are most
needed. Knowledge of war industry
needs would provide the basis of de
ferment."
There are still 100000 unem-
ployed who can be drawn into war in

he said, there are more than As mil
lion persons over Ia who are not yet
in the labor force OF these 100000
are males and 36,800,00O are women.
Job freezing should not be resorted
to until these surpluses are absorbed,
Mr. Green insisted. He added:
eve know full well what employ
ment control will mean in terms of
human freedom and shall expect the
right of representation in making
those decisions which formerly were
our exclusive pferogatlves
"To grant more authority before
there is need, experience and machin-
cry for utilizing it will but add to
existing confusion and discomfort. To
tie workers to their jobs, denying
them the right of self -betterment
while employers can make private
profits out of this situation, is revolt
ing to free men. There is much to be
organized and put in order so that
first we can achieve full voluntary co
