War Plants In
New York Will
Hire Few Women

New York city ULNS) Women in
New York state will not be working in
war production plants I" any great
extent in the near future if the cStI-
mates of ,iOO employers holding war
contracts are correct.
According to n joint report released
by the Division of Women in Industry
and Minimum Wage. Stat" Department
of Labor and the L. s. Employment
Service for New York, about $4,000
more women will be hired in the next
six months by these Industries. During
this same period these employers eN-
pcct Ia add II total of approximately
81 900 men and women 10 their present
work force of GJO,,p
The estimated hiring of women Is
conservative, the report states, because
il does not account fully for replace
mcntS of men by women which may
result from the draft and II does not
include the number of employees To be
added by 90 employers who could not
forecast expansion. Half of them will

Of women, which Is the second made
since the beginning of the year by the
two agencies, covered mainly firms in
the metal industries employing at least
30 workers. The second survey showed
practically no change since January in
the policy of employers toward the
hiring of women. The male labor sup
ply, especially IN New York City, is
the rapid hiring of women in war
production. More than two-thirdS OF
the women will be hired outside of the
city.

Labor Scarcity Program

Washington, d. c. ULNS).-Draft
deferments granted railroad workers
will not solve permanently the problem
of manning and maintaining the rail
roads in the face of increasing labor
shortage. officials of the Office of De
fense Transportation told representa-
tivpS of the railroad industry at Il
meeting here.
At best, the railroad men We're fur
ther told, granting of deferment must
be considered only as an opportunity
to train workers to replace those called
to duty with the armed services.
Suggested measures by which rail
roads might ease their labor situation
included proposals for changing the
hiring age limits and relaxing physical
requirements, making Il campaign TO
rehire former employees, including those
who have retired, employing women
wherever possible and making full use
of government employment offices.

Negotiations "for fair and reasonable

Employers Asked to Cooperate.

in their home areas, so that calcula-
tions will not be upset. President
Roosevelt requested Government
agencies and private employers to
give employees sufficient time" for
registration.
There will be no transient regis

vious registrations. Persons from
out-of-town will go to the most con-
venient center. Washington youths
who are away from the city Tuesday
may register where they happen
to be.
No lottery will follow this registra-
ton. For the first time, order num-
bers will be arranged according to
birth dates, the oldest men first. In
case of tie, order numbers will be
assigned alphabetically.
The birth dates in this registra-
ton range from January l, 1922.
