16ob Of j. ). Women
To Be Needed in War
Work, McNut Says
Will Fill 30 Per Cent of All
Non-Form Jobs, He Tells
D. {. Democratic Club

During the next Is months one out
of every six women between 18 and
IS years OF age will be needed In
war work. Paul v. McNutt. chairman
of the War Manpower Commission,
told members of the Women's Demo-
cratic Club of Washington today.
In Great Britain, women are now
well represented in industry he
said. There has been more of
change from normal, perhaps, than
will be the case here, even late next
year, when We will reach our maxi
mum use of manpower, for in this
country women have long occupied
prominent places in industry and
business"
In the United States, Mr.. McNutt
explained, the armed forces today
have withdrawn from the civilian
labor force one man out of every
nine. BY the end of next year the
figure will be one out of five or pos
sibly higher. The workers who will
replace these men will be, in large
part. women, Mr.. McNutt said.
He estimated that by the end OF
1943 the number of American wom-
en- In non-agricultural war will have
amounted to 5000, 900, filling 80 per
cent of all American war 'jot,s. OF
farm workers employed In Decem-
Der. 1941. Mr.. McNutt said SOC, 100
were women and by the end Of l943
an additional 800 900 women are ex.
pected to enter this field.
Mr.. McNutt emphasized that fir-
ing of women enables an employer
to create for himself a stable work
ing force. They are less likely to be
booming from town to town in
search Of more pay and are less
liable to be drafted for military
service.
Probe bly, one in every four house
wisss living near the war factories
will take war jobs during l943
These women, as provided in the
policy statement Of the War Man
power Commission, will receive the
same wages as men doing equivalent
work.
