employment offices in areas having an
undersupply of labor are being re-
ferred to war production jobs before
requests are filled for workers in ci-
william production, it was announced
lately by Federal Security Admins
traitor Paul V. NIcNutt.
"Granting preference in labor refer
rails to employers engaged in war pro.
! duction is as necessary to winning the
war as the system of materials and
equipment priOritieS," the Administra-
tor stated. I'm areas where lack OF
skilled workers is most acute. prefer
ence may have to be granted even as
between holders of priority ratings
and, if so, will follow the priority
ratings assigned them by the War Pro
duction Board" Mr.. McNutt said.
Exceptions to this policy, it was eX-
planned may be made in particular
cases when such exceptions will pro
mote war production, and instructions
for special preferences will be issued
TO local offices of the United States
Employment Service when necessary
as for skilled workers at Army and
Navy civilian establishments outside
the continental United States
The plan rests upon the voluntary
cooperation of workers and employers
it was pointed out. and is intended to
ings Al to A-1O with first call on
skilled labor needed in war production
The following rules have been
adopted for the guidance of local EN-
ployment offices
L. Employers will not receive pre-
ferred service unless they are using
fully the Skills of their employees and
nave made provision for breaking down
jobs, for upgrading and transferring
workers, and for use of training facili-
! ties.
=. Preference will be extended only
To those departments or units of q
plant which have priority ratings.
>. AS between employers engaged in
! war production, those having higher
priority ratings will be preferred above
those with lower ratings.
+. War-production plants within the
local labor clearance area will be pre-
ferred above those outside that are:
without respect to their priority rat
ingS. If the outside employer has q
higher rating, however, qualified appli
workers and given an opportunity tI
accept employment outside the area.
5. Employers with priority ratings
for plants outside the immediate clear
ance area will have preference over
local employers not engaged in wal
production, although applicants will b'
informed of the local job openings fol
which they are qualified.
Exceptions to These rules are author
ized if the local public employment of
flee finds that an employer with The
higher priority rating cannot uS'
workers Immediately because of mater
ial shortages or delayed deliveries. o
that the employer with Il lower pri
orily rating is far ahead schedule du'
To lack of workers. cannot operate IA
all without some of the requested work
crS, can put many relatively unSkille'
persons to work if ne can get Il few
skilled workers, or needs Il few work
crS in order To perform essential com
munity functions or services. If thpr
is only II slight difference in two EN-
ployers' priority ratings, applicant
will be referred to both on Il propol
iional basis, If by doing so greater pre-
ducton will be attained than if on
employers request for workers wer
completely filled.
