Three Point Program Urged.

The committee recommended q
three-point program to assure
orderly withdrawal of men from in
dustry for the armed forces: Cessa-
ton of voluntary recruitment, close
coordination of the selective service
system and the United States EN-
ployment Service, and that the
Selective service exercise it's powers
to keep workers in industries where
critical labor shortage exist.
The committee urged that a pub
lie campaign be conducted to en-
courage women to enter industry
in large numbers, and it recon-
mended further that in order to
bring from four to seven million
women into the labor force, all in
dustry training programs be stepped
up, unskilled men physically quail
fed for military duty be excluded
iron. such training, and all train
ing programs be supervised by the
manpower agency.
Nursery School Expansion.
Expansion Of nursery schools and
programs for care of Sabotage chill
dren after school hours should be
expanded rapidly, so as to make it
possible for mothers to take jobs in
industry, the committee urged. It
also recommended that the effect
on the husbands dependency status
under selective service where the
wife is working should be investi-
gated, and if it is found that this
is preventing any substantial num-
Der from working, urged that
changes be made.
The committee urged that agrees
sive campaigns be undertaken to
make hiring policies Of employers to
conform to manpower policies, and
to eliminate hiring prejudices OF all
kind, and to induce employers IN
non-essential industries to reduce
their total employment and to re-
place men with women whenever
possible.
The report said State and Federal
regulations which interfere with the
Of handicapped persons
should be suspended for the dura-
ton, and that study be made of
the possibility of ordering those in
dustries and services which are least
connected with the war effort to re-
duce their activities and thereby to
release labor.

this to the attention of the commit
tee as IAN example of waste of avail
able manpqwer and machine hours
which is going on throughout the
country.
If such instances of mismanage-
ment could be eliminated our total
manpower needs would be i'm
proved" he stated.
Work at Put and Take.
The union president said another
worker in the Texas plant had
charged that, "Our work consists
mostly Of putting something on and
some one else taking it off so you
can put it back on. I have worked
for so days, but did not do six days
work." the affidavit stated
Mr.. Brown said reports of similar
situations in other plants have been
brought to his unions attention, but
until We have investigated and OBJ
tanned signed afhdavits. / do not
desire to comment on such other in
stances of manpower waste at this
time"
Mr.. Brown read another AFFIDAVIT
from machinist in the Fort Worth
plant which stated:
Never in my life have I seen so
little production and so much waste
for plant that is vital to our effort.
Neither have I ever seen so much
dissatisfaction among men and
women due to the fact foremen
jump on them about not working
when they have nothing to do. We
might as well quit and go back to
our original jobs, back on the farm,
where we would be of better help to
the boys on our front lines"
On being questioned by Chairman
Pepper, Mr.. Brown urged these
workers be transferred to other
plants where their skills are needed.
Sees Million Out of Work.
The prediction that more than
a million building trades workers
will be unemployed in six months
was made by Harry c. Bates, vice
president Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor and treasurer of the
international Brickmasons and Plas-
terers Union.
Mr.. Bates said these workers
would have to be given an oppor-
tunity to get into other occupations,
and a survey of the unemployed in
the building trades should be started
Immediately.
He added thousands we're now
out OF work In New York and other
cities where there is no nearby
war plant.
Mr.. Bates entered protest
against ANY law that would freeze
workers to their jobs He con-
tended there is sufficient manpower
in the country if a proper place
ment and training program could
be put into effect
He said there were no plans for
the training Of these men, adding
the War Manpower Commission had
not contacted his union to devise
a replacement program.
