The united States has the man
power and woman power, the man
agerlal resources, and the skills to
produce all the materials that our
armed forces will need to win the
war. even II fighting force of
1900, 900 to 100000 Is necessary,
according to statisticians of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance COM
pany. Despite the fact that all
service men would be drawn from
the main working force, they see
no danger Of the breaking down Of
our productive capacity, The labor
force can be increased, they say, by
approximately the same number OF
persons as the maximum number
likely to be called into military
service, the greatest accretions to
be drawn from the ranks Of women
and girls not now employed. Both
patriotic fervor and the attraction
OF relatively high wages in war in
dustries are expected to operate to
bring about the needed expansion.
Labor Force
Estimating the countrys present
labor force to be at least 54,000,000,
including 100000 unemployed, a
majority of whom are employable,
the statiSticians believe that 1t
would be entirely practicable to
draw in as many as 100000 or
5000 900 additional workers, largely
from the following classes:
Young women between the ages
Of II and 10 who are in school or
at home, including young married
women without children.
Childless women between 20 and
40 who are now engaged in home
duties.
Housewives between 40 and So,
who are either childless or whose
children are old enough to look out
for themselves.
Young men between II and 10,
not now working,
Men over go.
Many of the women who ma be
called into industry have had pre-

They Will Fight John L,

All Dairymen

Boston, April 23-(UP)-New
Englands farm leaders opened
counter offensive today designed to
thwGrt q John l.. Lewis drive to
unionize the nations 10000
dairymen and control the countrys
milk supplies.
Fourteen dirt farmers from the
six states, named temporary direc-
tors OF the newly formed agricul-
tural council of New England, met
to incorporate and formulate
campaign to Offset the aspirations
of the president Of CLOS United
Mine Workers.
Temporary Secretary John l.
Carten OF West Peabody said the
council hoped to acquaint New
England farmers with the fallacy
OF joining any group not farmer
controlled.
mo specific plan Of action has
been adopted yet" Carten said, but
in general we plan to show farmers
the advantages Of existing farm
organizations.
personally, fell that II farmers
realize the benefits Of their own
farm organizations and farmer
controlled groups, Mr.. Lewis cam
paign will fall flat in New Eng
land"
Though Carten believed union
organization had progressed only
slightly in New England, agricul-
ture Commissioner e. H. Jones OF
Vermont said the issue was Tive
ly" among western Vermont farm
ers.
1T don't know Of any actual can
gassing by the United Mine Work
ers In Vermont" Jones said. There
have been one or two mass meet
ings."
Claim 10000 Members
Union leaders claimed 10000
members among farmers in New
York, Pennsylvania and Vermont
who ship into the New York milk
she'd where, they said, prices are
notably low.
Lewis daughter Kathryn, secre-
tary-treasurer Of the UMU district

banded, said recently that dairymen
nave Joined because we can help
them get what they are entitled
to-a fair price for their milk"
I'VE are not opposed to higher
prices for dairymen, but we are
opposed to higher prices for con-
SIimers," she said.
The union reputedly has $780,
900 war chest ready to further its
campaign. According to reports,
dairymen Joining the union would
pay rs cents per COW initiation feS
and dues Of two cents for each hun
dredweight Of milk produced each
month.
The union drive is opposed by
farm groups as a threat to cooper
atives. About $50 organizers were
reported in New England where
success was unpredictable because
80 to 30 per cent Of the farmers
are members Of buying or selling
c-operatives, farm bureaus or farm
groups like the national Grange.
These groups are backing the ag-
