SERVICES COOPERATE

This authority, Nelson said, has
not been challenged by the armed
services and they are giving WIPE
their complete cooperation.
Officials credit Cordiner with
revolutionizing scheduling during
the few weeks he has been on the

obtain a decision from the chiefs
of staff on how the 100000 man
army of 1913 would he disposed

McNutt Studies
Experts Report
On Absenteeism

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 tINS)
[War Manpower Chief Paul V.
McNutt today studied report by
experts in his organization that
abSenteeism among workers can
not be eliminated from the ma
tion's booming war factories.
Despite the insistence Of produc-
tion officials that abSenteeiSm is
one OF the country's most serious
manpower problems, VINO Of
ficials have concluded that the
best that can be hoped for is a
reduction in rate of absenteeism.
In lengthy report on the sub
ject, the WINGS statistical serv-
Ice said:
"Absenteeism cannot he eliml-
mated. IL can. however, be re-
duced by various methods.
DETERMINE CAUSES p
"Any general campaign 10 re-
duce absenteeism shoul d be
geared into a program OF re-
ducing work stoppages due 10
shortages OF materials and parts
and Of eliminating labor hoard
ing"
The report recommended that
W NC field agents determine
causes and factors involved in the
high abSenteeiSm rates in partlcu-
. lar plants and devise remedies,
pending the employment Of labor
uti1iZ tion inspectors by the
agency.
McNutt previously has disclosed
that he hopes 10 have a large
force of such inspectors to survey
war plants throughout the nation
and recommend action in indivld-
ual plants for better utilization Of
labor.
Detroit evening times., 1943-01-18
CREATION DELAYED

II was repor t-e q that the
ration Of this staff has been
.layed by the congressional re-
uuirement that VINO employees
earning over $500 be confirmed
by the Senate, Informed sources
said that this factor had deferred
many civilian industrial experts
from coming into the WMC
organization
The WMC report gave as q
ma ior reason Of abScnteeiSm The
high wages paid in many war
plants.
Despite increased living
costs, there are certainly many
workers who can take time off
and still maintain standard Of
living higher than they had pre-
viously enjoyed" the report
said
The report pointed out how
ever. that reduction Of pay
would only cause "an increase IN
the number Of quits in that plant.
OTHER CAUSES
Other causes OF abSente2lSm
were listed as illness, accidents.
inadequate housing and transpor-
tation. poor morale and increased
hours Of work.
"For obvious reasons" the re-
port SAID. "absenteeism tends 10
increase a. the scheduled work
week becomes longer. The more
time the worker spends on the
lob. the less free time he has 10

the more likely he Is 10 take
