Draft Still
Big Problem
Of Industry

NEW YORK, March 9.-The
draft and its drain on war workers
is the prime problem of most arms
plants today, according to the
Wall Street Journal.
The much publicized problem OF
"absenteeism" apparently is Sec
ondary by comparison.
This is revealed in survey of
factory personnel executives in
five key war production centers.
Almost universally they report
that heavy draft calls are their
chief worry. With the labor supply
getting down to the bottom of the
barrel, requirements are increas-
ingly difficult to get.
An aircraft plant in the Los
Angeles area, for example, reports
that it is hiring 1000 workers a
week, three-quarters of tn m
women. Meantime il is losing 1000
a week, due in good part to the
draft, although some of those
leaving are taking other jobs. An
other West Coast arms plant re-
ports 1000 men month being
drafted.
WILLOW RUN HIT
Probably the hardest pressed of
all factories in the Detroit area
on this point is the huge Ford
Willow Run bomber plant. The
draft has been of paramount i'm
portance there, for this plant hired
thousands of draft age men during
its first months of operation, Most
of these are now gone and re-
placements had to be trained to
take their places, at time when
the plant was seeking additional
workers by the thousands.
Not all Detroit plants suffer
from this labor shortage problem.
The manufacturers of tanks, for
instance, have curtailed operations
because of a shortage of material
and because il was decided to hold
back on tank production.
WOMEN REPLACEMENTS
In the case of such plants as
Willow Run, however, every man
drafted is a source of great con-
Germ to the management. At this
bomber plant the draft has hurt
more than absenteeism although
that is running high; as more and
more women are hired it is ex-
pected to 60 even higher.
Personnel men in Chicago,
Cleveland and Philadelphia also
agree in listing the loss of workers
to the armed services as their
major problem.
Although most personnel men
are inclined to think of absentee
ism only after the draft difficulty
and the broader problem of find
ing enough workers. most of them
are hard at work trying to hold it
down.
A recent survey of the Asso-
ciated Industries of Cleveland,
however. indicates that absentee
ism there is on the uptrend, de-
spite a campaign against it.

Brown Rebukes
Herring S Effort
To RevampOP
Detroit Time. washington Bureau


WASHINGTON, March 9-For-
mer Senator Brown is still boss OF
the OPA.
And former Senator Herring OF
Iowa, it was said in informed
Washington circles today is
among those who is now actually
aware of il.
Herring, deputy administrators
of the OPA, had a rhetorical slap
on the wrist 10 remind him OF IT,
il was said. Herring was called in
by Brown TO help popularize the
newly projected, streamlined OPA.
He jumped in with both feet. He
called a meeting of a six-man COM
mittee TO pull the OPA setup
apart, to revise and revitalize its
policies, but the meeting did not
come off as planned.
TRIED TOO MUCH
Not all the men he summoned
From sources outside
the OPA, this explanation was
forthcoming;
Herring tried TO grab off too
much. He was asked by Brown
10 make survey of the setup-
but that's all. Any announce
ments about personnel or policy
will come from Brown. He's still
the boss.
Herring was invited In by
Brown on the theory that he
could be helpful with Congress,
could help to sell Browns new
policies of cooperation instead
Of breakdown to Capitol Hill.
CAN BE USEFUL
HE can, and viii, be very
useful I'm that capacity. and he
can he very helpful TO the whole
OPA setup. But Brown will de-
termine the course, and will
make any announcements"
Brown plans. il was emphasized,
10 seek an honor system in
stead of the breakdown program.
Congressional circles speculated
that Herring had been thrust on
Brown, one lame duck on another.
But, within the ranks of the OPA,
il was insisted that Herring was
Browns own choice.

The company in its recent layof of

AS the result of these open shop
practices, new applications for

week, said Howard.
Recently the Pratt & Whitney plant
laid off several thousand employees
during the process of retooling several
shops for new designs required by the
Armed forces.
The company sent letter to each
employe at his home informing him
that it would not engage in wholesale
layoffs but would transfer workers
temporary to other departments OF
even other plants. To this it added:

Aroused over the drive to relax

tons unanimously opposing
the effort to break down the
labor standards for children
in bowling alleys.
These actions are the result
of the recent announcement
that bowling alley patrons
have petitioned the Governor
to use his War Powers to re-
duce the working age of boys
for pin setting. These peti.
tons which we're originated
and pushed by alley owners,
bore the signatures of hun
dreds of Bridgeport industrial
workers. as well as from bowl.
ers from all parts of the state.
Peter Bernard, president of the
C.E.U., introduced the resolution
in the central body. This action con-
dennis the efforts being made to
legalize the employment of boys
under Is, in bowling alleys, and
asks both Gov. Baldwin and Com
missioner Danaher to preserve and
uphold the labor laws regarding
the employment of minors. 1t also
provides for circularizing all ALL.

support in the cause.
Joseph Cleary, Local 191, Team

work in bowling alleys was haz-
