While attacking this problem,
newspapers have shouldered addi-

metal. At the same time, they must
conform to restrictions on paper
and other vital materials, trans

Maintaining the full effectiveness
of free United States press. one
OF the last lines of unfettered pub
lie communication in a troubled
world, will be the underlying eco
nomic topic of the publishers. This
problem taxes the ingenuity OF the
production and advertising offices,
as well as the editors desks.
The three-day convention opens
Tuesday with dailies of circulations
OF $4,000 or less going into session
on production problems. under the
Craftsmanship Of Clare Marshall of

1T is a breach of faith with the

There has been altogether too

"On matter affecting the Ameri-

as food, We should insist upon open
covenants openly arrived at
The presence of the accredited
press at the working sessions of this
conference is minimum of protec-
ton which the Government owes

to doubt, and doubt leads to fears
and boarding"
Not only should the press be al
lowed to attend all sessions of the
food conference. Mr.. Willis said,
but representatives OF Congress
should also be present to protect
the interests of the people here at
home.
In the light Of the costly mis-
takes which have been made in the

said, lit would seem wise to also
have representatives of the food in

Federal Job Service
To Recruit Workers
For All Employers
New Policy Will Ronae
From Housewives to
Industry Heads

Service will start recruiting
workers for all employers from
housewives to industry heads,
whether engaged in war work or
not, RAINY B. Deschner, Wash

The new policy, he explained,

a much better position to utilize all
available workers and to assist all
employers in making the manpover
adjustments required by the war
with the least possible disruption of
the civilian economy
Benefits of Policy.
CLOSE contact with less essential
employers" he added, will enable
the United States Employment Of
fees to facilitate the transfer of
workers with critical skills to war
industries and at the same time
make certain that the employer in
a service trade or civilian industry
retains an adequate labor force"
Although it will serve all employ
ers Ito the extent possible with it's
available staff the employment
service will give first choice of
workers to essential employers and
those engaged in locally needed ac-
tivities."
The new procedure modihes the
policy in effect since last June when
| the employment service was author
lied to refuse service to less essen
tial employers and concentrate on
meeting labor needs in war in
dustries and other essential activi-
ties. Recently, The order was modi-
fed to include the seven locally
needed activities"
Must Correct Conditions.
Priorities in service for essential
employers. Mr.. Deschner said. may
be denied to any firm in which the
following conditions exist, unless
appropriate steps are being taken to
correct the situation:
l. If the working conditions are
less favorable than those prevailing
In the area for similar work in
similar establishments.
2. If the establishment is making
/ improper or inefficient use of the
existing labor force,
3 If an employer whose wage rate
Is less favorable than those prevail
ing in the area for similar work in
similar establishments does not take
appropriate steps to secure a wage
adjustment when such action is
suggested by the area war man
