ABSENTEEISM UP
IN WAR PLANTS

Urging workers to report to work
more regularly now that the in
vasion has started, Felix A.
Scroggs, U. S. Employment Serv-
ice manager, revealed yesterday
that absenteeism from Wilmington
war plants by common laborers
and helpers is up to 20 per cent.
The evils of war worker absen-
teeism were described by Scroggs,
who declared it was necessary
for some employers to keep con-
siderable more workers on their
payrolls than necessary, in order
to have certain number OF men
there daily to get the allotted work
done"
Continuing, he said some labor
srs and helpers have indicated to
me they didn't think their jobs
were 80 important and, therefore,
believed it didn't make as much
difference whether they were at
work as in the cases of skilled
workers.
THAT is not the case" Scroggs
asserted. I'm one instance thi S
week, one plant had no lanorsrs
on the job at all and it was neces-
sary to take skilled men at mucf
higher rates of pay and put them
to doing work in order that the
construction could proceed. Ano
then it amounted to one-half the
rate of usual production"
However, the employment Official
said it was felt by this office thai
since the invasion started, these
workers will realize the Importance
of their work to the war effort ane
report to work more regularly"
