Employers Are Urged
To Cooperate, Avoid
Worker Shortages

Secretary of Labor Tobin today
appealed to defense production
employers to cooperate with the
United States Employment Service
and State Employment offices in
order to effect the best distribu-
ton of available manpower.
He asked that there be no pirat-
ing and boarding of labor or re-
cruitment of workers outside the
community before local manpowel
resources have been tapped.
Because of the Tightening labor
market and increasing, demands
for defense workers, the Secretary
asserted that it was vitally neces-
sary that orderly methods be fol-
lowed in the stating of defense
plants.
Warns of Shortage.
UNLESS employers cooperate
with the Bureau (Of Employment
Security and the State Employ
ment services occupationa,
shortages now occurring basis will
tered and localized basis will
spread rapidly with consequent
impairment of the defense effort,
Mr.. Tobin declared.
Five hiring practices which en-
ployers should follow and foul
they should avoid were suggested
by the Labor Department. To be
cooperative employers should:
l. Consult promptly with the
local office manager of the State
Employment Service regarding
immediate and anticipated man.
power needs.
2. Obtain from the S. E. S
manager all available information
concerning the labor market sit
uation.
8. Examine manpower require
ments carefully in order to as
sure the numbers requested, the
time needed and occupational
specifications are realistic.
Disruptive Practices Listed.
4. Make full use of locally avail
able manpower before recruiting
outside workers. If outside re-
cruiting becomes necessary, the
local S. E. S. Office can, through an
established Nationwide system OF
orderly clearance, assist in locat-
ing the workers required.
S. Review carefully with the
s. E. S. manager the manpowel
situation before undertaking ad-
vertising for the purpose of re-
cruiting workers.
The following disruptive hiring
practices should be avoided:
/. Pirating of workers from
other essential activities.
2. Advertising indiscriminate-
ly for manpower.
8. Establishing specifications
for workers which are higher than
the minimum requirements for the
work.
4. Hiring a greater number of
workers than needed or than can
be readily absorbed within a rea-
sonable period of time.

that time had any right to make
promises"
The point is this: the west side
didn't get any promises last year
because the city commission, act
ing illegally, took the decision in
their own hands about having a
tax. Now, however, it is entirely
different. The State Supreme
Court having declared that pro-
cedure not lawful, the matter now
rests in the hands of the voters.
Now they have to make promises.
This time they should not be al
lowed so easily to make promises
they don't intend to keep.
That is why a large turnout to
the public hearing should occur
on April s.. Our Leaders" have
many times indicated that they
are not going to do too much for
us. This time it should be a turn
out of the common man, the little
citizen who is most affected by
income taxes. Let's this once give
audible expression to our desires.
