I quotas and the minimum ijvillan 1 production and services In Chicago | ,• will not be impaired sei iously. t 1 The basks of Ihe cuts, according i . to Dean William Spencer, regional WMC director, is the system of 1»i bar ceilings under which such eiu-1 ■ players have been ope-ating eiuee I last July. These ceilings are uaeed 1 ■ on each company's empioyep as of 1 the l ist payroll in March, 1944. and 1 they include both male and female ' workers. Though this new campaign aeeks male workers, it is organized to givi the employer a 1 chance t o substitute women in leases where the remaining male employ t are vital to the continuance of the business or where rhe ■ .company hasn't enough men work-1 ers to met t the quotas. The program was tried on a small |ocale in Milwaukee and other war I produetion centers but this is its ; first teat 011 a big scale. For that reason, 'he Chicago tryout is being watched closely by WMC officials. The WMC contends that every ef- | fort has b en made to protect both . employees and employe, especially < I in one feature of the plan which | haon't been tried anywhere else. ( Employers have been instructed to 1 keep 1 heir released workers on the 1 ■ payroll until they actually are on I the way t o their new war jobs. The workers' seniority and other rights a e protected, the WMC said. For the employer the plan also provides safeguards. He may substitute women or prove the plan would cause him exceptional hardf<hip< Ami both sides can appeal. —— 0 Postal Revenues To Exceed Expenditures Wartime Activity Boosts Receipts — Washington.
