THE Government asks the cooperation of all workers to do away with the unnecessary " turn - over " of labor. Since our entry into the war there has been a serious shifting of labor, which has greatly crippled essen

tial war industries. If there can be an intelligent distribution of workmen to these industries there will be less difficulty in winning the war.

Therefore, to assist both workmen and employers, the Government has organized the U. S. Employment Service as a part of the Department of Labor. Its national office is in Washington, and it has 500 branch offices and 20,000 U. S. Public Service Reserve Enrollment Agents throughout the country. It

knows labor conditions everywhere, and if gi en opportunity can direct the man seeking employment to just the job that needs him most

PRESIDENT'S STATEMENT

"Industry plays as essent ia! and ":oncrable a role in this great struggle as do our military armaments. We all recognize the truth of this, but we must also see its necessary implications namely, that industry, doing a vital task -for the nation, must receive the mpport and assistance of the nation." , "Therefore, I solemnly urge all employers engaged in war work to refrain after August 1ft, 191S, from recruiting unskilled labor in any mann?r except through this central agency U. S. Employment Service. I ui ge labor to respond as loyally as heretofore to any calls issued by this agency for voluntary enlistment in essential industry. And I ask them both alike to remember that no sacrifice will have been in vain, if we are able to prove beyend all question that the highest and best form of efficiency is the spontaneous co-cperation of a free people." WOODROW WILSON.

Thus workmen benefit through having a far-reaching and thoroughly reliable placing organization, where they are assured of being sent to sure jobs where they can do the best work to help win the war.

And the Government is enabled to fill the ranks with workers in such a way that all essential industries can be keptgoingfull speed. Thisis vitally neceseary to the success of our army in France.
