RECRUITING OF COMMON LABOR BEGINS TODAY U. S. Assumes Labor Control Through Public Service Reserves Over Country. Beginning Thursday, unskilled labor in the United States practically will be under Federal control through operation of the national recruiting program of the war labor policies board. Demands for war work will be drawn upon if need be for such part of their forces as may be required to meet any deficiency of labor in lines essential to the government's plans. Competitive bidding for workers by advanced wage schedules is prohibited, and "labor poaching" wherein effort is made to entice men from one war industry to another, will be under ban. The United States employment service will assume the task of supplying workers to plants engaged in war material production, and all problems of sufficient labor for this purpose will be handled. through the department. Included in the program is definition of quotas of unskilled labor needed in each community and transfer of men necessary to give each district its allotment. Standardization of wages is another important phase of the situation which will be adjusted by the parent board in Washington. Community Boards Control. Administration of the program will be intrusted to community boards upon which employer and employe shall have equal representation, with a representative of the United States employment service to act as chairman. State directors of labor will have im mediate jurisdiction on all matter of controversy with a final appeal permitted to the war labor policies board at Washington. The United States Public Service Reserve is the title of the division of the war labor policies board In charge of the employment service. Hays Buskirk, assistant director for Indiana of Ihe reserve, yesterday announced the following appointments of organizers who will be directors in the five zones, comprising 106 districts, of the state: District No. 1 Northwestern Indiana, Clarence A. Fry, Gary. District No. 2 Northeastern and part of central Indiana, Harry W. Mueller, Fort Wayne. District No. 3 Eastern and Southeastern Indiana, Richard E. Hoover, Richmond. District No. 4 Central Indiana, Hubert Beck, Bloomington. District No. 5 Southwestern Indiana, K. G. Buskirk, Bloomington. Incident to the announcement, however, came the report from Washington that Mr. Mueller of the Second District has been commissioned first lieutenant in the Quartermaster Corps, United States army, and it will be necessary therefore, to name his successor. Offices Now Operating. The five organizers will proceed at once to the completion of the county organizations under the public service reserve and arrange for their co-operation with the community war labor

boards. Federal employment offices are now in operation in Indiana at the following places: Evansville, 309 Upper second street; Fort Wayne, Physicians Defense Building; Indianapolis, . 225 North Pennsylvania street, for men, and Room 235 Federal Building for women; Kokomo, City Hall; South Bend, Court House; Terre Haute, 13 North Sixth street. The war labor policies board is composed of representatives of the War, Navy, Labor and Agricultural Departments, the war industries board, the shipping board, the emergency fleet corporation and the food, fuel and railroad administrations. In the official bulletin of the United States employment service the following paragraph appears concerning enforcement of the program: "The program will be enforced primarily by the desire and purpose of every patriotic citizen to comply with the announced policies of the government in the war emergency, ultimately by the full force of every governmental department represented on the tfar labor policies board." Employers engaged in non-war work are required to refrain from offering superior inducements or in any way competing with, or endeavoring to get labor from, the government or employers engaged in war work. They should advertise for labor only under supervision and control by the local representative ' of the United States Employment Service.

Farms and Roads Protected. The caution is empnasizea mat employers shall not recruit for war work from farms and railroads. Manufacturers are to fill out blanks to be sent to the government employment offi cials stating their needs and weeKiy reports of conditions are required. Transfers of men to meet needs of communities will be done as expeditiously as possible, and a , "revolving fund" has been established to pay for transportation of workers from the point of over supply to the place where a shortage exists. In defining the rights of employers and employes the bulletin employs a series of questions and answers which covers different angles of possible situations. Employers are not restricted in the choice of men recruiting for them, and applicants without cards from the employment service can be hired if they do not appear to be engaged in other war work. Where less than 100 men are employed the provisions of the program do not apply. Workers are under no compulsion to enter war work. Men . will not be sent to plants where a strike is in progress with a view of helping either side to the controversy, and there will be no "blacklist" established by the government. A man can change employment without consent of the Employment Service but is urged to get such a permit. Ultimately, skilled workers will be included in the program and preliminary to its extension to them agents of the government are instructed to "comb" the country to list every available man who comes under that classification. War Work Defined. The bulletin thus defines war work: "The manufacturer of products or erection of structures directly or indirectly supplied to some department of the government for use in connection with the war. 'Indirectly supplied" includes goods delivered under subcontracts to government . contractors. Railroads and farms are engaged in war work to the extent that under this program they are to be protected from all recruiting by other industries. "For the purposes of this program, the making of products which ulti-;

mately may be used for war purposes, but which re not delivered either directly to the government or to. some contractor who uses them in producing, or as a part of, products to be delivered to the government .is not considered w;ar work." Quotas are to be established to protect any state or community irom being drained unfairly, and to insure a fair contribution to the needs of war work from all parts of the country. The employment service will not draw from any community above its allotted

quota. The total demand will first be apportioned among states and each state will be subdivided among communities. Eventually the program will be extended to include women, and in connection with this anticipated activity the division of women in industry of the Department of Labor is now making exhaustive investigation into the status of women workers. In Indianapolis and other large cities a Federal employment office for women is maintained, and applicants are placed as far as possible in war work of their choice. The special function of the newly established division will be to find the work best suited to this class of labor. In a statement issued June 17, 1918, by President Wilson, in which he calls upon employers and workers alike to work in co-operation with the war labor policies board, is the following definition of need for the supervision and its purpose: "Such a condition is unfair alike to employer and employe, but most of all to the nation itself, whose existence is threatened by any decrease in its productive power. It is obvious that this situation can be clarified and equalized by a central agency the United States employment service of the De partment of Labor, with the counsel of the war labor policies board as the voice of all the industrial agencies of the government. Such a central agency must have sole direction of all recruiting of civilian workers in war work; and, in taking over this great responsibility, must at the same time have power to assure to essential industry an adequate supplyof labor, even to the extent of withdrawing workers for nonessential production. It must also protect labor from appeals made to it under the plea of patriotism, and assure it that when it is asked to volunteer in some priority Industry, the need is real. ."There has been much confusion as to essential products. There has been ignorance of conditions men have gone hundreds of mllea in search of a job and wages which they might have found at their doors. Employers holding government contracts of the high est importance have competed fori workers with holders of similar contracts, and even with the government itself, and have conducted expensive campaigns for recruiting labor in sections where the supply of labor was already exhausted. California draws its unskilled labor from as far east as Buffalo and New York from as far west as the Mississippi. Thus labor has been induced to move fruitlessly from one place to another, congesting the railways and losing both time and money."
