municipal employment services now
has more th m 200 labo! exchanges.
Reginning immediately a small ar
my of 2C.000 "Four-Minute Men" w«l
explain for two weeks the importance
of shipbuilding to the war program,
tell of the requirements of the yavds
and encourage enrollment in the Pub
lic Service Resei’ve. Ev. ry pa'T of
the United States will be cpvered in
this educational campaipn.
National Registration Week
This will culminate with “Nation^
Shipbuilders' Registration Week/* tlui
ing which all the volunteers for ship
building will be registered as to their
experience, skill, and trade by experts
, f the United State's Employment Soi
vice.
Enrollment and registration in the
Reserve of the Federal employment
M i-vice will, however, begin immed
iately in those states which already
have organized the reserve. There are
>2 such states and tiie remaining 16
are expected, to he similarly organis
ed within the next fortnight.
The international labor anions
whose members are in trades con
eeinet. with shipbuilding have oifi
eially joined in the campaign and hco
appointed enrolling agents. The var
ious state councils of defense also are
behind the educational and enrollment
woik. Each volunteeer shipbuilder
enrolled will receive a badge, 7r>,000
of which are now on their way from
Washington to the 'vest.
During “Registration Week“ the
several hundred thousand men enroll
ed will he interviewed by traveling
examiners sent out by the United
States employment seiwiee. These
will ascertain the exact experience
and fitness of each man and make a
leeord of the kind of shipyard work
for which he trained. “The right
man in ihc right job,” is the slogan
kvhich the Labor Department and the
employment service have adopted.
Each of the 4o states has oeen al
lotted a certain ijuota, according to
its density of population and indus
tries. The direction of the campaign
in tnc northwest is being handled by
1. W. Litchfield, of Roston, an asso
“ " — _
ciate director of the Public Service
Reserve. That of the middle west is
in charge of Sanford H. E. Freund, a
zone director, of St. Paul, Minn. The
campaign in the east and south will
be directed from the headquarters of
the Federal employment service and
reserve at Washington.
Purpose of .‘he Regist at ion
A n explanatory statement issued by
the Department of luibor says:
“The purpose of this national regis
tration of all men fitted for and will
ing to work in shipyards is to elimin
ate the past demoralizing independent
efforts to obtain shipyard la'»o-, which
frequently have resulted in the pie
mature and unnecessary re nova I of
workers from the so-called ‘non-es
sential’ industries, the unintentional
taking away of men by one yard from
anoihor, and the luring of men from
one section of the country to another
where they have found that the ad
vertised calls for labor did not exist
at that time.
“Every mar registered during the |
next three weeks will not be immed
iately required, and the department
urges all workers to stick to their pres
ent posts until they are so needed. It
! should be thoroughly understood that
after registration no man is compelled
to accept employment at *!• pbuilding,
but it Is expected that e?ery one en
rolled jn the Reserve will serve when
notified of opportunity. Ail such no
tices will be definite as to time, place,
! wages, and living condi'.’ons.
I “Hereafter, every shipyard in the
United States in need of men will no
j tify the United States Employment
j Service of its requirements, and these
wil be filled without delay from the
lists of unemployed and f om the
I members of the Public Service Re
* serve. By knowing in foil the num
ber and ability of the n* m in the
country available for shipbuilding, as
! well as the immediate and fu'ure la
bor needs of the shipyards, the Unit
ed States Employment Ser ace of the
Department of Labor will be able to
meet every shipbuilding labor re
quirement as long as the war shall
Iasi.”
