A Message to
erican Employers and
Workmen
n
1
H Since America entered the War there has
been a great shifting of workers, skilled
and un skilled, to speed up essential indus-
tries.
If Both employers and workers have suffered
through! an unnecessary shifting of labor.
Employers have sought men before the jobs
were refyly. Workmen have gone hundreds
of miles in search of a job and wages which
might lyiive been found at their door. This
has resulted in confusion and the loss of time
and morey.
The winning of the war depends upon the
Nation'srability to bring about maximum
production This means that the right man
must be in the right job.
Therem-re, the Govern menthas created
within tie pepaitment of Labor a national
mploynmnt system known as the U. S.
Employment Service. It's national head
quarters are in Washington. It has 500
branch offices in the principal cities of the
United States. It has 20,000 U. S. Public
Service Reserve enrollment agents.
It's service affects employer and worker
alike. By having sole direction of all re
cruiting it helps employers to secure work
ers without injuring or crippling other es
sential industries. It brings the man and the
job together.
The U. S. Employment Service protects
labor from insincere and thoughtless appeals
made to it under the plea of patriotism. It
places men in jobs where they are most
needed to win the war. It urgently recom
mends any man now employed in useful war
work to stick to his job.
If It asks the loyal and patriotic support of
workmen and employers to assist the gov
ernment to place properly every man neces
sary to bring about maximum production.
It gives a fair and square service to both.
The use of this service is a patriotic and
intelligent duty to your country.
