Workingmen of America
-what did we promise
our boys in France
7.
Just this: That every minute of the day,
every time they went into a trench,
every time they went over the top, in
anight patrol, every time they swept
forward to smash a German trench,
every time they risked
themselves for the sake
of Liberty and America
that we'd be back of
them to the last ditch,
giving for them, work
ing for them, fighting
for them in our fac-
tories to give them all
the "tools" they need to
lick the Kaiser. ,, f
There is only one way
to make good on that
promise and that is
for every last one of us,
whether he runs a lathe
or t'uns a 10,000-man
plant, to put mVr?
minute of his working
day where it does the
most good." Every working minute lost
or wasted means less help for our men
across the sea.
And there are not just minutes but
whole days lost every time a man
changes his job. A man has to be
m
found to replace him. He loses time
in moving. He takes time to catch on
to the ways in the new plant.
When a manufacturer needs more men
it is his duty to the coun-
S i" .
try as a whole not to dis
turb plants that are en
gaged in essential war
work, but- to get the
Government's help i n
finding men who can be
taken from less import
ant work. This can be
done through the na
tional labor clearing
house that the Govern
ment has established
with 500 branch offices
and 20,000 agents of its
recruiting division, the
United States Public
Service Reserve. There
is no charge ana the
Service is now placing
250,000 skilled and "un
skilled men monthly.
Let's keep ALL the essential war work
going at top speed. Tell your labor
needs to the local Examiner-in-Charge,
local agent of the U. S. Public Service
Reserve or to the Director Genreal at
Washington.
