GIVES REASON FOR
LABOR MOBILIZATION

this explanation of the general mobi
Hecretary
eruiting for which Is to begin August
1 under direction of the United Btates
Employment Service :
“ Beginning with common labor, thie
service will gradually take charge of
the mobilizing and placing of all lebor
tor war industries employing 100 or
affect all other industries and all other
workers. It will correct, the abuses
and the troubles growing out of the
large, labor, turnover with the conese-
quent disruption of regular work.
*‘ Every safeguard must be taken to
protect the standard of living and the
citizenship of ite right to growth and
time for education. We must also
dant upon the large entrance of
women into heavy and hazardous
industries,
“The exigencies of war times should
not be made the ocoasion for the
breaking down of those atandarde of
hours, wages, and conditions of work
which are designed to protect the
childhood, the womenhood and the
motherhood of the present and oi the
future,
“ Experts tell us it takes from 6 to 10
workers at home to keep one soldier
on the firing line in Europe. Whats
ever, therefore, helps to mobilizes, dis
tribute, and energize those who do the
work of our war industries has become
as important a factor in wioniog the
war as the prowess of our armies in
the field or our Navy on the seas ",

ing of the war depends on man power |

“ England and France began as the
United Btates has been tempted to be-
gin—by letting the children pay too
heavily for the war in child iabor, in-
creased delinquency, overtaxed nerves,
weakened bodies, and premature
deaths, but England and France
tarned to lift war burdens from the
children by giving them a chance to
play. There is urgent need to give
our boys and girls an American square
deal—their safety valve of play.’
