ONE MILLION LABORERS ARE NEEDED IN U.S. Nonessential Industries of the Nation Must Supply Them to Win the War Washington, Aug. 23.—There Is a shortage in war work of 1,000,000 unskilled laborers and the reserve of skilled workers is exhausted.

One I.ist of Nonessentials Following are the industries which the District of Columbia community labor board, the first to make an an nouncement, has listed as ninessen tial.

"The time has come for the en t're nation to realize that business as usual is no longer possible." Na than A. Smyth, assistant director of the Employment Service, told the conference.
