GREETINGS TO LABOR SCHACHNER LEATHER & BELTING CO. 1124 South Mint Street CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA I . LABOR DEPARTMENT WOMEN’S DIRECTOR SPEAKS (Continued From Page 1) types of work requiring special training. But most of the women offering their services for defense jobs lack training and experience or have been out of the labor force long enough to need retrain ing. The problem and expense of training them will not be un dertaken by industry until man agement faces a severe shortage of people already trained for the jobs in which workers are needed. There are acute shortages in some of the fields in which women pre-dominate, such as the clerical occupations, nursing, teaching and ] hotel and restaurant work. Miss Miller pointed out that on the basis of existing estimates, the defense program as now j planned will require about 3 1-2 j million more civilian workers by the end of 1952. Many of these will be workers now on the job, who will become defense workers automatically when the output of their plants is converted f»*om civilian to defense uses. The “normal” growth of the labor force will provide nearly one mil | lion workers a year. Additional workers needed (approximately 1 1-2 million) must come from the people not normally in the labor mgrket, the largest pro portion of whom are housewives and other women who do. not or dinarily hold down jobs outside the home. Their induction Into the defense program will undoubt edly be more orderly and gradual than was the spectacular en trance of women into industry during World War II, Miss Miller predicted. Hand in hand with orderly re cruitment comes the second step —effective utilization of women —“Now is the time to review our experience in the last war and benefit from the lessons we learned then,” Miss Miller said. “Productivity was high, as was morale, in those plants where the rate for the job was estab lished bringing women’s pay to the level of men’s on comparable jobs. Productivity was high, due to low turnover and absenteeism, in plants situated where the com munity recognized a need for services for women workers such as child care centers, adequate housing, transportation facilitiesg and shopping facilities. On this Labor Day, I urge employers, workers, and local community or ganizations to plan together so that we can utilise our woman power resources effectively.” Greetings To Labor Dixie Wholesale Meal Co.

SAMUEL ROMPERS ALWAYS LOOKED AHEAD (Continued From Page 1) stands for industrial peace, and presents a rational method for the inauguration for fairer and more Just conditions for all. Labor Day marks a new epoch in the annals of human history. It differs essentially from other holidays of the year in any country, for it glorifies no armed conflicts or battles of man’s prowess over man. Though now sanctioned by the laws of state and nation. Labor Day—labor’s holiday—was cel ebrated by organised labor long before any legal enactment. No martial glory or warlike pomp signals Labor Day. The marching hosts of workers man ifest their growing intelligence and their unalterable determi nation for the effarement of the unnatural and brutal causes that impel man to raise his hand against his brother. URGESTRUMAHTO ESTABLISH FEDERAL FEPC International President Lester Washburn of the United Auto Workers, AFL sent the following wire to President Harry Truman this week: International Union, UAW-AFL urges you to establish emergency federal FEPC during present de fense buildup period. Need for more workers alone would justify declaration of such an emergency measure but Cicero riots and oth er evidences elsewhere of con tinued Un - American discrimina tion against people of other races, colors, creeds, and our leadership in ideological struggle of free na tions against communism are ad ditional arguments for this action by you. afl auto local BUYS CHI BUILDING (Continued From Page 1) which is expected to seat close to a thousand people.
