JOBS FOR SOLDIERS
Th United States Employ
ment Service headquarters in
Little Rock is taking up each
individual case of discharged
soldiers and sailors who apply
for employment, and endeav
oring to replace them.
The problem has not become
acute in Arkansas, as it has in
some other states, yet. But it
is important that there be the
closest co-operation between
the employers of labor and the
government agencies if such a
condition is to be avoided.
The public is being advised
by the Council of Defense and
the Labor Bureaus, through
the press, by mail, and in per
son of what they must do to
help in this great problem of
mobilizing industry.
A note oi alarm has been
sounded by the government in
the following telegram from
the department of labor to the
State Council of Defense in
Little Rock.
“Figures received by wire
each week by the United States
Employment Service show a
decrease in the demand for
labor and a corresponding in
crease in the supply. Speed in
the cancellation of war con
tracts and the demobilization
of the army is increasing dai
ly. Many industries are hesi
tating to take on any commit
ments at this time. The build
ing trades are at a standstill
and probably will remain so
until spring, and unless every
state and community organiza
tion and individual co-operates
to the fullest extent with the
teaerai service there is grave
danger of a large idle popu
lation after the first of the
year. The purchasing power
of the country at the present
time is very great, and every
possible means must be used
to stimulate business. Govern
ment plans for providing em
ployment for returning sol
diers and sailors who are now
being rapidly discharged from
the service and workers in war
industries can be carried thru
only thru a realization of the
situation by the entire coun
try. All contractors for war
materials who expect to lay
off workers should notify the
U. S. Employment Service at
once. All industries in need of
help should obtain the same
through the federal service.
Bureaus for returning sol
diers have been established in
every county, and employe
ot labor are urged.to co'«
erate with these agencies ^
this important work. ln
