Enroll Men for War Work in Public Service Reserve
Washington announces a campaign to enroll citizens in the United States public service reserve to supply shipyards and war factories. Willam Edwin Wall says the goal is to mobilize unskilled and semi skilled workers, keep ships and equipment flowing, and minimize disruption to peace industries while meeting war demands. Enrollees stay at current jobs and may transfer to war work when opportunities arise.
