Army Ordnance Department Growth in War Time
Before the war the United States government employed about 600000 in civil roles. Now the civilian force behind the fighting men grows by tens of thousands. The Ordnance Department shows rapid expansion with seven big Washington offices plus the War Building. The Gun Division, newly formed, employs over two thousand civilians and hundreds of officers and may triple in size within a year. Ordnance plants nationwide employ about 20000 now, up from 10000 last spring. The Civil Service Commission must meet the surge in stenographic, trades, and technical positions. Local civil service boards in all cities provide job details for those needed. Local Secretary Hawarden IA signals post office notices. Try a Register-Tribune Want Ad.
