Men in Nonessential Jobs Urged to Aid War Effort
A telegram from Nathan A. Smith, Assistant director general of the federal employment service, warns that men in nonessential industries such as candy selling, barbering, chauffering, and soft drink sales will be first drafted into war work. The message urges limiting nonessential labor, shifting work to women where possible, and prioritizing industries critical to the war effort. Community labor boards will determine which industries are prioritized, and employers should cooperate to reassign workers as needed.
