Georgia labor plan urged to fight war shortages
H G Hastings of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce urges a statewide plan to mobilize idle white and black workers for full time labor. The Savannah method requires able bodied men to carry daily employment cards and be employed or face penalties, with local chambers or boards to implement fairness and include black representatives where possible. The plan aims to curb loafing, support war production, and may spread to rural districts as shortages grow.
