Labor Drive Recruits For War Industries In State
In the second Great registration era planned for September 12, James M. Dedman of the local U S employment office predicts a broad call for labor to support essential war industries. He aims to release nonessential workers to keep plants operating at full capacity, noting railroads and farms are exempted when needed. The drive seeks numbers of common laborers and how many can be released, with Tennessee reporting a shortage of 6000 and the Fourth Zone 2000.
