Labor conscription planned nationwide effort in Des Moines
Des Moines reports that labor will be organized immediately to support government conscription. Ralph Faxon says states will classify workers, with federal intervention if voluntary action fails. Community war labor boards will determine calls and eligibility, excluding professionals, and Iowa may supply skilled workers for eastern shipbuilding needs while existing war contracts remain undisturbed. A state organizing committee was formed with A. L. Urick and Ralph Faxon.
