McNutt Proposes Vacations to Cut War Worker Absenteeism
Washington March 15. War Manpower Commissioner Paul V McNutt backed industrial furloughs for war workers at intervals to reduce absenteeism. Employers decide pay for vacations, but pay is needed to make the incentive real. He cited a rise from 10 to 40 percent in workers moving from nonessential to essential war tasks since last summer and noted 70,000 civil servants shifted to war duties. He warned manpower demands may level off only as experience grows, but the war will sustain labor needs.
