Mississippi Urges Statewide War Labor Campaign
Mississippi urges 50 men from every county be released from non essential work within thirty days to join war industries. Women will fill vacancies, with federal guidance stressing patriotic duty and no wage loss. Local boards, loyalty leagues, and defense councils push rapid, voluntary compliance and civilian sacrifice to meet a 4 000 man shortfall in skilled labor. Mississippi citizens are asked to volunteer and cooperate with U S Employment Service officials in Meridian.
