Registration of Workers in Defense in New Mexico
In Albuquerque on March 15 the state employment service outlined a drive to register all trained workers for defense industries. Director J C Mitchell stressed the register is not for immediate work and workers should not expect employment right away. Local officers noted many misperceptions equating registration with a wartime draft while officials aim to avoid disrupting essential local industries and to build labor reserves for future shortages.
