National service plan stirs bitter split in Congress
The Roosevelt administration pushes national service legislation amid strong opposition from AFL chief Willam Green and lawmakers across parties. Senator Austin and Rep Wadsworth revise their bills to permit voluntary recruitment first, with a labor draft only if necessary, and a War Manpower Commission would oversee duties and appeals. The issue splits committees, with May to convene hearings next week and key figures debating the bill’s democratic implications and wartime labor impact.

Stampede of Women to Jobs Seen
Washington dispatch reports a predicted rush of women into jobs as a safeguard against arbitrary labor, spurred by Roosevelt's national service request. Officials warn rapid shifts could disrupt current recruitment for war work, raising concerns about housing, wages, and discrimination safeguards. The trend follows a sharp drop in estimated female wartime labor demand from 2,000,000 to 400,000. About 21,000,000 women without children under 16 could enter the workforce, with 6,000,000 over age 45.

Labor draft law could affect millions but few forced shifts
Washington January 12 The Roosevelt labor draft proposal would touch millions by preventing strikes but would likely prompt only a small number of forced job shifts. The plan aims to curb strikes while warning that everyone not disqualified could be ordered to move for work. War plant shutdowns and reconversion add pressure as manpower needs remain unclear. Political reaction is mixed with questions about passage timing.
