WMC Curbs Expansion in Idaho Labor Rules
The War Manpower Commission curbs expansion by limiting Idaho male hiring after July 1 to the number employed on November 1 in any nonagricultural, non governmental firm. The rule, approved by Idaho's management labor committee, applies statewide regardless of firm size and requires referral by WMC or USES for hire. Workers 24 hours or less, World War II veterans temporarily, and approved apprentices are exempt.
