Knox Favors Labor Draft To Speed War
Secretary of Navy Frank Knox urged Congress to enact a national service law to stabilize wartime production after the first phase of the war. He argued a labor draft is needed to prevent a slump, citing heavy turnover and the demand for more workers as battles widen. He defended the plan against claims of involuntary servitude and urged workers to fill essential positions. He cited 1943 navy yard turnover and a net shortage of 13,000 workers as evidence of the problem.
