Miss Mary Anderson, director of the women's bureau, who herself had 18 years as a machine oper- wor before she came to her pres-| ent job, calls this lack of trained women “the Achilles heel of the| labor supply.” Although there is nothing offi- cial on it, it doesn't take half an eye to see that there are compara- tively few women in the war ma- terials industry at present— just about enough to give the women's bureau basis for argument that it could be developed on a grand| scale, The male workers have been against it; the industrial managers/ have been against it. But Miss An- derson declares that an almost overnight change has taken place in the attitude of managementand attributes it to four things: (1) the backlog of unemployed men is! rapidly shrinking; (2) the draft is| taking considerable toll from tlu-,: labor force; (3) industrial expan- sion is still on a steep upgrade, with the peak far ahead; (4) the “unlimited emergency” has widened | our defense horizons. She points to Massachusetts, Con- necticut and Maryland, and n scattered sections, New York, New Jersey and California, as states which already are beginning to swing into programs for training women for production of aircraft, guns, powder, tanks, machine tools and other war materials. There is a very small amount of within-industry (apprenticeship) training of women so far.
