PAGE 12 THE SEATTLE STAR—FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1918. Don’t Go to the Job That “Isn’t There” a today’s eager rush for men there is a tendency on the part of employers to call for workers before the jobs are ready. This has resulted in loss of time and money to workmen, and has crippled important war industries. In occasional instances workers have been drawn from all over the country, and then because the employers had been premature in their recruiting, they had to tell the men —“We may need you next month.” To do away with this unnecessary shifting of men, the Government has organized the U. S. Employment Service as a part of the Department of Labor. It has 500 branch offices and 20,000 U. S. Public Service en- rollment Agents covering the United States. It has definite knowledge of all manufactur- ing conditions and labor requirements the country over. Workmen may depend upon this govern- ment employment service, because it sends men only to jobs that are ready. It helps a man get the right job to be of greatest help to his country in helping to win the war. The Government urges every man now em- ployed in useful work to stick to his job. Shifting about is costly to all. But if a man is out of work, or if he feels that a change in employment i is necessary, he is urged to consult the U. S. Employment Service. This advertisement prepared for use of the Department of Labor President’s Statement “Industry plays as essential and honorable a role in this great strug- gle as do our military armaments. 4 *~ * * “Therefore, I solemnly urge all employers engaged in war work to refrain, after August Ist, 1918, from recruiting unskilled labor in any manner except through this central agency. (U.S. Employment Serv- ice.) “T urge labor to respond as loyally as heretofore to any calls issued by this agency for voluntary enlistment in essential industry. And I ask them both alike to remember that no sacrifice will have been in vain, if we are able to prove beyond all question that the highest and best form of ef- ficiency is spontaneous co-operation of a freg people.” WOODROW WILSON. To win the war the Government must have maximum production in all war industries to support our army in France. Every work- er wants to do all he can to help. Therefore the use of the U.S. Employment Service, when seeking employment, is a patriotic service and duty. Always make use of near- est office or agent. by the Division of Advertising of the Committee on Public Information.
