WASHINGTON. Jan. 8. It waa learned today at tba Department of Labor that the International Trades Unions have decided to glva complete co-operation with tba movement to en roll the Industrial forces of the Nation In the United States public service rVserva. All trades onion menl In the North west are now receiving a call from the reserve to place their skill at the serv ice of the country If they have not already entered upon some Sorm of war work. Twenty thousand artisans are wanted for the Puget Sound shipyards and a minimum of 125.000 more for yards In other sections of the country. Enroll ment in the United States public serv ice reserve doea not bind any man. but glvea the Government a complete record obtained to fill an Important lob If he Is satisfied with the wages and conditions. "We appreciate highly the way the labor unions have caught the Bplrit of the United States public service reserve." said William E. HalL National director, today. "Everywhere they are supporting the movement to enroll the Industrial power of the Nation in the reserve, where it may be drawn upon as needed by the National war pro gramme. The fact that only voluntary service is Intended, with good wages, has appealed broadly to the American worklngman. "The situation requires co-operation." continued Mr. HalL "Neither organized labor nor unorganized labor, nor any thing short of harmonious action by thj Nation as a whole, can meet the need. Patriotism Is confined to no class. The Nation must have the com plete working support of both the union and the nonunion man to be able to successfully fill the tremendous de mands of this war. "The supreme Immediate need Is for men who can fit into shipwork, where the opportunity for patriotic service at good pay Is Immeasurable." Local enrollment agents have been appointed in most of. the districts of the Northwestern states and others are being selected as fast as the organiz ing machinery of the public service reserve and the Department of Labor of his abilities, so that he caa be can handle th matter, An intensive campaign for enrollments will be con ducted during the current month.
