a r V L JOBS PREFER TO OWI Sees Tendency to Get Off Alarm-Clock Sched ule; 18,590,000 Held Jobs Washington (U.R) Women war workers are showing signs of wanting to go home and have babies, the Office o War Infor mation said in a recent report. In fact, such ''family rea sons," along with other factors, is causing women in "consider able" numbers to "fade" from the employment market once they have lost their jobs. If women will not stay on the alarm-clock schedules as the male labor force dwindles, the OWI warned in a report based on information from the War Manpower Commission and oth er government agencies, "the total labor force may fall below the minimum needed to main tain the war economy." Pay Is Not Equal In every case reported to date of group layoffs, the OWT said, "a considerable portion of the women separated from their jobs did not seek other employ ment but simply faded from the labor market." Here are some reasons why they aon't look for other jobs: (1) Pay of other available jobs is not the same; offers no "incentive" to keep working. (2) Special training for one job does not fit her for another type of job. (3) The woman who took a wqr Job for patriot reasons and later was laid off feels she has "done her share," or develops "war Job fatigue." (4) Previous work experience has not been satisfactory. (5) She wants to visit her "in uniform husband, have a baby or spend more time with her children. 18,590,000 on Rolls Despite this reticence of wom en to take another job, the OWI report showed that last July the total number of working Wom en was at an all-time high of 18,590,000. This compares with 18,080,000 in July, 1943, and 11,000,000 before the war. Greatly disturbed by this new attitude of women toward jobs, the WMC has found "one note of reassurance," the OWI said.

In other words, the "unobtru sive" withdrawal of women from the labor mart tends to counter-balance the "natural tendency" of employers to give jobs to men with greater work experience.
