"FOUR CORNERS " LORE Our expression "the four cor ners of the earth" is a throwback to days when some races be lieved the earth and universe to be shaped like a pyramid. on Manpower Q. What does priority referral mean and how will it work? A. Employers and unions agree that no worker will be hired Into a job unless ho has been referred to the employer by the WMU's. U. S. employ ment service (USES). The USES will refer work ap plicants to a job in the order of the relative Importance of those Jobs to the war. Thus some plants or industries will get first priority on man power in mi area, denondlng upon how Important their pro duction is to the war. In one urea tin ulrnluue plant might luivo top priority, in an other it might be a streot car company badly In , n e e d of motormcn. Q. Does this mean a Job-seek-cr will bo allowed no choice but must take the first job sug gested by the USES and does it mean an employer must accent every worker sent him by U5E5T A. No. Within reasonable limits the USES will try to give workers and employers freedom of choice, but always trying to steer workers into jobs most needing them. Q. Aro there any exceptions to the plan? A. The only time a worker may bo referred to a job that is not essential Is when: he is not needed for an essential job in his area; ho is not able to accept essential work outside the area; or, there , is under norasuip, special emergency cir cumstances or other good causa which prevents his acceptance of an essential job. Q. Any other exceptions? A. WMC's regional directors there are 12 are empowered to make these exceptions If they see fit: in establishments em ploying fewer than eight people: for outlying communities where the results obtained from the program would not justify the trouble of operating It, and, other special cases recommend ed by the management -labor committees. - Q. Any penalties for non-compliance? A. Tho government could cancel the contract of a non-complying employer: job seeker, stubbornly determined on a Job to which USES refused to refer him, might have an ex tremoly tough tlmo finding any work if all employers in the area comply with the plan. Q. Any other control on em ployers? A. In 184 designated areas, seriously short of labor, an employer may bo told ho will have to reduce tho number of his employes. He won't novo to fire any. But as his present employes quit no new oncs'wlll be sent him until his total Is down to the number required by USES. . Q.I In trying, to got worker to move from one city to an other, who'd pay his expenses? A. This seems to need clarifica tion but tho answer apparently is cither the worker or the em ployer. fLL1 " " Ji3 f . im mimumm mm mm j tma0 Centlnooui ftaow let, . Hen.
