BRITISH HAVE WIPED OUT
ENTIRE TURKISH ARMY
It Is Expected To Weed Out
Eyery Man From Places
Women Can fill
. Washington, Spt. 23 Machinery
designed to force men out of non-essential
employment and muster wom
en of the nation to take their places,
was put in motion today by 1,000
community labor boards reaching into
every section of the country.
The boad are acting under detail
ed, instructions from the government,
working through Ao United States em
ployment service.
Each bt&rd soon will publish lists of
industries in its locaity ii which men
should bo rcpaccd by women. The lists
will be based on surveys on all indus
trial plans in each board's district. The
survivors will be minute. Each job
will be studied to determine whether
a woman csn fill it.
Publication of tho lists is expected to
cause employers to comply and substi
tute womena g a iwsult of moral pres
sure, thus, exerted. Where moral pressure-
fails stronger mcpsures may be
taken. Th. employment service.- work
ing through the war industries board,
has power to scut off the supply of raw
materials from any plant.
This move is a result of thc enlarged
army program, -lnder which four mil
lion men will be sent to i'rance by
next June. It is expected to weed out
of non-essential cmploynents every
man in the nation. The result will be
the probabe induction of hundreds of
thoasands of women not only into ef
sential war industries but into muni-
itons factories as well. Officials say
tho numbers of womon may run into
the million. -
The women areimperativdy needed
to iusuro an adequate supply of mater
ial and munitions to the fighting men
in France. Because of the nation-wide
labor shortage, thc munitions program
foces serious delay.
This is made plain in the instructions
to local boards ent out by the employ
ment service.
"To tho extent tha wj taH behind
in the supply of material, we shill have
to make up the deficit frorii the living
bodies of our youm men " read (Ue
instructions. ' This m not theoretical,
it is plain military calculations. As
soon as the facts are 'onUzed, Amer
icans are going to cease carrying on
business as usual ond swarm into wur
work."
The use of the term ''non-essential
employment'' in the instructions to
community boards has a special signifi
cance. Although a man is working in a
munition factory and even in 'making
shells, he still may be classified as a
'nonessential worker." Thig will occur
when the community board's surv.y
shows that a man 's job can bo filled by
a woman;
The program really means, that, the
women of the nation are to muster to
help turn out the sheila with which our
soldiers will blast their path to Berlin.
In making the surveys the boards
will ay emphasis on the job and not
on the community as a wholc
The employment service which has
a corner on all employment in the Un
ited States, will assume responsibility
for isting and filling with women the
jobs which its community boards pass
on.
Every precauticn will be taken to
guard the health of women workers.
Two women members will be added to
the personnel of each community board.
Boards arj composed of representative
of both employers and employes.
