PUBLIC SERVICE RESERVE
TO ENROLL MECHANICS
JUNEAU, Alaska, March 11—In con
nection with the enrollment of men in
the United States public service re
serve, a special postal card has been
furnished to the public service reserve
enrolling agents in Alaska. These
| cards, which are called “Huney” post
| al cards, are to be filled out and re
' turoefl to Edward N. Hurley, chair
j man, United States shipping board.
Washington, D. C., by shipbuilding
! mechancis only; that is, men who are
| skilled blacksmiths, boiler makers,
ship carpenters, dock builders, elec
trical workers, foundry workers, ma
chinists, painters, plumbers, pipe fit
| tors, sheet metal workers, copper
; smiths, ship fitters and structural iron
woiikers. The purpose of these cards
is to find out how many mechanics^
there are in the United States, who
are skilled in the lines mentioned and
Who are willing to enter the service of
the government in these classes of
work which are adjuncts to the ship
building trades. The department of
labor hopes that every man in the
country who is skilled in any ot these
lines will immediately register for
service.
I However, the government does not
I relegate enrollment simply to men!
i skilled in the lines of work mentioned,
i as it is going to be the policy of the
I government in making the enrollment
! to specialize: First, all classes of me
! chanics that can be used in the con
struction of steel and wooden ships;
second, all other classes of mechanics;
third, expert gas engines and autoruo
j bile engineers and drivers; fourth, ex
| perienced lumber men, both mills and
i woods men; fifth, all persons who are
! able and willing to serve in agricul
tural work; sixth, young men who are
j willing and can pass an examination
!as aviators; seventh, all others who de
sire to be enrolled in the service.
No man need hesitate about enroll
ing simply because he Is not skilled
in the lines for which the "Hurley”
postal cards are used, as the reserve
welcomes every patriotic citizen who
wishes to serve, whatever his <|ualifi
cations, including laborers of all kinds,
artisans, engineers, professional men.
The men especially needed, besides
;hpse skilled in trades which are ad
juncts to shipbuilding, are mechanics,
,artisans, skilled laborers of all kinds,
■ men who can work with tools.
I As its names implies, the United
States public service reserve is sat an
agency to secure immediate employ -
! ment for its members. It aims to have
! on hand a reserve of available men
t
■ who, while staying at their posts in
; the industrial life of the country, stand
i ready to go when the government no
I tifies them that they can be of greater
j service elsewhere. In cases where the
J government asks men to change ern
i ployment, it will do so only after ade
j quate consideration of the interests of
j their present employers. At the pres-.
| ent time the department of labor is
making provisions for an extension of
! the United States employment service
in yrder to place in jobs those men
i who want immediate jobs. The de
■ partijjent of labor is committed to the
| policy of supplying war industries
i first, and, so far as it can, from the
ranks of the. unemployed. When qual
] ified men out of jobs are not to lie
had, and only then, will it seek to get
i men to shift fnMn one employment to
! another.
Enrollment does not hind the per
son enrolling to accept a job from the
1 government, although it is hoped that
lie will do so if a job is offered him.
Neither does enrollment bind the gov
ernment to offer a job to the regis
; Irant. At the time a registrant is ot
1 feted a Job, he will be informed as to
the wages and other working condi
Hions, so he will then know, whether
j or not he is in position to accept.
'Registrants will be furnished with a
membership card and also with a
are received from Washington,
bronze button, as soon as the latter
Inasmuch as Alaska's quota is 1,000
men, it is hoped that every qualified
person will immediately register. Reg
istration has been somewhat delayed
by reason of the failure of supplies to
reach the enrolling agents throughout
Alaska, but now' that they have ar
rived it is thought that a large enroll
ment will be had.
There are enrolling agents in prac
tically every community, and men
should enroll w ith the enrolling agent'
of their town. Enrollment may be j
had with the following persons: A.
E. Gurr, Douglas; Homer O. Banta,

A THROUGH TICKET
VIA
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Ry.
WHY
By buying a through ticket you save from $10.00 to $15.00 as against
buying to Seattle and rebuying there.
By buying over the C. M. & St. P. Ry you are assured the comfort
that comes from riding behind an Electric locomotive—the most pow
erful in the world—and that personal attention which is a feature of
"Milwaukee” service.
For tickets, berth reservations and other particulars consult
your nearest Steamship Agent.
