Show ESSENTIAL WAR WORKERSWARNED A barrage of letters sent this week to persons who have left their jobs without certificates of separation marked a renewed effort ef-fort to insure compliance with the Employment Stabilization Plan, according to W. E. Peacock, manager of the Salt Lake office of the United States Employment Employ-ment Service. "Although there has been a marked decrease in the number of workers who attempt at-tempt to leave critical or essential essen-tial jobs," said Mr. Peacock, "there are still a few persistent violators who, failing to appreciate appre-ciate the importance of their work, place personal gain above the -well-being of their country. Such persons must be dealt with- -severely." Workers who qu:t important jobs to accept employment at a higher salary may be subject to a $1,000 fine and a year's imprisonment. im-prisonment. Although it has thus far been unnecessary to invoke these penalties, Mr. Peacock .pointed out, it may be necessary to do so in the near future unless un-less violators take immediate steps to return to their former jobs or to seek a release through . the United States Employment Service. |
