Show To Froduce A Labor Crisis? Walter Lippman, in a recent syndicated column, said that the better the prospect of an early end of the'fighting in Europe, the more urgently necessary it is to have a National Service Act for civilians. Mr. Lipmann believes that, without it, the surrender of Germany Ger-many will produce a labor crisis, disorganizing the war industry. He thinks that there will be a helter-skelter rush to be the first "to reconvert" and the first to get peace-time jobs. This is a danger that should be apparent in view of the experience ex-perience of the nation last summer sum-mer when industrial leaders clamoied for reconversion and soms laborers left high-paying war production jobs to get work in what they considered would provide peace-time employment. |
