Perkins Sees No Labor Shortage
Skilled workers are available in quantities for the arms program, Secretary of Labor Perkins says.
"I cannot think of any process in the whole defense program for which there are no men available," she said.
When unemployed men are needed for the arms program, arrangements will be made to transport those who wish to take the jobs.
Miss Perkins added that there is no need of altering the Walsh-Healey act or wage-hour law on account of the arms program. These laws are not rigid, she said, and require only the payment of overtime at time and a half.
