Film summarizing efforts by City of Dayton, Ohio to overcome labor shortage and meet defense production goals in World War II

The City of Dayton, Ohio's local war manpower and emergency committee members are seen gathered around a table to discuss what other than just more workers is needed to meet the war production goals set for the city during World War 2. An animated diagram superimposed on a drawing of a factory, charts the labor needs vs. labor supply. For the management side, the chart cites matters that need to be addressed, including: personnel management; plant layout; reduction in turnover, and absenteeism; and better working conditions, Regarding labor itself, the chart cites the following as needed: additional women; transfers from non-essential jobs; minority groups; part-time workers; and handicapped workers. Next, the emergency committee of community leaders is seen around a table. They are being addressed by Stanley C. Allyn, President of the National Cash Register Company, who notes that Dayton has partially solved its manpower shortage and expects to meet its war production goals.Camera pans over attendees, including labor leaders from AF of L and CIO; Government officials present, including Area Director and Deputy Regional Director of the War Manpower Commission, and Chief of Program Requirements for the Region; leading industrialists and retailers are shown.
