The engineering societies to assist the joint employment service of federal, state, and civic bodies

During the war the Four National Societies of Civil, Mining, Mechanical and Electrical Engineers, under the auspices of the American Engineering Service Committee of Engineering Council rendered valuable aid to the Government, placing many technical men in the Army, Navy and industries of the country at a time when they were greatly needed. With the signing of the armistice the need for Government service naturally ended, but the greater problem of returning to civil employment the discharged soldier and sailor at once presented itself, and is daily becoming graver and more urgent. To meet this situation the Engineering Societies Employment Bureau of Engineering Council was organized with the Secretaries of the Societies of Civil, Mechanical, Mining and Electrical Engineers as Directors.
