With the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, a strengthened
Department of Labor played a vital role in mobilizing

5. manpower for defense production. Acting under President Harry
S. Truman orders making the Secretary of Labor responsible for
the wartime labor supply, Maurice J. Tobin created a Defense
Manpower Administration to supervise and coordinate
manpower activities of the Department. The Department's
responsibilities ran the gamut of labor problems, from assuring
an adequate supply of workers and seeing that skill levels were
adequate, to promoting safety and health standards and
minimizing losses due to work stoppages. The defense
manpower problem faded away when hostilities in Korea
ceased, but by the end of the Truman Administration in 1953 the
program had dealt with important concerns such as the need for
greater educational and skill levels, and the need for better use
of the capacities of women, older workers and minorities. These
concerns endured and grew and eventually demanded answers
from the Federal government.
