The following very important rul-
ings have been received by Governor
Milliken and Provost Marshal Presson
from Provost Marshal General Crow
der.
No. 1882. The names of all register
ed men are on a list arranged in the
oroer in which they will be called for
military service. Wherever any regis
tered person imposes upon local
board and Improperly secures a GER
tncate OF exemption or discharge he
advances the time of call of all 9TH
er uncalled persons on the list. For
this reason every registered person
and, to some extent, every person in
the community is more or less direct
~ interested in seeing that the facts
are brought to the attention of the
government For every local board
person has been designated who will
receive information of such cases and
take appeals to the District Board or
inform the local board. For this rea-
son. the public is entitled to know the
grounds upon which claims for ex-
emption or discharge are being asked
by registered men. Local boards
should therefore be instructed imme-
diately to make available to the press
from day to day the names of per-
sons claiming exemption or discharges
the ground on which such claims are
based, and in general, the number Of
cases that are being disposed Of by
the boards from day to day. This in
struction does not apply, of course. to
discharges on the ground Of physical
disqualification.

The already discussed admission OF
harvest hands from Canada is about to
be placed in operation. Instructions
have been issued by the L. S. Depart
ment of Labor covering the steps to
be taken in order to secure exemption
of persons brought in, such exemption
being from the contract labor llteracy
test and head tax provisions. Farm
ers or hands now in Canada should
consider at once their plans with ref
erence to harvesting the Maine crop.
The wages to be paid hands will be the
ruling rate, with the usual accommo-
dations of board and lodging in addi-
ton thereto. The harvest will be
big one, and the additional impetus
given by the State and federal govern
ments will work both to the advantage
of the farmer and the employee.
