Washington, Nov. 17.-Conscription
of skilled labor for war work may be-

When the national interest is better
served by inducting such men into

engaged in industry or agriculture
neither deferred classification nor the
order numbers assigned by lot, can
be permitted to defer the call of such
men into military SERVICE" say the
| regulations.
Use of such labor in the military
service would take any form national

| tories and in skilled work at the front
or behind the lines.
ONLY AS LAST RESORT.
The conscription of expert labor.

was indicated by the provost mersha,

| quired men cannot be found among the

The method of conscripting labor
| and the protection afforded even after
such call is decided upon, it fully
detailed in the following extract from
the new regulations issued today:
when there is need for the services
of men expert or highly skilled in any
special class of work, the adjutant
| general of the army shall make re-
QUESTION on the provost marshal gen.
eral for the number and class of men

TO DISTRIBUTE BURDEN.
"Thereupon, the provost marshal
general shall call upon the governor
of one or more of the several states
for such number of total required that
will distribute the burden equally
among the states.
"Thereupon the adjutant general
shall call upon one or more local
bards to examine the questionnaires OF
the registrants with the qualifications
| required, including only those placed in
a deferred classification on the sole
ground of engagement in industry or
| agriculture
THE adjutant general shall exam
inc the lists and memoranda and shall
order the immediate physical examina-
ton and induction into military SER
vice of such men as will best meet the
requirements specified.
FIRST THOSE WHO CONSENT.
Among registrants whose qualifi-
cations are equal those who consent
shall be selected first and those who
do not consent shall be selected in the
order determined by their class and
order number"
Men exempted on other grounds
than industry or agriculture however,
for example dependency--cannot be
conscripted in this manner except up.
on special order of the secretary of
war.
