your decision. At least, the ques-
tion should be discussed and pub
lie explanation be given so that we
may gain all the support and CO.
operation possible. Representa-
tives of agriculture have felt so
keenly their problems, they have
appeared before the President. He
naturally in view or your powers
of investigation, upholds your ac-
tions. There is no disposition OF
farmers stacking. They are doing
their bit, a vital work too, with the
same spirit of loyalty as those IN
other trades and occupations.
I have asked a representative OF
that interest to appear here today
with you and bespeak for him your
attention. Also while these ques-
tions are entirely within the juris-
diction of the District Board, |
shall like to ask the aid and advice
of the Locals and Attorneys. They
are oftimes in close touch with the
cases at hand and can render help
full advice. In view of the Regula-
tions, l am going to ask that the
District Board review all occupa-
tional cases that have come before
the Board. l am asking this that
you may be doubly sure that no
errors be made and that Delaware
men serve best where they can
serve most.
Any question in the minds of
any of the Boards should be
brought out for full discussion

same IN my nanQS Tor aQVlce. L HIS, |
in view of instructions that cases
are t ODE re-opened only when ap-
pealed, is a matter for your con-
sideration and decision. To my
mind here, upon Attorney for the
Government rests the responsible
ity. May l suggest, however, that
you discuss this and reach some
definite agreement as to procedure.
The Locals have the responsible
ity of the Department Relates,
with the Attorneys as a double
check, the same as the District
have the full authority in occupa-
tional exemption. My suggestion
would be an agreement between
all the Boards and Attorneys re-
cognizing of course the peculiar
responsibility of the Attorneys in
this particular instance.
2nd.-Physical Exemption.
This is merely a matter of de-
Gliding definite policy for all the
State. The confusion here is only
caused by the later rulings. To
simply unity the practices of the
Boards is all that is required here,
but such action is absolutely es-
sential.
3rd.-Occupational Exemptions.
This phase of the work is especi-
ally serious and perhaps most diff
fcult of solution. Of these oc-
cupations, that of agriculture de-
mands your attention. The Gov
ernment is asking for increased
crops and acreage and at the same
time drafting men. To interpret
the regulations and define your
duties here will require very care
full attention and is worthy of youl
most serious thought. You will
recall last spring in our drive fol
increased acreage, we found tht
problem of labor. The question
now is even more serious. Report:

rather than more, which to m!
mind, demands your consideration
of the regulations as found on pag
67, where it says at shall be tn
duty of each District Board to as
certain by it's own methods the ex
isting conditions in industrie
that may be claimed to be neces
= sary." Further 'to ascertain a

available for such necessary in
: dustries." You will note that yo
, have power "to mobilize and t
make such labor more efficient.
This can be done by "conditiona
or temporary discharge as tn
case may require"
