ORGANIZED LABOR } DEMANDS VOICE
 IN DRAFT PLAN
Wants Representation on Every Board Having Part
 in Administering Law.

Washington, May 19.-Organized labor will demand in connection with the conscription act, that representa- tives of the wage-earners must be placed on every board-national, state and local-which has to do with the administration of the law, according to a statement today by Samuel Com pers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor.
 This demand, MT. Gompers said, IS in accordance with the method found necessary in Great Britain. and IS founded upon justice and democracy. "The wage earners will be vitally af- fccted, and should have representa- tion," he declared.
 Mr. Gompers also urged exemption from conscription for workers neces- sary for munitions manufacture and for the production of articles to main tain the civilian population. He points to Great Britain's mistake in taking into the fighting forces thousands or skilled workers, who afterwards had to be returned to England.
