LABOR CONSCRlUTlON Is
PROVIDED FOB IN LATEST
"DRAFT REGULATIONS

Washington, Nov. 29.-conscription
of labor is provided for in the reoula-
tions just published for raising the
second draft army. Anybody who can
build ships or do any other kind Of
mechanical labor needed for waging
the war, if of draft age and registered,
is to be called out of regular order
and set to work under military super
vision and discipline.
Section 149 Or the selective service
regulations makes provision for this
action 1t is entitled "Induction into
military service OF technical and other
experts and Of registrants highly
skilled in some special line of work. ="
"This means shipbuilders, carpen-
ters, or any such artisans" explained
Major Gullion, of the provost marshal
generals Office.
Every local board will have full
report on every man registered. An
swers made to the quesionnaire will
be made the basis of selecting men
needed for any line of work-carpen-
ters, riveters, blacksmiths, joiners'
electricians, mechanics etc. The reg
ulations provide that
when there is need for the SER
vices of men expert highly skilled
in any special class of work, the ao-
iutant general Of the army shall make
reQuisAion on the provost marshal
general for the number OF class OF
men needed. Thompson the provost
marshal general shall call upon the
governors Of one or more OF the sev-
spaI States for such number Of the to-
tai required as will distribute the bur
den equally among the States as tar
as practicable Thereupon the adju-
tant general Of the State shall call
upon one or more local boards to ex-
anime the QUESTIONABLE Of regis
tsants within their jurisdiction, and
prepare list Of registrants with the
qualifications required, who stand in
any of the just form classes"
The boards are required also to get
from each man of this class a specific
statement as to whether or not he
consents to be inducted into this kind
of military service.
In the subsequent orders, those who
consent are to be taken first, and the
nen+consenting in order Of their
class and draft number. A special or
der of the secretary Of war is required
to set this process in motion.
The regulations finally provide that
workmen so inlucted into military
service shall be mobilized in the US
ual manner, and shall be sent to such
place as may be specially directed by
the provost marshal general.
CAS- to where and how the men are
to be used We have nothing to do"
said Colonel Gullion. These are the
provisions which will mobilize an in
dustrial army. The men will become
soldiers just like other soldiers, but
instead of drilling with guns they
will get busy with hammer and saw
and plane I presume that men for
building ships will be secured this
way. That is up to the secretary Of
war.
