BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. f7.-Conscription
Of skilled labor for war work may be-
come a fact under the new draft regu-
lations issued today.
"When the national interest is better
served by inducing such men into
military service than by leaving them
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" says the regula-
tions.
Use Of such labor in the military ser
vice would take any form national
necessity requires but principally In
munltion factories, chemical laDora-
tories and mostly in skilled work at the
front or behind the lines.
The conscription Of expert labor
however, will not be resorted to, 1t was
indicated by the provost marshal gen
erals office today unless the required
men cannot be found in the regularly
drafted man.
The method Of conscripting skilled
labor and protection afforded them az
ter such a call is decided upon is fully
detailed in The following extract from
the new regulations issued today:
when there is need for the service:
OF men expert or highly skilled in an
special class Of work. the adjutant gen
eral Of the army shall make requisitioI
on the provost marshal general for tn
number and class OF men needed.
"Thereupon the provost marshal gen
eral shall call upon the Governors o
ole or more Of the several states fo
such number OF the total required a
will distribute the burden equal
among the states.
"Thereupon the adiutant gener'
shall call upon one or more locs
boards TO examine the questionaires {
the registronts with the qualification
required, including only tho'
placed IN a deferred classification on III
sole ground Of engagement In industr
or agriculture.
"The adiutant general shall eXamir
the lists and memoranda and shall OF

gree.
The administration Is not prepared
TO announce the exact amount Of coal

ceived here. Whether there have been
any complaints from manufacturers
because OF their inability to get fuel
has not been learned since the admin

The administration has repeatedly
referred TO the exercise OF economy on

been informed as 20 how much coo
