object Of this meeting is to formulate
rules and regulations, looking toward
the taking care OF the Stacker and

Il Is understood that the Council OF
Defense for some time has had secret
service men at work on the "slacker'

a large list OF names has been turned
In by such secret service men 10 the
state Council OF Defense.
1t has been intimsted that the Coun-
ell viii not confine the meaning Of the
word Stacker 10 the ptorer classes,
but it is believed that the sport loafer
will get no more consideration than
the ordinary pool room and saloon
loafer. No Interpretation win be made
as to what is a useful occUF ton, the
only point for the council 70 consider
is whether a man in working and how
many hours in each day he is putting
in at such work. 10 Is altogether pos
sible that pool room visitors will be
considered recreation and not places
for regular employees.
The various activities OF the Council
OF Defense will be taken up in their
