TIE SLACkE CLASS.

~ great many people are of the
opinion that if Congress has not. if
should have the authority to con-
script labor. Congress has the right
to conscript my boy" they argue,
and put him in the army; why should
not labor be conscriptcd to help feed
and clothc him ?" There is IA show of
reason in this view. There are n
great number of men who are not
helping win this war by either labor
or money. They wont even buy a
25-cent Thrift Stamp. There ought
to be some way to get at this Stacker
