"WORK OR EIGHT

There is just one fault to be found with
the new "work or fight" regulations Of the
war department.
They don't cover men of all ages who
are physically fit to labor, but are confined
to men of the draft age.
That is not the fault Of the government
and is not cause for criticism of the war
department. 1t cannot go further than
the selective service act does, and this act
provides only for limited registration.
The ''work or fight" order also does not
mean labor Consumption. 1t does not mean
that the government orders man to per-
form certain labor for a certain stated
sum. It means only that the government
says he shall not remain idle or remain in
certain non-productive work, the penalty
being immediate draft into the army
Several states have passed Ego to work
+ or go to Jail" legislation. Under very
elastic vagrancy laws, they have forced idle
men of all ages and Of all classes Of society,
to choose between productive labor and
building roads in striped suit. The laws
have applied to rich and poor alike, and
the idle millionaire meets the same treat
ment as the I. W. W.
But the war department regulations are
better solution in so far as they go, be-
cause they are more easily enforced. If
they could be extended to include men up
to SO years Of age; or even older, providing
they were physically fit, the regulations
would be even more democratic and more
Just. 1t is unfair for the government to
reach out after the young man of 20 and
overlook the equally fit man of 80. But this
can bo and doubtless will be, remedied in
time. 5 ST.
There is nothing in the regulations to
alarm the union labor men. They cannot
be construed as preventing strikes provided
the strikers engage in some other form Of
productive work Moreover the govern
nent has so conclusively proved its eager
ness to be fair with the union men, and the
