Plan Is Reported to Register All
Men Between Eighteen and
Fifty Years Old.
MAY MEETS OPPOSITION
Measure Would Put Labor In Com.
plete Control of Military Power
and ldIers Gould Be Forced
to Work.

Washington, April 20.-A plan to-
register every man in the United
States between the ages of Is and
so, designed by the provost marshal
generals division of the war depart
ment, with a view to enlisting the
man-power of the nation in war work,
is reported to be meeting with oppo-
sition among some members of con-
gress and the administration. Wheth-
er the president has approved or dis
approved it has not been announced,
but there were indications that II
may be rejected.
Two Considerations.
The plan involved two prime con.
siderations:
Adjustment, through military chan.
nels, of the labor situation, which
now constitutes the greatest menace
and handicap to Americas war pre-
parations.
Provision for putting into the army
every ablebodied man in the country
when needed with due allowance
made for necessary industrial and ag-
ricultural workers.
Plan In Detail.
In substance the idea proposed is
To have congress enact legislation
requiring the registration of all men
between the ages of Is and so, to
have these men fill out questionnaires
as did those between 81 and 80; to
classify them as to their employment
in effective or noneffective industries
and to their conditions of dependen-
cy; then to give the war department
authority to dispose of these men as
It sees fit, putting those engaged In
noneffective industries into effective
industries or into the army.
The plan would give the war de-
partment absolute control of the labor
rituation In the United States, and
1t would also give the military au-
thorities an almost inexhaustible re-
servoir of supply for future armies.
It is not intended for the present
at least to put men between the ages
| of Is and 21 and between 81 and SO
| into the army. The scheme Is pri
marily intended to adjust the labor
| situation.
