z a. m. to Q p. m. Are Hours Set.
The proclamation fixes z a. m. to .
D. m. as the hours of registration, n
provides that persons who are i'll may
register by agent, persons absent from
home may register by mail, persons
without permanent residence may reg.
lister at a place designated by the local
board where they happen to be on
registration day. and persons at sea
or abroad may register within five
days after their return, or as provided
for other absentees.
While the draft law especially ex.
empts certain public officials from mil
ltary service, the only men between
is and As exempted from registration
are men in the military or naval serv-

Industrial FurIough Planned.
Industrial furloughs" are being
planned in connection with the second
draft. In a way this will serve as an
antfafrika antidota
As o proposed, representatives OF
the labor and agriculture departments
will sit with district boards to help
jump exemption claims. In some cases,
labor may be indicted into the serv-
ice. but provided 1t is essential to the
wal industries. 1t will be furloughed
and sent back to the factories.
There It can remain as long as 1t
works properly, but 1t can be seen
that the furlough can be ended and
the man sent back to the army IL he
Stacks on the job.
The prevailing rate of pay will be
given the men thus furloughed and
they will not be subject to army pay
as long as they stay at their industrial
tasks. This is held to be a fair sys.
tenn, which while 1t may be interpreted
by some as conscription of labor, still
1t gives 1t every latitude as long as
labor is loyal,
