Jersey Sherifs
Plan ''Loafer" War

NEWARK, n. j., March 16.--A meet
ing of the police chiefs of Essex Coun-
ty will be held Monday morning in the
City Hall for the purpose of adopting a
plan for the enforcement of the new
anti-loafers law. Sheriff John K. Fla
veil has called the meeting in order TO
discuss with the police authorities and
the Labor Department representatives
ways and means of making the laws
enforcement uniform and also to pre-
vent work shirkcrs evading it by mere
" moving from one place to another.
The present plan is to enforce the
law much the same as the conscription
law has been enforced. Registration
blanks have been furnished to the au-
thorlties of each township and a COM
plete index containing the name of
every man in the state between the
ages Of eighteen and fifty will be kept
on file.
The law, it must be understood, does
not apply to students, men temporarily
out of work because of differences with
their employers or to those .ncapaci-
tated. 1t does apply, however, to the
idle rich and the typical corner lounger.
The men put to work under the law
Will be placed at various occupations by
the State Labor Department. All will

are assigned. The minimum hours a
