DRAFT LAW SCOPE
MAY BE WIDENED
TO INCLUDE LABOR
Amendments Are Being Con-
sidered With a View to
/. War Work Efficiency
BY L. G. Martin

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, June 25.-Congress to.
day is looking to the war department
for suggestions on widening the scope
of the draft law.
With the amendments to the army
bill to increase the enrolment age
for the draft to 1S-45 now before con.
gress, leaders agree it would be wiser
to give Provost Marshal General Grow
der an opportunity to frame the legis-
lation he desires before starting work.
Meanwhile, the senate will discuss
the Fall and France amendments,
which, while they both fix Is to As as
the new age limits, are otherwise to-
tally disSimilar.
Tho France amendment is General
Crowder' S "work or fight order car
ried to the last degree. 1t would mean
that every male between Is and 45
would be classified for some sort of
service and would be subject to call
for the service, under military rule.
He could not strike on war work with
out facing court martial.
General Crowder thoroughly endors-
es the principle of the France amend
ment. He told the senate military com
mittee recently it would end the labor
shortage by putting all the country's
labor, skilled and unskilled instantly
at the presidents call.
The Fall amendment, on the other
hand, is military service measure
with the addition of training provis-
ion. 1t would prevent the use on the
firing line of those between 1S and
81, but would allow them to be train
cd, so that when they became 81, they
could instantly be utilized, This would
mean that each year the fighting fore
es would be increased by about 500,.
900 fully trained men, while there
would always be large number of
men in training
