lar officers assigned to desk Jobs"
who since the entrance Of the United

Regular army officers to-day assert

Gently mastered the art of saluting

To correct this inequality in rank
the War Department to-day announced

100000 Draftees
Voluntarily En- ter
Useful Occupations
lcprriri Diannfrh In Thc Tribupr) J

Especial Diapdtch fo Ihr Tribnr')
WASHINGTON, Sept. l9.-Thc work
or fight regulations have caused
100000 rcgistrants to change from non
productive TO productive occupations,
the Provost Marshal General an
nounced to-day.
Information gathered from four
sources-local draft boards the United
States Employment Service, the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation and retail
merchants associations throughout the
country--show that many registrants,
realizing they were producers, vol
UNFAIRLY changed to useful occupations.
Reports from local boards in forty
four states, as of August 25, showed
that 52,S2G registrants bad been noti-
fled up to that time to appear before
the boards on account of idleness or
n-productivc occupation. OF this
number 23,S25 subsequently notified
their boards of a change to productive
occupations, 1868 were certified to
district boards for decision, and the
cases Of 1888 were still pending be-
fore the local boards
OF the 10,643 certified to district
boards for decision. 2,695 were found
ployed, and therefore had their order
numbers or deferred classification
withdrawn. Those who were not thus
withdrawn by the district boards num-
bered 5608; and the cases Of 2,34U
were still pending on August 25
1t is estimated that for every one Of
the 23 1928 men who notified the local
boards Of a change to productive oc-
cupation, three or four men moved
from non productive TO productive oc-
cupations without awaiting action by
their local boards, following the pro-
mulgation of the work or fight" regu-
latlons. This estimate is strongly
supported by information supplied by
the United States employment service,
showing that II eight cities-New York,
New Orleans, San Francisco and st.
Louis up to August |. DO, 900 men had
sought productive employment as a re-
suit of the "work or fight" regulations.
and that So per cent Of the applicants
had been provided with productive en-
ployment.
Reports from the various plants op-
Grating under the Emergency Fleet
Corporation show that with regard to
a ma jority OF them the "work or fight"
regulations have resulted in an aver
age increase of at least 20 per cent in
spplications for employment.
information furnished by 154 retail
stores in large cities of the country as
Of August |. show that about 900 men
had left their employ to engage in pro
ductive occupations.
Ten hotels IN Washington, D. c., as
Of August |, reported that l76 men
employed by them had left to engage

Conboy Tells New
Draft Men Holv to
Fill Questionraires

Martin Conboy, Director of the Draft
for New York City, in notice issued
yesterday. advised the new draft regis
trants between the ages of nineteen
and thlrtysiX, inclusive. on receiving
and filing their Questionnaires
He emphasized the fact that the reg
istrant is not removed from liability
because he does not receive his oues-
tlonnaire. This means that all regis
trants affected who do not receive their
missionaries within reasonable
length OF time must inquire at their
local boards. Mr. Conboys advice fol-
lows:
Read the QUESTIONABLE carefully so
that you will be prepared to answer
the questions.
Fill it out before the Legal Ad-
visory Board, which will assist you
and take your affidavit.
BE sure to make, on the first page
of the questionnalre, all claims you
desire to have considered.
PAY no fees to anybody; the Legal
Advisory Board makes no charge and
will protect your rights better than
anyone else can.
"File the questionable at once. Do
not wait the full seven days which are
allowed
The order from Marshal General
Crowder placing ban on designations
of members of local boards, was not
prompted by any wholesale resigna-
tlons Of officials in this city, according
to Mr.. Conboy.
Several of the local boards in this
oity have reported the exhaustion of
Class A from all previous drafts. so
men Of The new draft will be used to
fill the October calls.
Brigadier General W. A. White. com
