ice, men registered and awaiting call.
men enrolled in army, navy or marine
corps reserves and diplomatic and con.
sular officials of foreign governments
resident in but not citizens of the
United States. -.
Industrial Furlough Planned. -
industrial furloughs" are being
planned in connection with the second
draft. In a way this will serve as an
antistrike antidote. -. =
AS now 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
war industries it will be furloughed
and sent back to the factories.
There 1t can remain as long as 1t
works properly, but it can be seen
that the furlough can be ended and
the man sent back to the army II he
Stacks on the job. -,g4... +.
The prevailing rate Of pay will b.
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 fair sys.
tenn, which while it may be interpreted
by some as CONSUMPTION of labor, still
it gives it every latitude as long az
labor is loyal. 1st T.. =: :: =:
