COURT UPHOLDs Draft LAW
Declares Law Constitutional
in Every Respect.

Washington, Jan. Every conten-
act was swept aside by the supreme
court today in an unanimous opinion
delivered by Chief Justice White, up
holding the law as constitutional.
Authority to enact the statute and to
send forces TO fight the enemy wher-
ever he may be found. the court held,
lies in the clauses Of the constitution
giving congress the power to declare
war and TO raise and support armies
AS the mind cannot conceive aH
army without men to compose IT," said
the chief justice. ION the face Of lie
constitution the objection that it docs
not give power TO provide for such men

Cover Entire Continent.

Through the utilization of existing
ana projected federal. state and mu-
nicipal employment offices and the
labor supplying facilities of the various
state councils OF defense. the employ
ment service will cover the entire con-
tjnent with a network of inter-related
labor exchanges. These will recruit
and transfer workers from one section
to another and eliminate the present
chaotic situation of a surplus of work
ers in one region and shortage in
another.
"Supplementing this labor distribu
ton work. the expanded federal service
will create vast reservoir of labor to
meet the increasing demands of the
various war industries by means of its
auxiliary bodies, the United States
public reserve and the United States
Boys Working Reserve. The crea-
tion of this labor surplus already IL
under way.
The public service reserve is ex'
pected by the department of labor ant
the heads of organized labor to solve
the labor shortage problem and t.
prove a conscription of labor to be un
necessary"
