BILL TO PUT
SLACKERS AT
WORK KISPLAN
President Has Under COnsidera.
tiOn Measure That Would
Help Labor Situation
EXEMPTION Is PRIVILEGE
Those in Deferred Classification
to Be Given to Understand
They Must Help
EXEMPTION Is PRIVILEGE

Washington, d. c.. April G.-Presi.
dent Wilson had before him today a
plan submitted by officials of the war
and labor departments designed to
use the machinery of the draft to put
industrial slackers to work.
The purpose Of the program as
agreed upon by the provost marshal
generals Office and labor department
officials is to purify" the first. sec
ond and third and fourth classes Of
registrants who are not engaged in
productive industry, but the lower
section of class one also is given at
tention.
Exemption a Privilege
Every registered man who has been
given a deferred classification would
be given to understand that his ex.
emption is not legal right but a
privilege and that if unfair advan-
tage is taken of that privilege it will
be revoked. The proposal provides
for survey Of the lower sections
of class one and other classes to
identify idlers or those getting their
living from undesirable or harmful"
pursuits.
Notification would be served on
these men that unless they found EN-.
ployment in useful industry their sta
tus would be changed and they would
be- inducted into the military service
Immediately.
. Labor Supply from Class I
The principal increase to the labor
supply is expected to be derived from
the men in lower sections of class
one, whose provision in that class
gives them deferred classification.
With the addition Of those who have
reached the age Of q since the pass
age of the selective service act, class
one will include not less than 2,2OO,0O0
men.
