"The amendment seems to be en-
tirely consistent with the policy the
War Department is enforcing and is
unobjectionable," he said. "And am
less disturbed because the attitude of
labor as whole is 30 fair and whole

Mr.. Baker said, necessitates the bills

When committee members complained
that too many men are being taken off
farms, the Secretary said it is not in
tended to draft more farmers under the
new law and that the present policy
will continue. General Crowder pointed
out that local boards are responsible
tor selecting men from farms.
The law permitting men to be fur
loughed home for harvesting crops has
not been used to any great extent,
MIR. Baker said. and has not been found
very necessary.
Secretary Morrison Of the American
Federation Of Labor interrupted to op-
pose the "work or fight amendment"
of the Senate bill.
There is no question about labor
going along with this government" !"
MIR. Morrison said. Labor is doing ita
level best, but this amendment is moth =
ing less than conscription of labor"
Would Control Employees
Secretary Baker said the draft law
should not be used by private corpo-
rations to control their employees The
Thomas Amendment, he said, is mere
1y declaration of the present depart
ment policy.
II do not agree with Mr. Morrison
that the amendment is conscription Of
labor" Mr.. Baker added at is not,
unless it is used that way"
The Secretary was followed by Gen
eral March, who said all of the belliger-
ent nations have age limits of fifty
or over and minimums Of eighteen or
less. Some German captves, he said,
have been found to be as young as SIX
teen. Representative Kahn, of Cali
fornia, interrupted to say both the
British and French minimum age lin
its are eighteen years.
With General Crowder the commit
tee discussed the estimates of men he
expects to get from the enlarged regis
tration Of the bill
Some committee members expressed
surprise that only about 100000 fight
ing men are expected from registrants
between thirty-two and forty-six. The
provost marshal explained that the ma
tons industrial requirements we're
considered in his estimates He said:
"Our main dependence is upon the
men of lower age limits"
BY having the bill passed quickly,
General March told the committee, the
new men could be called in time to get
more training than the six months
minimum.
"By calling these men then" said
