The plan is not designed to inter-

These may be affected to some slight
degree, but officials say such injury
would be offset many times over by the

President Wilson had before him to-

the War and Labor departments de-
signed to use 1.-The machinery of the

work Although the Presidents atti-
tude toward the proposal, which would
affect, In one way or another. the
status of every one of the millions of
registered men, has not been indicated,
and officials appeared confident that he
will regard it favorably.
The main purpose OF the new pro-
gram. as agreed upon by the provost
marshal generals Office and Labor De-
partment officials, Is to purify the
first, second. third and fourth classes
of registrants who are not engaged IN
a productive industry.
Framers Of the plan see In its work
ing solution of the nations labor
problem and a large increase OF the
production of the necessities of life.
Every registered man who has been
given a deferred classification would be
given to understand that his exemption
is not a legal right, but q privilege. and
that II unfair advantage Is taken OF
that privilege 1t will be revoked.
Survey Of Lower Sections.
The proposal provides for survey
OF the lower sections of class one and
other classes to identify idiers or those
getting their living from undesirable
or harmful pursuits. Gambling Is
suggested under the latter head. Notih-
cation would be served on those men
| that unless they found employment In
useful industry their status would be
changed and they would be inducted
into the military service immediately.
The principal increase to the labor
supply is expected to be derived from
| men in the lower section OF class one
whose position in that class gives them
practically deferred classification. with
