the enforcement Of Delaware's anti
loaflng law began The headquarteri
Of the bureau are located at the ole
Federal building, Sixth and King streets
which has been taken over Dy th'
United States Employment Service.
The law provides that every man IN
the Stale between the ages Of Is and ..

Act are punishable by a fine OF mol
more than $500, three months impris-

Ing the state Council of Defense that
body Is authorized 10 round up all per
sons who will neither work nor fight
The law does not differentiate between
essential and non-essential occupations,
Il merely provides that all men must
do some lawful work during the dura-
tion Of the war and for six months after
the close Of hositilities.
Many residents Of Wilmington past
the draft age, engaged in callings
which are declared to be non-essentials
under the regulations promulgated ny
Provost Marshal Crowder have made
inquiries regarding their status under
the law Christopher L. Ward, director
Of the Compulsory Work Bureau, has

Council Of Defense Act does not compel
walters, BARRIERS. theatre attendants,
baitenders, clerks and other workers
engaged in trades declared by Provost
Marshal Crowder as nOn-essentials TO
leave their positions. Miss Elizabeth
Steward is secretary.
A large number Of similar inquiries
have been received by John c. Saylor'
district superintendent United States
Employment Service. Mr.. SaylOr, who
IS in charge Of Zone No. q. Of the Fed
eral Department Of Labor, which en-
braces Pennsylvania and Delaware, in
terprets the Act the same as Mr.. Ward.
The Compulsory Work Bureau has
secured the services Of a corps OF IN
vestigators whose duty it Is TO visit all
sections Of the State and discover vio-
istions. Mr.. Ward has also appealed to
ihe citizens OF Delaware TO aid In the
enforcement Of the law by reporting all
Violators to the bureau.
Although the Act was in effect i'm
mediately after its passage" Mr.. Ward
said. 1--WE have just opened our offices

II he fails TO heed our warning, or OBJ

Under the law a violation of the Act

number OF complaints"
"IIow many?" Mr.. Ward was asked.
Approximately between one and two
hundred" he replied. "All these will

Is one thing however, which should be
borne In mind and that Is that the law
