It is significant in the handling of
prisoners, Captain Cross said that
whei cas-, for the past two years a
guard had been taking a dozen or
fifteen men out 20 WORK on rOaus aud
farms practically every day. there has
been only one escape. This guard Is

There are many thousands Of

essential business going, but they
are taking a heavy load off the
over-burdened railroads.
And Of the $4,000 Packard
passenger cars in use-many are
devoted to war work, most of them
to essential transportation.
These wheels must be kept turn

Packard owners, whose confidence

the Packard Company; but because
the Nation cannot afford to have its

IF the $4,000 Packard passenger

in the columns of your paper. ]

judgment as to the proper method
of procedure. l should be glad in

COMPULSORY WORK LAW
NOW IN EFFECT

Christopher L. Ward, director of
the Compulsory Work Bureau of
the State Council of Defence,
opened an office today on the
ground floor of the old Federal
Building, Sixth and King Streets.
Mr.. Ward has appointed Miss
Elizabeth Steward, daughter of
Caleb M. Steward, secretary of the
bureau and is considering applica-
tions for appointment to the posi-
ton of district inspector, of which
officials there will be one for Will
mington, one for rural New Cas-
tie county and one each for Kent
and Sussex counties.
One of the first duties of the
bureau will be to put to work be-
tween 100 and 200 idlers whose
names already have been obtained.
BARRIERS, bartenders and men en-
gagged in other lawful occupations
need not give up those positions
and seek employment in shipyards
or ,munition plants through fear of
State interference. Mr.. Ward says
such men are exempt from the pro-
visions of the State Council of De-
fence act, which clearly sets forth
that ait shall be the duty of every
male resident of the State between
the ages of Is and 55 years, who
shall not be in the National Army
or a public officer, to be employed
in a useful or lawful occupation.
The provisions of the Federal law
however, are more drastic, but they
apply only to men of draft age
misunderstanding seems to hav'
been due to the publication of Ger
tain classes of occupation which
the Federal government designat
ed as non-essential. Federal o
State laws do not require any man
except in the draft age, to give VI
any lawful occupation.

vides:
