Public Opinion
10 CATCH sLACKERs

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
The catching of eighteen slackers
In the city of Perth Amboy. al re-
ported In the NEWS Saturday, gives
food for thought, and it appears to
me that the state of New York has q
far better method governing this sub
.jcet In that state last year an In
dustrial census was taken by a house.
toulouse canvass, registering all
males and females between the ages
of sixteen and fifty years, or there
'abouts. BY this means not only a
correct tab was kept by the authori-
ties on those living in the Empire
State as regards nationality and age,
but also 1t was required to show by
the questions to be answered as to
what occupation he or h was most
useful in, SO that when the time came
to make use of some of these people
in some industrial occupation or other
those most proficient in those trades
could be selected by the authorities.
When the questionnaires were hrst
issued 1t was an easy matter to find
out IL all those required to do so a
complied with the Law. So 1t was
with the registration Of alien enemy
females. A comparison of those list
ed as having been born in Germany
or Austria with the list Of entries In
connection with the alien enemy reg
istration would soon show the dis
crepancy, IL such existed. and would
cause the police authorities to a
them up and compel them to obey
the law of the land.
When one considers the eighteen
names of the slackers as published
Saturday, one can easily see whence
these people originated. Laws are
made to be enforced at all times, and
particularly at this time, when de-
ceit and double dealing on the part OF
certain foreign-born residents are the
cause of SO much uneasiness and anx-
iety. a more strict enforcement of the
laws would seem desirable.
If an Industrial census does cost
money-no matter how much-it
should be evident that this money
were well spent even IL 1t would
bring nothing else about than the
correct information as to who lives
here and their nationality. In a small
city like Perth Amboy, comparatively
speaking, 1t should be ar easy matter,
by means Of such a census, to catch
all the slackers having residence
here. This Is a city that comprises a
large foreign population, with many
Germans among them. Is the small
figure of less han eighty, al reported
through City Hall, the correct figure;
If 1t is, 1t is indeed q very small n
and to my mind could bear a closer
investigation. Also, the small number
of young men registered as having
become of age. The predicted figures
varied all the way from 500 to 1000;
yet the official result was less than
500. Can this be true7
