II y said that these men arc all

TO carry on the work Of the railroads
and that It Is almost impossible to re-

have been made that many district
boards are extremely severe In their
Interpretations. constructions and find-
ings, and that for this reason many
men that should have been granted .
deferred classi fscation by reason Of oc-
cupation have been placed In line for
Immediate ipduction into the service.
In View Of this situation It 10 urged
