FIGHT OR GO TO WORK
President Considering Arrangement
to Use All Men to Best Advantage
of Country.

Washington April 6.-President
Wilson had before him today a plan
submitted by officials of the War and
Labor departments designed to use
the machinery of the draft to put IN
duStriaI slackerS to work.
The purpose of the new program
which has been agreed upon by the
provost marshall generals office Is to
purify the second, third and fourth
classes Of registrants who are not en-
gagged in productive industry, but the
lower section of Glass one also ja
given attention.
Trainers of the plan see in its work.
ing a solution of the nations labor
problem and a large increase in pro-
duction Of necessities of life. ..
Every registered man who has been
given a deferred classification will be
given an opportunity to enjoy such
privilege, but if unfair advantage is
taken of the privilege it will be re-
voked.
The principal increase to the labor
supply is expected to be derived from
men in lower sections of Class I whose
position In that class gives them de-
ferred classification.

False Statement in Criticism of Sc
dition Bill and Should Apologize.

Washington, April 6.-The charge
that Theodore Roosevelt had made a
false statement in declaring the sedi-
