12,7so,ooo to Register.
1t is estimated that 12,7SO 900 moi
between the ages of 18 and As we'll ba
enrolled by this registration, which,
added to the number previously en-.
rolled, will raise the total number OF
Americans registered for military duty
to approximately $4,000, 900 men.
Regulations by Provost Marsha
General E. H. Crowder for classified,
ton and summons of the new classes
of registrants to be enrolled Sept. Ia
will be issued soon.
First Called About Oct. 4.
1t is planned to begin classification
Immediately after registration so that
the first men of the IS to As class may
be called to the colors soon after Oct.
camp may be continued throughout the
fall and winter.
z a. m. to 9 p. m. Are Hours Set.
The proclamation fixes Z a. m. to 9
p. m. as the hours of registration, and
provides that persons who are ill may
register by agent, persons absent from
home may register by mail, persons
without permanent residence may reg
lister at a place designated by the local
board where they happen to be on
registration day, and persons at sea
or abroad may register within five
days after their return, or as provided
for other absentees.
While the draft law especially ex-
empts certain public officials from mil
itary service. the only men between
l8 and As exempted from registration
are men in the military or naval serv-
ice, men registered and awaiting call,
men enrolled in army, navy or marine
corps reserves and diplomatic and con-
sular officials of foreign governments
resident in but not citizens Of the
United States.
Industrial Furlough Planned.
Industrial %furloughs" are being
planned in connection with the second
draft. In a way this will serve as an
antistrike antidote.
AS now proposed, representatives of
the labor and agriculture departments
will sit with district boards to help
Jump exemption claims. In some cases,
labor may be indicted into tho serv-
ice, but provided it is essential to the
war industries, it will be ~furloughed
and sent back to- the factories.
There it can remain as long as it
works properly, but it can be seer
that the furlough can be ended and
the man ent back to the army if he
Stacks on the job.
The prevailing rate of pay will be
given the men thus f%urloughed and
they will not be subject to army pay
as long as they stay at their Industrial
tasks. This is held to be a fair sys-
TEN, which while it may be interpreted
by some as CONSUMPTION of labor, still
it gives it every latitude as long as
labor is loyal.
