Executives of the municipalities of
10000 population or over will have
their police departments compile a
list of all habitual idlers in the COM
munity, to the end that each may be
individually warned of the penalty Of
500 or three months in jail, or both,
prescribed for deliberate non-employ-
ment and that the names of those hav-
ing no work may be certified promptly
to the State Labor Department as
available for employment.
"0ur farms and industries need
more man power than is available to
meet extraordinary demands for pro-
duction. BY making Chapter 55 of the
laws Of 1918 something more than a
temporary sensation we shall be help
ing to supply this demand and at the
same time curbing vagrancy, useless
ness, mendicancy, immortality and
crime"
James +. Warner, Sheriff Of Union
County, n. j., said that he didn't be-
lieve the anti-loafng act would cause
him much extra work. "Most of us
work pretty steadily over here" said
Sheriff Warner, "but if there are any
idlers III soon smoke them out. They
will be put TO work on the new prison
farm near the mountains back of
Plainfeld. We could use few hands

Oh, YOU LOAFER
Don't Go TO New Jersey TO Loaf as
New Anti-Loating Act Has Teeth

Teeth sprouted Friday in New Jer-
sey's anti-loating act, when Governor
Edge issued proclamation directing
shcriffs and other peace officers to
compel every idling male resident of
the state to go to work or go to Jail.
The law was passed at the last session
of the Legislature as war measure,
and Governor Edge says the law will
supply the manpower need of farms
and industries, supplying the army.
Persistent idlers, whether million
aires by inheritance or hobos by in
clination, will be sent to jail until they
show disposition to reform and treat
life as serious proposition, If Gov
ernor Edges proclamation is respected
by the law enforcing arm of the state
machinery. Under the provisions of
the work or jail" act ablebodied men
between the ages Of Is and so years
can be penalized with fine of 500 or
three months in Jail, or both. In his
proclamation the Governor put an en-
phasis on the words "or both" that
doubtless will change the lifelong
habits Of scores Of wealthy young men
whose chief pride in the past has been
to be identified with "the leisure

Governor Edges Proclamation
The text Of Governor Edges proela-
nation follows
In accordance with the provisions
Of Chapter 55, Laws Of 1918,
Il, Walter f. Edge, Governor Of
New Jersey, hereby issue this, my
proclamation, putting into full force
and effect and calling upon all law
officers Of the state TO enforce the leg
islative enactment declaring il TO be
the duty Of every ablebodied male res
ident Of this state, between the ages of
Ia and so years to be habitually and
regularly engaged in some lawful, use
ful and recognized business, profess
sion, occupation, trade or employment
on and after the date of this proclaim
alton until the termination of the war
in which the United States is now en-
gagged
in its wisdom the Legislature has
ordained that, following the issuance
Of this proclamation, it shall be the
duty Of the Commissioner of Labor TO
prepare and publish such rules and
regulations governing the assignment
Of persons to work as shall insure
equality of treatment and take into
account age, physical condition and
any other circumstances of the idivid-
ual This is imperatively necessary
because of the plain fact that the sue
cess or failure of New Jerseys anti
loafng legislation will depend upon its
application.
Must Increase Man Power
"The selective service principle
should prevail as in the making of
our military forces. In this task we
are drafting for the industrial army.
There are kinds of work too severe,
in a physical sense, for the society
idler,' who may, however, be compe-
tent to handle such tasks which would
be impossible for slackers of the hobo
type. Sound judgment must be en-
ployed in our experiment to rid the
human hive of its drones, and | call |
upon the Labor Department of the |
state to employ all of its available
resources, including the Federal-state-
employment bureaus, in
providing machinery to obtain the
kind of work suitable for specific
cases.
"To put into motion the machinery |
thus to be provided by the State De-
partment of Labor will require the CO.
operative touch of w-enforcing Off
GERS all over the state. | therefore
call the attention of sherilfs, mayors
and heads of police depart ments in all
to the necessity Of
sharp vigilance and a
keen eye for those workless individuals
whose lack of ambition and fondness
for idleness constitute not merely a
financial burden to every community
but also a genuine menace to the well
fare of the nations manhood under
arms and their safety on the battle
'front.'.
