Compulsory Work Laws

In letter to Gov. Harrington of
Maryland the President very Fearti-
ly indorses the idea back of the
compulsory work law in effect in
that State, West Virginia, New York,
New jersey, Delaware and South
Dakota. Gen. CrOwder, who was
responsible for the "work-Or fight"
order issued in connection with the
selective draft laws operation, also
indorses the Maryland idea.
The difference between Gen.
Crowder'S order and the Maryland
law is that the former applies only
to men of draft age, while the latter
takes in all abled bodied men be-
tween Is and So If rigidly enforc-
ed, the two together insure a mini
mum of loafers and maxinum of
labor in useful lines.
People all over the country are
watching the operation of the laws
in States where they have been
adopted, and, if satisfactory, there
will be an overwhelming demand
for similar enactments in all the
remaining States as soon as the
Legislatures meet.
