WORK OR FIGHT REGULATION
MOST DRASTIC OF WAR,

WASHINGTON, May 27.--Every
man of draft age must work or fight
AFTER July 1, under a drastic amend
ment to the selective service regula-
tlons announced by Provost Marchal
General Crowder.
Not only idlers, but all draft reg
lstrants engaged in what are held to
De non-useful occupations are to be
nailed before local boards and given
the choice of new job or the army.
Gamblers, race track and bucket
shop attendants and fortune tellers
mead the list, but those who will be
reached by the new regulation also
include walters and bartenders, thea
ter ushers and attendants, passenger
elevator operators and other attend
ants of clubs, hotels, stores, &C.,
dOmeStics and clerks in stores.
Deferred classification granted on
account Of dependents will be disre-
Theatrical performers were except
ed from the regulations at the di-
rection Of Secretary of War Baker,
who is said to feel that the people
cannot do without all amusements in
war time, and that other amusements
could be disposed with more readily.
A man may be at the bottom of
Class l or even in Glass 4, but if he
falls within the regulation and re-
fuses to take useful employment, he
will be given a new number in Class
that will send him into the military
service forthwith.
Local boards are authorized to use
discretion only where they find that
enforced change of employment
would result in disproportionate
hardship on his dependents.
1t had been known for some time
that some form Of work or fight"
plan had been submitted to President
Wilson, but there has been no intima-
ton that it was so far-reaching in
scope. Both the military authorities
and the Department of Labor officials
believe that it will go long way to-
ward solving the labor problem for
farmers, shipbuilders and munition
makers, and will end for the present,
at least, talk of CONSUMPTION of labor
The announcement Thursday gives
notice significantly that the list of
non-useful occupations will be ex-
tended from time to time as neces-
sity requires.

TO REDUCE COAL PRICES TO
PUBLIC.

The Railroad Administration, We'd

that the price of coal to the public
be reduced 20 cents a ton. The rea-

coal, may be required to pay more,
giving the mines a margin of profit
on that business.
