General OrOwder is satisfied that all

fected by the new draft proposals will

Just before the Senate finally adopted
the conference report there was an an
terestlng statement by Senator Cham
berlain, Chairman Of the Military Com
mittee
Senator Thomas, author Of the work
or fight amendment, had made a
SPEECH protesting against the elimlna-
tion Of his section by the conferees. He
and Senator McCumber Of North Da-
kota, both predicted industrial unrest
without the control possible under such
an amendment.
Replying, Senator Chamberlain stated
that there was In the original draft
law a clause specifying that when cause
for an exemption from actual military
service ceased, the exemption should
cease also. This, he held, was SUM-
Client authority for control.
But he said, Che Secretary Of
War has practically nulhned the regu-
latlons and the law"
In support Of this contention. Senator
Chamberlain read a recent statement.
made by Secretary Baker after Gener-
al Crowder had issued the work or
nght order. The secretary said the
regulation had nothing to do with the
labor situation in the couptry. and it
was not INTENDED to regulate labor by
military rule. the order being intended
TO guide exemption boards in their
decisions.
Then the Senator's impression is
that the Secretary might interpret the
Thomas amendment in the same way If
It were in the bill?" asked Senator Nell
son, Of Minnesota.
Yes. absolutely, he might do so; the
Secretary has the right to place his
