g. Those whose drafting is de-
ferred because they have dependent
q. Those whose drafting is not
desired for any of several reasons
because they are aliens. because
they are in prison, and SO on.
Local draft boards would do the
classifying, and their decisions
would be final.
Suppose, now, that a worker
claims deferred status under Class
2-as an essential worker in an es-
sential industry. NO industry would
get blanket exemption such as was
conferred on the shipyards in the
last war.
Instead, the worker would have
to present his draft board with two
affidavits. one from his immediate
superior and the other from the
executive head of the firm he work
ed for. These affidavits would have
to state, first, that the firm was
engaged in ar-essential activities,
and second that this particular
worker was essential to its opera
tions. The employer would also
have To submit an estimate of the
length of time it would take him to
rain a substitute.
Suppose that the worker gets his
deferred status, in Glass 2. He would
not get it for the duration of the
war, but for some specified period
three months, six months, year,
or whatever the board might de-
telmiue. At the end of that time
ne would have 10 come in again.
On top of this, tne plan speciii-
cally authorizes the president, if
he deems it in the national inter-
est, to override draft board clas-
sifications and call up men from
Glasses 2, 3 or T.
How this machinery could be
used TO destroy union organiza-
ton and regiment labor is obvious
upon a little reflection. Cne group
which did a great deal of reflect
ing on it is the famous Nye Mu-
nitions Committee. In 1886 it issued
a report on the Industrial Mobili-
zation Plan, stating that if this sort
of draft act were followed this
country will have for all practical
purposes a draft of labor
The Industrial Mobilization Plan
is not law now. On the outbreak of
war, or the appearance of a great
national emergency, the War De-
partment would try to get it enact
ed by Congress.

N lew Record

On Nov. II, 1918, when the fight
ing stopped on the European front,
the United States had broken a
number of records. One of them
was that it had amassed an all
time high record of federal en-
ployes.
This great civil army began to
be demobilized even sooner than
the fighting forces, and for some
years declined steadily. Then it
began to rise again, and now, 20

erad. The post office would be with in its rights in refusing delivery of mail to those buildings which are unnumbered, he said, although such measures have never yet been re- sorted to.
 According to Charles Platt, super intendent in charge of mail delivery, in many cases the owners or agents of buildings in Waterbury do not even know the proper street numbers for them. This is especially true of new streets, where the house owner may simply estimate what the num- Der of the house ought to be, and use that number as though it were official. Others then adopt numbers in conformity with the one already chosen by their neighbor. The only proper way to ascertain the number a house should have, he said, is to consult the office of the city engi- neer who has the number of all the lots in the city.
 MT. Platt said that he would also like to point out that many people seem to be unaware of the necessity

of providing themselves with prop CT receptacle for mail. In many cases, he said, people prefer to use baskets rather than plain metal boxes. But in this case, he added, the responsibility of the posta, em- ployes is limited to putting the mall in the basket. Any mail lost sub sequently before it gets to the ad- dressee, the post office Is not respon- sible for. The same thing holds for metal boxes whose locks have been broken by their owners after the keys have been lost. In such a case, the loss of any mail after delivery is the responsibility of the addressee, not that of postal authorities.

SURVEY STARTS

Labor Commissioner Dan= aher Appeals to All Job-

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 16-Unem- ployed men and women who have not yet registered at the Connecticut State Employment offices and others who have not renewed their regis trations within the last 60 days were requested today to visit the employ ment offices without delay by State Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Danaher. The commissioner said the Employment Service was preparing for a survey of unemployment re- quested by Governor Baldwin and was anxious that all unemployed people be represented in the active files of the IS offices.
 The council to be named by Gov- ernor Baldwin upon his return from the West Coast will seek action in local communities in an effort to return men and women to work. The governor has pointed out that each local unemployment problem has its own peculiarities and for that rea- son local groups should be set up to seek solution to their respective problems. For this reason Commis-

 The employment office will break its active file down to show the sex, age, and occupation of those now idle in the various cities and towns. The survey will show, also, the num- Der of untrained youths, the num- Der of older workers whose skills have become rusty and who require retraining and also the number of unemployables.

Estimates On Sewer
 Projects Are Asked
Department to Furnish Data for Finance
 Committee Needed for Hamilton Avenue

City storm and sanitary sewer projects occupied the attention of the economy committee of the board of finance last night. On recommen- dation of Commissioner John H. Goss, the committee voted to have the engineering department draw up complete list of sanitary sewer projects, either underway or pro- posed, with the cost to the city in each, the number of men gwen WPA employment, and the time estimated for the completion of each project.
 William H. Hoovel, one of the as- sistant city engineers, informed the board that the engineering depart ment plans to use the pumps for merly used on Huntingdon avenue, which are now idle, to pump sewage from streets in the Fairlawn area, where sanitary sewers have been in- stalled but are not yet connected with trunk lines. The pumps, MT. Hoovel said, will be used in man. ner similar to the pumps used in the White City section, off East Main street at Mad river.
 Construction of a storm sewer on East Main street, at Southmayd road, will have to be halted within the next few days because of lack of funds, MT. Hoovel told the com mittee. Other projects supervised by the engineering department will soon have to be shut down for the same reason, he told the commit tee.
 In answer to a question by Com missioner Major w. Judge, commit tee chairman, as to how work was progressing on repairs to the pipe line from Shepaug, MT. Hoovel pointed out that the work had been authorized only last week and had just about been begun.
 The committee took no action on a request by the engineering de- partment for approval of trans- fer of $2,000 to keep up work on storm water sewer projects. The de- partment is now working with ball. ance of only $2,000 available. The additional $2,OOO is available in an unencumbered item, MT. Hoovel told the committee.
 Answering a question by Commis- sioner Goss, Mir. Hoovel estimated that about 830 men are employed on all local sewer projects. They are paid by the WPA. Of this total, he said, about 600 or $50, are working on installation of sanitary sewers.
 MT. Hoovel told the committee that $1O,O00 is needed for the Hamilton avenue paving project. There is shortage of about $l 900 ln the actual

The seventh annual Rockville
Fire Department carnival will be
held at the old fair grounds,
August 18th to the 10th inclusive.
According to w. Valentine Wilson,
general chairman of the carnival,
the affair this year promises to
be more elaborate and entertain
ing than ever before.
Marbery F. Gates, assistant
chairman, announces the carnival
will be high-lighted by two public
weddings. On August 16, Miss
Edna Marie Andrews, Rockville,
will wed Herman Lee Edwards,
Bethesda. The Reverend Mr..
Winters, chaplain of the State
Firemen's Association, will per-
form the ceremony. The other
wedding will be held Monday,
August IA at 8 P. M. The
couples are to be announced later.
With the completion of the
addition to the fire house, the car
nival this year will take on an
added interest. The new construc-
ton, built at cost Of approx
mately $4,000, will house the
Brockway Pumper, formerly kept
outside Of the building. And with
the new space provided there will
be seven new Office rooms and a
recreation room for men. aAe,
cording to Mr.. Gates, the depart
ment has a roster of SO men.
Four pieces of equipment valued
at approximately $4,000, includ-
ing the building, are maintained
by the carnival proceeds as no
taxes are levied for that purpose.
An innovation this year will be
an archery court. This sport has
gained wide favor in many Sec
tons of the country and it is
expected to be one of the most
popular of the attractions. Others
will include the famous African
Dip, which is always a popular
pastime, and incidentally, the
Fire Department is anxious to
receive application for this; the
merry-go-round, the ferris wheel,
the high striker, where one can
test their strength and skill; the
bingo table and many other inter
esting amusements found at car
nivals.
Three automobiles will be given
away this year as in former
years. One on each of the last
three nights of the carnival.
There will be a gate prize each
evening, as well as dancing. Music
will be provided by Bob Winfrey's
Orchestra. The following chair
