NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-With close
to 100000 men scheduled to drop
civilian life and enter the ranks OF
the Army during the year ahead,
businessmen-from big corporation
executives down to the smallest re-
tailers-are trying to calculate what
effect conscription will have on their
business.
Here and there, observers agree,
dislocations are bound to result; but
the overall effect is expected TO be
one OF stimulation. New employ
ment provided in filling vacancies
created by the draft, plus the power
full impetus of armament spending
on a large scale, are counted on to
Offset the unfavorable repercussions
The immediate program created
by the draft will be one of personnel.
Many businesses have already COM
pleted surveys of those men likely to
be called to service. Plans for their
replacement are now being formu-
lated not without a good many
headaches for management.
The main difficulty is the fact
that wherever possible jobs must be
kept open for the conscriptees when
their terms of service has expired.
This means many of the new jobs
provided will be stipulated as tenn
porary and an effort will probably
be made to keep them as few as
possible to avoid expense of training
new men. On the other hand. if
conditions abroad made it necessary
to continue conscription for five
years and the problem of replace
ment promises to become recurrent,
it is quite possible, observers believe,

occur
If care is not exercised in selecting
those men who are eligible for the
draft, the headaches of industry
will be vastly multiplied, business
leaders point out. Key men, whether
their skill be in clerical, managerial
or mechanical lines, are not easily
replaced. Some industries are said
to be already feeling a pinch for
men of adequate training and expe-
rience, even before conscription.
Business has the assurance of the
administration, however, that men
vital to industry and agriculture will
not be drafted. Employers are
hoping that in actual operation the
draft will live up to this assurance
for the sake of a minimum dis
turbance in the armament program
if for no other reason.

Survey Says

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-At least
two years of high activity in the
steel industry lie ahead in the oplr-
ion of men in close touch with ma
tional defense requirements, Iron
Age said today in weekly survey.
Full impact of defense needs on
the industry may not be felt be-
fore the first quarter of next year.

1t added:
with steel requirements for the
national defense program still a
long way from their peak, producers
are becoming more concerned over
the possibility of shortage OF raw
steel Even now. with potential ton
mage much greater than actual de-
fense bookings of steel, the melting
capacity of a number of the coun-
trys leading plants is being pushed
to maximum capacity.
Stacker operations.
The fact that the industrys rate
has not reached 100 per cent is due
to Stacker operations at some of the
smaller plants, particularly those en-
gagged mainly in the light products,
and the comparatively small utili-
zation of Bessemer capacity, which
last month Was operated at only
72.59 per cent. against 81 13 per cent
for open hearth.
The ramifiCations of the defense
program are now such that nearly
all branches of the metal-working
industry are feeling its effects or
will be soon. In the forefront at
the moment is construction of new
plants and facilities.
Channels of steel consumption
in which Government sponsorship
is not directly a factor are also
showing expansion. The automo-
bile industry, which may soon be
producing about 100000 cars week,
is taking more steel, and the rail-
road program after temporary
iull has brought out inquiries this
week for a total of 4,500 to 5000
cars.
British Buying Heavily.
The British are still buying
heavily, though there has been
little lull in shipments to permit
ships to be used for conveying food
to Britain.
"A report from Europe to Iron
Age states that some German steel
plants have been severely damaged
by bombs. However, no British
steel plants have been damaged, ac-
