McNutt Moves
To Bar Draft Of
Skilled Workers
Eight Orders Issued
On Utilizing U. S.
Man Power in War
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

Eight directives to promote
the fullest utilizat ton of the
man power of the Nation" in
cluding one directing selective
service to instruct local draft
boards to seek advice from local
public employment Offices before
drafting individuals skilled in
critical war occupations, were
announced today by Paul v. Nc
Mutt, chairman of the War Man
Power Commission.
In announcing the directives, now
being drafted to become effective
June /, Mr.. McNutt emphasized
that insofar as it is possible to
insure the full and effective utiliza-
ton of our man power through VOL
untary cooperation with the Gov
ernment, it will be unnecessary to
put into effect legal controls which
will inevitably limit the freedom of
action OF workers and employers
alike"
He specifically urged that all
employers recruit new workers
through the United States Employ
ment Service and that all persons
desiring war work register with the
service.
PriOrities on Workers.
Two Of the directives make pos
Sible system of giving the most
important war plants a priority on
workers.
The directives are the first steps
taken by the Man Power Commits
sion, which has held three meetings.
Mr.. McNutt said the directives had
been decided on following consulta- =
ton with the commission.
He said he would urge that the
publishers of the Nation refrain from
accepting advertisements which
are designed TO steal workers from
employers engaged in essential war
production. Mr.. McNutt has al
ready protested so-called labor
piracy" or one employer offering
nlsIlef wages 10 take necessary men
from another plant.
In cases where labor unions have
agreements with an employer to fur
nish workers, Mr.. McNutt urged that
they observe the same priorities in
furnishing workers that the United
States Employment Service is re-
quested to observe.
Eight Orders Are Given.
The eight directives follow:
l. A directive to the United States
Employment Service to prepare and
maintain a list of those skilled oc-
cupations essential to war produc-
ton in which a national shortage
exists. Such occupat tions will be
designated as critical war occupa-
tions.

ton Board to classify war plants
and war products in the order of
their urgency in the wal program.

Action Due Soon
On Income Tax
PayDeduction
House Unit Studying
10 Pct. Wage Levy
Over Exemptions

By the Associated Press.
Randolph Paul. Treasury tax
adviser, said today that the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee was now considering and
might vote tomorrow on a Treas
ury proposal to deduct each pay
day a fiat 10 per cent of taxable
income.
The committee turned to its con-
sideration of the -as-you-go
arrangement soon after completing
it's new individual tax program by
raising the range of surtaxes from
GIT per cent to 1921 per cent.
Noting that proposed lower per-
Sonal income tax exemptions will
require income tax payments from
persons earning as little as $40 a
week, Mr.. Paul said. IAN income
tax which covers as many as 90
100000 or 3O,0Oo,0O0 people cannot
function effectively without collec-
ton at the source
Deductions Provided.
The deductions would be fiat
10 per cent of all wages, interest
or dividends over scale of exemp-
tions being written into the new
income tax bill.
In the case of a single person.
the check off would be 10 per cent
of his wages in excess of Sll per
week as the tax bill now stands.
The check off would start after
S26 per week income of married
persons, or s26 plus $3.50 for each
dependent of married persons.
When the March Is taxpaying
date rolled around the worker would
make out an income tax return
just as he does now. However, after
figuring his tax, he would deduct
the amount of tax already paid for
him by his employer and pay the
difference, if any.
In some cases the tax might be
less than the sum already paid. Re
funds would be provided in sucn
cases.
NO Lkempt Employers.
In response to questions, Mr.. Paul
said that the Treasury proposal
would not exempt any classification
of employers. If adopted in this
form, the plan would require. for
instance. housewives to deduct small
tax amounts from the wages of
many domestic servants.
Farmers and other employers ex-
empted from making similar deduc-
tions for social security also would
be required to participate in the new
plan.
Mr.. Paul indicated, however. that
it was unlikely that the plan would
be put into effect, even though ap-
proved by Congress. for two or three
months or more He refused to esti-
mate how long it would take Con-
gress to enact the legislation. but
said it would take 80 to so days after
Congress finishes the legislation be-
fore the Treasury could set up the
necessary administrative machinery.
