Under the measure, upon which tn"

to take whatever jobs they are as
signed to by local draft boards, at
whatever pay rates and working con-
ditions employers may impose.
LuhrSen said the chiefs of each of

of brute power over the manpower of
America" 1t would enable both the
military and sweatshop employers to

1t gives the military supreme au-

and at the same time puts Il power

the democratic functioning of this gov

Hunger For Profits
This bill reflects the viewpoint of
