units the councilmen had agreed
they were within the spirit OF the

Forced Labor
in War Jobs
Talked
Bill Before Two
Committees Now
in Congress

Washington. Feb. Sup The
draft-labor bill. designed to enable
the government to select and as
sign civilian men between Is and
So and women between Is and so
years to war jobs. lies today before
the Military Affairs Committees "
House and Senate.
There are about 1880, 900 wom-
EN- and 100000 men in the indi-
Gated age groups but many OF the
men and a few OF the women al
ready are in the services. Many
Of the women would be exempted
under special provisions for preg-
nant women and for those response
BILE for care OF the aged. the i'll or
Of children up to IS years.
War Manpower Commissioner
Paul V. McNutt, the only admins
tration officials who Immediately
commented on the bill. refused
either to endorse or repudiate "
He said he favored working out
manpower problems on a voluntary
basis.
The bill was introduced by Sen.
Warren r. Austin, r., VT. and Rep.
James w. Wadsworth. R., n. Y.
and is backed in part by the same
administration forces which
sponsored and obtained favorable
action in 1946 or the first Selec-
tive Service Act.
The bill promises to be even
more explosively controversial. II
not only raises questions of CON-
pulsory labor and forced migration
Of workers. but also touches the
dispute whether the armed forces
can be expanded to the proposed
II 100000 men and women without
reducing production below danger
levels. Some persons believe there
must be an enormous redistribution
of labor effort in this country
forced or voluntary-if the armed
services are to attain projected
numbers.
The sharpest dispute Is prom.
ised around a proposal by some
hackers of the draft-labor bill that
workers nj selected for seryice ne
guarantsirl the right TO join a union
or not . join, as they might see
fit, on entering their new employ
ment. Such a provision evidently
would crack closed shop industries

be Serious

Difficulties OF the fire department
were on the wav TO solution today
following a meeting OF city council,
and civil service and fire commits
sions Monday evening.
The meeting was called following
a formal protest made at last coun
Gil meeting by Z. ]. Doran follow.
ing a fire which resulted in heavy
damage at his garage.
There seemed to be unanimous
agreement in the two commissions
that the department is under.
manned and Fire Chief Dignsp esti-
mated that at least six more men
should be added. There are now Is
and 90 are needed to properly man
the equipment, he pointed out. He
said that 1t takes five men to put
a pumper into operation and that 1t
is often the case that only four
men respond to fire. This situa-
ton is occasioned by the new
Kelly" day, one day in each l6
for each employe Of the department
or by illness.
Chief Dignan also pointed out
need for lieutenants and captains
as each time his or Assistant Chief
John Hadleys day off comes. there
is no official in charge Of the de-
partment.
Have Applications
The civil service commission
which had reported a dearth OF ap.
plications for jobs in the depart
ment reported that there are now
three and that a fourth man is con
sidering making an application. One
OF the men who was recently added,
James Pittman, is leaving the 18th
as he has been called to the armed
services.
Possibility OF using volunteer S
was considered but opinion seemed
70 be that lack Of training would
hinder their usefulness. With only
Is auxiliary firemen, many OF whom
would not be in position 10 help
fight a conilagration, it was also
decided that their use would not be
feasible.
Result Of the meeting was that
the fire commission was encouraged
TO bring a recommendation to next
council meeting for additional men.
The commission was also asked TO
bring a recommendation asking res.
toration OF the use OF sirens on fire
trucks.
