FARM LABOR IN SPECIAL CLASS Pro of District Boards as to : Needs ADVISORS WILL BE NAMED Officials, Not Members of Se- lective Commissions, will be Councillors 3.—Unde: nent fo: Washington, D. C., Sept. the rules of the war dep: executing the new draft law, special | pravision is made for informing the| district boards in regard to farm la- bor requirements in order that nec: sary food production may be mair tained, says a statement issued by | The, the department of agriculture. statement continues: In the new draft the district boards are charged with the duty of putting into deferred classes those persons who are more likely to further the war by remaining in civilian occupations than by entering the army. Accord- ingly, three advisers are to be select- ed for each district board—one for agriculture, one for labor, and one for other occupations. The agricultur- al adviser will be appointed by the board upon the recommendation of the secretary of agriculture. The ad- visers are not members of the board _but may, when invited, attend its meetings. How Agricultural Adviser Will Aid. The duties of the agricultural ad- viser will be to furnish to the board facts relative to farm-labor require ments, not only for his own district, but of the whole country. He should be'the repository of all facts having relation to the deferment of agricul- tural workers, whether these be ne- cessary farm laborers, managers or operators. He will be expected to advise the district boards as to a shortage or surplus of necessary farm workers for any given district, as well as for the entire Nation. Such in- formation will be supplied to the ad- visors by the department of agricul- ture. This will make it possible to have necessary workers transferred from distriqts in which they may not be necessary to, other districts in which they are sorely needed. The adviser may also concern him- self with individual cases that come before the district board. He will have the right, tions, to examine the questionnaires and’ other records in the files of the local board for the purppse of asc taining whether persons entitled to de- ferred classification have actually claimed it. In case he finds the names of such registrants he may file for them a claim for deferred classific tion with the district board. which, in turn, may require the local board. to certify the questionnaire and record of any such registrant for considera- tion. Reasonable time will be given for the purpose of o%taining informa- tion and supplying the affidavits re- Ifa local board determines fication because a registrant is en- gaged in a necessary occupation, not- withstanding no claim for deferred classification on that ground has been made, it shall endorse the recommend- ation on the questionnaire of the reg- istrant and forward it to the district ‘board having jurisdiction. The dis- trict board will thereupon consider the case and proceed to ciassify the registrant, notwithstanding the fact that no claim for deferred classifica- tion by or in respect of the registrant fas been made. Claims in Behalf of Necessary Em-| ployees. | A further duty with which the ad- viser is charged is to confer with em-/ ployers of necessary farm workers, and to instruct them as to their right under the regulations to file a claim | for deferred classification in respect! of any registrant who has failed or| refused to file a claim for deferred classification in his own behalf. Th in the opinion of the war department, 4s a very important matter. The ap- parent injustice of placing many reg- istrants in Class 1 ig often due to the fact that employers have failed to make claims for deferred classifica- tion on behalf of necessary workers. | It 4s to avoid a repetition of this IN NEW DRAFTS ion Made for Information | under certain condi-|a -|Master in Chancery or -| tion.

The question of whether | such investigation shall be made by| under direct | t supervision of the judge himself, taken under advisement. Some time ago, just a few fore the North Dakota pri elec- after Nonpartisan chiefs’ coun- sel, James Manahan and William Lem- ke, had prot d to produce records | of the Nonpartisan league, they ap-|{ peared in federal court of ‘North Da- kota, attempting to obtain from Judge Amidon an ord andoning ‘his pre-| vious order, by which inquiry was be- ing prosecuted in Minnesota of Town- | ley’s rs, they contended that Townley was being “politically perse- | cuted.” | Judge Amidon).in holding that the} j or not the Nonpartisan chief has con- verted to his own us of $300 a month, which ‘he ha is the salary he accepts from the; league and its newspapers. Francis | Murphy, attorney for the creditors, | who hold claims of approximately $ i 000 against which Townley balances | assets of about $500, all claimed ex- | empt, presented to the federal court! a statement showing steps taken to| date and indicating that Townley’s own admission relative to his con- duct of the league’s finances warrant- ed the probe of the recor mean of protecting the interests of credit- | i ors, BUY W. S. §.———-— trouble that farmers should see that} all of their necessary employees, whether sons or other laborers, of the) draft age have made for them just! claims for deferred classification. i One important explanation is made} in the new selective service regula-| tionnaire provides deferred classifica- ition for the “necessary skilled farm la- borer in necessary agricultural enter- prise.” The new regulations provide | that in Class If shall be placed any| ‘Tegistrant ‘found to be engaged in a “necessary” agricultural enterprise. ind found to be necessary to such en- erprise in the capacity of a farm la- porer—“especially fitted for the work | in which he is engaged.” This quoted “phrase constitutes an explanation of! ‘what is meant by “skilled” as applied | to farm laborer. The expression will! make easier the determination of the | ‘status of many registrants. _ War Service in the Right Place. ,. The purpose in the appointing of ad- \visers is to place men where they can} do most to help win the war. These ad-| visérs. will be able to help greatly the | dis¢rict boards to keep in agriculture (the necessary workers. These work- ers, whatever may be their inclina- tion to enter military service, should stand ready to serve in any capacity in which pooel can contribute most to- “ward a speedy ending of the war. In order that this may be done a frank sy ent should, in each case, be to the boards. It is believed that it will ‘frequently require as couage on the part of many men remain in their civilian occupa «tions as to waive deferment. effort to keep men in aust, rather than to send them to the camps be abus- i to es- | factory show !
