Washington, 10.—The rules under which the selective pro- cess will be applied to the 13,000,000 men expected to register next Thurs- day were issued late yesterday by Provost Marshal General Crowder These rules, approved by the Pres- which the draft boards may exercise ident, greatly extend the scope within their discretion as to the men who shall be selected by the armies and those whose industry is deemed essen- tial to the natien's welfare. They fit in with the list of essential industries by the War Industries Board, though the fact is emphasized that full au thority remains in the hands of the district boards It is pessible, that district boards sion not follow the War Industries list or restrict the list. To aid registrants in making their own classification printed leaflets wiil | be inserted in the questionnaires giv- ing instructions on how they shall claim deferred classification on the new occupational grounds. 1 Copies of these revised regulations, | with the leaflets, are being mailed to local and district boards throughout the country. Not only is the status of the district boards clearly set forth in the new regulations but the assist- ance which government advisers will render to the district boards is also outlined clearly | An important feature the fact that managers and heads of industries may file claims with the government advisers for deferred classification of | registrants regarded as necessary to thair inductry, even though the regis- trants themselves have failed te clai deferred classification or have waived their claims. “It shall be the duty of such ad- vigers,” the new regulations say, “to | confer with the managers and heads | of the varlous industries and those | familiar with the needs in occupations end employments, including agricul- ture, and instruct such persons as to | their right under the regulations to file a claim for deferred classifica- tion in respeet to any. registrant who has failed or refused to file a claim for deferred classification in his own | behalf, and who has waived his right for deferred classification.” | “District boards,” the statement | says, * are charged with the duty of selecting the individuals whose en- gagement in industry, including agri- culture, or whose occupations or em- ployments are such as to require their continued serviee in civil life rather than in the army. “In order to provide for the nec- | essary adjustments between the nec- essities of the military establishment and the requirements of the indus- tries, occupations and employments, including agriculture, found to be | necessary to the maintenance of the | military establishment, the effective | operation of the military forces and | the mhintenance of the national in- terests during the emergeney, thera shall be appointed by each distriet board three persons to be known as industrial advisers to the district board. “One such person for each district board shall be .nominated by the De- partment of Labor, one by the Depart- ment ef Agriculture and one by each | Qistrict beard, who shall thereupon ! be appointed by the rspective district | boards. | “Whenever In the disretion of th. President more than three such indus- trial advisers are required by a dis- trict board the President may call upon the Department of Labor of the Department of Agriculture of the dis- trict board to neminate such addition- | al industrial advisers, who shall there- l Sept. new though not probable, may upon occa guidance of the and may extend is upon be appointed by such district board. “Such industrial advisers so ap- pointed by each district board shall not in any sense be members of such | distriet beard, shall have no right to vote at any meetings thereof, and shall have and exercise only the rights, | duties, powers and functions herein cifically given. Such advisers shall have the right to furnish all pertinent information | to the district hoard and may attend meetings of the board upon request of the board to which they are at- | “Such advisers may place before | board at its meetings, or | at such other time as the board may request, all facts and information in | | stons as to whether or not any par- holding a8 necessary any their possession as to the preference | lists issued by the priorities division | of the War Industries Board. Such lists shall not be regarded as binding upon the district board in its conclu- ticular industry, occupa#op er em- ployment, including agriculture, s a necessary industry, occupation or em- ployment within the meaning of the law or the regulations, nor shall such ist prevent the distrtct board from industry, occupation or employment, including agriculture, not contained therein. “Such preference lists and other facts and information in the possession of such advisers will supplement the information in the possession of th district boards and will also be used | | to asslst the district boards in dealing | with specific cases.” | 75,000 SEE WAR HIBITS.
