WORK OR FIGHT RULE c !t ) Provost Manlul General's Instrnc- t tioiis to Draft Boards. d I Washington, June 21.?Instruc- l tions to draft boards were issued to- t day by ProvoBt Marshal Gen. Crow- '< tder. explaining and auiDlifyina the t work or fight order undqr which, r after July 1, all men of draft age, re- 1 gardless of their present classifies- a tion, must engage in employment held to be productive or join the t army. E "Whqn it is has been determined c that a person in deferred classifies- 1 s > tion is gn idler or is engaged in non-, t productive service," say the instructions, "the classification and order number of such person will be withdrawn and he will be immediately inducted into the military service." , ] Several specific rulings are made g as to the effect of the order upon 1 certain classes namqd as non-produc- f tive. In the case of spprts and amuse- j j ments, the lag of the order is repeat- 11 ed with emphasis, but without me|i-1 j tioning professional baseball, an jr expected announcement concerning I s which had been awaited with wide c special interest. In making public j the instructions, however, officials J a of Gen. Crowder's office mIH h??o-1 r ball playing "at present" is regarded s as non-productive, though there will t ba no ruling until an individual case t has been appealed from a local c board. ; i Chauffeurs "public and private" t are eliminated from the non-produc- t i tive class unless they engage in c i work held to be non-productive in p addition to their mechanical duties. )i This feature of the instructions at- t traded attention because it would a class as useful a family chauffeur r who performed no other service and t would send him into the army if he acted as butler or handy man around c the house. / v The boards are directed to apply 1 common sense in considering with- t drawals of deferred classification ' j privileges, and to aid registrants in ! i ! making necessary changes in em- r ! ployment by furnishing lists of those b summoned for examination for the IIkj United States employment ser- I vice. j i "Local boards will consider cases i of withdrawal of deferred classifies- [ i tion with common sense," Gen.

Crowder's instructions say, and they j name illness, vacation, the impossi| bility of securing productive employ ment without a change of residence > ( us reasonable grounds for waiving i the general order. While sales clerks , in stores and clerical workers in offices are classed as non-producers, boards are directed to exempt depart- * ment store executives and skilled ' workers attached to such establish- ' ments. Traveling salesmen will be, considered as engaged in productive ! employment, but automobile sales- j? men in cities will not, it was extheir mechanical duties. Local boards are asked to assist when they combine other work with r their mecanical duties. Local boards ar<| asked to assist , registrants to obtain new employ- h ment through the federal employ- r ment service, and are given power to j11 postpone action while effort is being1 made to place men in occupations 1 productive. t "When it has been determined that a person in deferred classifies-! itiou is an idler or is engaged in non-1 ; productive employment," the instruction say, "the classification and or-! der number of such person will be withdrawn, and he will immediately be inducted into the military servicet "The regulations provide that persons engaged in the service of food H>r drink, or either in public placift, [ elude managers, clerks, cooks, or! engaged in non-productive employ-i ment.
