| WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1918 wn "WORK OR FIGHT" ORDER EXPLAINED At the May 31 meeting of the State Council of Defense, V. A. Olan- der drew the Council's attention to the damaging confusion produced by widely exploited misinterpretation of Provost Marshal General Crowder's so-called May 23. The entire subject matter was re- ferred to the State Council's com- mittee on Law and Legislation, com- posed of Levy Mayer, John G. Ogles- by and D. E. Shanahan with instruc- tions to analyze the selective service law and regulations and to report thereon with a view to informing the public. "Work or Fight" order of Committee Report The committee's report was pre- sented to the meeting of the State Council last Friday. Its conclusions are: Serious confusion and misunder- standing have resulted from the in- complete or erroneous publicity that has been given to the additional re- gulations (General Crowder's order of May 23). When carefully in- vestigated, all occasion for alarm or misunderstanding disappeared. The "work or fight" regulations of May 23 do not conflict and are not incon- sistent with the original regulations of November 8, 1917. The "work or fight" regulations do not in any way apply to those who are not registered (under the select- ive draft law). Only those are re- gistered who are between the ages of 21 and 31. Therefore the com- mand to "work or fight" applies only to those between the ages of 21 and 31, and in no way concerns or affects men above the drafc age. Waen this is clearly understood, =2il occasion for criticism of alarm entirely dis- appears. Does Not Effect Strikers Registrants between the ages of 21 and 31 who are unemployed by reason of strikes are not subject to the "Work or Fight" regulations. No existing Federal regulation and no law of the State of Illinois sup- ports or justifies any claim or con- tention that men above the draft age can be compelled or are com- pellable to perform a certain amount of labor each day or each week. The Law and Legislation com- mittee's report covers fully the classification of all registrants and collateral questions. The full report has been ordered published and will be ready for distribution in a few days. Communication Winnetka Weekly Talk, Winnetka, Illinois.
