Work or Fight Policy Adopted by Government
Washington May 29 The government has adopted a work or fight policy under which men with draft deferment who refuse war jobs will be called into the army. Manpower Chief Paul McNutt announced the policy saying it applies to workers who refuse suitable employment in a war industry without reasonable cause. The ruling backs up a Wednesday order freezing essential workers in war plants to prevent labor pirates. McNutt said only a few political occupations in a small number of war plant areas would be affected immediately. Local committees of labor and management will hear appeals from workers or employers denied by the federal employment service. Employers who do not stop pirating after a warning will be reported to the Manpower Commission, the War Production Board, the War and Navy Departments and other agencies for appropriate action.
