Work or Fight Order Defined for Occupations
Crowder issues regulations detailing how draft boards apply the work or fight order to sports and other jobs. Baseball players may be nonproductive, with waivers for illness vacation and relocation. department store executives and skilled store staff may be exempt. traveling salesmen count as productive, but urban automobile salesmen do not. Public chauffeurs are nonproductive unless paired with other work, and many service staff in hotels clubs and stores are deemed nonproductive unless actively serving. The ruling follows an exodus of draft-age men from restricted occupations.
