The order requires reporting of idle registrants or those in nonessential occupations to the local board and details the consequences after July 1 for Class 1 to 4 registrants. Clerks in mercantile places and many service workers must seek new employment. Sickness, reasonable vacation, or temporary absence may excuse non employment, but habitual absence triggers induction.
