Must Stay On Job Or Face Army Draft
Paul McNutt said war workers who are frequently absent without good excuses should have their draft deferments revoked. He noted no action taken yet but backed policy to enforce attendance. The list of essential war jobs was expanded to include transportation equipment and military textiles to guide draft boards. McNutt said curtailment of war production and farm crops was prevented despite labor shortages and that agencies sometimes hoard or pirate workers, though cooperation to reduce such practices is increasing.
