Compulsion to Work Urged by Governor in Draft Plan
Governor Harding pushes conscription labor to mobilize idle men from pool halls for work next year. He argues trenches in France cannot process all youths quickly, and loafers of any age must face compulsory employment. The plan would link income and military service laws to force men into useful jobs and family support.
