Austin Defends Draft Act Against Strike Use
Senator Waren R. Austin of Vermont warned against using the National Selective Service Act to curb a strike. He said such use would pervert the act and contradict Congress’s intent of mobilization on a fair basis. President Roosevelt noted occupational deferments end when the work stops, and each case must be decided locally. Austin blamed the coal crisis on not adopting his national service bill and said it would assign military and civilian personnel to the war effort with penalties for defiance.
