Replacement important factor in draft rules
War Man power Commission aims to place draft-age men into war production or the Army via replacement schedules. A Selective Service memorandum stresses deferments for those deemed necessary in war effort, detailing criteria for replaceability and possible shifts between deferment groups. Local boards may reclassify registrants but temporary idleness and certain non-deferrable cases are permitted after registration with the U.S. employment service. A railwayman in Ontario was killed after stepping into a Buffalo-bound freight train near Stevensville Crossing.

No Need for Coal Rationing Says Industry Director
Harry M. Vawter director of the Bituminous Coal Institute announced there is no current need to ration bituminous coal for industrial or domestic use. He warned only a protracted mine stoppage could prevent meeting the government set production goal of 600 million tons for this year. Chester Bowles said no new rationing programs were planned, aside from possible coal measures. The War Labor Board approved a 48 hour week for mines, which could raise 1943 coal output by about 50 million tons, enough to heat eight million homes.

Ickes Concedes 48-Hour Week Raises Coal Prices
Secretary of the Interior Ickes said a 48 hour work week in mines will force higher coal prices as the Office of Price Administration studies the extent. Miners would gain about nine dollars more weekly on time and a half pay, while overall production lags threaten shortages. War Labor Board and Byrnes linked the move to fuel mobilization with efforts to curb labor turnover at mines.
