Misbranding attack on work or fight draft proposal
The Senate committee amendments to the new selective draft bill reinforce the work or fight rule giving War Department broad control over labor of 13 million registrants and 10 million already registered. It mandates that exempted or deferred workers must continue in their chosen occupation or face re-draft, effectively conscripting labor. The policy preserves presidential discretion but makes refusal to work in essential industry subject to draft, raising questions about frankness and labeling.
