SHIP AND ARMS MAKERS
WANT MEN EXEMPTED
Will Try to Have All Employes
Freed From Service in First
Draft Army
Makers of ships and war supplies nmeie
plans today to get exemptions for employes
who will be called for tho first national
army They had not nscertalncd tho num
ber of men who may have to appear be
fore exempt Irm boards as a result of yes
tcrelay's lottery. Thero will bo few esti
mates of tho.so ilgures until next week, It
was said.
Some executives of munitions plants and
shlpjards wero Indignant bc('nti-o tho men
had not leen exempted ns a cIiibs. The diaft
j emulations say that men claiming exemp
tion on occupational grounds must ilia
with their own allfdavlts making tho claim,
nn nflldnvit from tho company they work
for, declaring their work is Indlspensible.
"Wo havo no Idea yet how many men
have been drawn In the early numbers, but
wo will find out as soon as possible." said
an ofllclal of t;ie New York Shipbuilding
Company. "Wo will have to make un Indi
vidual claim in every iae, it seems, be
cause thero Is no class exemption.
"It In all rot to take nny chairos that
men needed In Industry may bo called out
to be shot nt.
"Tho company will certainly mako every
effort to keep tho men here, because green
hands cannot do work for tho Government.
Plans will bo worked out next week,"
At tho llemlngton Arms plant In Hddy
stone thero Is' no completed plan ready to
obtain exemptions.
. "As far ns I know tlicy'ro going to take
every one," said one olllclal. "At least
they want to take every 0110 not Indispen
sable. "Now, It may bo hard to show that each
Individual man Is himself Indispensable, bo
causo few men arc ; but, taken in (lie mass,
they are all Indispensable."
Cramp's shipyard has notified nil men In
tho draft ago to seo tho Huperlntendent for
Instructions about getting exempted Tho
men will be told to nsk for exemptions and
tlio company will take whatever steps nto
necessary to rid tho men of tho draft grip.
The Heldystono Ammunition Corporation
had matlo no definite plans about exemptions.
