CJeneral Pershing Impressed this much upon me." Garrettisald the concerns he represented are working exclusively for the Government and that to complete their contracts for locomotives, rifles and shells It will be nec essary to keep the working forces virtually Intact.

Garrett appeared before the board not for the purpose of asking for the exemption of the workers In blanket form, but rath'er to impress upon tho board members the labor problems that confront Industrial plants as a result of the draft.
