was admitted by Samuel S. Fels, a member
Of District Appeal Hoard No 1. Today lie
Visited Appeal Hoard No. 2 for tho purpose)
f learning how th-it board Is solving ex
emption problems.
"It will be neccsyary," ho said, "for the
two boards to Ret together and establish a
few definite rules. It Is true that eae.li
xemptlon claim must be tre.ited separately
and decided upon Its merits, but It Is alto
true that there can be uniformity In regard
to the work."
ASKS INDUSTIUAL F.XLMPTION
Bringing a message direct from (lenernl
Pershing, commandar of the American
forces In France, W A. Garrett, represent
ing the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Rem
ington Arms Company and Held) stone Am
i munition Company, today appeared before
, Philadelphia District Appcat Hoard, No. 2,
and urged that 7800 men employed In those
planti should be exempted from bcrvlce In
the new national army,
"I have Just returned from a seven weeks'
Visit to France," said Garrett, "and am In
a, position to state, and with nuthortty,
too, that the need for locomotives, rifles
, and shells In France Is far more Imperative
than the need of men. 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.
CAXXOT UK P.KPLACHD
"At the Baldwin Locomotive plant," said
Garrett, "we have 6300 men who cannot
be replaced; at the Remington Arms plant
we have 1200 and nt the i:ddstone Am
munition plant we. have 300 We ask that
these men be excluded from the draft In
order that they can furnish the supplies
that are needed."
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.
The board reached no decision, but made
no secret of the fact that It was lmnrcssed
, slth the argment made by Garrett.
