Pershing's Draft Bill for Workers Favored

President Wilson is empowered in a bill reported favorably last week by the Senate military affairs committee, to reach into any class of drafted men to get skilled workers needed for military labor. The fact that a man has been placed, by reason of marriage, dependents, physical condition or other cause in a a so-called deferred class, will not save him. General Pershing demanded the measure to supply quickly the necessary army of accompanying mechanics. The measure will be brought before the Senate for speedy action.
