PRESIDENTJBIVES PLAN
(Continued from First Page)
the men called will be notified by
mail.
Next the "honor men" will be sum
moned for physical examination be-
rore the local boards. One member
of each board is a physician. He is
ordered to make the examination in
the presence of another member of
the board.
To Prevent Unfairness.
In making a claim for exemption
on the ground of a dependent, the
claimant must furnish an affidavit
that the Income for the support ot
the dependent is mainly from the
fruit ot his labor and not derived
from 'property. He must bring an
other affidavit from the dependent
affirming the dependency, and an
other from a head ot a family stat
ing the same grounds.
Within three days after the affl
davits are filed the local board must
make its decision. Either an abso
lute, conditional or temporary dis
charge may be granted.
The local boards next report a list
of the men discharged and those not
discharged to the district board.
Again these names are posted and a
notice sent to each.
Must Prove Occupation.
Claims for exemption upon occupa
tional grounds must be made to the
district board within five days after
the man is notified that he is drawn
The burden of a double proof rests
upon these claimants. They must
prove that the industry in which they
are engaged is necessary and that
they are "indispensable to its sue
cessful conduct."
The regulations say claims may be
made upon these premises:
That he is actually engaged in a
particular industrial or agricultural
enterprise necessary to the malnten
ance of the military establishment
of the national interest, and that his
continuance is necessary to that in
dustry and cannot be dispensed with
or replaced without substantial ma
terial loss and detriment to that en
terprise. What Will Bring Discharge.
Each claim must be supported by
affidavits.
When, in the opinion of the board,
the loss of the man to the industry
outweighs the gain to the military es
tablishment, a certificate of discharge
will be issued.
Claims for exemption may be made
by wives, parents, children, employ
ers or any person for tun ,aan in
whom they are interested. 1
The boards are empowered to in
vestigate affidavits and claims for ex
emption with any means at their dis
posal. After the occupational claims are
passed upon the district board will
next review the appeals from lower
boards. Upon these appeals their
decision is final. When it is adverse
the man will be drafted into the ar
my. To Report Final Lists.
After all appeals are decided and
occupational claims are settled, the
district board will report its list of
eligibles to the adjutant general of
the state. These are the men that
are to be summoned to the colors in
the fall. They will De notified by
mall.
An appeal from the district board
in occupational claims to the presi
dent is provided for. But, pending
the decision of the appeal, the claim
ant may be summoned to the army.
In a later proclamation President
Wilson will create a national board
to hear the occupational appeals.
The regulations give the president
authority to determine from time to
time what general classes of indus
tries .are necessary to niaintainance
of the military establishment. These
classes will be announced by proc
lamation. The district boards are
ordered to ascertain the existing con
ditions of Industry in their districts
to aid in making equitable exemp
tions. Another Proclamation to Come,
Another proclamation to follow
within a few days will make the laws
governing the final step of the draft
assembling the men and calling
them into camps.
On any disputed decision of the
boards a majority rules. Members
are barred from taking part in any
hearing that concerns any relative
closer than a second cousin.
In case of doubt in physical exam
inations as to whether the man is un
fit, the government is given the bene
fit of the doubt and the man is cer
tified as "fit."
To guard against partiality every
case of an exemption by a lower
board is appealed automatically to
the upper tribunal. Unless new evi
dence is presented after a short time,
the higher board will affirm the de
cision. This method gives the public
in general an opportunity to present
evidence favoring or opposing the decision.
Heavy penalties are imposed for
making false statements or any eva
sion of the requirements of the regu
lations. Imprisonment for not more
than one year, without thb alterna
tive of a fine, is provided for evasion.
