2. Procedure for an Employer Having No Direct Government Contracts, but Having Indirect Contracts, to Follow in Order to Secure Deferred Classification for a Necessary Employee. The procedure to follow is exactly the same as described above, except that instead of filing the affidavit mentioned in sub-paragraph (d) above, you should file an affidavit stating that you have no direct Government contracts, but are furnishing material or equipment to concerns which have direct Government contracts; and then you must also obtain and submit affidavits from your customers which have the direct Government contracts, and these should be scheduled as shown above in sub-paragraph (d). 3. Procedure for an Employer Having Direct Government Contracts to Follow in Order to Secure Indefinite Furlough for a Necessary Skilled Employee Who Has Been Drafted. (a) If, through no fault of the employer or employee, a necessary SKILLED man is drafted and sent to camp, there is still an opportunity to secure the return of such a man to necessary industry. You should instantly apply for information regarding indefinite furloughs, and for the proper blanks on which to make formal application for furlough, to the Department of the Government with which you have contracts. Full regulations will be sent you. In the meantime, find out the name of the camp to which the man has been sent, and the designation of his company and regiment. (b) The department concerned will forward you application blanks for "the return of enlisted man to industry," and will also send full information as to exactly how these blanks should be made out. When they are completely made out, according to instructions, they must NOT be sent to any draft board, NOR to the office of the Provost Marshal General, but must always be sent to the department from which your contracts originated. The Departments of the Government at present organized to obtain indefinite furloughs for enlisted men are the Department of Labor, Navy Department, Food Administration, Fuel Administration, Bureau of Explosives, Bureau of Standards, Railroad Administration, Capital Issues Committee, Emergency Fleet Corporation and the following Departments of the War Department-Bureau of Aircraft Production, Division of Military Aeronautics, Chemical Warfare Service, Signal Corps, Surgeon General's Department, Motor Transport Corps, Ordnance Department, General Engineering Depot, Construction Division, and Quartermaster Corps. Submit your request to the nearest district or zone office of the proper department, or, if you are uncertain as to its location, to the headquarters of the department itself at Washington, D. C. If you have a Government contract, but it is not with any one of these organizations, submit your request to the War Industries Board, Washington, D. C. (c) The application, if favorably acted upon, will result in the enlisted man being sent back to industry on indefinite furlough, and the employer will be furnished with complete information as to how the man is to be treated while so employed. 4. Procedure for an Employer Having no Direct Government Contracts, but Having Indirect Government Contracts to Follow in Order to Secure Indefinite Furlough for a Necessary Skilled Employee. Follow the same procedure as described above; first discovering with what Department of the Government your customers have their contracts and making your request for information and application blanks to that Department. 5. Information. For further information as to deferred classification, apply to your District Board. For further information as to individual furloughs, apply to Darragh de Lancey, Room 253, SWN. Bldg., Washington, D. C. APPENDIX A SELECTIVE SERVICE REGULATIONS. Definition of "Necessary" as to Enterprise. RULE XVII. The word "necessary" as applied to any industrial or agricultural enterprise within the meaning of these regulations shall be taken to import that the discontinuance, the serious interruption, or the materially reduced production of such enterprise will result in substantial, material loss and detriment to the adequate and effective maintenance of the Military Establishment, the adequate and effective operation of the military forces, or the maintenance of the national interest during the emergency. A particular agricultural or industrial enterprise shall be found to be "necessary" only when it is shown of such enterprise that it is a well-conducted and going concern, contributing substantially and materially to the maintenance of the Military Establishment, the effective operation of the military forces, or the maintenance of the national interest during the emergency; and, further, of a particular agricultural enterprise; that it is apparently producing an appreciable amount of agricultural produce over and above what is necessary for the maintenance of those living on the place.
