a couple people asked me to post a larger pic of the article with content about the "Work or Fight" edict....it's very interesting.

In May 1918, the Selective Service Division issued a "Work or Fight" edict. Able-bodied men, including major-league ballplayers, had either to work in an essential industry or face the draft.
