Registration is compulsory, however. and punishment is provided for failure to register or for anyone employing a person who has not registered. Registration is being carried out in three days throughout the country, although special arrangements are made for the listing of men away from their homes. It may be weeks or even months before some prospectors, trappers and lumberman dan place their names on the lists.
By special arrangement, manufacturing plants and other business houses with more than 100 employees were able to register all their workmen before general registration started. This simplified the work of registration in industrial centers such as Toronto, Hamilton Montreal, Winnipeg, and Vancouver. Similarly government employees were registered before the opening of the regular polls.
