or to private employers engaged in occupations of the character above
mentioned, and who accept the services of such persons, for a period which
shall not in the case of any person exceed six continuous months at any
one time. Persons so assigned must in every case be physically able to
perform the work to which they are assigned. As soon as the proclamation
has been issued, as herein provided, it shall be the duty of the Governor
to prepare and publish such rules and regulations governing the assignment
of persons to work under this sub-title as will assure that all persons
similarly circumstanced shall, as far as it is possible to do so, be treated
alike. In fixing the period of work to which anyone is assigned, and in-
determining its nature, the Governor shall take into consideration the age,
physical condition and any other appropriate circumstances of the person
so assigned. The rules and regulations adopted under the provisions of this
sub-title shall make allowances for such facts and circumstances. Any such
person failing or refusing to do or to continue to do the work assigned to
him, and who, in the meanwhile, has not become regularly or continuously
employed in some business, occupation, trade or profession, shall, upon
conviction before any Justice of the Peace having criminal jurisdiction, be
fined not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00), or be imprisoned not
more than six months, or be both fined and imprisoned, in the discretion
of the Court or Justice.

60. After the issuance of the proclamation hereinbefore provided for,
it shall be the duty of the Sheriffs of the respective counties and of the
Police Department of Baltimore City, and of any other officer, State,
county or municipal, charged with enforcing the law, to seek and to con-
tinue to seek diligently the names and places of residence of able-bodied
male persons within their respective jurisdictions, between the ages afore-
said, not regularly or continuously employed as aforesaid, who have failed
to register as aforesaid, and to obtain warrants for their arrest from any
Justice of the Peace having criminal jurisdiction, failure of such persons
to register shall be a misdemeanor and shall be punishable by a fine not
exceeding fifty dollars ($50.00). The names of all those convicted before
any Justice of the Peace of failing to register, together with all other
information as aforesaid, shall be sent by the Justices of the Peace to the
Clerks of the Circuit Courts of the Counties or the Clerk of the Superior
Court of Baltimore City, as the case may be. The said Clerks shall register
as aforesaid all persons convicted of failing to register, and report such
registrations to the Governor as hereinbefore provided. The Governor shall
thereupon assign such persons to work as provided in Section 58.
