CLASS EXEMPTIONS ]. NOT TO BE ALLOWED
Married Men Must Also Prove
 They Have Dependents

Washington, June 25.-There will be no sweeping class exemptions from the national service draft. This much is made certain by officials here who have been connected with the registration and the preparation of regulations under which the million man army will be conscripted for service and the exemptions that will be in force in selecting the 625, 900 men from the first call.
 Unfortunately rumors have gone the rounds that because certain mon are engaged in agricultural or indus trial pursuits, or because they are married, they will be exempted. From those high in authority it is learned that the president will make no such sweeping exemptions In the regula- tions which he Is considering.
 Members of the clergy and state and Federal officers, however, will be exempted from the first call unless they desire to be taken for service. Even then they will be compelled to pass an examination at the hands of the local exemptions board to see whether they can be spared from their present occupation.
 A number of stories have come to the attention of draft officials that because of the apparent shortage of men engaged In certain occupations. that class of men would not be counted in the draft. Among these is the report that no men engaged in the banking business would be called. This report is untrue. Bankers. farmers and other classes, with the general exception of clergy. soldiers and public omcials. are equally liable to service.
 All matters of class exemptions will be governed primarily by the communities in which they exist and will be passed upon by boards of re- view.
 In passing upon the liability of married men for service, the boards of review will take into account the dependency of the wife and family upon him. In cases where the gov ernment is convinced that the family of any man called for service would thereby be thrown upon the charity of Uncle Sam for support. the prob abilities are that the. man will be exempted. But 8 true dependence must be shown.
 One. of the presidents reasons for refusing to create widespread ex- emptions in any given occupation is to prevent "slackers'' from deserting their present employment and seeking

Passenger trains of the Lehigh Valley,
wilkes Barre and Hazleton and Central
Railroad OF New Jersey are stalled in the
mountains between Hazeton and Wilkes
Barre as n result of a cloudburst last night
which ripped out hundreds OF feet OF rails
and tore up the roads, washed out the state
roads. knocked down trees and flooded the
tunnels. Passengers of these trains either
spent the night In the cars or made their
way as they could over swollen streams In
the mountains to farmhouses
Early this morning Lehigh Valley trains
from NeW York came TO Wilkes-Barre by
way of the D., l.. and " TO phillpsburg or
by way of the Pennsylvania through IIazle-

parties were lost In the woods Searching
parties have been organized and are hur-

DYESTUFFS INDUSTRY
SHOWS GREAT GROWTH
Development Has Been Phenom-
enal Since Supply From
Germany Ceased
EXPORTS JUMP 100 p. c..
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1s

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1e.
Phenomenal development in the New
American dyestuffs industry. founded only
since the outbreak of the European war,
and general movement among the new
aye companies to resolve themselves into
Few highly efficient combinations are re-
ported by the Department OF Commerce to-
day. Although there was virtually no dive
industry In this country when the war
brought about an acute shortage In Ger
man dyes the short space which has inter-
Nened has been sufficient for this new busi-
ness to follow the trend of all big business
IN this country and concentrate.
An increasing tendency is shown in the
industry TO an amalgamation of interests
among certain plants making crudes and
intermediates with others producing finished
dyestuffs,' says the report. This report
does not regard the new dye combinations
as sinister but declares the new dye trusts
will probably result in more extended
variety of colors at u decreasing cost Of
production The Government will keep in
touch with the new dye combinations with
"a view TO having knowledge of existence Of
combination in restraint of trade. The de-
partment's report sets forth that the new
dye combinations are pooling their market
ing interests. The movement already has
gone so far that the amalgamations include
the most important plants in the country.
Many of the corporations have branches in
principal American cities and some even in
London, Paris and Shanghai
The incorporated dye companies have in
vested capital to the extent OF Sl63.O25. $50
! In the business and plan expansion. These
| iigureS do not include uuincorporatcd dye
companies. The report says that IL the
capital investment of these concerns were
| included, the total invested in the industry
| would run above $500 900.
The departments report says that produc-
| ton of liquid products by these companies
| Tor the current year amounts to l,240,35O
| gallons and of substance, 29,7S5,700 pounds
Manufacturers Of Intermediates are putting
out from 100000 to 1000, 900 pounds a
| month each. ColormakcrS are producing
at the rate of 5000, 600 pounds a month
| the report says.
Exports Of dyes for the fiscal year end
| ing June 30, 1916. amounted to $5.1O2, ,0O2
! whiIe Tor the succeeding year the export.
Jumped TO Sl1,71O.SS7. an Increase of more
than 100 per cent.
