WASHINGTON, April 2g-Congress
will go 10 work tomorrow to smooth
away differences between the drafts
of the war army bill as passed last
hlBht by the senate and house. With
the administration plan OF raising
the Country's million Of fighting men
by selectiVe draft accompanied in both
houses by overwhelming majorities, II
Is regarded as certain that points in
dispute can be disposed OF in confer
ence so the measure may go to the
president for his signature before the
end of the week
The preliminary tanCle resulting
from the almost simultaneous action
by the two houses requires tn. next
move to be made on the senate side.
The bill must be repassed there with
unlimited opportunity under strict in
depreciation OF the rules for further
debate and amendment II then will
go to conference, with the principal
task that of harmonizing the two
houses on the maximum conscription
age fixed by the senate at ~ and by
the house at 40 years
Amendments May Decay IL.
After preliminary business tomor-
row. probably including some action
on resolutions regarding the railroads
application for increased freight rates,
the senate will take up the bin anew,
with "A motion to substitute the draft
section as passed by the senate for
that which came from the house.
Technically the bill will be subject to
unrestricted discussion practically.
Leaders hope ii can be repassed with
out protracted debate by tomorrow
night or Tuesday.
Senators LaFollette, Gronna and
others who failed 10 have amendments
considered Saturday night, being shut
out by the agreement TO vote before
midnight, present the uncertain factor
regarding speeding the measure to
conference. Senator LaFollette threat
ems to block future consent voting
agreements and To press his amend
ment for popular referendum on
conscription. Senator Gronha has an
amendment to prohibit manufacture Of
grains into liquor curing the war. Sem
ator Chamberlain, chairman of the
military committee, expressed hope to-
night however, that the senate's fur
ther consideration will be BRIEF. He
said he was confident the anti-con-
scription advocates would not renew
their fight.
Clashes Over Age Limit.
In conference the chief clashes will
arise over the conscription age, the
senate's decisive approval and the
houses rejection of the provision de-
signed to permit Colonel Roosevelt to
recruit volunteer force for i'm
mediate service abroad, and the senate
clause prohibiting liquor sales near
training cainps and to uniformed
soldiers. Sentiment in the senate is
overwhelming against conscripting
men over 30 years. House members
are regarded AS equally determined to
accept nothing less than 40-year
maximum.
Upon disposng Of the army bill.
senate leaders plan to resume con-
sderation of the administrator
espionage measure, with interest cen
tered on its presidential export en-
barge provision.
Food Supply II Problem.
Many other food questions are be-
fore both houses and the administra-
ton bills to deal with various food
supply questions may be introduced in
