Portland, Or. April 25.-Federal
supervision OF the handling of food Is
now ia effect The American Can
company announced from its Portland
office this morning that il would be
unable hereafter to supply packers with
tins for certain kinds of vegetables be-
cause Of restrictions made by the gov

only the metal, but also food stuffs.
The principal item TO be affected by
the new ruling will be pork and beans

nouneement, this stock will soon dis.
appear completely from the market.
Sauergraut and hominy in cans also
are affected. Local packers today

still be put up, but because of the fact
that most sauergraut packed in barrels

FIGHT in LOWER HOUSE
AGAINST IT IS BITTER
Speaker Clark and House
Leader Kitchin VIII Speak
Against 1t
By j. P. YOder

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, April 25.-The crest Of
the wave of opposition TO the govern
ment's selective eonscription plan for
raising the nation s army was reached
in congress today when Speaker Champ
Clark denounced the plan.
Volunteering, declared Clark, is tho
only way in which republic should
raise its armies. Clark, who had oppos-
ed Wilson but twice on issues, solemn
ly declared he would ''follow the pres
ident when he believed the president
right. y
"Further than that, - said the speak
er deliberately, ~ will not go, so help
me Godin
Even conscriptionists joined in the
wild tribute Clark's homely phrases
| brought forth.
| Adding his influence to onslaughts
on conscription, Speaker Clark this
afternoon formally announced in
speech from the floor that he would
vote for the Dent bill to try out the
volunteer system first in raising an
Iarmy.
1.-TWO things are true beyond shad-
low of doubt, T" Clark said For a.
member of congress to differ with the
president is not pleasant. On the con-
trary it is painful, especially when tho
, president is one whom you have hefn-
cd elect,
Congress forces fighting against u
drafted army, took new lease on life
when Clark joined their ranks,
For but the second time in the long
five years since he was defeated for
the democratic nomination by Wilson.
the speaker took the floor against the
president The other was on free tolls.
AS he began his defense of the
good, old fashioned way of raising ar
, miles, it was more than evident his
stand will solidify much wavering sen.
' timent against the draft.
Administration leaders at the same
time frightened the reins of their con-
troll and stated they were still confi-
. dent of a positive expression from q
majority when voting time comes
probably tomorrow
"The president is the most powerful
Iicrsonagc in the world because he is
the head Of l00,000,000 free people,
1 Clark continued "IIe has his functions
to perform. The house and senate have
their functions to perform.
"When member of congress has
s thoroughly and conscientiously studied
f question with open mind; and with
q all the lights available and has form
y, ed conclusion, he should vote thai
y conclusion even though it runs countei
&c to the desire Of the president lf he
does not do that he is unfit to sit il
. the house or senate.
y !, ~ regret exceedingly that I cannot
y agree with the president and his ad
!. visers on everything in this bill :"
y Clark reviewed the history of thu
y volunteer system and declared it TIN
~ best way to raise an army.
~ Clark spoke with great deliberatiol
'd and emphasis. He was many times in
er terrupted by tumultous handelappint
lg while his several oratorical elimaxe
provoked wild cheers.
