Senate May Resort
 to CIOture Rule
DURING DEBATE ON THE FOOD
 BILL
Y TO HASTEN ACTION
Final Disposition of the Prohibition Section Probably Will be Made To- day-Passage of Bill Next Week is Deemed Assured.

Washington, July 5.-Wfth a resort to the cloture rule threatened, the sen ate by unanimous consent late today agreed to begin consideration of the prohibition section and of any amend ments or substitutes of the food bill at o'clock tomorrow afternoon with debate limited.
 42 Senators Signed Croture Measure.
 Final disposition of the prohibition issue before adjournment tomorrow night and passage of the bill next week is deemed assured. Senator Chamberlain announced that Saturday he would seek another unanimous con- sent agreement for a final vote not later than Wednesday or Thursday and believed it would be obtained without using the cloture motion. Forty-two senators have signed the cloture measure, which required only fifteen signatures.
 'Ten Minute Limit.
 When the prohibition question is taken up tomorrow the time of each senator speaking will be limited to ten minutes upon the Gore prohibition amendment prohibiting manufacture of distilled beverages during the war and giving the president authority to suspend manufacture of malt, fer mented and vinous intoxicants and to limit their alcoholic content. Upon amendments and substitutes for the Gore plan, each senator's debate will be limited to five minutes.
 Vote Late This Afternoon.
 The "wets" tonight planned 10 use little time in discussion and it was believed the voting would begin dur ing the late afternoon.
 All the formal steps for a, decisive and spirited struggle on prohibition have been taken. Senator Robinson introduced today the so-called "ad- ministration comprise" substitute for the Gore plan, providing only that distillation Of foodstuffs for intoxi- eating bevera ges shall cease.
 What Private Polls Indicate.
 Private polls of the senate, leaders of both factions admitted privately tonight, indicate a large majority for the Robinson substitute. It was drawn by Senator Martin, democratic leader, and is identical with that originally offered by Senator Chamberlain and rejected by the senate agriculture committee in favor of the Gore amendment.
 After agreeing to proceed with the liquor fight tomorrow the senate late today turned to a section greatly ex- tending the governments power to purchase and sell supplies to secure reasonable prices. Under the amend ment, in addition to foods. feed and fuel, the government would be au- thorized to buy and sell at minimum prices fixed by the federal authorities all other "necessaries" named in the bill
 Coal Will Figure in Discussion.
 Before final passage of the bill a determined effort will be made to broaden it so as to insure that the government will have power to resu- late coal prices and to take over and operate coal mines. Many leaders be- lieVe, however, that some of the inc ceSSaries" now included in the bill for governmental regulation, such a s cot ton, wool, iron and steel and other products will be eliminated and left for future legislation.

LABOR UNIONS NOT
 RESPONSIBLE FOR RIOTS
Denial Made by Frank Morrison, Sec
 raEary Of A. F. of L.


 Washington, July 5.-Charges that labor uniHTs were responsible for the East St. , tuis race riots drew an em- phatic dental today from Frank Nor rison, secretary of the American Fed eration of Labor, who, in the absence of President Gompers, issued a for nal statement on the subject.
 MT. Morrison made public a tele- gram received today from Victor Olander, secretary treasurer of the Illinois Federation of Labor, which has been forwarded as the American Federation of Labor's reply to a mes sage from the Boston branch of the Equal Rights League. The telegram follows:
 Press despatches aIlege Negro Equal Rights League of Boston has telegraphed to you charging trade unionists with responsibility for East St. Louis riots. Any such charge is viciouslv untrue. It Esas the East St Louis Central Labor Council, having negroes in membership, that request ed the investigations by the state council of defense following the dis orders in May. That investigation showed that southern negroes had been misled by false advertisements and interruptions employment agents to come to East St. Louis in such numbers that they could not secure either work or decent living quarters
 The effect was to make acute the explorations of labor. both negro and white. and to seriously disarrange so- cial as well as economic conditions and to arouse bitterness on all sides

With the Russians holding their gains in Galicia against Austro Ger man attacks. the indications of strong CT activity in the other war thea tres are multiplying.
 On the western front the British have advanced and the French artil- lery is active from north of the Aisne to the Meuse the artillery activity has increased on the entire Austro- -Ita- ia n front, there has been greater local activity in Rumania and on the Macedonian front the Germans have taken the offensive on a small sector.
 Around BrzeZany and near Lipntc AdoIna, on the Narayuvl1a north of Brzezany, the Austro-Germans have attacked the Russians in attempts to regain the territory lost early in the week. These efforts against Russian advanced posts east of Brzezany were checked by the Russian artillery fire and two attacks near Lipnic Adolna were broken up.
 Farther south along the Hungarian Rumanian border and in Rumania, where there has been no violent fight ing sence the cessa tion of Field Mar shaI von Mackenscn's drive last fall, greater activity is reported. There have been reports recently that the

SHIPBUILDERs ARE NOT
 WORRIED BY STRIKE
Claim They Could Get More Men if
 They Needed Them.

New York July ,. = Leaders of striking machinists in six New York and New Jersey shipyards claimed tonight that nearly 5000 men were already out and if the employers did not meet the demand of the men for a minimum wage of S4.50 a day the number would be increased to 10, ,000 tomorrow. Employers, on the other hand, minimized the extent of the strike and said they could get more men if they needed them.
 An executive meeting of the marine trades council was held today and of ficiaIs were responsible for the state ment that final plans had been made by the council to call out the men not later than tomorrow if the shipyards failed to settle with their employees.
 E. T. Dearing, business agent of the machinists' union. said four yards all ready had granted the demand, but Henry c. Hunter. attorney for the National Metal Trades Association, with which the shipyards are affiliat- ed. was quoted as saying that while the companies do not want to dis criminate against the machinisS5, they have decided to follow out the origi- nal policy of dealing directly with the men and not with the unions or their representatives"

RUSSIANS WILL COMPLETE
 ESTABLISHMENT OF REPUBLIC
Opinion of c. E. Russell, Mennber of
 American Mission.

Petrograd. July 5.-The Russian people will fulfill their task of estab- fishing a republic, in the opinion of Charles Edward Russell. a member of the American mission to Russia MT. Russell today issued the following statement on the observations he has made here since his arrival some weeks ago.
 T venture to appea! to my fellow democrats in the United States and Great Britain for a more sympathetic attitude toward the struggling demo- cracy of Russia I appeal to editors not to print wild eyed stories of inn pending ruin and chaos and to news paper readers not to believe such stories if printed
 There is no anarchy here. There is only a limited amount of disorder. The people of Russia under the most trying conditions In history have given an example of dignity and self restraint.
 Tt is we'll to face the facts frank y. but it is also well to look beyond surface conditions to the true basis of Russian development. Every phase of the present situation is a logical and normal outcome of natural causes. The substance is sound and hopeful if only other democracies give help whoie-heartedly instead of standing bp to prophecy destruction.
 These people know their job and will do it. I suggest it is about time to do away with all criticism and give them a chance"

CONFERENCE ON METHOD
 OF SELECTION FOB DRAFT

 Marshal General Crowder.

Washington, July Arrangements for the next step toward mobilization of the new national army-the exer- else of the selection for draft-wcre taken up tonight at a conference be- tween Secretary Baker and Provost MarshaI-general ;Crowder.
 Mir. Baker said later he had no an- nouncement to make as to the date of the drawing. It has been an- held in Washington and It is expected statement covering the method to be followed will be made tomorrow or next day.
 Organization of the local and dis trict exemption boards, the arrange nnent of the registration lists in serial numbers and other preliminary work must be completed before the selec- t1on machinery can be set in mo- tion. A statement by the public in formation committee says this moy be done by Saturday.
 Reports current today that selec- tions already had been made prob ably aross from the fact that many boards have numbered their regisrra- ton cards and in some cases. proba- ply, already are publishing the lists as required by regulations. The last district will have to complete this work, however, before selection can begin. as the administration is de- termined to leave no loophoie for jug giing of the serial numbers. l. is for that reason thai public posting. of the lists and the filing of duplicate copies with the provost marsal- general has been required in advance of selection.
 The care with which the mum bering of the registration cards Is being car ried out make it certain that the drawing will be based entirely upon the numbers. No names will be in volved in the actual process of selec- ton which will closely approximate, it Is understood, the jury wheel sys- tenn
 District No. 2 and District No 32. both of Philadelphia. are rivals for the honor of being the first to send, to the provost marshall general, today :n the same mail, their complete reg istration lists.
