KEMP TONS FOR BUSINESS REASON
 SHOULD BE FEW

Washington, August Livery precau- ton should be taken by district exemp- tion boards, the appeal bodies, to pre- vent discharge of men from the draft on sole grounds of material hardship to them individually or to their employers, said circular on the duty of district boards issued today by Provost Mar shal General Crowder
 It is the interest of the nation solely that must be subserved," said General Crowder adding that consequently in- dustrial exemptions should be granted only to men absolutely essential to the conduct of business which itself is es- sential to proper prosecution of the war District boards have original Jurisdiction in all cases of industrial exemptions.
 All cases of discharge by local boards on grounds of dependency are to be ap- pealed automatically to the district board, General Crowder said, and each case should be scanned carefully, though not necessarily reopened for hearing. For each local board an official will be appointed to act as a government challenger against men whom he believes discharged with out adequate cause. Bremen, policemen and students in technical schools are not to be discharged under industrial exemp- ton regulations.

COMMITTEE AGREES
 ON FOOD CONTROL BILL IN CONF ERENCE:
President Wins His Point as to Supervision of War Expenditures and One
 Man Board

Washington, August 1.-The adminis- tration food control bill, stripped of the features opposed by President Wilson, was reported out of conference today, just one month after the date the Pres- dent had hoped to see 1t enacted into law.
 Enactment sometime next week now is predicted House conferees will make their report tomorrow and favorable ac- tion probably will be taken on it Friday. Senate approval probably will follow early next week, although extended de- bate is expected in the Senate owing to elimination of Senate amendments which would have provided for a congressional war expenditures committee and three-member food control board.
 The weeks deadlock in conference was broken by Senator Warren of Wyoming, republican, in agreeing to vote with the democrats to strike out the war expen- ditures committee amendment, partic- ularly objectionable to the President.
 Senator Warren is understood to have been influenced by tacit understanding that the Senate rules committee will re- port favorably and as separate meas ure resolution to proVlde TOT q Jolnt congressional committee on the conduct of the war. introduced by Senator Weeks of Massachusetts Administra- ton leaders will wake a bitter fight against it.
 Conferees from each house tonight de- elared they had emerged from confer ence victorious. The result resembled al draw. The Senate conferees sacrificed their war expenditures committee and the three-menlber food control board amendments, while the House conferees accepted greatly restrictd price fixing and control provisions, g. s2 minimum for wheat and less drastic prohibition sec tion. Under the latter the manufacture of distilled liquors would be prohibited and the President given power to limit manufacture of light wines and beers, 1f necessary, and to commander for mllt- tary or other public purposes such dis titled liquors in or out of bond as he may deem advisable.
 Steps to finally enact the first admin istration food bill, proposing a national food survey and containing provisions to stimulate production, were taken imme- diateIy after agreement on the control legislation Tlpe conferees agreed toI meet tomorrow, when it is expected their differences will be promptly adjusted.

The proposed amendment as enacted by the Senate this afternoon if en- acted by the House will remain pend- ing for six years. If in that time it is not ratified by three fourths of the states 1t becomes. null and void. Sem ator Sheppard, following the passage of the amendment, expressed the be- lief that the House would respond oven more agilely than the Senate and that within the time limit the amendment would be ratified and in corporated. in the constitution.
 The immediate effect of the resolu- ton, it is pointed out by leaders in Congress, will be to revive the pro- hibition question in every state of the union. even in those where now the issue is dead or sleeping. Alabamians in Washington believe that next veal there will be an acrimonious cam paign for the election of a governor other state officers and members of the legislature in Alabama, and that the prohibition question in that cam paign will continue to overshadow all others, even those involving patriot. ism.
 The ratification of the proposed amendment could be achieved by simple majority in each of the houses of legislature. Should the legislature of Alabama. when next it meets, ratify the proposed amendment that ratifi cation. would remain effective for period of six years.
 On the other hand. should the leg islature in it's next session reject the proposed amendment. that rejection would remain effective only until the succeeding session of the legislature. Tn other words. should the Alabama legislature in it's next session reject the proposed amendment the prohibi- tionists before the expiration of the six years period of grace would have another chance to carry their point. The result in Alabama, In the opinion of Alabamians in Washington, will be chiefly dependent on the nature of the campaign. It is taken for granted that there will be no extra session of the present Alabama legislature.
