Berger gathered strength enough yes

Berger was murdered almost exact

only Thursday Robert Adams, a long
shoreman, lost his life when he rolled
into the river from the jungled bank
where he had been sleeping with
scores of other men.

So years of age, said that ne had been

In reply to the offer of conciiation.
Mr.. McAfeo said that the representa-
tives of the strikers not only declared
they would insist on the complete
grant of their original demands with
out arbitration, but that they further
insist that the scale they demand be
applied to the entire jurisdiction of

The Arbitration Offer.
J. The offer. according to Mr.. McAfcc.
was this: The company will recognize
the girls union permanently and in
! addition will give them a scale of pay
/ approximately 10 per cent higher than
! that which they now receive. This
| scale is to be in effect until August I.
In the interval the difference between
the scale demanded by the girls and
that offered by the company will be
arbtrated. The offer was considered
fair by the members of the executive
committee of the Trades and Labor
council.

think is n just proposal" said Mr..

Clark's Partner Found.
Officer Moore became suspicious OF

Jury Wheel in Washington
Will Contain Complete
Set of Numbers.
WITH EACH DRAWING
10000 ARE DRAFTED
Indications Are Conscripting
Will Be Started Early
Coming Week.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, July 6.-Selection day
for the new national army is ap-
proaching rapidly as the local exemp-
tion boards in the various states COM
p!etc their organization. give serial
numbers to the registration cards and
forward certified copies to Provost
Marshal General Crowder. Indications
are that the drawing will be held next
week, but no official statement has
been made.
Administration officials still main
tain strict silence as to the method 10
be followed. With the recent state
ment by Secretary Baker that the
drawing would be held in Washington,
however. coupled with the stress laid
upon the serial numbering Of regis
tiation cards, the general outline OF
the pIan is clearly indicated.
One Number to Draft 10000.
1t is understood that it is proposed
to place in single jury wheel in
Washington one complete set of num-
bers. When q number is taken from the
wheel, the man is each exemption dis
trict whose card bears that serial num-
Der will be drafted. Thus as each
number Is drawn, approximately 3O,-
COO men will be drafted, or one in each
exemption district. II 100000 men
are to be called before the exemption
boards in the first selection, which
seems highly probable, only 40 num-
bers would need to be drawn.
Many Complications.
There are numerous complications
which must arise, however, and the
method of solving them can be known
only when the administration makes
known its plans. For instance, the
number of registered individuals in
each district who are liable for MILL
tary service will certainly not be the
same. Aliens are registered, but not
liable for duty.
All this must be considered in franz
ing the regulations. Provision must
be made, also, to balance as far as
possible the chances Of military duty
between the men in each district so
that disqualification of large number
in any particular district for any rea-
son will not put upon those qualified
additional likelihood of being sent to
tho front.
Must Provide Reserves.
While the first contingent of the
new army under the bill Is limited to
100000 men, an additional 125,OOO or
100000 will be needed to make up the
reserve battalions of this force. Re-
serve battalions are now being re-
cruited for all regular regiments and
will be recruited for the national guard
when it is drafted into the federal
service. The organization of the ma
tional army will be on the same basis
1t may be necessary. also. to draft
enough men to fill up the regulars and
national guard to war strength, al
though no decision to this end has
been reached as yet. The regulars arc
now close to war strength and the
guard units are recruiting rapidly. II
possible they will be completed by the
war volunteer system.
There is one other consideration
which will affect the total number OF
men to be drawn. Opinion varies as
to the number Of exemptions which
