Measure Approved by Upper
Body Without Dissent
ing Vote.
HAS WORK OR FIGHT CLAUSE
Amendment Nullifies Exemption Grant
ed to Essential Workers If They
Strike Without Submitting Dis
pute to Labor Board.

Washington, Aug. 29.-The man
power bill bringing within the army
draft all men from eighteen to f0xty-
five years old was passed by the SEN
ate on Tuesday, with a modified work
or-fght clause. The senate was re-
corded unanimously for the bill. All
efforts to change the age limits or to
direct separate classification of youths
under twenty-one failed, and the meas
ure now goes to conference between
the house and senate with no differ
ence for serious controversy except the
work-or-fight provision.
The only important amendment in
the senate bill is the Thomas-Reed
antistrike proposal. BY a vote Of ~
to 20 the senate rejected a motion
made by Senator Mcclellan of Tennes-
see to strike the amendment from the
bill The amendment nullifies exemp-
ton granted to essential workers If
they strike. Before adopting 1t finally,
however the senate agreed TO the pro-
viso offered by Senator Cummins of
AOHd hidhlilS TIE dLucuulicul lLktt'CAu-
tive if the strikers agree to submit
their dispute to the war labor board.
Amendments designed to restrain
the war department in any manner in
the drafting of men under twenty-one
years of age were rejected In rapid
succession. most of them without even
a roll call. The main test of strength
was on proposal by Senator Poin-
dexter of Washington to make nine
teen years the minimum draft age.
Fhis was defeated by a vote of 90
to 81.
AS the situation stands today moth
ing seems likely TO stand In the way
of the war departments intention of
fixing September 5 to Z as the date of
registration of the men made subject
to the draft under the new bill. There
is every likelihood that the measure
will be ready for President Wilson's
signature before the end of the week.

President Asks Legislation Pend
ing in Senate Be Extended
Until After January |.
DRYS' AGREE TO The DELAY
Senator Sheppard Declares Wilson
Does Not Object to Action by Con-
press, but Discussed Extending
Date of Restrictions.

Washington. Aug. 2S.-Presldent
Wilson, senate prohibition leaders de-
clared on Monday, is not opposed 10
legislation pending In the senate pro-
posing national prohibition during the
war. but has suggested that the pro-
posed time for its becoming effective
january next--be extended. Nego-
tiations to that end. 1t was said.
seemed to assure an agreement for
the passage of the bill. and also for
some extension of time to liquor IN
terests.
Later. after much cloakroom nego-
tiation. leaders said the prohibition
supporters had agreed TO fix July
next as the date when prohibition
would become effective. Although
some of the bllrs oppoasnts We're de-
manding longer extension, represent
atives of both factions said It ap-
peared probable that July ] hnauy
would DE agreed to.
Senator Sheppard of Texas, mana
ger of the prohibition bill. stated, fol-
lowing a recent conference at the
White House. that the president did
not object TO action by congress on
the legislation, but discussed extend
ing the effective date of the restric-
tions. July l. 1919. was the new date
suggested.
According TO Senator Sheppard, the
bill's opponents concede its passage
and the only question at issue now Is
the time when IL will become effective.
The new cate, It was said, would
not interfere With government revenue
collections on liquor for the fiscal year
and thus avoid redrafting the war rev.
enue bill, which is based on estimated
returns OF about $9O0,000000 from In
toxicants.

OUR MEN TO SIBERIAN FRONT.
Soldiers In Philippines Will Form
Nucleus for Expedition.

Washington, Aug. First details
Of American military aid to be sent
to Siberia for the protection Of the
rear of the Czecho-Slovak forces in
their movement westward against
Germans, Austrians and hostile fac
tions were made public to-day with
the announcement by Gen. March,
chief of staff, that Major Gen. VIM.
S. Graves will command the Ameri-
can forces, the nucleus Of which will
be two regiments Of regulars from
the Philippines. Gen. Graves now is
in command Of the Eighth division
at Camp Fremont, Cal. The regi-
ments to form the vanguard of the
American contingent, Gen. March an
nounced, will be the 27th and 31st,
neither of which is recruited to war
strength. This force will be supple
mented by troops from the United
States, the number of which has not
been revealed. The chief of staff
said, however, that the American
force would not be large one.
In announcing the selection of Gen.
Graves to command the American
forces, Gen. March took occasion to
state that SO far as he knew no COM
mander-in-chief for the whole expe-
ditton has yet been designated. He
recalled that this could only be done
by international agreement such as
was found to be necessary to concen-
trate the supreme command Of all the
entente and American troops in Eu-
rope in the hands of Gen. Foch. From
other sources it was learned that ne
gotiations are under way to this end
and that the chief Of staff of the
Japanese army, Gen. Baron Uyehara,
has been suggested and his name Is
under consideration as commander
in-chief.
No Advance Notice.
Gen. March said that the sailing of
the expedition Of Gen. Graves will not
be announced, but that upon arrival
of the forces the news will be made
public. 1t was not stated whether
an announcement of the size Of the
American contingent may be expect
ed. The Japanese force, in conjunc-
tion with the Chinese which will act
under Japanese direction, probably
Will be more numerous; in fact,
Japan is preparing to send into Sibe-
ria any number Of troops necessary
to carry out the declared purpose to
give effective aid to the Czecho-Slo-
