MAKE LOAFERS IN.
CITY co TO WORK.
SAYS MACFAYOEN.

II Alderman Malcolm MacFayden
could have his way every able-bodied
man in Bridgeport between the ages
OF 10 and so years will he put to work
or else go to Jail. Last evening at the
meeting of the Common Council Al
derman MacFayden offered a resolu-
ton to that effect.
The alderman cited that the states
OF New jersey and New York are
taxing action in the same manner at
this time and he expressed his opinion
that such a law should be in effect
here. He said he hoped the ordinance
committee would take hold of his res
olution and if it is lawful put it in
effect at once.
Instances where loafers were ap-
preached and offered good positions
where they would receive $2.75 and 50
a day, were cited by Alderman Mac
Fayden after the meeting. All the
satisfaction, he said, an employer
could get out of the men was a laugh.
In the vicinity of Water street there
are any number of such good for
nothings' that should be at work, he
said. These men are living on what
they can get for little effort on their
part. There are a great many places
open where they can be used to good
advantage.
Following is the resolution offered
by Alderman MacFayden:
''Resolved, that this resolution be
enacted as an ordinance, requiring all
able bodied male persons between the
ages of IS and 60 years, inclusive, to
be regularly or continuously engaged
in some lawful, useful and recognized
business, profession, occupation or
employment, whenever, because of the
state of war in which the United
States may be engaged, the mayor
may determine such employment nee
essary and essential for the protec-
ton and welfare of the citizens of the
country; and that the procedure and
the penalties for violation of the same
shall be provided for"

lator ellsworth defended the


Senator Wadsworth defended the bill
ut is the final act of America going
'nto the war with her full strength" he
said. 81 could wish that it had been
done sooner, but | shall not comment on
that now. We have just decided to act
about Russia and it is high time. The
Czecho Slovaks have been begging for
four months for US to come to their as
sstance.
Senator Wadsworth introduced and
defended his amendment, which would
provide that men for the navy and ma
rine corps would be supplied out of the
draft. He pointed out that the navy
said it would need 100000 more men
before the end .of 1913, which is left
out OF the calculations of the General
Staff Of the War Department in max
ing arrangements for drafting the mer
between eighteen and forty-fve for the
army.
The House is expected to pass the
bill tomorrow night, but the debate If
the Senate will probably run for sew
eral days longer at least.
Secretary OF War Baker this after
noon made the following comment or
the draf. age controversy:
1t Is the policy Of the War Depart
ment TO call last, as far as practicable
the men from eighteen to nineteen, as
told the Senate committee, and
fopcd that the Congress would not
make the law 30 inclas.ic as to max,
u impossible for US TO call the cighteer
% nineteen men until we could certify
dehnItely that We had exhausted the
otnef ages, because the long drawn ou,

never tell when we have absolutely
hnished with the other ages. Ny plar

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Every in
6icstion that the bill extending the
draft ages from IS to 45 will pass
Congress in practically the same form
.s asked BY the War Department was
manifest when both House and Senate
,ook up the cons Iteration of the meas
ure to-day.
Bitter opposition TO reducing the
draft ages was voiced by groups in
each house, the personnel of the
groups being almost the same as those
which opposed the original selective
draft bill year ago.
Defending the Mckenzie amendment,
which would defer the calling of the
Younger boys until all the older men
had been inducted into the service,
we're Chairman Dent of the House
Military Affairs Committee and Rep
resentatives Shallenperger, of Ne
braska, and Gordon, Of Cleveland. The
same three men fought for the volun-
teer system as against the draft q
year ago.
Also, as one year ago, Representative
Kahn, ranking minority member of the
committee, fought for the War Depart
ment's plan. Representative McKen-
zie, os Illinois, author of the amend
ment considered to-day, was for the
draft year ago.
In the Senate the only speech to-
day opposing the eishteen-year limita-
ton was made by Senator Kirby, OF
Arkansas, who not only opposed the
draft last year, but voted against war
platt Denounces Opposition
Representative Platt, of New York,
in denouncing the members opposing
the War Departments plan, said:
THIS amendment (the Mckenzie
smendment} is being supported by al
the men who voted against conscrip-
ton and against the war. II is the
last gasp of the obstructionists who
tried to prevent the first draft
In the Senate Mr.. Kirby proposed d

.ower age at twenty instead of eigh-
teen.
