knitters, bandage-makers and others in
the Red Cross have new rival.
The laboring man is the rival!
Details of how carpenters gave up
their Saturday half holidays to build huts
and dance pavilions for soldiers in Louis
lana, Alabama and Mississippi were told
today by Mrs. R. E. Foster, director Of
the canteen service in the Gulf Division
of the American Red Cross.
Gin Shreveport the carpenters built a
canteen hut one Saturday afternoon, y
said Mrs. Foster. "They gave their
time and labor-and gladly, too. In
Baton Rouge they built dancing pa
vilion, and in Huntsville, Ala, another
eanteen hut was built by the volunteer
workers.
"Little has been said or written about
their sacrifices. They have given real
service. The Red Cross appreciates their
efforts more than they know,'' added
Mrs. Foster.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Congress
failed again today to complete the
manpower bill, extending the selec
tive draft age limits to 18 to As years
of age. Only the formality of the
signing of the measure by the pre-
siding officers of the Senate and
House remains, and it was predicted
tonight the measure will be in Presi-
dent Wilson's hands soon after the
noon convening hour. It's immediate
approval by the executive is expected.
The conference report on the bill,
approved yesterday by the House,
was adopted late today by the Senate
by yea and nay vote-with but a
feeble opposition of a few senators
present. Senate debate on the ''work
or fight" amendments excision was
so protected that the House ad-
journed before the bill could be re-
turned there for the signature of the
speaker. The rules require that sig
natures Of the presiding officers be
attached to the engrossed measure
while the houses are in session.
Senate debate today centered on
the elimination Of the "work or
fight" amendment by the conferes.
Senators Thomas Of Colorado, au-
thor of the amendment, and McCum.
Der Of North Dakota vehemently pro-
tested against the striking out of the
provision, which has been fought by

DRILL WORK PROGRESSES

Drill work for company j. mas
advanced from the squad to the pla
toon. The company was large enough
last night to permit it to be separated
into two platoons. One consisted Of
three squads and the other, two.
Each platoon was commanded by a
sergeant from Company K and the
company as q whole was directed by
Captain Laurin.
This formation enabled Captain
Laurin to extend the foot ma
MOWERS, but he was to a great de-
gree restricted by the lack Of space.
The members Of the company en-
joyed the new work and according
to comments Of spectators on the
"side lines" they presented a very
good appearance.
One Of the sergeants also had
charge Of the calisthenic exercises
preceding the drill and he certainly
put the men througha stiff workout.
A sigh Of relief could be heard over
the hall when he finally brought the
exercise work to close. However,
no one complained, and not a one
dropped out. The men are demon
strating to the most critical Of the
'lookers-on" that they are in dead
earnest.
Captain Laurin announced at the
close of the drill that another drill

to lack of fiat from Congress, Sem
ator Chamberlain said.
Criticism of published plans of the
War Department for free technical
and special education of drafted
youths under 81 was expressed by
several senators, denouncing the
action of the War Department in
taking over schools and colleges as
socialistic
The Penrose amendment to ex-
empt registrants from claiming draft
exemption, Senator Chamberlain ex-
planned, was eliminated because 1t
would delay the new registration by
making necessary reprinting millions
of questionnaires and other official
forms and because new regulations
to accomplish the same object al
ready are in process of issuance.
The amendment of Senator France
of Maryland proposing insignia for
men given deferred classification for
essential work, the chairman said,
was stricken out because such badges
are believed unnecessary at this
time. The plan was unsuccessfully
tried in one state.
The separate resolution to supple
ment the Fall amendment, giving
homestead rights to youths drafted
under p, was introduced by Senator
Chamberlain with a favorable re-
port from the public lands commit
tee. To prevent speculation in youths
relnquishments and filing rights, the
resolution would require six months
on homesteads before they could be
transferred, with penalties of $1,000
fine and two years Imprisonment for
speculation, fraud upon the entrants

Thomas, it's author, who said he con-
sidered that provision as important,
if not more so, than any other in the
bill. He declared that labor demands
almost always have beep granted,
further demands and
predicted that there would be strikes
until the public patience is exhaust
ed. He praised Fuel Administrator
Garfeld's refusal to grant demands
of the United Mine Workers. "The
present work or fight regulation
never has been enforced" the Colo
RADIO senator said, and he concluded
with a declaration that workmen who
are exempted and fail to work and
do their duty, are traitors, "stabbing

Philadelphia has been troubled by
a typical German lie to the effect
that six soldiers on a troop train
going through that city were fatally
poisoned by food given them at the
railroad station. No such poisoning
occurred. Moreover, in order to
make such poisoning impossible, none
but Red Cross canteen workers are
allowed to give refreshments to SOL
diers at railroad stations. In Phila-
delphia all refreshments for the sol.
diers are kept under lock and key
at the storeroom and only Red Gross
workers are allowed to touch the
food.

haps the first time under the fuel
administration order closing all
industries to relieve the coal short
age and release fuel for ships load

Garfield signed the order last night
in the face OF protests predicting dis.
astrous consequences and formal
request from the senate for its sus-
pension.
1t is stated officially the presi-
dent is not considering interfering
and feels certain the country will be

by the senate to head off the order.
Senators described themselves as
being in a state of "impotent indigna-
ton" Smith of Michigan said the
senate should rise and clip the
wings OF those who seek TO exercise
authority which was never intended
to be given"
The order was modified today to
permit all munitions plants to work
at full capacity, Only one ice plant
is allowed to operate in any city.
Twenty-three of the largest steel
mills are allowed to operate, provid-
ed they devote their full capacity to
government work.
The food administration exempted

A flood OF exemption applications
were received today. II appeared
that those woOlen plants making
cloth for soldiers uniforms win re
ceiye favorable consideration.

RESULT Of ORDER
ON FUEL, CHARGE
GARFIELD GRlLLED FOR TWO
HOURS BY SENATORS WHO
oIsAPPRoVE ACTION.

tDy Associated PressD
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield underwent a
two-hour grilling yesterday at the
hands of the senate committee in.
vestigating the coal shortage which
called him before it to explain his
reasons for issuing the order shut
ting down industries by denying
them the use of coal.
AT the termination OF the hearing
the committee decided to make no
formal report, but Chairman Reed
made a speech in the senate declar-
ing Dr. Garfield had not satisfied
him of the necessity for such drastic
action. The line of questions asked
by other members of the committee
indicated that they, too. took the
same view.
Dr. Garfield declared the order
was made imperative because of the
fuel and transportation crisis. If
coal were not put off to all in
dustries for period many of them,
he said, would be forced to close,
anyhow, and the government in clos
ing down everything intended to
treat al alike.
Members of the committee criti-
cised severely the closing down Of
industries which have coal stores
on hand and declared that the order
if made effective, would cost the
country billion dollars in wages
and production.
