SENATE PASSES MAN POWER BILL
 UNANIMOUSLY
Adopted As Desired by War Department Ages IS to
 45 Included.

Washington, Aug. 28-Voting unan- imously, the Senate yesterday passed the Administration man-power bill extending the draft limit ages to from IS to 45 years and carrying a drastic anti-strike amendment which will compel all men of draft age en- gagged in essential industries to stick by the job or join the colors The bill will go to conference with it's anti-strike clause, the only important feature added to the bill as it passed the House. An amendment on this clause may take time, as the House emphatically rejected the amend ment.
 In the roll call on the final passage of tn bill 75 Senators answered Aye" Only Senator Gore (Okla), the last remaining representative of the "wil- ful twelve,'' vated in the negative. Before the announcement of the re- suit, though, he obtained permission to be recorded as mot voting"
 "In view of the position I have taken and of my convictions on this question, I cannot bring myself to vote for the bi1l," announced Senator Gore, but do not wish to figure as the only man in the Senate voting in the negative"
 The final unanimous acceptance of the man-power bill, just as the Gen eral Staff desired it, followed a series of attempts to modify it's terms. There were numerous roll calls on amendments designed to prevent drafting the junior class. Only one of them, the amendment by Senator Poindexter (Wash.) to make the jun for limit 19 instead of IS years, was voted upon in the open Senate after the bill had left the committee of the whole The amendment was lost, 52 to 21.
 The defence of the position of the General Staff and the War Depart ment in insisting upon the draft age limits being as finally set forth in the bill was presented by Senators Chamberlain (Ore.), chairman of the Military committee, and Hitchcock (Neb.). Senator Chamberlain ad- mitted that only the great exigency of the war and the opportunity to strike the crushing blow within the next 12 months justified the great scope of the proposed draft.

CTS of Bridgeport in their work and his family grew up In the atmosphere and surroundings which they estab- lished and created.
 An evidence of Mir. Morris fore- sightedness lay in the fact that years ago he foresaw the possibility of de- velopment of Payer weather's Island, lying between Bridgeport and Block Rock harbor. This property had be- longed for generations back to farm erS in Trumbull, Easton and Monroe and on account of the shifting nature of the sandbars, it was almost impos- slble to trace, the different owner ships. MT. Morris made it source of pleasure and interest 25 years ago to seek out the owners of these prop critics in the different country towns and ta acquire their respective titles and interests. Later on the city took over from MT. Morris all of the con- to this Fayerweather's Island prop erty and 1t is now held for develop ment as one of the city's parks.
 MT. Morris was for many years a member of the Seaside Club, the Black Rock Yacht Club, the Brook lawn Country Club and many other similar organizations. He was par ticularly known for his kindly and courteous manner, his geniality and strong sympathies His life brought
 him into association with a large number of men whose life, like his,
 was wrought into the fabric of Bridgeport's development and growth. When he came here the city was not much more than a country village and it was the looking spirit and enterprise of the group of men with whom he was intimately associated
 that gave it such large imptus
 towards it's present size and charac- ter.
 MT. Morris wife died seven years ago. His son, Paul Winters Morris,
 sculptor of prominence, died about two years ago. Remaining of MT.
 Norris family are a son, Louis N.
 Morris, two daughters, Mrs. William T. Hincks and Mrs. Edgar W. Bas- sick, a grandson, MT. Dudley M. Nor 1 ris.

MORE COAL FOR
 CONNECTICUT IS
 NEW FUEL ORDER

The Anthracite Committee of the U. S. Fuel Administration today an- nounced the domestic tonnage figures for 222 communities in Connecticut that receive hard coal in conformity with the U. s. allotment figures an- nounced by the committee on May 29, 191S All anthracite producers and distributors are notified they must ship hard coal only into the copmu- mites named on the list and conform to the exact figures as outlined by the committed. By so doing it is be- lieved that the best fuel needs of the Nutmeg State will be met and it is suggested that the using of bitumi- nous and wood, wherever possible, will both aid and husband the an- thracite supply. A
 Among the pr-nncipal cities that are supplied with anthracite a.e New Ha- ven which receives the highest amount of 315,444 gross tons; Bridge Iprt, 3o0,O0O tons; Hartford, 291, ,86l tons; Waterbury, 2SO,OOO tons; Stam- ford, 75.O0O tons; Norwalk, 5 200 tons; Greenwich, 43,32 tons; Danbury, 36 6,345 tons.
 Connecticut's allotment for the 191S-19 coal year is 2,476,7O gross tons, an increase of 26 per cent. over the 1916-17 coal year distribution figures.

NEARLY 24O,OOO UNDER NEW DRAFT
 IN CONNECTICUT

Hartford. Aug. 2s-Estimates sub mitted by state local draft boards to Major John Buckley yesterday put the number expected to register in September under the amended draft law at 39,500. The estimates are based upon the number of registrants in June, 1917, the war department having instructed boards to base their estimates upon the theory that one and one-third more registrants would enroll this year than a year ago. Hartford boards expect to register 25, men as follows: Board No. 1, 7,5OO; Board No. 2, 5000; Board No 8, 9,009.
 The boards will receive forms for the registration upon this estimate as soon as the amendment now before Congress becomes law. Complete in structions for registering the addi- tional man-power of the nation will be sent to local boards immediately upon the final passage of the act and the afflxing Of President Wilson's sig nature.

ton to get the official announcement of the details of the award.
 While no official statement would bG made by the management of the Arms company 1t was pointed out that the award would effect a large per cent age of the workers in the U. M. c. but only a small number of the thous- ands employed by the Remington Arms as the latter in a great number of cases have been and are getting at the present time more than 7S cents an hour for their work.
 It was also pointed out that when Gen. c. c. Williams made the award which gave the machinists an increase of pay ranging from three per cent. to fifty-five per cent, a mistake had been made, because 1t effected only the machinists and they represent only about ten per cent. of the people em- ployed by the company. This mis- take was officially rectified later when Secretary for War Newton Baker re- scinded the order.
 When the terms of the award were made known to the members of the ters general dissatisfaction and disap- ters general dissatisfaction and risap- pointment at the result of months of deliberation by the War Labor Board was expressed.
 When asked what attitude the ma chinists would adopt, it was said: "The men are disappointed and dis satisfied with the award and a mass meeting has been arranged to take
 
 morrow night at 8 o'clock. We will decide at that meeting what course to adopt, but until then we have nothing to say except that we asked for minimum scale and did not get 1 it."
 This action on the part of the ma- chinists was somewhat expected as a i great number of them are now get ting more than 7S cents an hour and therefore will not be affected by the award

OF BEEF
 TO BE LOWER IN
 CONN. MARKETS

Hartford, Aug. 29-Connecticut housewives who have been accustom- ed to purchase beef from heavier weight carcasses should now be able to buy at much lower prices than the average which has ruled during the past year if they observe the Food Administration request to demand meat from cattle which dress below AIS pounds per head. The Food Ad- ministration declared today that the lightweight cattle are now moving ra- pidly to market, the producers in the southwest endeavoring to dispose of them before they suffer further from the effects of the long continued drought.
 Heavy steers are being sold in Eas- tern meat centers for $26 to $27 per 100 pounds; good steers, somewhat lighter. in weight, at $24 to $25; me- dium weight steers, at $19 to s21, and light weight steers at $14 to SIS.
 While prices are not uniform throughout the country it will be found that, this ratio will rule in practically every market. Meat mar kets which normally cut $26 beef can obviously give their patrons the bene- fit of such wide difference in first cost. Selling light cuts, bought at $14 to SIS, there should be a material reduction below the selling price of meat bought at $26.
 The Food AdministratiC:.. believes that it's request for consumption of the light cattle will not only do much to relieve the producers who are af- fected by severe droughts, but should be followed by a general downward trend in retail purchasing prices-the demand turning to the cattle which are now in abundance and relieving the strain on the market for heavier beef which is still badly needed for the military forces and for export to the civil populations of the allied countries. The market should natur- ally follow in it's price reductions the difference in first cost, providing a reasonable low price to those who | utilize the lightweight cattle. They | are wholesome, of good quality, and 1 before being marketed have passed government inspection.
 Following a conference between | packers and the Food Administration, attended by officers of the Army | Navy and Marine Corps, maximum prices are announced at which beef will be allotted for September deliv- ery-eXcepting on the Pacific coasts for the Army, Navy and Allies.
 The following bases are f. o. b. Chicago, per 100 pounds, for steers of quality and grade satisfactory to the authorized inspectors, chilled and un- wrapped. These prices average sub- startially the same as for the month | of August.
 475 to 575 pounds, S21.9O.
 575 to 700 pounds, S22.65.
 TOO to $50 pounds, $23.35.
 The average weight of cattle mar keted this year. it was brought out Is 30 pounds lighter than last year 40 pounds lighter than in 1916 and 6C pounds below the 1915 average. This is due in part to excessive marketing of immature cattle owing to drought conditions.
 To utilize cattle below AIS pounds in weight, the minimum now beine supplied on Army specifications housewives and proprietors of public
 eating places are asked by the Foot Administration to buy cuts iron 1 lighter weight stock.

N DdCh )d dylll6llG O1 WdSCo' D n the important question of clas- 'cation of skilled men the umpire |ided against changing present Ehods on the ground that to sud- ly order a complete readjustment the prevailing working system |ild be prejudicial to the interest of
 government, which is directly hcerned in the output of the |dgeport industries. The workers handed that they be classified as lmakers, machinists, specialists h machinist helpers and that a |nimum rate of pay be established each of these classif1cations. In addition to the selection by |rkers of committees to represent m in their dealings with the man ement, the decision provides that |al board of six members be estab- he'd.

 chosen by and to represent the
