SENATORSNOW TURN
AGAINST 8-HOURLAW
Williams and Smith of Arizona
Announce They Will Re-
verse Vote.
RESULT IS STILL IN DOUBT

Likelihood of the defeat of the Bor-
land eight hour amendment to the ag-
riculture appropriation bill on the final
vote TO come in the Senate appeared
greater last night.
Two senators who supported the Bor-
land amendment Friday, when by a
vote of 90 to % the Senate refused to
strike it out, late yesterday announced
they would reverse their positions
when the vote is taken in the Senate
They are Senator Williams of Mssis-
sippi and Senator Smith of Arizona
Both will oppose the eight-hour amend
ment because the Senate refused 10
grant the employees of the department
pay for overtime work.
The vote will come on Senator Shep-
pard's motion to strike out the Bor-
land amendment He has reserved the
right to make this motion in the final
parliamentary stages of the consldera-
ton of the bill.
Result Still in Doubt.
Should the lineup in the Senate re-
main the same as on Friday, with the
.excention of the votes of Senators VII
liams and Smith, the Sheppard mouoh
will prevail, 80 to 27. But many sen.
ators were absent Friday, OF Whom a
number are known to favor the bor
land amendment, as we'll others VINO
oppose it The result is still IN oouot.
Senator Williams made vain eIore
to have the Senate overturn the ruiins
of the Vice President that MS arnehu-
ment for time -and-a-half overtime pay
for work in excess of eight hours. was
out of order, as general legislation on

ruling of the chair. The vote was in
no way a test as to the strength of the
Portland amendment, for many OF the
supporters of the Sheppard motion
voted against the appeal.
Wadsworth to Students Aid.
Senator wadsworth of New York
called attention to the fact that about
1000 of the employees of the depart
mentS are attending courses in univer-
stiles in Washington after their offices
close at 4:30. The courses at the uni
versities he said, begin at o'clock If
an hour is added to the work day of
the employees it will make it impossible
for these young men and young women
to attend their courses at the universe

Sa id Senator WadSWorth, authorizing
a head of a department to permit stu
dent in his department taking one of
these university courses to work seven
hours day and to have that count

Senator Borah Immediately protested
against such an arrangement. which,
he said, would demoralize government
service and would be unfair.

amendment was not adopted it would

Only 40 Votes Against Bill.

= AS passed by the Senate last June the
bill made the change effective from
april / 20 September 80, but the House
.aIter amending it so as to provide from
the last Sunday in March to the last
Sunday in October, accepted the bill with
only forty votes against it.
I. In urging acceptance of the House
amendments in the Senate yesterday
Senator Calder, its author. declared the
only change the bill would have on eco
snomic conditions would be to give
every one an extra hour of daylight
each day. The bill, he said, will prove
Ito be one of the most important con-
servation measures ever enacted by
Congress.
We simply move the whole day one
Snour ahead during the seven months
between these two dates by making use
aof an hour of daylight ordinarily
wasted in the early part of the morn
ling" he declared. THE change is uni
sversal, and will cause no confusion.
Business will go on just the same ap-
EpointmentS will be kept just the same,
railroads will run on present time
stables.
y In fact, after the first day no one
swill be inconvenience or confused.
Jnder the operation of this plan, the
worker begins his day by the same
sclock time as formerly. but actually an
hour earlier, and when the days work
is done there is an hour more of day
light which, under the present standard,
she does not enjoy. In that hour he
can till his garden or do any other
thing of healthful or economical
nature"

Senator Wadsworth said he had dis

could not change the study hours
He said. too, that many of these en-

Senator Williams made a point of
order against the Wadsworth amend

Large Number Killed.

Washin gton, June 22.-The steadily increasing participation of American troops in the fighting in France was sharply marked in today's casualty list. Of the~1 153 men, tanned, g in- cluding three officers, were killed in action the heaviest death roll from tn 6 battlefield yet made public.
 Probably no particular action is re- sposible for the number of killed, but it is an accumulation from the five or six sections of the front where the Americans are fighting and from pa trol actions as well as from the larger operations like the attack yesterday near Chateau Thierry to rectify the lines. Great care is exercised in for Warding the lists not to reveal the losses in any particular engagem ent
 The list includes: Killed in action, 52: died of wounds, 26; died of air plane accident, one; died of disease nine; died of accident and other causes, ten: wounded severely 37: wounded, degree undetermined two; missing in action, IS; prisoner, one. Connecticut soldiers mentioned are as follows:

Italian Army Headquarters in Northern Italy, Friday, June 21 (By The Associated Press) .-One out of every ten Italian soldiers wounded in the present fighting bears positive in dications of the use of explosive bull lets by the Austrians, Captain Thwaits, of the American Red Cross has been informed by hospital directors.
 Cavalrymen, artillerymen and air men are giving effective aid to the Italian infantry in driving back the Austrians toward the Piave. One of the principal activities of allied avi- ators, who now have been joined by American flyers, is to prevent Austrian airmen from delivering sacks of bread and other dry foods to the Austrian troops on the western side of the Piave where the Austrians still are fighting tenaciously.
 Around Montello and in the region of the lower Piave, Italian cavalry IS being used to help push the enemy back They are aided by armored cars carrying machine guns.
 The rising waters of the Piave and the activity of the Italian artillery are making it difficult for the Austrians to obtain food. While the water car ries some bridges away and damages others, the gunhers are sinking boats and hammering the damaged bridges and floats.
