out the nation were chief among the
subjects under discussion today
among the 200 delegates at the con-
vention OF farm organizations at the
Hotel Ebbitt.
Resolutions providing for the cree
tion of the temple were presented
yesterday, and 1t is probable that

be taken today.
Urging that such a building would
be an evident sign OF the union OF

movement.

President Wilson for his signature
within twenty-four hours. Passed
late yesterday by the Senate, IT was
hurried today to conferees, who were
instructed to make all possible speed
on amendments on which House and
Senate disagree. An effort will be
made to report the measure back late

vent this.
The House is expected to accept the
only other amendment OF Importance
made by the Senate. II provides that
registrants need not claim exemption,
but that their rights to deferment or
exemption shall be decided by local
boards upon the statements OF fact
made in questionnaires.
Following the example OF the

whelmingly all amendments tying
the hands of the War Department
with respect to calling the boys OF

to allow war workers to strike for

TALKED TOO FREELY

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN FRANCE. Aug. 2s.-It was learned
today that the British authorities re-
Gently refused their permission for
Congressman Ernest Lundeen of Min
nespta and Charles H. Dillon OF

1t is asserted that the declination
by the British followed because both
