DEFERRED CLASS
FOR RAILROAD MEN
MAY BE NECESSARY
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Aug 2S-Prospects
of the Gripping of railroad operations
by the drafting of skilled employees
have become so serious that the rail-
road administration today took steps
to call the situation sharply to the at
tention of President Wilson and Secre-
tary Baker with the idea of formulat-
ing some systematic plan for giving
deferred classification to railroad men.
More than 100000 employees of the
railways already have entered the
army, and reports to the railroad ad
ninistration indicate that if future
drafts take that many more, the roads
will have great difficulty in operating,
particularly next winter when bad
weather may precipitate a crisis.
Regional directors recently instruct
ed federal managers and general man
ayers of railroads to apply to draft
boards for deferred classification of
all employees considered essential to
operation, and gave detailed advice
concerning the procedure in these
cases. AS result of this course, exc
cutives now are entering applications
in large numbers. These apply main
ly to locomotive engineers, firemen,
freight and passenger conductors and
other trainmen, skilled mechanics in
shops, sta ton agents and telegraph
ers. These are the classes of men, Of
ficials say, who cannot be replaced
quickly by inexperienced employees.

DRAFT PASSES
SENATE WITHOUT
OPPOSING VOTE
Bill Contains Modified Anti
Strike Provision-Age Linz
it Stands.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2S.-The man
power bill. extending the draft age
to Is to As. both inclusive, passed the
Senate Tuesday without a dissenting
vote.
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, voted
against the bill on its final passage
because he was opposed to calling
boys OF Is to fight overseas. When at
the finish of roll call his vote was
the only one in the negative, he said
that he did not want his vote to stand
IN the way OF unanimous action by the
Senate. He said he could not con-
scientiously vote for the measure, and
asked the Senate to excuse him from
voting. He was excused by a formal
motion and VOTE
The bill as it passed the Senate
contains the anti-strike, or work or
fight provision, but with some Of it's
teeth drawn. Senator CumminS, OF
Iowa, proposed and the Senate adopt
ed a modifying amendment which will
protect strikers in their deferred class
ification If they will submit their
grievances to the National War Labor
Board and agree to abide by its de-
cision.
Age Limit Stands.
Amendment after amendment in
tended to free boys under Fl from the
call of the new draft, or to keep them
In reserve In this country and not to
send them to the battle front until
they have attained their majority was
proposed, only to be voted down as
fast as proposed. The acid test was
on the amendment proposed by Sen
ator Poindexter to exempt boys OF IL
from the draft. 1t was defeated by
vote OF SO to 81.
The vote came after Senator Cham
berlain. Chairman of the Military Az
fairs committee, and in charge OF the
bill. had stated that he would not be
a party to "A deception OF the Amer1-
can people, and that he wanted the
Senators to vote for or against the
bill with their eyes open. He said that
the talk OF deferred classes or prefer
ment for the younger registrants was
idle, no matter in what quarter 1t or
iginated, and that boys OF Is would
be called in the draft and would be
sent to the battle front to meet the
present great crisis in the worlds
history IL the bill became a law as
presented to the Senate.
The bill passed as drawn with re-
gard to the call of the Is. 10 and 70
year old boys. giving them no pref
erence by law. and although the War
department insists that the eighteen
year.old boys will cot be in the first
groups. as arranged by the War de-
partment, Secretary Baker does not
say they will not be called within a
few months, or that they will not be
on he battle front in France by the
first of next July, when the United
States expects to have her maximum
army in France.

long. We have moved twice since
then. We were in a fine camp for

working pretty hard but he seems to

fifty feet from our quarters. 1t has
all the conveniences as any camp Y.
NJ. C. A. in the Z. S. A. They also
have a canteen where they sell cakes

the beach which is about ten minutes
walk from here. Then | went down
to little town not far away for a
while. The French towns and people
are old fashioned looking but very
interesting I'll wait until I'm home to

RICHMOND SAILOR
HEARS ADDRESS BY
SECRETARY DANIELS

Ray Williams OF Richmond was
among the crowd of sailors at Hamp-
ton Roads. Va, to hear the address
given here by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels. Williams expects to leave
for overseas service soon Williams
sent a copy Of Daniels speech to his
mother. A portion Of the address
follows:
You know this navy you belong to
is the greatest institution in the
world, and has in is ranks today,
over four hundred and fifty thousand
men, the very flower OF America. That
is you; don't be modest about it, II
anyone tells you the young men of the
navy are the finest fellows in the
world, blush bit, but speak right
up and say, I'VE know it." And why
do you know it? Because your broth
ers are across who are looking to YOU
We are building ships as fast as ia
cilities will permit, so that you can
go over and take part in the struggle
In which no man can engage unless
in his heart he has the spirit of liberty
and whose spirit gives him courage
and strength.
Mind you, while you first remember
that you are lighting for home and
for the kind of government that made
our fathers and mothers what they
are. And whether you are in Hamp-
ton Roads or on ships or in France or
Great Britain, l counsel you boys not
to do anything that you could not go
back home and look your mother in
the eye and tell her you had done.
You cannot win this war; no nation
can win it unless they can shoot
straight, and men cannot shoot
straight unless they live straight.
There is not any organization in
the world where team work is as i'm
portant as in the Navy. l do not care
how great the Admiral is, if the wig
wager failed to do his work we'll,
the Admiral fails; and from the Ad-
miral down, like baseball, there must
be team work. You boys know a
pitcher can not win a game if the
outfielder muffs the ball. So in the
Navy; 1t is team work. You may
learn to do your job a little better
and get big job; for the best man
and the f1ttest man in the world is the
man who takes orders and goes to it."
