Washington, Aug. 20. - (AP)-
Their battle for pcacCtime cOnScrlp-
ton half won by So to 81 vote vic
tory in the Senate, supporters OF the
Burke-WadsWOrth compulsory mill
tary service bill mustered their for
ces today for the fight to come in
the House.
After three weeks Of stormy and
often bitter debate, the Senate gave
its approval to CONSUMPTION last night
at the close Of a tense ninc-hOur Ses-
sion.
The bill as passed was substan-
TALLY unchanged in lis essentials
from the version originally recon-
mended by the Senate military COM
mittee. One major addition would
give the government the power TO
"conscript' industry for defense, II
necessary.
The victory of peacetme conscrip-
ton in the Senate was expected 10
hasten the action Of the House mill
tary committee on somewhat dill
fercnt version of the Burke-W adS-
worth bill which it is considering.
House debate is tentatively sche-
duled to start Tuesday and forecasts
were that it would consume at least
four days. Proponents Of conscrlp-
ton were optimistic that the bill
would be passed and opponents Of
the measure privately conceded that
chances of defeating it were slim.
The bill as passed by the Senate
carries the following major proVls-
ions:
ALL male citizens or prospective
citizens from 81 through 80 would
be REQUIRED to register with few eN-
ceptions.
Unregistered men would be sub
iect to call for years compulsory
military service.
3-The men called for service
would be selected in an impartial
manner" and in such numbers as the
President specifies. The maximum
number of trainees at any one time
is limited to 100000.

Await Approval On

Middletown city employees will face
payless paydays unless the city agrees
to accept the 1910 tax rate by January
Is, R. H. Smith, Butler County audi
tor, disclosed Tuesday.
The difficulty, he said, will result
from the inability Of the city to set up
funds for next year without formal
acceptance of the tax rate. Middle
town officials declined to accept the
rate when it was made several weeks
ago and appealed to the state tax
commission, which rejected the COM
plant Monday.
The city officials demanded higher
rate after the Butler County budget
commission had reduced the 1910 rate
two cents on each 81 ZOO in property
valuation.
