A strong undercurrent of fooling waa
noticeable at tho session, and a num

A communication from a committee
of mill workers, asking tha city for the

months ago, were evidently relieved
at the business-like tonee of the aherllf

for the future malntalnenre of peace
and order on the streets.

WASHINGTON, June ' 26. Opposl
tlon of the Administration to proposals
before the Senate for Immediate ex
tension of the selective draft age
limits, voiced today by Secretary Dak
ar and General March, chief of staff,
before the Senate military committee,
apparently served to Increase the
Senate controversy over an amend
ment by Senator Fall, of New Mexico,
to the $13,000 000,000 Army appropria
tion bill, proposing that the age limits
b 20 and 40 Instead of 21 and 91
yeara.
Spirited all-day debate of the ques
tion In the Stnate, In which Important
revelations of the Nation's military
program were made, followed the mil
itary committee conference.
The Sena-e adjourned until tomor
row In the midst of discussion with a
vote not In Immediate prospect, but
with Administration leaders confident
of ultimate defeat of the proposal. To
morrow the fittht la to be wsumed
with a Una. vote expected before the
end of the week.
Before the Senate reconvened to
day, Senator Raker, General March
and Provost Marshal General Crowder,
who went to the capltol at the request
of mmlrv of the military committee,
spent nearly three hours behlud clos
ed doors with the committee.
The Secretary and Chief of Start
said legislation to change the age
limits should be deferred for 60 or 90
days, aa enough men for the existing
Army program are available, and a
new and enlarged Army program Is
now being prepared for submission to
Congress within a few months.
Clackamas county la fast on the
trail of W. 8. S. victory. Hardly , had
the assignment of quotas for the dis
tricts been made by County Chairman
J. K. Calavan, until the reports of
"over the top, and still going strong"
commenced to come In from a dozen
different points. '
Not In any previous patriotic drive
tor funds has the enthusiasm been so
keen-. With the monster rally here
last Saturday as a starter for the
campaign, the leaders In the 135 dis
tricts throughout the country have
hammered away each day since with
all tne fevor at their command. No
let up has been allowed, the house to
houre canvassing has been faithfully
carted on and the pledges of the pop
ulation taken down. Tho response has
been hearty. No side-stepping of the
Issue has been reported by the die
tr'r.t . committeemen. Every single
resident Is coming along in fine shape
and the National War Savings Day
celebration on June 28, will be the
occasion for a general thanksgiving
upon the successful culmination of
one of the largest Issues for funds
ever authorized by the government.
Among the districts that have re
ported their quotas subscribed In the
War Savings Stamp campaign are
Advancer Currlnvllle, Baxter, Fir
Grove, Harlow, Kelso, Stone, Sandy,
Rock Creek, and Holcomb. There are
a number of others who have bad
their assignments subscribed, but who
have not yet reported to headquart
ers at County School Superintendent
C'alavan'a office, at the court house.
Interest is centering high in the
coming rally on June 28. At this time
the entire population of the county
will be expected to convene at the var
ious school houses throughout the
county, where they will be addressed
by speakers on the Issue at hand, and
where the final roll call of subscribers
to the "baby bonds" will bo held. Since
the history of the nation there has
been no meotlng such as Is scheduled
by proclamation of our President for
that date.
By Thursday night it Is expected
that practically every" district will
have been reported well over the top.
Tho committee In charge here has
worked hard, and have done excellent
work along publicity llneB. Associated
with Mr. Calavan are W. T. Mllllken,
O. D. Eby, and E. G. Caufleld.
Late reports received by Mr. Cala
van last night show the following dis
tricts having reached their quotas and
In addition some have gone "over the

T
SALKM, Or., June 28. (Special to
the Enterprise.) The Public Service
Commission today Issued two orders,
affecting the Portland & Oregon City
Railroad Company. In one, on com
plaint of the citizens of Mllwaukle, and
others the commission requires the
company to comply with their publish
ed schedules In the operation of trains,
and also orders them to desist from
filling gas tanks on gasoline cars
while there are passengers aboard
the car. This practice la held as dan
gerous to the traveling public. The
order also requires the railway com
pany to establish and maintain com
fortable and adequate station facilit
ies for Its patrons.
Crosslnns were ordered on the road
way, which Includes an overhead
crossing at the Bprlngwater county
road. The County Court of Clackamas
County objected to this crossing, on
the grounds that It would Interfere
with the operation of their rock crush
er and quarry, but the commission
brushed this objection aside, declar
ing that It Is a question to be ad-
Justed only In the proper state courts.
Four grade crossings were also order
ed placed, one at the William Mom
power place, at Pinner's Mill, at Viola,
and one at another point on tha coun
ty road.

The exemption board of the Clack
amas county selective service depart
ment has received another call for 89
clasa one reglstranta to entrain for
Camp la wis, about the 22nd of July.
The Clackamas county draft officials
by but a few days, will require nearly
all of the available class one men In
the county, In the estimation of the
clerk of the board, and It may be that
some of the ship yard workers will be
called to complete the list. There are
now approximately a hundred of the
Clackamas county claaa one men em
ployed In the ship yards, thereby re
ceiving deferred classification. They
will be subject to call, however, be
fore the class two men are called.
Orders have also been received here
by the board for the mailing of the
questionnaires to the 192 class one
men who registered on June 5. This
list will be available for call In about
two months, in the opinion of the ex
emption board, but just what per
centage will be utilized cannot be
determined until the return' of the
questionnaires.
The Clackamas county draft official
now have one call for entralnment to
morrow 83 men for Camp Lewis. An
other call of special mechanics will be
filled with 12 mnn on the 30th. and

ed, a total of four different increments,
including the 89 men for July 22. In
this list now being handled by the war
board here, are 259 class one men. It

G CROWDS
The draft increment of 83 class one
men got away for Camp Lewis on good
time yesterday morning when they
departed on the 8:40 Southern Pacific.
With the expectlon of 4 men, all of
the list showed up Sunday afternoon
for Inspection,' and after assembling
on the court house lawn for review
before the draft officials, they were
released until train time.
Sunday night at the Electric hotel,
an informal banquet was held under
the auspices of the Commercial club
In honor of the boys, at which time
speakers made short talks on the pres
ent day situation. Among the speak
ers were W. T. Mllllken, John W.
Loder, and O. D. Eby. The boys were
the guests of the Commercial club
while in the city, and were entitled
to the privileges of the club rooms
and billiard parlor. There were a num
ber of the men 'unable to return to
their homes for the last night with
relatives and friends, and they were
glad to take advantage of the hospital
ity of the city on the ocasslon of their
entrance into the National Army.
At train time yesterday, a huge
crowd was out to bid the contingent
fare-well, and they were speeded on
their way to American Lake with the
well wishes of hundreds of citizens
ringing in their ears. Among the num
ber were several young men from
Oegon City the majority, however,
coming from the rural districts.
OF
Organized and ' unorganized labor
met in the long threatened battle on
the streets of Oregon City late Satur
day afternoon and for half an hour
fought with tooth and toe-nail to their
hearts' content
Heads were cracked, noses broken
and blood flew in aU directions. It was
a glorious occasion for those who met
their personal enemies In the thick
crowd of hundreds lammed around the
east end of the Suspension bridge and
on Main and Seventh Streets. And
when those filled with the blood lust
could find no one against whom they
had a little or big grudge, any likely
looking opponent was - picked. One
man, not of either faction, was jump
ed on and emerged with his tact beat
en into a pulp.
The fight waa scheduled for five o'
clock and it was, pulled off promptly
on time. The striking mill workers,
most of whom work In the ship yards
In Portland, came In a body. They
brought Kelly Loe, of the Labor Press
and a representative of the Portland!
News, as special press correspondents, j
Oregon City was not backward in
arrangements for the fray. It had been
rumored about for several days that
the fight was to occur. Hundreds of
people were on hand at the appointed
time and the un-organized mill work
ers were at the bridge at five o'clock
ready to meet their opponents. For
half an hour the hundreds of specta
tors had battle thrills seldom experi
enced in this day" of law and order.
The forces were well set prior to
the battle. The Invading strikers lin
ed up on either side of the east ap
proach of the Suspension bridge
awaiting the arrival of non-union mill
workers from the mills in West Linn.
They had been In line only a short
time when a massed formation of men
started across the bridge from the
West Linn side. B. T. McBain, mill
manager sauntered unconcernedly in
the lead, a few feet behind him came
G. W. Moriarlty and behind them a
big mass of mill workers, filing the
bridge from railing to railing. The
air was surcharged with battle.
Manager McBain passed through the
lines of strikers before hostilities be
gan. Bystanders assert that hisses di
rected at him precipitated the fight.
Moriarlty, of the non-union mill work
ers is credited with being the star
preformer and it is said he was every
where in the fight and before the fight
was stopped whipped at least eight
men. Moriarlty asserts he is an ex
marine of the United States, and an
Irishman.
The Oregon City police was entire
ly unable to cope with the situation.
No extra police had been sworn in
to stop the scheduled tray and al
though It raged for half an hour in
the center of the city, none were
sworn in to handle the disgracing
spectacle. Traffic across, the Suspen
sion bridge and along Main Street was
blocked for that length of time.
There were a number of little in
teresting side-lights to the fight. One
woman, with a baby in her arms, was
seen in the midst of the crowd, urg
ing her favorites to "give It to 'em."
Men would emerge from the thicket
of humans with blood streaming from
their faces, mill around in a dazed
condition until they collected their
senses and then break back into the
crowd, looking for the ones respons
ible for their temporary defeat.
The names of a few of the most
strenuous fighters were taken by the
police and deputy sheriffs but no one
was 'jugged." After gorging themselves
with the battle spectacle, the onlook
ers dispersed and the officials were
able to perpetuate a temporary truce,
at least, between the battle-scared
workers.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN

In their operation in Bell leu wood was
286. - ...
The Importance of the American ad

by the amount of territory captured
aa that only amounts approximately to
500 square yards. The new positions
of the Americans, however, dominate
the ridge beyond, so that they now

One of seven officers captured said
the German commanders have been
telling the soldiers that the Germans
have landed an army in America, cap
tured New York and are now march
ing toward Philadelphia. The Germans
also are told that submarines have
sunk between 40 and 50 ships in Long
Island Sound. - - . i
Another German officer, arrogant and
sarcastic, remarked f
"We are Jnst starting with the Am
ericans. We are going to wipe out
whole divisions as if they were com
panies.1
The German privates were less ar
rogant and apparently were glad they
were captured. One declared that the
Germans were surprised at the Ameri
cans, who appeared so young, but
fought like devils, when they got
started. Another declared:
"The war will soon be ended! There
are too many Americans coming to Eu
