"WORK OR FIGHT"
LAUSt
PROPOSED
Senate Military Committee Con
siders Amendment, to New
Man- Power Measure.
Wanhlnirton. Augr. 13. (I. N. S.) Car
rying a work or fight provision that will
apply to all men between the aaes of 18
and 43 placed In deferred classification
under the draft the new "man power"
1I1I was ordered reported to the senate by
tho. military affairs committee this aft
ernoon. ' The work or fight amendment, which
was written by Senator Reed, Is de
signed to prevent loafing and not as a
weapon against strikes. The wording of
the amendment Is such that It could be
Mf used, but the power to make regula
tions for Its enforcement n left with the
president. The president was ordered by
the committee to make such regulations
as could not be used as a weapon
against organised labor.
The work or fight amendment is In
the form of a proviso to follow the
paragraph in the original bill providing
for deferred classification and exemption.-
Must Coatiaas to Work
The Amendment follows:
"Provided, that when any person shall
have been placed in a deferred or ex
empted class for any of the reasons
in this paragraph set forth, he shall
not be entitled to remain therein un
Ipsb he shall In good faith continue,
while, physically able to do so. to work
at and follow such occupation, employ
ment or business and if he fails so to
do, he shall again become subject to
the draft. The president shall make
Tfgulations for enforcing this provi
sion." The amendment as agreed to by the
committee wa a compromise between
tlie provision proposed by Senator
Thomas, which would have Inducted de
ferred men into the military service
after five days of willful Idleness, anj a
mre .moderate provision proposed by
Senator Reed.
Krtnratlon to Be Provided
Three other Important amendments to
the bill were adopted by the committee
before the bill was ordered reported.
The most important of these was one
clvlng to volunteers and drafted men
bolow the age of 21. the right to receive
an education at the expense of the gov
ernment at approved educational Insti
tutions. The period of this education
would be the equivalent to the terms
served in the army or navy, but In no
aH would exceed two years.
The amendment provides that the ap
plication for such education and privi
lege shall be made within- six j months
after discharge and that' the applicant
shall begin his studies immediately
upon its approval. The president is
given power to formulate rules and reg
ulations to carry out this provision.
Discrimination Is Removed
Another -amendment adopted: by tha
committee would remove discrimina
tion against drafted men and volun
teers in securing commissions in either
the army or the navy on the ! grounds
that they are too young.
Soldiers and sailors, regardless of age.
shall, when thy are accepted as vol
unteers or have been drafted, be eligible
to receive commissions in either the
army or the navy, the amendment
Bays. They shall also be eligible to
admission to officers' training schools,
and shall not "be barred or discrimi
nated against on account of age."
Wives of soldiers and sailors shall
wot be disqualified for positions under
the government because they are mar
ried, another amendment provides.

Charging cruelty and non-support

against Robert McKee in the circuit

Kstablish merit of a community : coun
cil of Americanization for the benefit of
foreign-born Illiterates was urged by
Mrs. Edwin Arnold, special representa
tive of the National Security league and
the National Committee of Olio Hun
dred, in an address at the Chamber of
Commerce luncheon at noon today. "A
unified America" is given as the watch
word of today.
Education of adults in English is the
prime objective of the work, which is in
conjunction with 'the educational pro
gram promoted at Washington, D. C.
Intrinsic value of the work is claimed
by Mrs. Arnold, who declared that the
efficiency of' employes In a Wheeling.
W. Va., factory was increased 175 per
cent as a result of the new system.
It was suggested that factory owners
permit part of their factory time to be
devoted to teaching the American ideals.
She said : "There are 1,500,000 American-born
adults in this country who do
not either read or speak English. Our
manpower is deficient because our edu
cation is deficient. The interpreter Is
too often a German spy."
Mrs. Arnold is traveling by automo
bile with her husband and daughter and
is making a tour of the Pacific Coast
under the supervision of Dr. Harrison
H. Wheaton, immigration specialist of
the United States bureau.

73 Weidler street will continue the work
here.

of the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce : "The railroad administration
has withdrawn the order discontinuing
the export bills of lading effective Sep
tember 30. Present system will remain
in force. Convey this information to

Work for "Bums"
At Cantonments
Washington, Aug. 13. (U. P. Jeff
Davis, "Hobo King," blew into town to
day to interest Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder in work for the country's
"bums."
"You see," said Jeff, "the difference
between the hobo, tramp and bum is
that the first can and does work, the
second can and will work if he has to,
and the third won't work.
"Now, 50,000 heboes are working for
their country today. They've gone out
of our ranks into the army and navy.
This work or fight law will cop a ma
jority of the tramps, but the bum the
older bird, who frequents the barrel
house and missions, a drag on society
we've got to get him.
"I'm going to see General Crowder
and try to get him Interested in having
these bums put at wcrk peeling potatoes
and doing jobs around cantonments.
I say, free the soldiers from this stuff
and let the bums do It."

Packers' Costs and
Profits
How much do you think it costs
1. To dress beef, cure hides, and prepare
all the numerous by-products?
i
2. To cool the meat for two or three days
before shipment?
-irfi
3.
To freight it to all parts of the country
in special refrigerator cars, iced
daily?
i!
4. To carry it in hundreds of branch
houses, each with its refrigerating
plant?
5. And to deliver it to i the retailer
sweet and fresh in j less than two
weeks after dressing?: j
Swift & Company did all this for you in
1917 at an expense of less than 2h cents per
pound of beef sold, including an average
profit of i of a cent a pound.
Figure for yourself how little effect this
cost and profit had on prices you paid for
beef steak.
