Wa&hlngton, Aug. 27.--By a vote of ifiiMi to S the house passed the adminis­ tration man-power bill on Saturday, making the draft age limits eighteen to forty-five years, substantially as drafted by the war department. The only votes afiainst the bill were cast by Representative Meyer London of New York, Socialist, and Represent­ ative Gordon of Ohio, Democrat. The new man-power bill as passed iff the house of representatives pro­ vides for extension of the afmy draft to men between" the ages of eighteen and forty-five. Amendments to the bill agreed to by the house provide that members Of congress and state legislators are not amenable to the draft; that farmers are to be placed in deferred classes; that the provost marshal general -tnay cause men to be re-examined site* their cases have been decided by local boards, and that citizens of co-bellig­ erent countries will be subject to the draft except where -treaties would be violated. An attempt to have men between the ages of eighteen and twenty called only after all in class 1 pver thirty-one years had been called failed. The senate failed to reach a vote, as had been expected. So many senators indicated a desire to discuss the bill that Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, chairman of the senate military affairs committee, foreseeing the impossibil­ ity of reaching a vote asked that it go over until Monday. The Gregg amendment, adopted' Fri­ day, making officers of the executive and legislative branches of fhe govern­ ment subject to the draft, was defeat­ ed on a second vote, 143 to 89. The house also voted doivn the amendment offered by Representative Madden of Illinois providing that no employee of the executive departments of the government should be granted exemption or deferred classification simply because, of the nature of his employment. Representative Black of Texas forced a showdown on the question of drafting workers Who strike after be­ ing exempted for essential Industry. He proposed an amendment similar to that recommended by the senate mili­ tary affairs committee. It was reject­ ed 91 to 52. The house agreed to an amendment offered by Representative Treadway of Massachusetts giving the provost marshal general broader authority in* dealing with local draft boards. The amendment would enable the provost marshal general. If dissatisfied with the work of a local board, to send spe­ cial examiner into the district to re­ examine the men in deferred classifi­ cations. o The Treadway, McCulloch and Campbell amendments, adopted Fri­ day constitute the only important changes made by the house in the bill. The McCulloch amendment orders the drafting of the resident subjects of nations co-belligerent with the United States unless they are specifically ex­ empted by treaty. The Campbell amendment specifically authorizes the placing of persons engaged in agricul­ tural occupations in deferred classes.

Later, after much cloakroom nego­ tiation, leaders said the prohibition supporters had agreed to fix July next as the date when prohibition would become effective. Although some of the bill's opponents were de­ manding a longer extension, represent­ atives of both factions said it ap­ peared probable that July I finally would be agreed to. Senator Sheppard of Texas, mana­ ger of the prohibition bill, stated, fol­ lowing a recent conference at the White House, that the president did hot object to action by congress on1 the legislation, but discussed extend­ ing the effective date of the Restric­ tions.
