On March 132, the labor leaders of the country as- sembled in Washington adopted this pledge: We, the officers of the national and international trade unions of Amercia in national conference assembled in the capital of our nation hereby pledge ourselves in peace or in war, in stress, or in storm, to stand unreservedly by the standards of liberty and the safety and preservation of the ideals of our republic. It is to carry out this pledge, its leaders say, that the alliance was formed. Incidentally it will. aim at combating the influence of the so- cialists Workmen’s council, of which the socialist leader, Morris Hillquitt is one of the leading spirits. This or- ganization has already started a prop- aganda which is regarded by the more conservative labor men as dangerous to the successful prosecution of the war, in which the efficient conduct of the- industria] ferces of- the nation i! essential to success. Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, was made vice chairman of the alliance: Robert Maisel was made director of publicity, and the following advisory council was named; Ernest Bonan, secretary of the Central Federation Union of Manhattan; James P. Hol- land, ‘president of the New York state Federation of Labor; Chester M. Wright, former editor of The New York Call; W. L. Small of the Typo- graphical Union of Newark; David J. Berry, manager of the National Labor Journal of Pittsburgh; Joseph Baron- dess, a member of the New York City board of education, and Hugh Frayne, general organizer of the American Federation of Labor, who has just been named a member of the Natfonal ‘War Industries board. Offices will be opened at 280 Broadway this week and immediately the work of organ- izing branches of the alliance all over the country will be begun. The alli- ance will conduct an extensive pub- licity campaign. It was asserted on behalf of the al- liance that it was considered that the success of the socialistic propaganda already under way in the United States would work to the benefit of the enemies of the nation. The alliance will give full attention to all labor ac- tivities throughout the country and the full strength of this outgrowth of the Federation of Labor will be di- rected at keeping the industrial strength of the nation at the maxi- mum. Mr, Gompers, it is asserted hy his friends, is determined that nothing he can do’ will be left undone to re- deem the pledges the labor leaders gave last March that there would be no true charge made against the pa- triotism of American labor. ate coun- | DEATHS AND YUNERALS.

ARMY EXAMINATION RULES ARE ISSUED Also Tell Why Certain Gandidates Should Be Exempt ‘Washington, July 30.—A list the disabilities on whieh a man should be exempted from the selec- tive draft army will shortly be in the hands of the physicians who are to make the physical examinations. The rules prescribe that all men presenting themselves for examina- tion must be stripped. A standard height, weight and chest measurement is first set forth for the guidance of the physicians. These figures range from a height of five feet and one inch to six feet and six inches. The standard weight for a man five feet and cne inch tall is given as 118 pounds, his chest deflat- ed at thirty-one inches and inflated at thirty-three inches. For a man six feet six inches tall the standard weight is 211 pounds, chest 38 1-4, and expassion four inches. Variations in weight and expansion are permissable for qualification as follows: Height, 61 to 64 inches, a variation of 8 pounds and 1 inch chest expan- sion; 64 to 68 inches tall, 10 pounds and 2 inches; 58 to 69 inches, 12 pounds and 2 inches; 69 to 70 inches, 16 pounds and 2 inches; 70 to 73, 20 pounds and 2 inches; 73 inches and over, 24 pounds variation' in weight and 2 inches in expansion. To be acceptable for military serv- jce a man below 5 feet and 4 inches in height, the rules direct, must be “of good physique, well developed and muscular. “Unless exceptionally well propor- tioned,” the rules also say, ‘‘men above 6 feet and 6 inches in height should be rejected.” Causes for Rejection. Causes given in the rules for rejec- tion of men for military service in- clude the following: Mental, lack of normal understand- ing, Skin, chronic, contagious and para- sitic diseases, when severe and exten- sive, chronic ulcers, deep or extensive. Head, abrupt depression in skull, the consequence of old fracture. Spine, curvatures, caries, abscess, lateral curvature is cause for rejec- tion when it exceeds one inch to either side. Ears, all forms. of obitis media; per- foration of tympanum. Eyes, acuity of vision below stand- ardized requirements, conjunctival af- fection, including trachoma and en- tropia, Strabismus and other affec- tions affecting clear vision. Mouth, nose and faces, deformities interfering with mastication or speech chronic ulcerations, fissues, or per- forations of the hard palate; hyper- trophy of the tonsils sufficient to in- terfere with the respiration or phon- of voice or manifest alter- ation of it, Four Good Molars Required. Teeth—At least four serviceable molars required on each side of jaw, two above and two below; good fitting bridge or plate where not more than one-half of the teeth are involved is not disqualifying. Neck—Pronounced goitre, great en- largement or ulcerations of the cervi- cal glands. Chest—All chronic diseases of lungs and heart. Abromen—Chronic inflation of the gastro-intestinal tract, including chronic diarrhoea, dysentery and oth- er diseases of the contained organs All genitro-urinary diseases, hemor- rhoids of pronounced type, prolapsus, fistula and fissures. Other ailments included in the list are rheumatism, diseases of the joints of disabling type, irreducible or false joints, severe strains, atrophy paraly- sis, permanent contraction of the muscles, etc. Hands, webbed fingers, extension or loss of motion of one or more fingers; loss or serious mutilation of either thumb; total loss of any two fingers of the same hand; loss of sec- ond and third phalanges of all fin- gers of either haad. Legs and feet, varicose veins, pro- nounced knock knees, club feet, web h“el' webbed toes, bunions, overriding of | tion, at a recent or marked displacement or of any of the toes; hammer toes. The rules further admonish the ex- emption boards that the afflictions listed as disqualifying men for ser- vice must be present in such a degree as to ‘“clearly and unmistakably dis- qualify the man for military service.” The date for the draft of the new army is still withheld, and may not be announced until next week, owing to delays by exemption boards in completing their registered lists. It is the purpose of the government to release men from service only for actual disability. This also is appar- ent in a portion of the regulations which declares that temporary effects of acute diseases or of any injury are not to be regarded as justifying a finding that the p2rson so affacted is physically deficient and not physically qualified for military service. Temporary disability of this kind, 1 deformity however, the rules prescribe, “may he regarded as justifying a reasonable de- lay in completing the physical exami- nation in order that epportunity for recovery may be afforded.” Many Demand Exemptions, Judging from telegrams and letters pouring in by the hundreds on New York congressmen and representatives and senators from states all over the Union, the number of exemptions in the draying of the men on the selec- tive draft because of occupations es- sential to the prosecution of the war is going to be Very much higher than has been supposed. A New York member was sur- prised today at a letter from a prominent soap manufacturer in New York, who pointed out that in all the European countries at war it has been considered vitally essential, as a mat- ter of national sanitation, to keep the soap factories in full operation. This flood of applications on top of the announcement by Secretary of War Baker that not only would the first increment of 687,000 and the second increment of 500,000 men be raised from the present drawing, but that the ranks would be kept full out of the list thus obtained, adds to the certainty that virtually every man who is registered and has no good excuse for exemption will find himself in a uniform unless peace comes sooner than any one really hopes for. CYOLE DRIVER IMPROVES. Plantsville Man Hits Head-On. A Harley-Davidson motor-cycle driven by Frank Radsky of Plants- ville crashed into two automobiles driven by Walter F. Dehm of 45 Griswold street and F. W. Loomis of 112 Harrison street Saturday night. Radsky was seriously injured and his machine reduced to a pile of junk. He was taken to the General Hospital, where it was said this afternoon that he was much better. His injuries con- sist of bruises and lacerations about the head and face. The accident occurred near the wa- tering trough on West Main street. According to neighbors the two auto- mobiles were going west at a moder- ate speed while Radsky was coming eastward about 40 miles an hour. The motorcycle was on the left hand side of the road and carried a passenger on the back seat, although Radsky says he does not know who it was. At any rate the motorcycle crashed into the Dehm machine first and then side swiped the Loomis machine. Radsky was thrown off (he motorcycle and was picked up by Dehm, who took him to the hospital. The automobiles were not badly damaged. |3 Two Autos ELEVEN MEN DIE IN FIRE. Flames Sweep Lumber Section Near Fernie, British Columbia. Fernie, B.

Financial STREET’S TENDENGY TOWARD REDUGTION Gains Made in Early Trading Are Quickly Wiped Out B Wall street—War shares and equip- ments formed the bulk of today's early dealings. The more prominent issues showed gains ranging from large fractions to a point. Steels, Baldwin Locomotive, Industrial Alco- hol and Ohio Gas were most active but shippings and motors were irreg- ular or reactionary. Rails and cop- pers retained all of their recent slug- gish tendencies. Most gains were lost before the end of the first hour, sales for that period barely exceeding 100,000 shares, with greater dullness and further reces- sions later. U. S. Steel reacted 1 1-4 points and other industrials yielded sympathetically. The new features of comparative strength included Marine preferred and Alcohol at gains of 1 and 2 respectively. Oils and sugars comprised the heavy! specialties and rail also fell back. Bonds were. irregular but Liberty 31-2's were liberally traded in at 99.33 to 99 45. 21-2 point setback, St. Paul's renewed heaviness, 1 to 2 point recessions in tobaccos and irregular changes in more representative stocks failed to relieve the monotony of the mid-session. Closing—Equipments and shippings led the general recovery of the final hour. The closing was strong. Sales approximated 325,000 shares.
