LABOR PROTESTS
AGAINST PASSAGE
OF "DRAFT" BILL
National Council So Goes
on Recoud Irish Lead
ers in Opposition
TO BE "RAILROADED"
Government Expects Act to Be
on Statute Books by First
of February
LONDON. Jan. G.
Lnbor lenders struck a heavy blow
against conscription today. A resolution
protestlnc- "In tlin nnmi nf s.imopn imrtna
I unionists" ngalnst compulsory enlistment,
J nni Introduced by the Executive Com-
mince wnen me national Lrfibor Congress
met In Centrnl Hall, Westminster.
By a vote of i to 1 delegates voted clown
nn amendment to make it compulsory
for single men of military service to at
test their willingness to enlist. Delegates
representing 2.121.0CO union workers In the
United Kingdom voted ngnlnst the amend
ment, while delegates representing 641,000
union workers voted for It. The amend
ment wns Introduced In eonnoetlon with
I a resolution condemning conscription,
i Thoro nro 000 delegates present at '.ie
i Labor Congress, representing 100 unions,
I with nn approximates membership of 3,-
It Is Impossible to predict the fate of
tho conscription bill. Although Its pas
sage Is In somo quarters believed almost
assured, many observers think that It
will satisfy neither tho compulslonlsts,
who believe It Insufficient, nor the volun-
! tnrlsts who, determined on the question
or principle, uphold tho "British birth
right of freedom" and oppose every form
of compulsion.
In splto of bitter opposition In the
House of Commons ngnlnst tho mllltnry
service bill, providing modified conscrip
tion, Gotrnmcvit loaders dcclnrcd today
that Its Immediate passage would be
pressed, and predicted that It would be
upnn thfj statute books by February 1.
Members of the Government are op
posed under the leadership of Sir John
Simon, resigned Home Secrotnry, nml tho
Irish party with John Dillon nnd John
Redmond ns spokesmen, registered objec
tions, after the Premier had proposed the
bill In Commons. Lord Kitchener made a
strong speech In favor ot the bill.
Considering the compulsion bill in the
light of tho general effect, Mr. Asqulth
said, ho would havo been glnd to do
without It. He had expressed tho expec
tation that tho bill would not be neces
sary, but his hope had not been realized.
Ho considered that the bill was necessary,
and was sangulno enough to believe that
when Its provisions were understood It
would have tho good fortuno to receive
something like general assent.
The Rt. Hon Charles E. Hobhouse,
one of the antl-conscrlptlonlsts, said that
ns tho Prime Minister had declared that
tho bill wns vital to the continuance of
tho war ho could not nssume the respon
sibility of opposing It. He, however,
nRkeil .the. Government to give, assurance
ttnttHlils'itempOTary 'measure was "not'to"
bo the preliminary to a permanent meas
ure. Jnmes Henry Thomas, Labor member
for Derby, opposed the bill. He said:
"There li a deep-rooted suspicion In tho
minds of the workmen of the country thnt
conscription hns been forced on the Gov
ernment, not with a view to winning tho
war, nor becnuso of Its military value,
but becauso a certain section of the
press "
Tho remainder of the sentence was lost
amid, cries of "Oh! Oh!" from all sides
of tho House.
Andrew Bonnr Law, Secretary for tho
Colonics, tn supporting the bill, closed
with tho dcclaintion:
"The Premier fs convinced that com
pulsion is a matter of national necessity,
and If the House decides that no national
necessity exists, then tho House must
make up Its mind that the war will have
to be finished without the assistance of
tho present Premier."
John Redmond said: "It Is with the
greatest regret that I have to announce
thnt my party cannot support the bill.
Ireland regards this as her war and sho
will stop at no sacrlllce to bring It to a
speedy and successful Issue. Nobody,
however, has shown that this bill Is
necessary for this purpose, Premier As
qulth himself having declared it was
needed to fulfil a certain pledge which
he had given.
"I believe we have today more soldiers
than we can train, equip and provide
with otlicers." j

LEAGUE ISLAND CALLED
SUPERIOR TO N.Y. YARD
Admiral Stanford Says It Is
Better Equipped to Repair
Ships in Time of War
Bu a Staff Garrttoondtnt
WASHINGTON, Jan. .-That the Phlla.
delphlu Navy Yard Is In much better
shape to repair battleships In time of war
than the Brooklyn Navy Yard and others
along the Atlantic coast, was the testi
mony ot Admiral Stanford, chief of the
Bureau of Yards and Docks, when he ap
peared beforo the House Naval Affairs
Committee today, while making a whole
sale attack on the condition of the east
coast navy yards.
Representative Browning, of N,ew Jer
sey, one of the Republican members of
the committee, asked the Admiral whether
the channel to the Philadelphia yard was
not deep enough and open for the expe
ditious handling of battleships. He re
plied that It was.
The fact that a serious condition exists
at the Brooklyn yard which might render
it virtually useless for docking and re
pairing battleships of the first class In
time of war, has been called to the at
tention of Congress by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, as well as Admiral Stan
ford. It became known today that Secretary
Daniels has written a letter to Speaker
Clark and Vice President Marshall, In
which he urges Immediate action to cor
rect the "menace" which exists at Brook
lyn. The trouble Is due to poor ap
proaches tq the yard.
'There Is not sufficient water In tho
ship channels," Secretary Daniels wrote,
"to Insure the entering or leaving of the
first-class battleships at all times. At
present only one battleship can be han
dled per day, and then only provided the
water conditions are normal. It the winds
are such as to blow the water out of
New York Bay, then the depth of water
In the approach channel ' not sufficient
to navlzato safely a. Urge ship."
CROWN OF LIGHT
NIGHTLY ON CITY
HALL, GREAT 'AD'
Evening Ledger's Scheme
Warmly Approved by
Electric Chief
COST WOULD BE SMALL
McLaughlin Takes Up Details
of Plan to Submit to Di
rector and Mayor
Citu Hall Illumination
Would Make City of Glory
The Evening Ledcek suggests
nn illumination of City Hall every
night in the year.
Suggestion wins tho emphatic
npproval of James F. McLaughlin,
Cluef of the Electricnl Bureau.
It would be a wonderful adver
tisement, he says.
He believes in lighting Billy
Penn in a way to make every
visitor remember Billy always.
Every side of the' City Hall
would blaze out a welcome in all
directions.
Cost would be nominal.
"It is fine! It is splendid!" is
the way Chief McLaughlin sums
it up.
Every New Year's Eve the thousands
of Phlladelphlnns who come downtown to
eclobrnto tho birth ot tho new year nto
struck with the wonder and the beauty
of City Hall In Its Illumination.
That Illumination, upon suggestion by
the KvENtNci LcnntSR, Is In a fnlr way to
becomo a nightly nffalr.
Tho new chief of the Kleclilcal Bu
reau, James F. McLaughlin, fell In with
tho Idea as soon as It was suggested to
him today, nnd Is going to work out a
plan In full detail and then present It to
his Immediate BUiWior, Director of Pub
lic Safety William H. Wilson, nnd then
take It up with Mayor Smith.
"That's a fine Idea," said Chief Mc
Laughlin, when an EvcNma Leihier rep
resentative broached tho subject. "Thnt
certainly Is a tine Idea," nnd he clenched
his fist nnd struck out In his pungnaclotis
way na It to fight already any ono who
would oppose tho plan.
He became enthusiastic.
"What nn advertisement for the city
thnt would be," ho said. "Why, wo could
do oven hotter than tho New Year's Illu
mination. Wo could light up this City
Hall In a wny that would shout out n
greeting to tho North nnd South and Enst
nnd West: wo could Just make It ring
with light, and It would bo a treat and
a delight to bcb It,
"Tho whole central part of tho city
would look different. It would give our
downtown a featuro so distinctive that
Philadelphia would bo talked about In tho
whole United States.
"Just think what a grand spectacle we
could make of Billy Penn by enveloping
him In n shower of light that would burn
as a whlto attraction for miles and miles
around."
"But how about the cost of all this,
chief?" Mr. McLaughlin was asked.
He waved away the question, deprecat
ingly. "Merely nominal, merely nominal," ho
answered.
"We've got everything right hero In
the City Hnll. Tho upkeep In that ad
ditional lighting would amount to almost
nothing In the long run. The additional
power used would not be an appreciable
Item of expense. Wo don't pay anybody
for the electricity wo uso hero In the City
Hall. Wo furnish our own power. Tho
plant Is all here.
"There Is absolutely everything to be
Bald In fnvor of tho continual Illumin
ation and nothing to be said against It.
It's a splendid Idea. It's the best Idea
I've heard.
"Other cities brag ab-mt their features
of Illumination which tho business men
contribute. In New York It's the wonder
ful lighting effects of tho advertising
signs on Broadway you hear about; the
business advertisements and the theatres
and cafes. In Chicago It's the same on
State and Randolph streets. But here wo
could nave something bigger nnd finer,
and the whole city could tako a pride In
It because it would belong to tho city.
"We could make It better, too, than wo
do on New Year's Eve. There we give

To comply with the regulations fixed
by the German Government in granting
permission to the pacifists to travel
through Germany to The Hague, the dele,
gates removed from their baggage all
books, letters, cards; in fuct everything
(hat might causo trouble If tho baggage
were examined.
Several of the travelers have taken volu.

they decided to pack up the documents
and send them to tho United States by
mall. Some who were In doubt shipped
back to the United States a considerable
portion ot their traveling equipment, tak
ing with them only enough to last them
to The Hague.
Because some airily clad "classic" danc
