Senator Johnson Opposes Calling Children to Fight
Senator Johnson of California spoke against drafting 18 and 19 year olds, warning passage would send many children to death. Senator O Daniel Texas pushed amendments to end the 40 hour work week and grade overtime pay, while the senate delayed final action and sent the bill back to military committee amid multiple proposed amendments. The wet and dry liquor issue faded as a vote to ban sales at military posts stalled, with Lee’s amendment likely to linger in committee.

Nazi Captives Resistance to Shackles Told
OTTAWA Oct 23 German war prisoners at Bowmanville Ontario attempted to resist reprisal shacklings October 10 and submitted only after serious disorders in which both prisoners and guards were injured. Some barricaded themselves in their barracks and refused to obey orders until guards cut a roof hole and sprayed them with a fire hose. One prisoner was wounded by a rifle bullet and two suffered light bayonet wounds. Mild resistance occurred at one other camp. no trouble at the remaining 13 camps. The shackling order followed German claims of fettering 1873 British captives from Dieppe. The incident was kept secret to avoid Nazi reprisals and a Time article led to American démarches. The Canadian government says guards acted without machine guns or tear gas. a shooting warning occurred when prisoners assaulted an officer. A bullet ricocheted, injuring a prisoner in the leg.
