EFFORT TO END WAR EXPORTS
Case Of Wisconsin Manufacturer Of
=, Shrapnel Shell involves
Foreign Policy.

Washington, May 3.-The applica-
ton of state power in a mariner that
will have bearing on the interna-
tional relations of the United States
has again been raised by the action
brought against the Allis- Chalmers
company Of Milwaukee.
Under the so-called discovery
statute, Samuel Pearson, of Wisconsin,
files complaint to determine whether
or not this company and the Bethle-
hem Steel company can ship shrapnel
shell to European belligerents con-
trary to the Wisconsin law.
Inasmuch as the administration has
declared that to prevent the shipment
of munitions of war to the belliger.
ents would be an unneutral act, action
by state government in opposition
to this policy would be equivalent to
the exercise of sovereign power of gov
ernment and would constitute the
state of Wisconsin as the American
agency for dealing with foreign affairs
affecting the country as whole.

Washington, May 3.-That the
Democratic national administration in

Ten persons are known to be dead

London, May 3.-After serious night

ing to an official statement just issued.
have established themselves on the
Gallipoli peninsula and advanced a
considerable distance toward the mar
rows of the Dardanelles, where the
French have cleared Cape Kun kaleh
on the Asiatic side of Turkey.
1t may be said that the second and
most serious attempt to force the OAR
danelles has been fairly launched.
The Turks, under the guidance of
their German officers. placed every OBJ
stacle in the way OF the invaders, but
against the fire of the Allied fleet and
the gallantry of the army they were
forced to fall back. The British forces
lost heavily in the operation.
Land at Six Points.
Six points we're selected for the
landings, which commenced at day
light. At five points they were i'm.
mediately successful, but at the sixth,
near Seddul Bahr. the troops were un-
able to advance until the evening. The
British troops disembarked at the ex-
IRENE end Of the peninsula. They
reached Krithia, which is on the road
which runs along the peninsula and
over which they will Join their CON-
rades from the oversee dominions and

Fleet Covers Landing.
While this was proceeding, the feet,
besides covering the landing of the
troops, kept up bombardmeut of the
forts in the Dardanelles and prevented
re-enforcements from reaching Turkey
from the Sea of Marmora. One Turk.
ish troop ship was sunk by the British
battleship Queen Elizabeth, which is
believed again to have been firing her
big guns across the peninsula, directed
by airlnen. The troop ship was sunk
off Maidos, a town well inside the mar
rows, which latter the battleship Tri.
umph bombarded and set on fire.
} Allies Capture 500 Men.
The official account of the landing
Of the Allied troops does not bear out
the over-optimistic reports from Gre
clan towns which preceded it and
which mentioned thousands of prison.
ers as having been captured, the total
OF men taken by the Allies having been
given as 500. These were cut off by
the fire OF the ships. Neither does the
report mention operations off Smyrna
nor in the Gulf of Saros, against the
Bulair line of forts, but it is certain
that these points are being watched to
present re-enforcements reaching the
Turks.

Brands Action 40 Failure.

Chicago. May 3.-An arbitration
award, advancing to some extent the
rates of pay Of $4,000 locomotive en-
gineers. firemen and hostlers employed
on the 100000 miles of line of 50 west
ern railroads in the great area of the
United States and Canada bounded on
the east by the Illinois Central and the
Great Lakes, has been signed here.
A dissenting opinion was filed on be-
half of the Brotherhood of Enginemen,
in which the arbitration was branded
as failure and the Newlands law
under which It was arranged an in
adequate device for the settlement of
industrial disputes. The award, ef-
fective May 10. and binding for one
year only, was frankly declared as
merely postponing for IL months the
actual settlement of the differences in
volved. The railroad members of the
board issued formal statement criti-
Ching features of the regulations gov
erning the arbitration and remarking
that certain concessions regarded as
intrinsicly unjust were made for the
sake of preserving peace with the en-
ployes.
Board Chairman Explains.
Judge Peter G. Pritchard, of Rich
mond, Va, chairman of the board, ex-
planned his position, and stated that
while in'his opinion the men in certain
branches of the service were entitled
to greater advances than were grant
ed, he had to make concessions in
order that an award might be made
and he found much of a hopeful nature
in the award.
Charles Nagel, of st. Louis, former
secretary of commerce and labor, who,
with Judge Pritchard, represented the
board of mediation and Cancellation on
the arbitration board, was the only
member who issued no statement.
The brotherhoods were represented
on the board by F. A. Burgess, of
Louisville. KY, assistant grand chief
engineer of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, and Timothy Shea,
of Peoria, ILL.,, vice-president of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen
