some degree OF violence.
According to the Italian official state
ment the artillery fire has been espe-

against the Italian positions in the Be-
den Valley and the other against the

In spite OF heavy snowfalls the ar

PRESIDENT MAY RAISE
NAVY MACHINISTS' PAY
Will Confer Tomorrow With
Secretary Daniels on De-
mands Of Union.

W~AsHINGToN. Sept. 4.-The interests
Of all machinists employed at United
States navy yards may be affected by
n conference which will take place on
Monday between President Wilson and
Secretary OF the Navy Daniels.
The specific purpose Of the confer
ence Is to discuss the demands
OF the m~achinists OF the Wash
ington avy yard for an increase
OF pay. II is understood. how
ever. on the authority Of persons ia
miliar with the plans OF the machinists
union. that much more is involved thar
the situation in the Washington yard
alone.
The mol officers feel that the Navy
Department in the near future must
grant considerable increases Of pay to
machinists employed Mt The yards on
account OF conditions In this country,
largely the result OF the European war.
They accordingly are proceeding on a
very dehnit plan, said to have for its
objective a general Increase TO be at
tained before another year has passed.
II is contended by the machinists
that there Is a shortage Of men familiar
with such work as is done in the Wash
ington and other navy yards. II II as
serted that thousands OF machlnists
went to Europe to work In arms and
munitions and shipbuildlng plants IN
the early part of the war. while war
contracts since placed in the United
States have increased the shortage In
this country.
Consequently. the mschinists claim
wages ave risen, and II is contended
that the Navy Department must meet
his rise by increasing the pay in Gov
eminent plants.
