OFFERED DECREASE INSTEAD OF RAISE,
 WORKERS CLAIM
Columbia Nut & Bolt Go. Employees Stick to First
 Demands.

Yesterday the strikers at the Colunn- bia Nut and Bolt Go. in Railroad ave- nue were paid off and last night they held meeting in Eagles hall to con- slider the situation and decide on fur ther action. According to R. A. Chase, chairman of the shop co1nrnittee, the men are resolved not to return to work until the company grants their de- mands. MT. Chase said today:
 Fred Atwater, the treasurer of the company stopped one of our pickets today and told him that was trying to keep the men from earning living. am on strike and am losing twice as much each day. I am out as any of tic strikers. earn 40 cents per hour where the other men earn but 20 cents per hour MT. Atwater told us the office door was always open and we will probably have 8 conference with him tomorrow. He is always pleasant and always asks ua how we are get ting along when he passes. However, we are not satisfied with the offer he made us.
 1T am authorized by my fellow work CTS to say that there were no demands made to Mir. Atwater or Mir. Cooper asking them to recognize the union or a grievance committee. MT. Atwater's offer to grant the 48 hours with the ten per. cent. increase in wages is not an increase; it is a decrease man getting 20 cents an hour for ten hours gets g; for eight hours, s1.6o; with ten per cent. increase, $1-76. 4 man work ing on this basis would lose A cents every eight hours he worked and the more man gets per hour the more he loses.
 The committee and the strikers of the Columbia Nut and Bolt Go. con- sider they have been fair to the com pany and will be long as the com pany is fair to them.''
 Following is a copy of the demands which was handed to Mr.Atwater Sat- urday in typewriter form:

Aug. 24- tvia London. )-After inspecting earl fer this week the Turkish front in the new area of hostilitfes at Salt Lake, where the British landed troops this month. The Associated Press correspondent has visited Sed- duI Bahr at the tip of the peninsula on the other end of the line. Con ditions at Seddu1 Bahr have remain ed virtually unchanged since the cor respondents last visit in June, with the exception of immateriaT losses and gains of ground on both sides. These changes involve about 500 yards of trenches.
 In the interval the Turks have greatly improved their earthworks and bettered their positions in other respects, especially by posting artiI- 1ery, including heavy batteries, in ad- vantageous positions across the straits on the Anato1ian shore.
 According to Information from a trustworthy source, the losses of the allies have been very heavy.
 Owing to the effective fire of the Turkish artillery near Seddu1 Bahr, the allies recently were obliged to remove several large camps.
 There has been no rain since June. Water is extremely scarce and the dust on the peninsula is. unbearabIe.
 Since August, 21 the action of the allies has been confined to weak ar- -tiIIery fire Enver Pasha, Turkish Minister of, War, is here with his staff. He expressed great satisfac- tion with the position of the Turks.

 @One of our submarines on August 16 destroyed by gunfire the benzol fac tory with the attached benzo1 ware houses and coke furnaces near liar r1ngfon, England. The statement of the British press that the submarine attacked the open towns of Hafring- ton, Parton and White Haven is in- exact.
 ssThe same submarine on August Is the Irish sea by large passenger steamer, probably a Royal Mail steam packet, but was not hit

realize that thousands of the best and bravest union men are to-day out of employment for the very reason that the craft form of labor organiza- tion has failed to protect its members through not keeping abreast of in dustrial progress. Although the evil arising from the use of large power has been manifest and increasing for many years, no effective steps have been attempted by our weak craft unions to arrest the injustice coming upon those deserving men, who in turn have depended these same crafts for livelihood.
 ''The representative committes of these crafts. the general and joint boards of adjustment, the grand lodge officers, and conventions have been stunned and bewfldered by the effects arising from industrial evoIu- tion.E And in the very fact of still larger locomotives, witf1 yet more 1a- Dor djsp1acing machinery and more unem pIoymcnt, these bodies remain awestricken and helpless.
 Meetings to Be Arranged.
 "Our members, wherever located, should arrange at once for the calling of meetings of all railroad employees who are members of craft unions for the purpose of allowing all to consult together freely and discuss the fornna- ton of that most powerful of labor unions, the Industrial Labor Union.
 ''In order that this form of labor union may come into being with the least possible friction we should pre- serve our several orders as we have them at present, but at once weld them into one fighting unit, as a means of recovering lost opportuni- ties, carrying out our future program to stimulate the study of labor prob 1ems and to insure a brighter future. A moments reflection will demon strate to even the thought1ess that only in this manner can the forces of labor be united and directed to bettr advantage in the future than in the past.
 'tIn the face of these unsolved prob 1ems, therefore, let us devote every effort to extending these meetings, into every terminal on this system, then to other railr oadsystems, and with all possible speed. to the end that may be restored and Jus- tice done to al1."
