LABOR TROUBLES MULTIPLY
Crisis to be Met in Philadelphia in
the Near Future.

Philadelphia, Pa, July PA Ia
Dor crisis in this city will have to be
met in the immediate future follow
ing the settlement of the threateRied
strike in Bridgeport, CT, OF all ma
chine shops making ammunition. Inc
most serious strike in the history OF
Philadelphia will be called if the de-
mands of worknen employed by firms
engaged in the making of war mat
terials here are not granted, is the
opinion of labor leaders.
Coincident with the statement OF
Secretary Morrison, of the American
Federation of Labor, in Washington
that the Federation cared nothing for
the basic cause of the Bridgeport
strike, but intended to avail itself
to the fullest of this dissatisfaction
among the men, officials here guard
edly admitted that preparations were
well under way for a Complete re-
organization of the relations now IN
fore ebetween labor and capital, and
that this reorganization would be
forced upon employers, If necessary
with a series of strikes of grave I'M
portance.
"Labor," said an official OF the
Building Trades Council, "is recelv-
ing from all of the large plants about
IS per cent. less wages than individ-
ual contractors are paying. All the
world knows that immense sums OF
money are pouring into the Golfers
of the manufacturer, of munitions IN
this country"

LINERS. TO DEFY CRUISERS?
Ships informed Here Are Being Put
in Condition

Baltimore, July 21-Inferences
drawing from the fact that the two
North German Lloyd liners, Rhein and
Main, interned at this port since the
beginning of the war, are undergoing
repairs and painting at the Baltimore
and Ohio pier at Locust Point, are
that their officers are preparing to
make dash for the Atlantic and
the Fatherland. In order to do this
would be forced to run gauntlet of
American and British cruisers near
the Virginia Capes.
Captain Meyer, or one of the ships,
asked yesterday to explain why the
vessels were being painted and put
into shape, said that he believed with
the Kaiser that there would be peace
in October, and that the officers were
trimming up the steamships for the
return to Germany. This explana-
ton has not been sufficiently con-
vincing to residents of Locust Point
nor to shipping men, even If it has
seemingly served to keep the, customs
officials inactive.
1t is the general belief in shipping
circles that the German commanders
are daily gaining more confidence in
the submarine patrol and would con-
slider themselves safe, after having
eluding the American customs officials
or battleships, as the case may be.

ARTILLERY DENT S
GERMAN FRONT
NEAR P|LktM
First SIight Gain for Allies in
Many Days Fighting
EXPECT TEUTONS TO ATTACK
Reports Indicate That Kaiser Hopes
to Repeat GaIician Successes
on Western Front.

London, July G.-British troops,
aided by French field guns and NOR
tars. have made a dent in the Ger
man lines near Pilkem, TO the north
of Ypres. Trenches on a 200-yard
front have been carried at this point
in Flanders, where the extreme Brit
sh left links up with a French force
and where the Germans made their
great onslaught with gas last April,
driving the Allies back two to three
miles
The gain, though slight, derives inn
portance from its being the first
break in many days in the relative
quiet on the British front in Fland-
ers. The French War Office, which
puts stress on the attack in both the
afternoon and night bulletins, reports
that the Germans have already made
several counter attacks on the Brit
ish, but without result
General Sir John French in his Of
fetal statement TO the British War
Office. says that the Germans are us
ing gas shells in that section.
Rumors reach London from several
sources that the Germans are plan
ming to launch new offensive in the
West, their aim being TO duplicate
their Galician tactics and break
through to Calais at all costs.
Reports to this effect have come al.
most simultaneously from Zurich,
BRUSSELS. Paris. and Amsterdam,
According TO the Zurich report ten
German army corps. who have heen
recuperating in the interior from the
rigors Of the Galician campaign. are
now moving westward

RUSSIANS ST|FFEN
LINES TO SAVE
WARSAW
AuSttO- German Rush Losing Some
Of its Momentum
AUSTfIANS CLAIM SUCCESSES
Say Their Armies Have Advanced
Near Tarnogora and on vistuIa
and Bug Rivers.

London, Wednesday, July with
the exceptions of certain sections be-
tween the Vistula and the Bug, the
AustroGerman rush in the eastern
war zone seems to be losing its
momentum. The Russians have brac
ed themselves and are holding at
most points along their line, al
though the Austrians claim continued
progress to the northeast of Krasnik,
and further east, along the River
Wieprz. in the neighborhood of Tar
nogora.
This is critical section so far as
a northward blow at Warsaw is con
cerEeai, but il is evident that the
Russians are stiffening their resist
ance after their long retreat, and the
British press. for the first time in
weeks. takes more cheerful view of
the eastern situation.
II is noteworthy that today's Ber-
lin official communication speaks on
ly of gain on the northern Poland
front, leaving the southeastern field
entirely to the Austrians who in their
official statement emphasize that an
advance on the center between the
Nistula and the Bug was made by
"Austrians."
