Paris, July 23.-The French war department today gave out the follow ing communication:
 ssThe night was considerably dis turbed at several points along the front. In Artuis, the neighborhood of Souchez, there was violent cannon ading and grenade fighting.
 Between the Disc and the Aisne, in tlse region of Quennevierres and on the plateau of Mouvron, on the right bank of the Aisne, near Soupfer and on the Champagne front svra1 ar tillery sections also were reported.
 'tOn the right there was gun. fir ing in the region of Bagatel1e where one of our companies succeeded yes terday in seizing part of an enemy trench, thus strengthening the front to our advantage.
 ''Pont-In- Mousson was interrnit- tently bomparded during the night
 ''In the region of Arras a strong hostile accommodating attack was turned by our infantry and artillery.
 ''In the Vosges an attempted Ger man attack against our positions southward of the Faye was easily re- pulsed. @
 ..The positions we had won to the east of MetzeraI on the crest of the Linge and Barrenkopf were subjected to a very violent boTnbardment. The enemy momentarily succeeded in penetrating part of our lines but were driven out by an energetic counter attack on our part.''

 The Stewart Construction CO and the Remington Co. are getting to- eether- When this first trouble start Fed5 one company said see the other, and the other referred us back to the fiarst one. As for the sub-contractors, we believe they will get in line. If we have trouble in their saops,' the shops will be dealt with Individuality We are going to get an eight hour day for Bridgeport; we are determined to do that. And we also will make all New England get under an, eight hour scale
 T believe the negotiations will be entirely successful unless Samuel Gompers conpIicates things when he comes to town tomorrow.
 The proposition will be put up to the nachinists themselves tomorrow Then it will be put up to the Stewa-z Construction Co- and the Remington Manufacturing Go. Everything will have to be ratified.
 As for the question of the status of the nlillwrights, that also will be set ted I understand 1t will be taken up at the meeting called by MT. Gompers tomorrow. Mir. Gompers will not dis cuss the strike when he sees Major Penfe1d. In addition to that, the car penters who claimed Jurisdiction over

We are all go- ing to get together and make an effort to settle the question of Jurisdiction. We will hold a meting in New York tonight for that purpose.
 Tt is victory for us because by this strike we have gained several things. When we finish we will have assurances of an eight hour day in the Remington plants. The girls in the Union Metallic Cartridge plant have been given increases that will bring their wages up, in some eases, to $11.4o whereas before they received $7 .25 They also will have the eight hour day. The 125 girls who went on strike returned to work today.
 This thing will cost the Remington people a lot of money, but they will gain much by it. Primarily they will secure the cream of the workers of New England There is a great scar city of good machinfsts. The machin- ists, learning that the Remington plant is working on an eight hour schedule. will leave the shops where they are now working ten hours and come to the Remington plant

FOUR HUNDRED FACTORIES IN
 U. s. ARE MARKED FOR STRIKES
E. J. Deering of New York, Prominent In Machinist Labor Circles, Says Bridgeport Affair Is Merely First Gun Tn Nation idle Battle for Better Condi- tions.

Assuming that the strike in Bridge port had developed into a victory for organized labor over the manufac- turers who held out against better wages and an eight-hour day. Busi- ness Manager B. J. Deering of the New York District of the Interna- tional Machinists' association, de- cIared yesterday that 400 factories in the United States making war muni- tions will be closed if the unions de- mands are not met.
 A continent-wide strike is planned, according to Manager Deering, unless the concessions are granted. One of the first victories obtained in the movement was at the big Brooklyn plant Of E. W. Bliss & Go, where the concern acceded to the requests of it's workers.
 Oncers of the organization admit ted yesterday that the strike at the Remington plant in Bridgeport and the Bliss Go. strike are only the first guns in a campaign for better condi- tions. and possibly war bonuses, which has already been started, and which will involve the majority of factories in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
 An eight-hour day, and an in- crease of wages to the minimum set by the union, will be the demand made to the manufacturers. Because of the terms promised by the Reming- ton Co, which granted the striking machlnists approximately a 20 per cent. increase over the union wage scale, it is expected that in future strikes similar bonus will be de- manded in view of the rush in pro- auction caused by the war contracts.
 The campaign of strikes has been planned for some time It was scheduled to begin early in the fall, and the Bliss plant was the one se- lected for the opening. The strike of the carpenters and joiners at the Remington plant, however, offered an unusual opportunity for the ma chinists to make their demands and the campaign was begun immediately.
 ssThe Bliss Go. was chosen because it is the only large factory in Greater New York which is not giving it's men the eigft-hour day we demand" de- cIared Business Manager B. J. Deer ing of the New York district of the

Summary
 OF THE War News

The Strength of the outlying defenses of Warsaw appears to have checked. for the present at least, the impetuosfty of the Teu- tonic drive on the Polish capt- tai.
 Driven back on the fortress Ivangorod, southeast of the city, the Russian line is still maintain ed at that point, so far as the lat est official reports show. It is ; 5wavering along, the curving front extending northwest around the city. Berlin clainsS but has not yet been broken. while. from the fortress of #Novo Georgievsk along north the Russians are battling desperately against the surging German tide.
 To the southeast the great arm les of Field Marshal Won Mac kenzen are still engaged in mighty thrust for the strategic Lublin-Chelm railroad line. Both official and unofficial accounts agree that the fighting here IS des- perate and that the issue has not yet been decided.
 On nearly all other fronts the Russians, while fighting hard, are falling back. statements from the various capitals of the belhger- ents indicate. -4ssT t3.aF
 Despatches to Berlin newspa- pers declare the capture of Lub- lin and Chelm is considered only a question of a brief time. The bravery of the Russian troops and the strong resistance they are showing in the face of lack of sufficient ammunition is prais- ed.
 The struggle of the Italians for Gorizia is proceeding. Claims Of advances made by Rome are de- nied in Vienna.
 There have been few recent op- erations of importance along the fronts in France and Belgium.
 It, is reported in Rome that Turko-Germ forces have been landed in Tripoi.
