GERMAN REVIEW OF
 EASTERN CAMPAIGN
3OO,OOO Russians Killed or Wounded and 100000
 Captured Since May 2.

Berlin, Sept. 1, by Wireless to Say vile, N. Y.-An official review of the eastern campaign, as given out here today by the Overseas News Agency, estimates that since May the Rus sians have lost at least 300, 900 men in killed and wounded, and 100000 men captured by the Germans. The announcement is as follows:
 General army headquarters pub fishes a review of the results of offensive movements in Poland and Russia since May 2, beginning with the battle at Gorlice. Army head quarters estimates the strength of the Russian troops which were then ,di- rectly engaged in that region was about 100000. In the fighting since May 2, 100000 have been cap- tured and a minimum of 00,000 wounded or killed. This is very conservative estimate. The actual figures are surely higher, because the Russians saved artillers by recklessly sacrificing their infantry. It is thus evident that the armies which were first attacked, at the beginning of the Austro German offensive movement, have been annihilated and their losses made up by withdrawing troops from otner reg1onS, especially forces which were ready to invade Turkey.
 "Garrisons of half drilled men were hurriedly transported to the front from interior fortresses. All efforts of the Russians were fruitless, how ever. They were driven out of Galacia, Poland, Courland and Lithu- ania. They were rolled backward in two separate groups. Twelve fortress es, among them four large and modern ones, which formed the Rus sian outer and inner line of defense, are in the hands of the Germans and Austrians. This is the result of campaign of less than four months

Kerwin of the Gen. tral Labor Union of this city and Julius Stremlau of Meriden, president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, went to Forestville last even- ing and after addressing a meeting of the striking workmen of the National Marine Lamp company, took steps to organize a union.

 It is expected that Organizers Lar kin of the Machinists' Union and Daly of the Polishers' and Buffers Union will arrive in that town within 9 day Or so and take fOrther steps toward organizing.
 The union formed by President Kerwin is to be known as the Metal Workers Union.
 In speaking of the situation today President KerWin was certain that the company would accede to the demands Of the strikers. He said that in view of the fact that the company has a large order for the government to make powder cans it will be neces- sary to adjust the trouble soon. He said the strikers were firm in their stand. One of the important features of the strike is that one of the men cn strike has been in charge of mak- ing dies for the powder cans and this, in MT. Kerwin's opinion, will have an important hearing in terminating the strike He branded as false some of the statements madA that workmen were earning from s29 to $50 a week.

DIR. MOHR SUCCUMBS
 TO BULLET WOUNDS
Miss Burger, Who Was Also Shot Will RecOyer-Police Probing
 Conspiracy Report.

Providence, R. l., Sept. 1.-Dr. c. Franklin Mohr died at a hospital to- day from the bullet wounds received While on an automobile ride with his office assistant, Miss Emily G. Burger, last night.
 Miss Burger, who also was shot, will recover. The case puzzled the police. They were not able to recon cile conflicting accounts given by Miss Burger and the doctors chauffeur, George w. Healis, negro, 26 years of age.
 The police are inquiring into re- port that there was a conspiracy against the lives of the physician and his companien. They questioned at length Florence Ormsby, young woman employed as a maid in Mohr' s office and later 1t was said that she had given them a clue upon which to work. It was announced that Mrs. Mohr, the widow, would be questioned during the day.
 The chauffeur, Healis told the police that he owned 3s calibre re. volver, the type of weapon used by Mohr's slayer but that he had left il some time ago at garage at James town, where he formerly was em ployed.
 An autopsy was performed on the body of Dr. Mohr this afternoon Particular attention was given to the question as to whether the wounds could have been self inflicted.
 Miss Burger repeated today the story of the affair that she told last night. She said that she and pr. Mohr were on the way to Newport and that their automobile stopped in Harrington because of engine trouble. While the chauffeur was repairing the engine she and pr. Mohr remained in the tonneau. She said she saw another car approaching from the rear and, as it came alongside, sev- eral shots were fired at pr. Mohr and herself Both were wounded in the head and shoulder. Miss Bulger could give no explanation for the assault.

New Departure Mfg. Co. Employees Now Out Number About 400
WANT AN EIGHT-H0UR DAY
Men Holding Meeting This Alter noOn-TwO Assaults in FOrestyiIle But Police Expect to Handle Situ- ation Without Outside Help
Especial to the Herald}


 Bristol, Sept. Tt is thought probable in this city this afternoon that all 1,5oo employees of the New Departure Manufacturing company may become involved in the strike of 200 grinders who walked out la st night and 100 automatic machine operators, who left the plant this morning.
 Those who are already out on strike were planning to hold a meeting at 3 o'clock this afternoon. They as- Main street and awaited the arrival l of an organizer from Washington, D. c. The men are unorganized and have not formulated any demands to present to the factory officials but it is believed their most important demand will be for an eight-hour work day.
 Strike Follows Discharge of Workmen
 The strike fever hit Bristol at 5 o'clock last evening when a com- mittee of workmen called on the of ficials and demanded to know why several employees had been discharg- ed. They were informed that the company had good and sufficient rea- sens for dismissing the men. There was no trouble and no discussion. The men communicated the informa- tion to their fellow employees and about 200 went on strike immediate 1y
 The New Departure plant is work Ing day and night and when about 100 automatic machine operators on the night shift heard what had hap pened they joined the ranks of the strikers. It is estimated that there are nearly 400 on strike at present but this number is expected to be greatly augmented before tomo orrow.
 Machinists May Go Out.
 It is said the machinists employed by the concern are on the point of quitting their benches out of sym pathy with those who have already gone on strike. The discharge of the workmen mentioned previously is said to have been due to their activity in creating sentiment in favor of an eight-hour day. This the officils deny.
 There has been no disorder report ed to the police from Bristol proper.
 Sixty employees of the National Ma rine Lamp company in Forestville have gone out on strike. It is said their action was due to the discharge of a number of fellow workmen who were urging an eight-hour day.
 Two Assaults in Forestville.
 Although two alleged assaults have reported to the police Chief Belden believes he will be able to handle the situation without calling on other towns for assistance. Two policemen are now doing duty in the vicinity of the Marine Lamp plant.
 Clinton Hamm, a Plainville resi- dent, complained to the police that he had been assaulted by Nathan Lepidus while on his way home from work last night. Lepidus was placed un- 1 der arrest and will be given a hear ing tomorrow morning in the Bristol police court.
 Two women became engaged in an l argument over the strike at a house in Forestville last night and a hair pulling match ensued One woman was placed under arrest on a charge of l assault and she will be given a hear ing tomorrow also.
