MARTIAL LAW HAS BEEN

BY Wilbur s. Forrest,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.
London, Sept. 2.-Without serious
opposition by the Austrians, Rumanian
troops rolled steadily westward toward
the heart of Transylvania today while
the war clouds dropped lower rove
Greece.
The capture Of six Transylvanian
towns, 1900 prisoners and large
amounts of booty, was announced in an
official statement from the Rumanian
war office. The Austrian war office
admitted the surrender of Hermann
stadt, ormer capital of Transylvania to
the invaders and the evacuation of the
town of Sepsi-St. Gyoergy.
German residents of Athens have
fled from the Greek capital with the
arrival of thirty allied warships and
a fleet of transports in Piraeus harbor
only five miles away. An Athens dis
patch reported that great excitement
was caused in political circles by the
appearance of the warships, but ear
ried nothing on the report that King
Constantine had abdicated his throne.
A wireless dispatch from Rome as
serted that martial law has been de-
clared in Athens and Piraeus and pre-
sumably upon the arrical of allied
troops. King Constantine, the dispatch
said, is seriously ILL., Rome also re-
ported the revolution in northern
Greece spreading through Thessaly and
Epirus, with the movement for
declaration of war by Greece rapidly
gaining strength.
In every theatre Of war, except
south of the Somme. the allied war Of
fices reported victories today. The
British war office announced the re-
capture of ground lost under heavy
German counter attack Thursday night.
The French admitted yielding some
ground to the Germans south of the
Somme. From both Vienna and Petro-
grad came reports of Russian gains in
the new Galician offensive. An un-
official dispatch from Athens reported
the Serbs driving back the Bulgarian
right wing.

Watchful Waiting.

San Francisco, Sept. 2.-"Watchtul
waiting" is the attitude of railroad
officials, trainmen and the public today
pending final action by the senate in its
strike prevention program. The general
feeling is that the strike will be avert
ed and the railroads have all modified
their embargoes on shipments of perish
able commodities.
This announcement brings joy to

threatened tie-up came at a time when
400 carloads were daily moving east

With their principal markets for choic-
est products cut off, they were com
PEELED to unload at sacrifice in the
San Francisco, Oakland and Los Ange'
les markets, the result being the un-
dermining of prices of all fruits and
vegetables, but especially of grapes.
Meanwhile the railroads are continu-
ing preparations to meet the strike, in
case through some unforeseen conditions,
the strike is called. In addition to ex-
ira trainmen, they have secured large
army of detectives to guard railroad
property and the lives of strikebreak-

PREPARING TO MEET
STRIKE # IT COMES
Feel Certain Strike Will Be
Averted But Prepare for
Emergencies

Chicago, Sept. 2.-Strike preparations
were continued today by western rail
roads despite lessening possibility of 9
waikout of the four brOtherhoods Mon
day. Executives do not doubt that the
senate will confirm the action of the
house yesterday in passing the Adamson
bill and thus postpone a strike. But
they plan to strengthen their positions
so that if an appeal to the courts should
reverse the action of congress, they
would be ready to meet strike. Be-
tween now and January l. when it be-
comes effective, it is expected that
detailes of general plan of resistance
will be worked out.
Whether the roads will ignore the
Adamson law and force the government
to sue on its enforcement or will them
selves take the initiative and seek re-
straining has not yet been determined.
First indications of the railroads be-
lief that there will be no strike Mon
day was seen today in the lifting of en-
bargoes on perishable freight on four
western roads. The action was accepted
generally as indicating that operating
officials were convinced there would be
no strike. More are expected today.
The roads lifting embargoes were
the Great Western, Burlington, Rock Is
land and the Erie.
Ben Bowen, Milwaukee, general chair
man of the order of Railway Conductors
on the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul,
admitted today that 1000 st. Paul con
ductors have voted to disregard the
strike orders. Railroad heads claim that
they have been assured 25 per cent Of
their employees would refuse to obey a
walkout order.
Five hundred lawyers at a dinner OF
the American Bar association last night
cheered Frederick A. Lehman of st.
Louis, former president of the associa-
ton, when he took slap at the action
of the house at Washington yesterday
in passing the eight hour bill. Judges
and lawyers sprang to their feet and
stood on their chairs and howled for
three minutes.
Meat prices on the local livestock ex-
change took big drop today as q result
of favorable strike conditions, indicat'
ing all railroads will lift embargoes.
Extremely heavy receipts also helped to
depress the markets. Hogs dropped back
to $l1 hudred pounds for choice stock
a declae of 30 cents from yesterday g
close and so cents from the high mark.
Cattle at $yl.20 for beeves, was down
25 cents, while sheep were from 10 to
25 cents lower.

Washington, Sept. 2.-The United
States senate spent today arguing with
itself preparatory to casting the votes
that will say whether or not there i:

While the senators argued, however
they were practically agreed that their
votes would be against such a strike
They were prepared to put their o. X

by the house.
By nightfall a new federal eight hour

president signature.
Six O'Clock is the hour set for the
vote and special messenger is ready
to rush the measure to the president
down in Jersey.
The senate adjourned at II clock
last night without having finished its
work on the bill. Demands for vote
at that time were overcome by senators
who wished to talk today. The full
galleries and the tense atmosphere of
last night were not duplicated when
the session opened today, but there was
reason to believe the crowds would
gather again to witness the closing

No report of an actual landing has
thus far been received. But two dis

the arrival of allied transports off Pr

declared this undoubtedly meant that
the allies had decided to put an end

confirmation of reports of King Con-

was expected on Senator Underwood s
amendment authorizing the interstate
commerce commission to fix rates of
pay and hours Of labor, it was believed
it would be voted down.
Some suppositions.
Senator Shafroth opened the debate
today by moving to change Senator
Underwood S amendment so that it
would be specifically stated no EN-.
ploye affected by the bill would be
compelled by its terms to work, that
stopping of work would not constitute
"delaying or obstructing operation of
trains.' for which the amendment pro-
vides fine of $4,000 or one year IS

Suppose" said Senator Hardwick,
the railroad presidents came to us
and said 'leglsiate us increased freight
and passenger rates, or we will stop
operating all trains in this countrv.'

ing this under threat" he said.
To prove his point, he read several
kilograms from large labor unions of
the middle west pleading with him to
urge passage of the eight hour law bill
and to oppose any form of compulsory
arbitration.
81 would rather be dog and bay
at the MOON he said, than be a SEN
ator enslayed by such dictations and
threats. These messages show the way
the wind blows by demanding that l

roads,"
@ Sherman read other kilograms, one
from Joe Burns of the White Rats, (an
actors assoeiation) of Chicago, and
one from bookkeeper of the same
place. Burns urged passage Of the
eight hour law.
''This means,' continued Sherman,
g that if we legislate for the railway
employees, we'll have to do it for every
other labor organization. 1t will never
end We might as we'l wipe the inter

The Underwood amendment which
would have given the interstate COM
