FRENCH GAIN AT VERDUN
Recapture Part of FIeury After Violent
Fighting.

Flqhtin9.
Heavy attacks were made by the
French Oh the Verdun front.
After violent fighting at Fleury, east
Of the Meuse, and north of Verdun,
they expelled the Germans from part
OF the town which had been captured,
says the official statement.
The French also made considerable
progress in the region Of Thiaumont.
Fifty Germans were captured there.
Several German counter attacks OF
the Somme front southeast OF Maure'
pas were repulsed.
After taking twenty-four hours to
reorganize their broken lines the Ger
mans made six desperate counter al
tacks upon the trenches the Erit sh
took from them northwest Of PoZieTes
on the Somme front Wednesday. 7 e
British repulsed every attack with big
losses.
A strong British attack northwest Of
Bazentin-lePetit, along the road to
Bapaume, was successful. The British
captured about a hundred yards of Ger
man trenches. The success brings
them nearer to the villages of Cour-
celete and Martinpuich.

RAIL CHIEFS
AGAINST PLAN
Tell Mr.. Wilson They Insist
on Arbitration,
MEN EAcGEPT The TERMS
President Determined, Summon Hall
road Directors, if Necessary 10
Avert a Strike.

Thirty-one railroad presidents tolu
President Wilson they stood Dy inc
decision of their managers committee
that an eight-hour day was impracu-
cable.
President Wilson refused to take
mo" for an answer to his proposal
that they accept the elgnt-hour uaS
and asked them to return to the "hlte
House with their managers tor an
other conference.
Inst after the railroad presidents
left the White House, it became known
officially that the employees had Voteu
to accept President Wilson's propo-
sition. :.
President Wilson is determined, II
was said authoritatively, to bring the
boards of directors of the leading rail-
roads to Washington, if necessary, 10
preyent a nationwide railroad strike.
He will endeavor, it was said, TO secure
an agreement by negotiating with rep
resentatives OF the employees, the rail-
road managers and the presidents, Dut
if the deadlock continues the boards
will be summoned.
1t was made clear to President VIII
son that the railroad presidents were
not disposed to yield the eight-hour
day and that they insisted on arbl-
tration.
The attitude of the railroad presl'
dents seemed to indicate little chance
OF the plan proposed by the president
being accepted. Several declared the
principle OF arbitration in Industrial
disputes was at stake and must be
maintained even at the cost OF strike.
President Wilson pointed out the dis
aster which would attend asnation-
wide strike, but the officials answered
they were ready to arbitrate the ques'
tions at issue. During the conference
with President Holden, Of the Bur
lington, as spokesman, pointed out
that only the committee OF managers
was authorized to reach a definite de-
cision, as it represented all the roads.
Men closely affiliated with the rail.
road officials said that the managers
were willing to accept any kind OF ar
bitration, but that there was no chance
for an eight-hour day without investi-
cation.
The railroad executives told the pres
ident that, as before increase freight
rates were obtained, they were forced
to submit to an inquiry, before grant
ing an increase in pay they should
have a similar inquiry.
The four brotherhood leaders were
in conference with the president thirty
minutes, and said no modification Of
the plan had been presented to them
as a result OF President Wilson's con.
ference with the railroad presidents.
