London, June 1.-The Germans
 have switched their offensive from the region of Le Mort Homme to the sector between the Thiaumont farm and Vaux, northeast of the fortress, and have succeeded in entering French first line trenches between Fort Dou- aumont and the VauX pond The at tack was made over front of about two miles and was preceded by vio- lent artillery preparation. The French met the German onslaught with ma chine guns and succeeding in holding back the forces everywhere except at a point between Douaumont and VauX pond. Heavy losses were inflicted on the Germans, according to Paris.
 Heavy fighting around Le Mort Homme and Avocourt has dwindled since the counter attack by the French, which gave them German trenches 400 meters southeast of Le Mort Homme.
 kirch, the Germans report the occu- patton of French positions 300 meters deep, and the capture of prisoners and booty.
 The Italians. according to Rome, continue to hold back attacks by the Austrians at various points along the Tyrol front. Specially bitter fighting is reported in the region of Posina and southeast of Ariero, where the Austrians either we're cstopped or driven back in disorder. Lively ar- tillery duels are in progress in the Lagrina valley and between the Po- sina and Upper Astico rivers.

All the Turkish attacks were re- pulsed except at Mamakhatun. 50 miles west Of Erzerum, which was evacuated by the Russians. Here the lighting was over a front of about 20 miles. The Turks were said to be re- nforced by Austrians and Germans.

'E|GHT-HOUR DAY FOR R. K. MEN
 BEFORE BOARD First Joint Conference Be gins Yesterday in New
 York. CONFIDENCE OF
 SETTLEMENT FELT Ali Sessions of the Conference Will Be Open to Press, in Order That Public May Be Fully Informed,
 Says Chairman Lee.

New York, June 1.-The first join conference between representatives o- the railroads and those of their con ductors, trainmen, engineers and fire men for settlement of the differ ences over the employees working hours and wages was begun here to. day in executive session. Both sides expressed confidence that an amicabe adjustment of the controversy would be reached.
 "No outside arbitration" is the slogan of the employees given in an swer to the suggestion that the ques- tion be given over to the decision of federal arbitrators in case the confer ence fails to agree.
 The principal question is whether the employees are entitled to an eight hour basis work day with pay for 10 hours at the present rate for eight hours service. Overtime pay is also involved.
 Against these demands the railroads have presented proposition relative to the way compensation shall be paid for different classes of service.
 Employees We'll Represented.
 Elisha Lee, chairman of the com mittee of 19 managers, representing the railroads, was made temporary chairman of the joint conference. About 250 delegates from the em- ployes' organizations were present to- day, but it was expected their number would be increased to about 800 by tomorrow.
 A. B. Garrettson, president of the o. R. C.; w. G. Lee, president of the B. R. T.; w. s. Stone, grand chief of the B. of L. E., and Timothy Shea, as- sistant president of the B. of L. F. and E., had seats at the table with the railroad managers.
 The conferences first business was the arrangement of program of procedure.
 Hints at Rate Increase.
 In announcing that the sessions of the conference would be open to the press, MT. Lee said:
 "Both sides to the controversy rec ognize that it is of such unprecedented and so directly affects the interests of the whole country that the public ought to have all the facts. If the railroads must add to the wages of 3 portion of their employees many mil lions of dollars, it is plain that this means an additional cost to the trans portation industry of the country in which the people are vitally interested. An open conference in which there will be full and frank discussion of he demands made by the employees ought to enable the public Q determine what is fair and just"

President Wilson Himself Will Decide on Course to
 Be Pursued.
TROOPS TO STAY
 FOR SOME TIME
Official Comment Indicates That First Chief Will Receive Sharp Rebuke From WashingtOn-Gene Fun
 ston Denies Statements Made,

Washington, June 1.-General Car ranza's note, demanding withdrawal of American troops from Mexico, has brought no change in the determina- tlon of President Wilson to maintain the present troop disposition until the de facto government demonstrates it's ability to protect the border. It was stated authoritatively that General Pershlng would remain where he is until that time arrives. A reply will be made, but it's form had not been determined upon tonight.
 The President read the hasty trans lation of the communication last night. A corrected text is being prepared for him by the state department.
 While official comment is withheld. 1t is regarded as offensive, and such portions considered as a thinly-veiled lnslnuatlon and accusation that the president is playing domestic politics in retaining the troops in Mexico, will draw sharp rebuke.
 It is doubtful, according to an au- thorlty on the international corre- spondence of the United States, if the government ever has received a com- munlcation couched in as offensive terms and containing as many appar- ent violations of the ordinary usages of diplomatic courtesy as this 12,O0O- word arraignment of it's good faith and honesty of purpose.
 President Wilson himself will de- eide. what course shall be pursued. So far as could be learned tonight no conferences or preliminary inquiries have yet been initiated to determine the nature of the reply. Apparently, none are necessary, so far as the with drawal of troops is concerned. There IS no indication that such possibility IS even being considered.

 More than score additional mem- bers arrived later in the day to at tend the convention and participate in its activities. and the optimism and enthusiasm felt by the visitors over business conditions soon pervaded the entire city, and caused the president of the association, w.

 Mr. Can't, in his welcoming address, made brief comparison of the growth of the importance of cotton seed in the past third of a century, saying that years ago it was consid- cred absolutely worthless, while today it stands second to cotton alone, among the products of the South, and bids fair to show continued growth of such importance in the future. 1.Ilf
