TEUTONS FAIL IN ATTACK.

Isondon.-On the Somme front some
German detachments, which had sue
ceeded in taking foot in a group OF
houses northeast of the village of Sail
lisel, were driven out by a spirited
counter attack.
Violent artillery actions are contin-
uing in the region OF Ablaincourt.
The German attack on Ablaincourt
and Pressoire, on the Somme front,
was an attempt to break through the
French lines over an extent OF two
and one-half miles. The attacking
forces consisted Of a division and
half in the morning and a division and
half in the afternoon, the whole
strength being directed against the
two villages. The divisions were
formed of select regiments, chiefly
Prussians. OF whom some were OF the
guard and Hanoverians.
In the Macedonia theatre the Allies
continue to press the Teutonic forces

DENOUNCE
COURT JUDGES
Supreme Body of Bay State
Criticized
At 4. F. OF 1. CONVENTION
Oppose the Decision Labor 10 Prop
erty"-Advise Injunction Be Dis
regarded to Use II in Politi-
cal Affairs

Baltimore organized labor
forces of the country have avowed ex-
treme hostility to the writ OF injunc-
ton as a means for stopping a strike.
First. resolution was adopted unani-
mously at the morning session OF the
meeting OF the American Federation
Of Labor, urging organized labor
everywhere to make the injunction
question paramount feature in all
their future political affairs.
A more radical step was taken at
the afternoon session, when the COM
mittee on the executive councils re-
port took up that feature OF the re-
port dealing with the decision of the
Massachusetts supreme court classi-
flying labor as property.
The committee submitted and the
convention unanimously adopted a
recommendation that any injunction
dealing with the relationship OF en-
dictum that labor is property be dis
regarded, let the consequences be
what they may"
1T seems to be a settled purpose
OF interests antagonistic TO the free
dom Of men and women who labor, to
persuade, and then use the judiciary
and misconstrue constitutional guar
antees and thereby nullify legislative
enactments, so as to leave but one
remedy, and we, therefore, recon-
mend that any injunctions dealing
with the relationship of employer and
employe, and based on the dictum,
labor is property be wholly and
absolutely regarded as usurpation
and disregarded, let the conse-
quences be what they may" says the
report. Such decisions as the one
rendered by the supreme court Of
Massachusetts have their roots In
class interests: it is usurpation and
tyranny. Freedom came TO man be-
cause he believed that resistance to
tyranny is obedience TO God. AS it
came, so il must be maintained.
Kings could be and were disobeyed
and sometimes deposed. In cases of
this kind judges must be disobeyed
and should be impeached."
The executive councils report. the
adoption OF which the committee re-
commended, the convention concur
ring, dealt at length with the Massa-
chusetts case, attacking the courts
and saying there seemed to be no re-
medy. The council asked to be en-
powered to continue its aid to the
Massachusetts state federation in the
fight.

TEUTON LOSSES VERY HEAVY

London.-Strong German forces at
tackled the French north and south OF
the Somme River, but according to the
bulletin issued by the French War
Office were able 10 gain only limited
advantages at the cost of very heavy
losses.
The Germans gained a footing in
French advanced positions in the
northern corner and western out
skirts OF St. Pierrevaast wood They
also made some progress IN the east
ern section of the village OF Pressoire
The bulletin from British General
headquarters reads:
During the day we further advanc-
ed our front north OF the Ancre. The
prisoners taken have reached a total
OF $5,67S.
"Our losses, considering the extent
OF our ganis, have not been high.
One division advanced a mile and took
more than a thousand prisoners at the
expense OF $50 casualties.
South of the Ancre we establish
Warlencourt. The Germans. massing
at one point for counter attack,
were dispersed by our artillery fire"
A later French statement says:
ION the Somme front the battle con-
tinued with violence the whole day.
The Germans made a strong effort
with considerable effectives at the
same time north and south OF the
river
"The resistance of our troops held
back the assaults of their adverse.
ries. who were able to obtain only
limited advantages at the price OF very
heavy losses.
North of the Somme an attack was
launched, after an intense lombard
ment, against out positions from Leh
boeufs to the south OF Bouchavenes.
"The Germans succeeded in gain
ing a foothold in our advanced ele
ments in the northern corner and
western outskirts Of ST. Pierre Vaast
Wood. Everywhere else our machine
gun fire and barrage fire checked their
attempts.
THE struggle, carried on with OBJ
stinence, ended in the repulse of the
Germans, who were obliged to return
to their trenches after sanguinary
losses, except in the eastern part Of
the village Of Pessoire, where they
were able to make progress"

MONASTIR FALLS
TO THE ALLIES
Serbs Win Back City On
Anniversary Of 1912
Victory
BULGARS AND GERMANS FLEE

London. - Monastir has fallen
Outnanked by the Serbs, who drove
forward dauntlessly along the ridges
TO the east. the Bulgars and Germans
evacuated the city, the stronghold or
Serbian Macedonia. under cover or
darkness. The Allies entered at 8
o'clock the next morning.
Thus the first fruits OF their long
and bitter campaign have fallen 10
King Peters troops. They have re-
gained one OF their most important
cities, and as a symbol OF the hrst
great step in reclaiming their land
have proclaimed it their capital.
The Bulgar-Teuton forces, swept
back by the brilliant assault, are re-
treating In disorder TO Prilep. The
Serbans took a large number or
prisoners and stores. They are push
ing after the enemy and already nave
consolidated their positions on the
Monastir plain. In addition TO Mona
stir. the Serbians have captured the
villages OF Grunishet, Brink and Gara-
shck and Hill 1878.
There is vast amount OF inspi-
ration in this Serbian feat A year
ago King Peters army was in wild
fight before the invading forces OF
Mackensen, outnumbering them in
men and outranging them in guns.
And now on the anniversary of their
conquest OF the city from the Turks
in 1912, the Serbs once more are in
Monastr.
The advance OF King Peters troops
over the crests that buttress the Mon
astir plain will take its place in mill
tary annals. Ridge after ridge fell
before the Serbin charge until the Bull
gar positions in the lowland had been
turned.
Then the big guns OF the Allies were
moved forward up the plain as the
Teuton and Bulgar forces, caught by
the enfilading fire Of the Serbs on the
east, were forced to fall back. When
the Entente artillery opened fire the
Teutonic armies had no alternative.
They evacuated the city.
Sarrail now has accomplished the
most important stroke OF the entire
Macedonian campaign.
