ward nightfall and was continuing
carly today. Between the Meuse and
Dead Mans hill, Germans repeatedly
attacked on a front of two and one
half miles. The desperate charges
were shattered again and again until
the trampled turf was Uttered with
mangled bodies.
Meanwhile German batteries sent
scores of high explosive SHELLS into the
French defenses, leveling first line
trenches which naturally were aban-
doned.
South of Cumieres the German as.
saults were so violent that thc French
relinquished their works west of the

the embankment they fought along

This In Every City on Pacific
Coast, Unless Demands
Are Granted
$4,000 WILL WALK OUT
IS THREE SIDED FIGHT
Employers Refuse to Consider
Demands viii ParaIyze
Shipping

Seattle, Wash, May 31-MembeHs of

sOciation will strike in every Pacific
coast city, from Skagway, Alaska, to
San Diego, Cal, at O'Clock tomorrow
morning unless demands for higher
wages are granted before then.
Waterfront shipping, it is predicted,

Because Seattle and San Francisco
employers have already declared them
selves against the wage increase to 50
cents an hour straight time, and 81 an
hour overtime, there is little hope heer
that walkout can be averted.
Coast Secretary j. A. Madsen, of the,
I. L. A., would make no predictions this
morning. Failure to agree in any one
port means a strike along the entire
coast.
Approximately 10000 members Of the
association are said to be ready to
walk out. About 1000 Of them are en-
ployed in Seattle.
awe have made our demands for n
share in the increased shipping prof
its, " explained Secretary Madsen
"The employers have had time 10 CON
slider the situation. Whether the strike
will 90 into effect hinges on today 3
developments. Employers will have to
give US notice that they win pay tho
new scale. They have all day today
and tonight to act"
The formal demands Of the long
shoremen were agreed upon at the l. T..
A. convention held here recently. Rep
resentatives from every port on the
coast attended.
The United Dock Workers. union,
claiming membership of 1900 truck
ers and freight handlers here, has az
ready declared strike and demanded
the same increase as the l. l.. A. work
ers.
The United Dock Workers organized
here few months ago, and although
they formally applied for charter
from the international LongshOremen'
association, and recognition by the AM
erican Federation of Labor, they were
turned down.
In statement issued today the dock
workers justify their right to organize
and for better conditions.
No other class Of workers upon the
Pacific coast have occupied the de-
graded and miserable position that the
Seattle dock workers have occupied, q"
says the statement.
Because the United Dock Workers
are at outs with the international
Longshoremen, and both organizations
are at outs with employers, the fight in
Seattle is three sided.

Henry Of Prussia. and alleged head of

He was accused of having been the

plants to strike, and also to have been
closely connected with the so.called

At the time Of his arrest by the New

also were made that he was the fore.
