WORK AT PACIFIC PORTS.

SAN FRANCISCO, June IA
strike of 5000 longshoremen employ
ed at Pacific coast ports went into
effect automatically at 6 a. m today.
At Seattle. where strikebreakers
have been hired. trouble is expected.
Two thousand men are out there. Else
where apparently the employers have
made no preparations for active re-
sistance
For several days at least IL Is pre-
dicted that most of the deep sea and
coastwise shipping affected will be
tied up. Owners of several fast
coast passenger steamers have an
nounced, however, that these vessels
will be continued in operation, Civ
ing up, if necessary, all freight traf-
fic.
Neither employers nor strikers
showed any inclination to bulge from
their stands. The water fronts EN-
ployers' union of Seattle, San Francis
co, Tacoma. Portland and San Die
go announced that they would not
accede to the demands of the long
shoremen. At a mass meeting here
last night a committee from the Wa

fed the longshoremen that the fed

every union engaged in waterfront
work, would support them in their
fight.
The strikers. demand a flat rate of
55 cents an hour, the present rate
being so cents, and over time of 81
an hour.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
10 STAY IN MEXICO
UNTIL ORDERCOMES
CLERKS To KNOW
THEIR FATE soon
MERCHANTS MEET TODAY TO
CONSIDER PETITION FOR
EARLY CLOSING.

The Retail Merchants association
will hold a meeting today for the
purpose of acting upon petition sign
ed by over six hundred citizens of
Brunswick asking that the local
stores close at 6 o'clock every even
ing except Saturday. Considerable in
terest is being taken in this matter
unanimously on the side of the
clerks who want to get away from
their work half an hour earlier.
They contend that practically all of
the days trade is over by that time
and that the few stragglers can be
trained to do their shopping before
six o'clock just as well as waiting
to trade afterwards. 1t is understood
that nearly all, if not all, of the mer-
chants are willing to close. The
clerks were rather indignant yester-
day over an article signed Citizen"
protesting against the early closing
They claim that the writer, waited un-
til the last minute before protesting
so that his arguments could not be
answered before the merchants meet
ing. Not knowing the writer's iden-
tity, they asked the News to publish
the following note:
ITO the Editor of the News:
"If the Citizen who gave five rea-
sons why Brunswick should not be
progressive enough to close its stores
at six p. m. will kindly make himself
known instead of remaining anony-
nous, we will promptly convince him,
if he can be convinced that the stores
can be closed without any loss to
the merchants and without any incon-
venience to their customers. Alex
Dixon, R. A. Everett, committee"

GENERAL FUNSTON is
TO OBSERVE TROOPS
Watch Will Be Kept On Possible
Enemy Movements On Ac-
count of Threat Made in Last
Message.

WASHINGTON, June lit was
stated authoritatively today that
American troops will not be with
drawn from Mexico until the Car
rama authorities demon. .trate control
of the situation sufficient to protect
the American border.
A reply to that effect probably will
be made to General Carranza's note,
President Wilson was represented
today as ready to withdraw the
troops when possible, but determined
to wait until the Caaanza forces can
control the situation.
Steps were taken by the war de-
partment today to obtain more defin-
ite information of the disposition of
~Carranza troops in Chihuahua 1t
was said that the Carranza note
: prompted the action of military Off
cials.
General Funston has been asked to
outline clearly the situation in Chi
huahua, according to his most recent
information on the whereabouts of
felt for the safety o. General Perish
ing's columns, but in view of the.
statements in General Carranza's
note it is desired to know as ac-
curately as possible what the move
ments of his forces are.
1t was explained at the war de-
partment that the real mission of the
expedition at this time was to pre-
vent attacks upon the wide sections
of the border controlled by it's posi-
military strategy, it is considered
that only a force disposed as are
General Pershing's troops could ac-
complish that

it was pointed out, might repel an
attack, but could not make it i'm
possible.
With General Pershing's forces
ready to break up any attempt by
bandits to assemble force for sur
prise attack on an American border
town, officials feel that renewal of
raiding within the zone controlled by
his forces is very impossible.
Cavalry patrols are active through
the territory on both sides of Gen
eral Pershing's bases and his line of
communications and war department
officials hold that a condition of
complete security is being maintain
ed in this region and along the bor-
der, despite the allegations of the
Carranza note that the expedition is
"interned in Chihuahua state" lying
idle and with no military object, it's
position constituting a continued
menace to the peace of the two
countries.
No additional troop movements
were in contemplation today as far as
known.

GERMANS ARE
DEFEATED BY
FRENCH ARMY
Battle At Verdun Shows No
Signs OF Slackening
in Violence.
FIRST LINE OF ALLIES
IS NOT YET BROKEN
More Heavy Guns Are Massed
Along the French Line and
Soldiers Stand Firm Under
Rain of Shot and Shell.

LONDON. June 1.-The momentous
battle at Verdun shows no sign of
slackening in violence, but the lat
est official reports, in contrast with
most of those issued during the
last few days. record no more ad-
vances by the Germans. The center
of the bitterest fighting has shifted
somewhat to the southwest of the
front between Cumieres and Dead
where the Germans have scored
most of their recent massacres.
Dead Mans hill. or the ground in
its immediate vicinity, has been the
scene of the latest infantry engage
ments. The Germans attacked the
French positions here last night, but
were completely repulsed, according
to this afternoons bulletin from
Paris, The German defeat came
after success for the French
achieved yesterday when they cap
tured from the Germans a fortified
position southwest of the hill.
Unofficial reports from Paris point
to the growing intensity of the des-
perate struggle at Verdun.
They declare, however, that despite
the tremendous efforts of the Ger
mans, the French first line west Of
the Meuse still is unbroken and that
the Germans must score more adj
vanees before they can force the
main issue by carrying the battle to
the opposite bank .of the Meuse,
where the Bras.Douaumot vaux line
continues to bar direct advance
upon the fortress.
