N0N-UNI0N MINERS AT BAUXI1E QUIT
 WITH UNION MEN
Seven Hundred Strike Be- cause of Discrimination
 Against Union.

Little Rock. July 21.-A strike was called at Bauxite today, after an in- effectual effort had been made for several days 10 adjust the differences between the men and the company.
 The president of the union, Roy Pettus, notified Labor Commissioner J. c. Clary that every man, union and non-union, had thrown down his tools and quit work. There are 4yU members of the recently organized, and about 200 non-union men.
 Several weeks ago strike YVES threatened. but it was settled at that time by the company agreeing to recognize the union, and not to dis criminate against workmen because of tn ir membership in the union. It is charged. however. that since that time a large number of men have been discharged. all of whom were members of the union. It is said there were about 50 in all, but the cases of only six were taken up by MT. Clary in an effort to adjust the grievance.
 Hearings were held several days this week before MT. Clary, eacn side being represented by attorneys. The company claimed that it had abided strictly by it's agreement. that there had been no discrimination on account of union membership, and that no employe had been discharged without cause. The company refused emphatically to reinstate the men who had been discharged, and the en- tire force thercupon walked out.

FRENCH REPULSE ATTACKS.
Inactivity Grown Prince Interpreted
 FavOrably to Allies in France.

Paris, July 21.-Positions captured yesterday by the French south of the Somme were subjected to vigorous counter attack during the night. The Germans charged the French lines south of Soyecourt, but. the war office announced today, suffered heavy losses and were driven back in dis order.
 A strong German detachment which advanced to the attack in the Calune5 region, was repulsed with the bay onet.
 Between Soissons and Rheims the French penetrated a German trench, clearing it of it's defenders.
 On the Verdun front the artillery was active on both sides in the vi- cinity of Chattancourt and Fleury.
 French aeroplanes successfully bombarded stations at Conflans, Mers- la Tour, Longuvon and Brie- jules.
 Contrary to expectations, the Ger mans have made no attempt to fol- low up the smashing blow delivered against the northern Verdun de- lenses a week ago.
 The French counter attacks, ac- cording to the officers. gradually are winning back the ground gained by the Germans at heavy cost in the vl- cinity of Thiaumont and Fleury. This inactivity on the part of the crown prince is interpreted by French mili- tary opinion as evidence that the Germans are finding increased diffi- culty in concentrating troops at any one point on the front. The French officers say that each of the fresh as- saults on Verdun is requiring longer and longer time to prepare. They claim the Germans took no less than IS days in preparation for the at tack of July 12,

 Award Contract August 10.
 The bonds are to be delivered about November 15, and the funds received from the issue are to be used in con- structing modern highway from the north side of the Jefferson county free bride to Wabbaseka, distance of about 40 miles.

Gales Called to Capital.

Washington, July 21.-General Gales, Carranza military chief of Sonora state, has been ordered to Mexico City, according to a message received by the war department from Col. Sage at Nogales, Arizona.

 It appeared certain tonight that the Washington government was prepared to accept the commission plan pro- posed by General Carranza in his note of July II, made public yesterday in Mexico City, but there are indications that President Wilson would prefer a more far-reaching discussion than his communication suggests.

Washington, July 2l.-All re- strictions on the movement of ex- ports to Mexico, except munition of war and machinery for their manu- iacture, were removed today by or ders of the treasury department.
 Without the folmality of a proca- nation, an embargo on shipments into Mexico was put into effect by GUS toms and military authorities soon after Villas raid upon Columbus. Two weeks ago the state and war depart ments agreed to the lifting of the re- stnctlons upon exports of food and clothing, and later the removal of re- strlctions on the movement of house. hold goods and fuel within reasonable quantities.
 The munitions embargo probably will be maintained rigidly until condi- tlons in Northern Mexico are more settled, and differences between the United States and the de facto gov ernment have been adjusted.
