GERMANS SURRENDER,
WEARY OF HARDSHIPS
Group on Somme Runs Up White
Flag Without Fight.

with the British Army in France,
Aug. 30.-An officer and ninety Ger
mans surrendered in body near
Guillemont to-day. When the British
worked their way up on either side Of
the exposed trench they held they ran
up a white flag without making any
fight. They said they had suffered
enough hardships.
While the German press is saying
that Rumania's entry will lengthen the
war, prisoners taken say that it will
shorten il, as it is evident now that
Germany cannot win and had better
compromise than prolong the struggle.

Fight Over Provision.

II is this provision 70 which the
unions objection is made. They MAIN
tain that this means nothing else but
;nvoIuntary servitude. There is moth
inc in the act. however. which prohibits
any employe from quitting as an lnql-
vidual. All the other provisions OF the
nresent Newlands act are retained eN-
cent that which says "no injunction or
other legal process shall be issued
which shall compel the performance by
anv emplove against his will of con.
tract for personal labor or service"
This has been eliminated entirely from
the tentative draft.
On this point Senator Cummins. one
Of the Progressive Republican members
Of the Senate Interstate Commerce
Commission. who is expected to lead the
fight against the Presidents pro-
gramme, said:
at is my deliberate judgment that
+bere is no method for the prevention
Of strikes by force of law, except 70

II is expected that, in order to carry
out the Presidents ideas, they Will re-
main substantially as they stand. The
hearing will not cause delay TO the
enactment Of the legislation devised by
the Presidents advisers. It will be on
the Senate floor that the fight will be
waged.
Both sides had their representatives
in Congress working for their cause
Yesterday. The four brotherhoods
spent an hour in consultation, win
men favorable to their side and, win
their counsel. Miles NJ. Dawson. who
came to Washington to look after
their interests now chat the crisis rs
approaching, read the tentative drafts
of the bills The sentiment OF Con
gress on the effect a delay will have on
the unions was perhaps best expressed
by Senator Hoke Smith, friend OF
the labor cause. who said:

while Congress is trying to effect
settlement of the issue. they will for
felt the sympathy of the people"

from avoiding the act by any reduction
of schedules intended 10 give the men
only eight hours pay for eight hours

Provision is also made in this bill to
establish a wage commission OF three
appointed by the President, two OF
them named by each side TO the con
troversy, to study the operation OF the
eight-hour basic day and report withih
specified period TO the President
This wage commission would be en-

refusing to perform such service shall

fine or imprisonment. or both.
In drafting this radical measure. in
tended 10 give the government power
to keep trains moving after strike
has been called. the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee had before 1t the
urar net Of 1862 which authorized the
president TO take possession Of the
telegraph and railroad lines in the IN
terest of public safety.
The measure intended for permanent
avoidance Of such labor controversies
as the present one is even more drastic
,ban The others. II provides that when
the Board Of Mediation and Concilia-
ton fails to induce the parties to &C
cept arbitration it shall be unlawful for
the employees 70 declare a strike or the
employers a lockout, pending an m
vestigation of the merits of the dispute
and a report thereon.
