u. S. Is Ready
To Curb |. w. w.
Great Western Strike Will Be
Stamped Out if War Indus
tries Are Hampered

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. - Grave
menace to industries whose continua-
tion at high speed is deemed vital to
the prosecution of the war is seen by
officials here in the growing activities
of Industrial Workers of the World
leaders on the Pacific Coast and in the
Far Northwest.
The movement apparently is nearing
its maximum and the full scope of its
possibilities is not minimized here. A
pretentious programme calling for
strikes, lockouts and general disturb
ances over seven states, or about one
fourth Of the area of the country, has
been brought to the attention of the
Department of Justice by scores of ex-
pert field Investigators now in the af-
fected territory.
Swift and drastic action to check the
movement. in so far as it would Grip
pie industries or curtail production of
commodities necessary for war. is
planned by Department of Justice
officials. In many instances, however,
the department labors under tho
handicap of being unable to proceed
until an overt act has been performed.
The entire movement, eliminating
yesterday in the declaration at Spo-
kane of James Rowan, district secre-
tary of the organization, that a general
strike would be called August 20 in
Washington, Oregon, Montana and
Idaho unless certain demands were
complied with, is regarded by many
officials as being political, ana not a
labor movement.
A third industry which might seri-
ously be affected in the general /. w.
w. strike, it is said, is copper mining
in Montana.
officials here were much interested d
to-day in Rowan's demand for a ten
hour day in the harvest fields. Any
organized movement, il was said, tend
ing to prevent or delay the harvesting
of the country's crops would come
clearly within the class Of subjects
with which the President was author
lied by Congress to deal summarily.
Senators who want legislation to deal
with the !. W. W. situation to-day
agreed TO join in drafting a bill for in
PRODUCTION by Senator Hollis, designed
to curb improper activities without in
iuring interests Of organized labor.
Another bill introduced to-day By
Senator King provides for the punish.
ment of persons who bring about
breaking of contracts made by the
United States.

LONDON, Aug. 16.-British and
French armies in Flanders at dawn to-
day shattered Hindenburg's defence
zone on a nine-mile front east and
north of Ypres, thirty miles from the
field of victory around Hill 20, which
the Canadians stormed yesterday morn
ing. In places to-day's success carried
the advancing troops more than a mile
into the intricate hostile trench sys-

On the left the French overran the
tongue of land between the User Canal
and Martejevaart. crossed the Steen-
beeke River and conquered the bridge
head of Dreigrachten. In the centre
Haig's men stormed Bangemarck and
established themselves in the German
trenches half a mile beyond the village
On the right the British were less
.uccessful and only succeeded in regis
tering minor gains in the high grouno
north of the Ypres-Menin road, where
the enemy still maintains his strong
hold in the Polygon Wood.
1,SOO Prisoners Brought In
Thus far over 1900 prisoners have
been brought in, including thirty-elgh
officers, and, according to statement
made by Lloyd George in the House
of Commons, FIVE cannon had peen

Lens, where the Canadians have main
tanned themselves agains: ten de
t.rmined counter attacks. The British
hold on the western section of the city
has not relaxed, the sweep of the guns
has kept the Germans away from the
vital positions on Hill 20, and further
progress has been made east of Loos
The number of German prisoners taken
III this area has been increased to 500
of whom twenty-five were officers.
Although the German accounts OF
the two battles read like reports OF
victories. the Entente success appears
between the lines. In Flancers, where
the Allied forces are said to have at

unexampled bombardment, the loss OF

British Success at LOos
In Artois the Canadian success is

objective was Vendin lie Well, three and

on either side OF Loos and that the
British forces now occupy the hrst

woman. A half hour later he looked
again and still saw the woman. She

feet. She seemed to be strOlling leis

Curious to determine the reason FOL
her actions, Hess walked outside Il

explained. The woman had bis

livious to all else. was calmly fillins
his craw while the woman kept NJ

Later on during the day the good
news must have spread, for there ap
peared~ on the scene several Other
chickens with owners attached ia
them by strings. AS the ground be
came clean the procession slowly
moved from view.

The almost universal use Of magne-

the direct cause Of nearly all stomach
troubles. OF the many forms of mag

should be taken to get bisurated mag

sufferers and dyspeptics who follow
