 The French and Germans are en- gagged in intensive fighting in the re- zion of Cerny and Corbeny in the Soissons- Rheims sector, and around Hill BOA and in the Avocourt wood near Verdun, while the British are continu- ing their operations having the devel- opment of Lens as their objective.
 The battle around Cerny has been sanguinary, positions several times changing hands but at last reports re- mainining in the hands of the Ger mans, who after several unsuccessful attempts, won them from the French but at the cost of heavy casualties.
 Southeast of Corbeny the Germans along the Laon Rheims road also en- deavored to force the French line but were repulsed with heavy losses.
 According to the Berlin war office the Germans have captured French po- sitions along the Malancourt- -Esnes road in the Verdun sector 2000 meters in length and to depth of 300 meters and repulsed French attacks delivered in an endeayor to regain the lost ground. The claim is also made that in the Avocourt wood the Germans stormed a French position over a front
 
 Field Marshal Haig's forces in an of fensive in the region of Oppy have taken German positions on front of 2,000 yards and have forced their way into the town of Avion, two miles south of Lens. In addition successful trench raiding operations were carried out north of Cherisy and southeast oi Loos. In the fighting around Oppy and south of the Souchez river PAT prison CTS and F machine guns were cap tured by the British.
 Minor operations continue on the Russian, Austro- Italian and Mace donian fronts. Along the Persian Mesopotamian frontier the Turks have forced the Russians to re-cross the Apis Hirman river south of Baneh.
 Greece has severed diplomatic rela- tions with Germany and her allies anC apparently soon will take the field or the side of the entente allies. The new premier, F. Venizelos, in taking tn,

for eastern railroads of such charac- ter as to make it imperative to authorize even the increased class rates sanctioned by the majority. He stated that there is no proof that the returns of the carriers of the east for this year may not be more favor able than the net returns for 'all but a small number of years in their en- tire history.
 Urges Investigation
 Commissioner McChord, also dis senting, urged that the commission report to congress the essential facts disclosed and ask that an investiga ton be made to determine whether prices demanded of the carriers for fuel and supplies are reasonable under present conditions. He also intimated that government control of these commodities might afford re- lief. { 4sA
 The commission authorized the fol- lowing raises in class rates for points north of the Ohio, east of the Ms sissippi:
 First class, from 7S.S to 90; second class, from 6S.3 to 79; third class, from 52.5 to 60; fourth class, from 36.S to 42; fifth class, from 31.25 to 36; sixth class. from 26.3 to 90 cents per hundred pounds.
 The commission found in general that the effects of the Adamson eight hour basic day and of the increased cost of fuel, supplies and materials had not affected the southern and western carriers as greatly as it af- fected the eastern carriers.

 MT. Lloyd George pointed out that no German statesman had promised the restoration of Belgium, and said that the entente allies could enter into conference with a democratized Ger many in a different spirit than they could deal with the Prussian auto- cracy.
 Great Britain, said MT. Lloyd George, could hold out if Germanys submarine was kept in bounds and the people practiced frugality.
 The public enthusiasm was tempered by unfriendIy demonstration for MT. Lloyd George had previously incurred the hostility of some sections of the Glasgow laborers in his dealings with them while minister of munitions. A 1 crowd of malcontents gathered outside the hall and sang 4The Red Flag" bu, the cheers of the friendly majority drowned their demonstration.

Conference Effort Fails

BUTTE, Mont. June 29.-The first effort to bring the electricians. who are striking for higher wages and recogni- tion of the Metal Mine Workers union, into conference with the Montana Power company failed today when the electricians refused to meet the com pany officials. It is expected that a conference will be arranged later
 The electricians, it was stated by a member of the union, did not go into the conference because the instructions received from the metal trades council did not agree with those received from their own union. The metal trades council is composed of the electricians and the machinists, boilermakers ana blacksmiths who have ec.ared sym pathetic strikes.
 The Metal Trades Council, acting under the advice of organizers of inter- national unions, has insisted that the electricians go into conference without demanding the recognition of the Metal Mine Workers union, which as yet has no affiliation with the American Feder-

 About 10 per cent of the miners are at work in the Butte district. It wa, stated officially that the mining com panles are using miners as tool sharp eners since the blacksmiths struck and that with the limited force of men un- derground the mines will be able to get a sufficient number of drills to keep all the miners who want to work busy for number of days.

PARIS, June 29.-The following official communication was issued this evening:
 "The enemy, after his bloody defeat last night in the region of Cerny, di- rected some new attacks against our positions northeast of this village. After several vain attempts, which cost them heavy losses, the Germans succeeded again in entering the first line elements whence they had been expelled.
 Southeast of Corbeny the Ger mans in the course of the same night started an attack which was partic- ularly violent. The enemy brought forth several battalions led by spe- cial storming troops which several times attempted to carry the salient in our line on both sides of the Laon- Rheims road. The assailing waves were shattered by our fire and were not able to penetrate our trenches on any front, being forced to fall back with heavy losses.

Railroad Earnings

Frank Trumbull, chairman of the

mittee, in talking of the earnings
of the railroads, made public the
following;
The average passenger train in
this country earns. for carrying pas
sengers, mail, express and parcel
post, about 81 40 per mile. The av-
erage equipment of cars and loco
motives provided for this probably
weighs about $50 tons, and is pro-
jected through space at rate of
speed varying from twenty to sixty
miles per hour. That is to say,
500 ton train of steel, plate glass,
expensive woodwork, electric lights
etc costing $2OO,OOO or more, is
projected twelve miles at a high
speed for the price of a ton of hay.
