With the British Armies in Flanders,
Nov. l7.-I'ive members of the Ameri-
can Congressional delegation were un-
der fire on their recent visit to front
line trenches in Belgium it developed to-
day.
German watchers, noting stir in the
allied lines, figured ON something un-
usual and sprayed an opening in the
breastworks with machine gun fire, the
bullets splashing about the heads of the
quintet of American legislators.
The five congressman who frankly
admitted after they had emerged un-
armed from the Boee fire that it was
just plain luck that saved them, were
Representatives, Dill, johnson, Miller
Timberland and Hicks.
With Representatives, Goodwin, Dale,
Taylor, Stephens and Carter, these five
were being shown trenches south of
Dixmude. The five were separated from
the remainder of the party at one point
and slipped into lines a bare thirty
yards from the Germans. Enemy watch
1ulness centered on gap in the breast
works of the lines here-breastworks
being made necessary at this point be-
cause of floods. When the Americans
got to this point they were greeted with
a perfect fury of machine gun fire. The
bullets spat wickedly all about their
heads. Then a German battery some
where to the rear flung a screaming
shell close by.
The visitors hurriedly ducked and es-
capped. When they got out again, all
solemnly resolved that it "was very in
teresting, but very foolish" to visit
front line trenches unless one was OBJ
hged to do so.

FORD WILL DELIVER The GOODS
Will Put the Same Push and
Energy Behind ShipbuiIding
He Has Used In Building Up
His Automobile Business

New York, Nov. 17.HHenry Ford is
to put into American ship construction
the same drive and steam that made
his automobile industry record
breaker.
This is what the government wants
from Ford and this is what Ford will
deliver, Chairman Hurley of the ship
ping board declared here today.
Ford's job with the shipping board
viii put him in control of ship CON
struction, Hurley said He will direct
the manufacture of necessary parts in
all sections of the country. supervise
their assembly at shipyards and see
that Americas war-born merchant
marine outstrips U-boat destruction
Ford will appoint his own cabinet" +"
of American industrial leaders to work
with him.
"Speed is the watchword in ship
building" said Hurley. cit will not
be Ford's plants that will be so valu-
able to the government; it will be his
genius.
"We aim to standardize shipbuilding.
Of course we cannot build all the ships
alike, but one Of the first steps will be
to reduce the number Of models.
Boilers and mechanical parts Of
ships must be built in all parts Of the
country and of a uniform type so they
may be used in a ship at Portland,
Maine, or sent to the Pacific coast.
And they must be ready for installa-
tioh when the hull is ready.
"It is this management of materials
and manufacture which will be handled
by Ford.
"We now have all the maHne en-
gineers, designers and technically
trained men needed for the operation
end of the work, but we have no train
dispatcher or general superintendent Of
this nationwide shipbuilding yard.
We have been operating on the old
side track style. .
sfWe are now going to lay double
track. If the parts are not ready
when the construction has reached a
point where they are necessary, we are
now compelled to wait for them. This
delay must disappear"
When asked who Ford assistants
in the work would be. Hurley said:
THAT is up to him. have confidence
that he viii select the best production
and speed experts in the country"

By vote of 2l5 to 81 the Am

This action took the form of

months prior to the elections in
stead Of late in November af-

Above all, he cautioned labor not to

outlined his position to the United
Press.
Anent certain resolutions and the
report of allied conference Delegate
John Golden advocating that American
labor be represented at all world labor
conferences from now on, Furuseth
said:
"The labor of no nation had voice
in starting this war. 1t cannot now af-
ford to concern itself in the politics
Of the war and peace situation with
out taking upon its shoulders some of
the responsibility for the war.
''This applies to any faction in the
country, including Germany, and TO all
the labor Of any nation or group OF.

Labor's Time Later
~ can see no advantage to labor s
participation in war and peace politics
at this time There will come time
when the accredited representatives of
all labor, including that of the central
powers, can get together.
f'There is nothing for labor to do
now but concern itself with its duty

Let it follow the flags of its nation
while the war is fought out by those
who started it.
''Above all, let labor refuse to hate.
Ours is not the blood guilty for this
war. Ours is not the animosity'
Meantime, the convention itself got
down to action and adopted a number
of the 16S resolutions.
President Gompers was authorized
I to appoint special committee to re-
port before adjournment on the alleged
national labor shortage and conditions
under which women are being ASSEM-

HIGHLY PROBABLE
X Not Be Resorted To Un-
" Ven Cannot Be Found
'ong Drafted
LAW PROVIDES CALL
MAY BE MADE ON STATES
Those Exempted On Account
Of Dependency Cannot
Be Taken

Washington, Nov. -Conscription
of skilled labor for war work may be-
come a fact under the new draft reg
ulations issued today.
"When the national interest is bet
ter served by inducing such men into
military service than by leaving them
engaged in industry or agriculture
neither deferred classification nor the
order numbers assigned by lot can be
permitted to defer te call of such men
INTO military service" say the regula-
tions
Use of such labor in the military
service would take any T9rm national
necessity requires but principally in
muniti0n factories, chemical laborator-
les and in skilled work at the front OF
behind the lines.
The conscription of expert labor, how
ever, viii not be resorted to it was in
dicated by the provost marshal gener-
al s office today, unless the required
men cannot be found among the reg
ularly drafted men.
The method of conscripting skilled la
Dor and the protection afforded even
after such a call is decided upon, it
fully detailed in the following extract
from the new regulations issued today:
"When there is need for the services
of men expert or highly skilled in any
special class of work, the adjutant gem
eral of the army shall make requisition
on the provost marshal general for the
number and class of men needed.
How 1t Is Done.
"Thereupon, the provost marshal gem
eral shall call upon the governor Of one
or more state for such number of total
required that will distribute the bur-
den equally among the states.
"Thereupon the adjutant general
shall call upon one or more local boards
to examine the questionaires of the
registrants with the qualifications re-
quired, including only those placed in
a deferred classification on the sole
ground of engagement in industry or
agriculture.
The adjutant general shall examine
the lists and memoranda and sail or
der the immediate physical examination
and induction into military service of
such men as will best meet the require
ments specified.
Among reglstrants whose quallflca-
tions are equal, those who consent shall
be selected first and those who do not
consent sail be selected in the order de-
termined by their class and order num-
Der. f."
Men exempted on other grounds than
industry or agriculture, however-for
example, dependency-cannot be con
scripted in this manner except upon
special order of the secretary Of war.
Enlistment in the army for men Of
draft age stops December Is. But men
far down the list may enlist in the navy
and marine corps.

London, Nov. 17.-British monitors
are in action against German-Austrian
troops in the marshes of veccia, striv-
ing to hold back the Teutonic invaders
from Venice.
This announcement of the first Brit
ish cooperating forces to aid Italy came
from Rome today with the additional
Encouraging news that everywhere the
Italian line was holding strongly.
A fierce artillery duel is sweeping
along the whole fifty mile front OF the
Piave and the northern fringe of the
Alps.
IN the mountainous land the Italians
are holding desperately to their posi-
tions. Rome dispatches today reported
this army literally battling inch by
inch with the Austrians, holding them
sufficiently to give evidence Of ulti-
mate defeat Of the enemy 3 attempt at
turning the Piave river line.
Safe in Few Days.
Here in London it was declared if
the present front could be maintained
for few more days the worst danger
to the line Will have passed. BY tIaD
time, it was estimated here, British and
Z French troops and guns would be at
the front, making their strength felt.
Overtopping the sentimental fear for
Venice were the cold military facts of
the situation at the other end of the
Italian line. The desperation Of the It.
allan defense there has made the bat
tie costly one for the Austrians. They
have only succeeded in advancing four
miles into Italian territory.
The real trial of strength against the
main part Of the Piave line has net
yrt come The artillery duel is approach
ing its maximum of intensity, but infan-
try actions so far have been in the ma
ture of sparring for positions. This
main line fighting, it was evident, was
awaiting the outcome of the fighting
to the north.
The London press today was more op-
timistic over the Italian situation al
though frankly prepared for the worst.

Petrograd, Nov. 16.-(DeIayed)-
Bloody fighting was succeeded by nego-
tiations for a. compromise government
today. Premier Kerensky's whereabouts
are unknown.
Negotiations are in progress between
the Maximalists and the moderate So
cialist leaders. Three Gays ago the plan
for a coalition was broaehed. The Boil
sheviki, OF Maximalists, have so far
produced a deadlock in the situation
by demanding the most liberal repre-
sentation of all political factions in the
ministry of the proposed government.
Petrograd and its environs were gem
orally quiet today, after sanguinary
fighting of recent days. The most des-
perate battles were fought around Cat
china and Tsarkoe-Selo. There Keren-
sky massed three Cossaek regiments and
4 large force of armored cars. For three
days his provisional government troops
fought with varying success against
the Bolsheviki. Tsarkoe-Selo changed
ands three tines. The Cossaeks, better
disciplined and armed than the Boil
shevili, managed at first to overcome
the disadvantage of smaller numbers.
Their recklessly brave charges repeat
edly recovered positions.
Cossacks Overwhelmed.
Finally, however, the Trotsky-Lenine
ministry massed an overwhelmingly SUI
perior number Of soldiers and the Cos
sacks were broken up. They had to sur
render.
