ADJUSTMENT IS NOT AGREEABLE
 TO EMPLOYEES
"A associated PreSS)


 SEATTLE, Nov 5.-Much dissat- isfaction is prevalent among the ship yard workers over the wage scale adopted by the federal wage board which has been acting as mediator in the recent troubles in Pacific and northwest shipbuilding plants. The leaders declared that the scale as adopted cuts the wages of many workers below that earned by them under the sca1e which was the cause of the trouble.
 There is some talk of a strike in local plants, and unless a more sat isfactory adjustment is made, there is some probability that workmen in every Pacific coast plant will walk out in a few days. The lead CTS are, however, endeavoring to avert a general strike and are con sidering a personal appeal to Presi- dent Wilson. It is thought that a delegation from the Pacific coast would be able, by showing the Presi- dent the injustice which the pro posed wage scale would work on hundreds of workers, to secure a more euitable schedule.
 Reports rom Portland and San Francisco state that the workers in both these cities are lined up with the local workers and that they will all absolutely refuse to accept the new scale, and will call a strike if there is no other way in which to obtain their ends.

PR0DUCTIONO OF
 AlRPLANES IS
 BEING DELAYED
ASNlnLltnl Ir...A


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov 5.- The attention of the government was today directed to the many in fluences working to delay construc- tion work on Americas vast aerial fleet The officials declare that they are convinced that the pro-Germans and German agents in the United States have worked out in detail a comprehensive plan for delaying this work and that the numerous incl dents which are responsible for this delay are directly traceable to these sinister influences.
 It is the opinion of the govern ment that drastic campaign will have to be undertaken against those responsible for the situation before any relief can be had Thousands of people are engaged in this work of delay and hindrance in the vital sections of the country.
 In the northwest districts there have been numerous cases of short age reported from the mills, and many disastrous forest fires have been started in the spruce woods of these districts with the deliberate intention of creating confusion and loss. It is from these woods that most of the wood to be used in airplane manufacturing is being ob- tained.
 Another source of menace is the daily toll of accidents which are reported with more frequency each day. Labor troubles are being fo- mented in nearly all the northwest ern mills with a view or causing strikes. It is stated that the Indus trial Workers of the World are main ly responsible for the present state of affairs, which cannot be allowed to continue The department of justice has a number of men work ing on these disorders, and evidence is being gathered which it is thought will land a large number of pro Germans behind the bars for the re mainder of the war.

 GATHERING FOR
 GREAT MEETING
( tASSDgi4tel Press


 PARIS, Nov. 5.-Enroute for Rome, where an important conference be tween the Italian cabinet, British representatives, and Premier Pain leve, of France, Lloyd George, pre- mier of England, today held pro tracted interview with General Persh- ing commander of the American forces in France. The subject of the conversation is withheld from publication General Pershing made the trip from the American field headquarters at the special request of the British officials General Sir Douglas Haig, commander of the British armies in France, also at tended the conference, as did Pre- mier Painleve of France.
 Lloyd George, Premier Painleve and Sir. Wm. B. Robertson will travel together to Rome at once. These men will meet with the Itali- an government officials and go over the problems raised by the new Austro-German offensive thoroughly. It is the wish of the allied govern ments to know the worst of present conditions so that adequate measures may be taken to give Italy full protection and assure the defeat of the present German efforts which threaten to overrun a large part of Italy.
 After the conference with General Pershing it was announced that both England and France have already dispatched men to the Tagliamento front, and if it is considered neces- sary will hurry additional reinforce ments at once. It is believed in some quarters that the conference with Pershing was taken in order to see just when the Americans could be counted on to assume control of a larger portion of the French trench es independently of any other na- tion's troops. However, if this was discussed, no announcement was made regarding such possibility.

 THREE SAMMIES

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Nov. D.. Three men killed. five wounded and twelve either captured or missing is the outcome of the first armed clash between armed forces under the American Flag and the German troops in France The attacks upon the American positions occurred No Yember 3, when the Germans rushed an exposed salient of the French defensive trenches which was occu- pied by a few American troops un- der process of receiving the finish ing touches of the intensive military training
 The assaulting forces advanced against the American positions under cover of terrific barrage fire of the German artillery and were given almost perfect protection by this. The salient which the Americans were stationed in was completely isolated from the main body of the American troops and no chance was available to send endorsements to rescue those who were in danger
 The Americans fought gamely in the face of vastly overwhelming numbers and took one wounded pris- oner Numbers of German dead were scattered around the trenches, showing that the positions were dear Iy won It is believed that the Ger mans attacked as soon as they learn ed that the American forces had taken up their positions along the French front The Americans were commanded by veteran French off cers and had entered the exposed salient to complete the course of in tensive training which is being given them preparatory to turning over a portion of the battlefront to them entirely.
 Those killed were Privates Thos. F. Enright, James B. Gresham and Merle D. Hay. None of the men on the casualty list were from either the Pacific northwest or Alaska. The names of the wounded and missing are not given yet
 The war department states that it is uncertain whether the Ameri- cans captured Saturday in French trenches under the command of vet eran French officers are the prison CTS referred to in Saturdays dispatch from Berlin claiming to have taken several Amercan prisoners, but it is thought extremely probable, as no report has been received from Gen eral Pershing regarding the loss of other soldiers.
