TO BE OTHER ARRESTS

CHICAGO. Oct. 2.-Forty-five of the 160 I. w. w. members arrested by Federal secret agents on the charge of conspiring against the United States Government have been indicted by the Federal Grand Jury.
 The Government has secured evil dence which will likely result in other arrests in many important cit ies, in the nationwide campaign which has been under way for some time against those working to em- barrass the United States in it's present war.
 The assertions that the I. w. w. members have been using fund from German sources are gaining ground and it is believed that the Federal agents have direct evidence to this effect which will be brought out at the trial of those now indict- ed
 Details thus far given out show that the members of the order have been active in concerted manner in fomenting strikes and trouble throughout the country. and have been especially active wherever in dustrial enterprises were busy in getting out war material and pro- ducts.

TAe news from Argentina of <L-turbaEccs and demOnstra- tons against the Germans is yrsy indicative of the way the wind blows. There is no doubt that the German nation, also Sweden, is in for trouble. The people of the great republic tc the south are teyidently much against being used as a cats paw. Developments show the German action and activity in Argentina is similar to what it was in the United States. The Argentine government found it necessary to call out the great nt display of armed troops ever seen in the city of Bucnos Ayrcs to qsiell tue rioting which

WELSH TEMPLATE TRADE IS NOW ENJOYING
 A NEW PROSPERITY

SWANSEA, Wales, Oct. ?. The Welsh tinplate trade, which the late MT Joseph Chamberlain once de- scribed as a "decaying" industry and which received a severe setback by the Mckinley tariff in 1891. is enjoying a prosperity which only the necessary war restrictions are curtailing. Prices have more than trebled during the war despite the shortage of labor and restriction of supplies of steel bars. and practical ly every firm is paying or will pay excess profits.
 Before the war the basic prices of tinplates was twelve shillings and sixpence per box. now as much as fifty shilllngs is being obtained for unrestricted" plates but these rates will cease with the introduc- tion of the government price of thirty shillings.

Russians Begin a New Movement on East Front Against the
 Hun Enemy. ITALIANS ALSO BUSY Another Air Raid Over London; Allies Are
 Pressing the
 Enemy.

PARIS, Oct. 2.-A fierce German attack last night along both banks of the Mouse river and along the Verdun front was repulsed. Indi- cations are that the enemy suffer- ed heavy losses.
 French officials believe that the attack was preliminary to another 'strategical retirement since the allied forces have been pressing the Germans on the entire front from the sea to Alsace.
 Information received here shows that the Germans have been mak- ing heavy withdrawals from the Russian front to strengthen their lines in the eastern war zone.
 Important developments in the campaign outlined by the allied forces are expected to be announced in a short time.

The Senate Recedes, and Straight Exemption
 Bill Was
 Passed. CREDIT IS DUE SULZER AIaska's Delegate Earnest Iy Pleads Shortage of Labor, and
 Wins.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. - The Senate finally receded from its po- sition yesterday and passed the bill eliminating assessment work on mining claims for 1917 and 1918 as it passed the House of Represen- tatives. The action of the Senate conferees was the direct result of the earnest appeals of Delegate Charles A. Sulzer, who represented that there are not enough laboring men in Alaska to do the work re- quired in actual operations.
 The foregoing dispatch was con- frmed in a night letter received this morning by President Charles Goldstein of the Merchants Protec- ave Association from Delegate Chas. A. Sulzer. The letter follows:
 Washington, D.. C., Oct l, 1917, Charles Goldstein,
 Juneau, Alaska:
 "The two houses of Congress agreed today and passed bill which exempts every owner of lode or placer claim in Alaska or elsewhere from assessment work during the years 1917 and 1918.
 'The action of Congress came af- ter a reconsideration of the con- ference report as agreed upon sev- eral days ago by the Senate and House conference committee. The committee then decided to make simple, out and out exemption with out any restrictions whatever.
 "The bill now provides simply that claim owner must file a state ment that he holds the claim with the recorder of the district in which the claim is located. This notice is to be filed by December 31 of the year for which the exemption is de- sired.
 "Oil claims are not included be- cause members of Congress desire to hasten oil development every where.
 Please give this law the widest possible publication among miners and prospectors who are interested in its terms.

 Delegate from Alaska"
