BRITISH FRONT
HAS REACHED
HOLDING STATE
Only Minor Assaults for I'm
proving Position Are Now
Being Made

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS, April
1S.-tBy Associated Press Correspond
ent.-The operations on the British
front may now be said to have reach
ed temporary holding state.
Along the line of the recent ad.
vance toward Lens and st. Quentin
the process seems to be one OF alb
sorbtion. Minor assaults here and
there are improving the British posi-
tions. but the general battle scheme
is waiting for the developments OF
its next stages.
War operations involving such mum
bers are opposed to each other on the
western front necessarily move in
waves. The bringing up of supplies,
guns and ammunition during the time
offered by apparent lulls. is more
strenuous than the actual assaults
and is equally of Importance.
The British plunged forward during
the week and reached a greater depth
in shorter time than in any attack
on such a large scale since the en-
trenched war fare began.
On this front total of 227 large
guns were brought in together with
thousands of rounds of ammunition
which exceeds any haul during the
war.

DEMONSTRATING BIG

A representative of the Holt Manu-

demonstrating the big caterpillar trac,
tor, recently bought by the county
for road building. The machine works
like a charm. and there is no doubt
that it will prove a most profitable
investment.
The county is now well equipped to
do road work extensively and econom,
ically. We have a number of graders.
half dozen trailcrs with spreading
attachments and a big Holt tractor.
Today the tractor is working on the
county road just west of town, which
is in a very bad condition. Extensive
work is planned for the coming sum
mer, and it may be found advisable tc
buy another tractor.

GOVERNOR BOYLE TO
ACT AS MEDIATOR

About 80 men employed at the
quarry OF the Mound House Plaster
Works quit work Saturday on ac-
count OF the refusal OF the company
TO grant them a raise in wages from
SO TO 81 per day. 1t seems the mill
making a demand for an increase of
wages, the former from SO to 1926 and
the latter from SO to 81 per day. The
management of the company learning
of their intentions posted a notice to
the effect that all employees would re.
ceive an increase of 10 per cent in
their wages. The millmen accepted
the companys increase. but the quar-.
rymen quit. Most of the men came
TO Carson last evening. Governor
Boyle learning of the trouble. offered
his services as mediator, as provided
by the labor laws of the state. Man
ager Cotton of the company at Mound
House, was telephoned for this morn
ing and asked to meet with hte COVER.
nor and a committee from the quarry
men this afternoon in his office. Man
ager Cotton assented to this and will
arrive sometime this afternoon, when
an amicable adjustment OF the trouble
is hoped for.
The men state that under the pres
ent high cost of living they are justi
fed in asking for the increase. If the
controversy cannot be settled through
the mediation of the governor, then by
the consent of both parties, he can
under the law submit the matter to
board OF arbitration consisting OF
three members. one to be named by
the employer. the other by the men
and these two shall select the third
member. The findings of this board
the law states, shall be final and con
elusive upon both parties, unless sci
aside for error OF law apparent or
the record. II Is thought, however
that at the conferences between the
governor, the men and Manager Col
ton this afternoon, the matter will be
settled and the men will return tc
work.-Carson Appeal.
