BRIEF RESPITE
FOR CONGRESS
Adjournment of Special Ses-
sion is Looked for About
July l
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, June 4.-Congress faces
this week a brief respite from Its labor
with war legislation before launching
into what promises to be the most diff
ficult and possibly the Anal work of
the extraordinary session. Adjourn
ment around July is the goal of CAP
itol leaders.
with its docket cleared of all i'm
portant measures except the food con-
troll bill, the house is in recess until
Wednesday, in observance of army reg
istration day and to permit southern
members to welcome the confederate
veterans here for their reunion. The
senate hopes to recess until Wednesday
or possibly Thursday to await the re-
drafted war tax bill.
Finishing touches remain to be made
on important legislation virtually COM
pleted, including the espionage bill,
the $4,000, 000,000 war budget measure
and a few others. The war tax re-
draft in the senate and the food con-
troll measure in the house are schedul-
ed to have the right-of-way after this
weeks recesses. The senate finance
committee hopes to present the rewrit-
ten public war tax measure next
Thursday or Friday, and by the end of
the week the second and more import
ant food bill probably will be before
the house. These, with the priority
measure, constitute the majar legisla-
ton pending and with their completion
and passage of a dozen minor measures
adjournment will be in sight.

British Pilots Report That German

armies in France, via London. June 4.
While overcast skies have limited
the aerial offensive in the last few
days British pilots continue to bring In
accounts OF German airpianes breaking

attacked. This tendency has been
notable for more than q fortnight.
Once shot out OF control, the German

they finally crash 10 the ground, very
little wreckage can be seen.

Pacifists to Oppose
Gompers' Re- election
Victory for GOmpers

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 10.
Around the candidacy of Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers for re-elec-
tion at next weeks American
Federation of Labor convention in
Buffalo will rage the first real
pacifist fight in that organiza-
tions history.
The usual socialists opposition
to Gomper's administration will
this time be based on his war adj
vocacy. Plans for the fight on
Gompers were laid by the pacifist
labor element early this year.
Gompers and his cabinet who
leave here today and tomorrow
for Buffalo are prepared for the
battle. A veteran of many So
cialist attacks, Gompers is conf
dent he will defeat them again.
Prior to the test on Gompers
himself will come votes on his
war and after-the-war programs
for labor. He and the American
Federation of Labor executive
council also have formulated la
boris peace terms and war aims
which will be submitted to the
convention. The fight on these
will show the lineup on Gompers'
candidacy. Gompers will claim
for his policies the support of
President Wilson.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov. 10.
-Cablegrams from Ambassador
Francis in Petrograd, received at
the state department today, con-
firmed the overthrow of the ke-
rensky government.
One message, dated Nov. Z, and
another of the 8th, confirmed dis
patches which told of the arrest
of cabinet members and the bonn
bardment of the winter palace by
the cruiser Aurora.
The only other information the
state department had today from
Russia was contained In a tele-
gram which stated that all Ameri-
can Red Cross workers in Russia
are we'll.
The department said that moth
ing has so far developed upon
which this government can base
any alteration in its present pol
icy towards Russia. However,
until new reasonable govern
ment is established in Russia, the
United States will take no action.

to lend official support to wage
movements designed to maintain
the standard of life of the work
ers.
Victory for GOmpers
They are dead set, however,
against attempts to extort unrea-
sonable increases from employers
or from plants operated by the
government. They feel that all
such attempts are merely profit
eering with a club, and are pre-
pared to swing the full weight of
the nations civil power and mill
itary, If need be, against them.
They have reached this position
of sympathy with general wage in
creases, partly as a result of a
growing conviction that 1t il not
possible to bring the cost of liv-
ing below the present levels by
any form of government coercion,
and partly thru the inside diplo-
macy of Samuel Gompers.
Double Success
Long before war was declared
between the United States and
Germany, Gompers foresaw that 1t
was inevitable, and has since been
working night and day with just
two objects in mind: first, to
swing Americas workers solidly
behind the declaration of war and
scotch any pro-German influ-
ences; second. to intrench himself
and organized labor so solidly in
the administration's sympathies
that when he felt it necessary to
act in labor's interests during the
war, he would have, IL necessary,
direct aid from the administra-
ton.
He has succeeded to a remark
able degree in attaining both OBJ
jects.
The clearest indication of the
administrations attitude toward
wage increases is to be found in
the letter from Fuel Administra-
tor Garfield to President Wilson,
sustaining the coal miners de-
mands for large wage increases.
Convention to Act
This wage agreement will re-
suit" Garfield wrote, Gin an in
crease to miners of 50 per cent.
and to the best paid aborers of
78 per cent over the wages of
April 1, 1914. These increases
are not in excess of the advance
in cost of living for that period"
Few classes of labor have had
wage increases of rs or even SO
per cent over pre-war standards.
This formal statement, accepted
by the president, is therefore,
clear indication of how far the
administration believes it is neces-
sary to go to maintain the work.
ers' standard of living.
Definite plans for this great
wage readjustment will be
worked out at the convention IF
the A. F. of L., which is to meet
in Buffalo Monday.

LONDON. Nov. 10.-The battle
by which Kerensky hopes to save
Russia from the bolsheviki may
be impending around Petrograd
today, according to today's inter-

capital.
The proclamation of the Petro-

basis for belief in London that the
