Wednesdays Reports
(From Union Record)

Reaffirming their stand for a
44-hour week, in spite of the storm
of disapproval raised over the ac-
ton which closed the shipyards last
Saturday, the Metal Trades Council
Tuesday night sent kilograms to
Secretary of Labor Wilson informing
him that no agreement has been
broken by the Seattle unions, but
that, instead, the Shipbuilding Labor
Adjustment Board has over-reached
it's own authority as given under
the memorandum creating it.
While holding rigidly to their
intentions of enforcing the Satur-
day half holiday, with double pay
for overtime if worked, the council
requested Secretary Wilson to COM
municate the contents of their tele-
gram to President Wilson and to
Chairman Macy of the Adjustment
Board. 1t is presumed, to answer
both Macy's charges that the Sc
attic unions have broken agreement,
and Secretary Wilson's intimation,
in a message received yesterday, that
the shipyard workers of this city
are beyond their rights in enforcing
the Saturday half holiday.
The telegram to Secretary Wilson
follows:
Adhered to Agreement
"Your message received. In re-
ply will state we have adhered strict
ly to international's agreement with
government, and would request Macy
Board to do the same. Memoran-
dunn under which this board operates
was signed by representatives of the
government and clearly states that
said board would have jurisdiction
when disputes arise between en-
ployer and employees in shipyards.
Several months ago an agreement
VISA reached with shipyards here
on shop conditions which brought
about uniformity in this city so bad
ly needed for successful shipbuilding.
This was not accomplished by any
boards decision and would tend to

Noted French General Receives
Promotion From Council
of Ministers.
pETAIN ALSO HONORED
Name Of Commander Foch Is Pre-
sented for Elevation by Premier
clemenceau In a Brief but
Eloquent Address.

Paris, Aug. 8.-General Ferdinand
Foch, commander-in-chief of the Allied
forces on the western front, has been
elevated to a marshal of France by
the council of ministers.
The ministers also have conferred
the military medal on General Petain,
commander-in-chie of the French
armies on the western front.
President Poincare presided at the
meeting of the council
In presenting the name of General
Foch, Premier Clemenceau said
At the hour when the enemy, by a
formidable offensive on a front of 100
kilometers, counted on snatching the
decision and imposing German peace
upon us, General Foch and his admir-
able troops yanquished him.
Paris is not in danger, Scissors
and Chateau Thierry have been recon
quered and more than 200 villages
have been delivered. Thirty-five thou.
sand prisoners and 700 cannon have
been captured and the enemy's high
hopes have been crushed The glori-
GUS Allies have thrown him from the
banks OF the Marne to the Aisne
Such are the results of the high com
mand's strategy, superbly executed by
Incompatible commanders. The con
tidence placed by the republic and all
the Allies in the conqueror of st. Gond
the User and the Somme has been
fully justified"
The awarding of the "Medaille Mill.
taire" to General Petain is a distinc.
tion rarely given to officers, the dec
oration being reserved for enlisted
men. Marshal Joffre is one OF the
few officers who have received the
honor.

Washington, Aug. Sin urging en-

March told the senate military com.
mittee the war department plans an
army of approximately 100000 men
to be raised as soon as possible.
About July 30 General March said
the United States reached a decision
to enlarge its military program to car
ry out the policies agreed upon at
the recent inter Allied conference at
Paris to speed up prosecution of the
war and bring 1t to an early conclu-
sion.
While realizing the Importance of
the measure, General March said, he
did not believe it necessary to recall

bill could be reported at that time

For the nav program Secretary N.
ID. Baker and other officials concluded

draft ages.
Want 100000 Army.
While about 100000 men are now
under arms, army officials think there
should be approximately 100000 at
home and in France. In order not to
disturb the present draft system and
to avoid calling men who had been
exempted, extension of the draft ages
is necessary.
From General March's testimony
and other information received the
committee has gained the impression
that while all men between the ages
of Is to As will be subject to military
duty under the new law, it is proposed
that those between Is and 20 years
of age shall be kept in this country

Yankee Machine Gun Crews Turn
Loose Hail Of EuIIets
on Germans.
UNABLE TO GET AWAY
6oches Are Caught In Terrible Fire
While Advancing to Attack
Force of American
Bridge Builders.

With the American Army on the
Aisne- Marine Front, Aug. S.-An en-
tire battalion of German 1nfantrymen
and machine gunners was wiped out
by the American machine gunners
protecting a location on the Vesle
river, west of Fismes.
The Germans at the time were get
ting into position to attack a group
OF American bridge builders who were
approaching the location.
Some bridge material already had
been moved near the south bank of
the Vesle and the Germans apparently
discovering this fact, had sent a bat
talon to hill position to prevent the
Americans carrying out their plan. A
detachment of crack American ma
chine gunners previously had taken
an elevated position commanding the
location and opened fire when the
Germans appeared.
No American Casualties.
Observers reported they did not see
a single German get away from the
leaden hail, and according to the last
accounts not even enemy stretcher
bearers approached the scene. The
Germans replied SO feebly with their
fire, because of the surprise, that
there were no American casualties.
With their backs to the Aisne, the
Germans continued preparations today
for what may be either a stiff resist
ance to give them more time for fur
ther withdrawal or a definite stand.
Minor actions among the American
portion Of the front and in the adjoin-
ing French sectors marked the day.
Fismes Still Strongly Held.
The little force of men who were
sent into Fismes still maintains its
foothold, although it is not yet across
the river, which flows through the ex.
treme north portion of the town.
Under heavy barrage all their
wounded have been taken out and dur
ing the night food was taken to them.

MALVY IS CONVICTED
Former French Interior Minister
Will Be BaniShed.
High Court Finds Prisoner Guilty ot
Holding Communications With
the Enemy.

Paris, Aug. 8. - For holding com
munication with the enemy, Louis j
Malvy, former minister of the interior
has been found guilty and sentenced
to five years banishment. The sen
tence, however, does not carry civil
degradation.
Louis ]. Malvy, minister of the in.
terror in the Viviani BRAND and Ribot
cabinets, was reckoned one of the
most astute political figures in France
The high court dismissed the charge
of treason or completely in treason,
but found Malvy guilty of disregard.
ing, violating or betraying the duties
of his office.
1t was proved, according to the ver-
dict, that he was guilty of the plan
fomented in France to destroy the de-
fense of the country by undermining
the morale of the nation and destroy
ing discipline in the army by Great
ing seditfous newspapers, the dissem-
ination of pamphlets and speeches and
lectures.
The judgment said Malvy was aware
of this criminal undertaking, which
was declared to be the principal cause
of the mutinies of May and June
1917.
1t was in July, 1917, that his posi-
tion was first assailed. AT that time
nj. Clemenceau, now French premier
charged that M. Malvy was spreading
"Defeatist" propaganda among the
troops, and M. Malvy's resignation OF
his post as minister of the interior
was announced early in August.
