Washington, Aug. 1O.-General
March said the whole line from
Rheims to Flanders was being
Strengthened and that the time had
come for the greatest effort Cen
eral Forch was following the sound
principle of hitting without relaxation.
'Wheq you get your enemy, keep him
going" The Picardy drive has put
the enemy in a bad pocket. He said
any suggestion that the end of the
war is at hand should be discouraged
The greatest advantages to the Allies
is that they have taken the offensive
and can keep the enemy guessing, in
stead of guessing themselves. Gen
eral Foch has met the temporary sta
bilization of the fighting on the Vesle
front by the Picardy blow, where a
duplication of the Marns events seems
likely. He said the Rainbow division
helped to break the enemy drive at
Rheims, July Is, and that in eight
days fighting the division forced the
passage of the Ourcq. met six differ
ent divisions and advanced sixteen
kilometers, taking prisoners from each

The Twenty ninth division is still
in Alsace southeast of Erinai. The
seventy-ninth is still in American

now arrived in France. It's infantry
has landed and its artillery is about
to land. The Twenty under

(By Associated PresS)

London, Aug. 10-German commu-
nications have been so disorganized
that thus far only two divisions of
reserves have been identified, and
these have not been able to make any
impression on the advancing Allies.
Eleven German divisions have been
so utterly crushed that the German
command has been unable to make
any counter stroke.

Montdidier state that they are meet

London, July 20.-The Paris CORE

that he climbed the hill to the Butte
of Montmartre the other day and
looked down over Paris beneath a pail
of smoke.
He trod the paths followed by the
pre-war tourists, traversing the Mont

began a steep climb up the Rue Leip-

the Butte. The Montmartois cannot
afford the luxury of flight, so they
carry on.

Louis Korb
No Longer Entitled To Use of Bakers
Union Label.

Bakers Union No. 81, has with
drawn the right to use their label
from Louis Korb, who conducts bak-
cry at 119 Main street. The reason
for this, the bakers say, is that Mr..
Korb has in his employ a man who is
not member of the Bakers union,
and while members have made every
effort to persuade him to join, he re-
fuses to do so, and that Mr.. Korb in
sists on retaining him. Under the cir
cumstances there was nothing else for
the bakers to do but withdraw the
right to the use of the label.
The products of Louis Korb in the
future will not bear the union label
or at least until matters are adjusted
and the bakers ask all union men and
women and friends of organized la
Dor to take cognizance of this fact and
act accordingly

The unanimous verdict is that it
was the biggest thing in the way of
Labor Day celebration ever pulled
off in any city twice the size of Ham
ilton.
The parade was the biggest, finest
Labor Day parade, and we might add,
the most patriotic parade, ever seen
in Hamilton. Nearly 5000 men and
women marched to show their loyalty
to the labor movement and by the dis
play of flags and banners leach par
ticipant carried an American flag
showed their patriotism and loyalty
to the flag, the country and the gov
ernment.
Promptly at o'clock Andrew Lentz,
grand marshal of the parade, gave
the signal to start and the big parade
began moving over the principal
streets of the city.
Organized labor of this city never
demonstrated it's strength as it did in
the parade on last Monday. With
nearly 5000 men and women in line
and with four bands playing and the
banners embiematic of the various To-
Gals they represented, with many large
flags flying and each man and woman
in line carrying small American flag
and marching four abreast, with heads
erect, the sons and daughters of toll
certainly made an inspiring sight good
for eyes to look upon and drew con-
slant manifestations of wonder and
admiration from the great crowds who
lined the sidewalks all along the line
of march.
Grand Marshal Lentz had as his
aides Ted Smith of Machinists' union,
and Tim Farley of Molders' union No.
SO.
All the unions made splendid
showing, but there are several that
are deserving of special mention. One
was the Machinists' union No. 241,
whose great numbers was the cause
of much wonderment. The machinists
sprung something absolutely new to
Hamiltonians. At their head marched
a number Of lady members. Right

now we want to prepare the public for
large demonstration by the ladies'
branch of machinists next Labor Day.
They are coming. The molders and
carpenters were also represented by
big numbers. But the organization
to draw most attention, although small
in numbers, was the Textile Workers
union No. 1899. The public seemed to
remember the big fight put up by
these girls year ago and they were
given a hand all along the line.
Upon the arrival of the parade at
the fair grounds the twenty-sixth an
nual outing was declared on and ready
for business and pleasure And bust
ness and pleasure it was away up
nearly to midnight Despite the clouds,
despite the rain, the crowds poured
in until at night it was estimated that
there was near twenty thousand peo-
pie on the ground. All the stands sold
out early and could have sold much
more goods if they had them. The
country store, the largest and finest
ever on the fair grounds, sold out be-
fore seven o'clock. The people fairly
fought to get to this store, drawn by
the splendid prizes it contained.
The dance hall couldn't accomo-
date half those that wanted to take
part, many were disappointed, but all
took it good-naturediy. At o'clock
Prof. Robinson made beautiful and
sensational balloon ascension and par
achute drop.
The fireworks display at 10 0o'clock
was a grand one. 1t was at this time
that the rain poured and the wind
blew the hardest, soaring many away
Those who left, missed the greatest
sight ever witnessed on the grounds
in connection with a fireworks display
With the rain pouring and the wind
blowing the fire in all directions, the
fireworks proved spectacular fea-
ture not on the bills.
Thus was closed the most successful
financially as well as socially, Labor
Day celebration and outing in the his
tory of organized labor in Hamilton
IT WAS ONE GRAND SUCCESS.

GERMAN JUNKERISM
AIMS DEATH BLOW
AT UNIONS
CURTAIL RIGHT TO
MEET
Labor Men Looked Upon as
Traitors and Criminals.
Despotic Treatment
May End In
CatastrOphy

Meetings of labor unions in Ger
many are daily becoming more haz-
ardous because of the restrictions
placed around them by the military
authorities, says the current bulletin
of the Friends of German Democracy,
quoting from a description of indus
trial conditions written by a leading
German The spirit of the Prussian,
who regards trade unionist as a
criminal and traitor, is rampant,
writes this German, and public senti-
ment is rapidly veering from dissat-
isfaction and unrest to one of indig-
nant protest and disastrous strikes.
The bulletin states:
"As far as the right of assembly
of the unions is concerned, the latter
could in the first three years of the
war count on cooperation especially
under Minister of War Wandel Gen
eral Won Wriesberg was very accom-
modating in regard to their COM
plants.
"This understanding suddenly un-
derwent change which conceded
with the resignation of Imperial
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Ho Hollweg.
That is certainly not an accident.
"The fact is that Bethmann-Holl-
veg had some influence on the mill
tary power and was animated by the
earnest desire to investigate the JUS
titled complaints made by the unions.
That can unfortunately not be said
of the present head Of the govern
ment. The district of the Sixth army
corps is in this regard again the worst.
Restrictions of the right of COM
bination and assembly were only re-
scinded after complaint had been reg
istered with the ministry of war at
the instigation of General Wriesberg,
| but Immediately after the furious
strike of the miners in Upper Silesia,
which all the unions tried to settle,
were again introduced not only in the
district in which the strike had taken
place, but in the entire district under
the jurisdiction of the Sixth army
corps, and also in Breslau, where q
strike had never taken place. The
lonly purpose which can be determined
lis the suspension of the activity OF
the unions.
Through the order forbidding the
holding of meetings, which are just
what clears the atmosphere when any
discord arises suddenly, strikes of the
widest sort are actually furthered. II
Silesia the authorities act entirely ac
cording to the wishes of the priv!
councillor of mines Berger, who re
CARDS every union laborer as Grim
ina1 and traitor.
"It was the great strike wav
which swept over Germany in Febru
airy of this year which brought abou
the first strike in Breslau, which wa
only a protest against the genera
command. Why then have hardly an,
strikes taken place in South German,
and above all industrial and Socialis
Saxony?
"The rigorous measures of the gen
eral command are the hot-bed of dis
satisfaction and revolt. In Silesi
