between fifteen and eighteen may not
work more than six hours day and

and conceded without restrictions to
all sections Of the population
Every place employing more than

ers themselves.
Insurance which will guarantee
every man and woman out OF job
a place to eat and sleep and some
thing to wear would be provided by

ed to establish ministry of work
ers' social legislation.
In addition to this, there is long
and detailed list of demands provid

Actual Participation on Fields

Be Fact.
EXPECT ANNOUNCEMENT
General Wood Hurt In Accidental Ex-

Incident Being
Withheld.

TUnited Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-That a
fresh announcement Of American par.
ticipation in actual battle will be
forthcoming soon, was the belief OF
many here today.
This thought was strengthened by
the fact that several infantrymen the
past week have been reported killed
or wounded Gin action" while Major
General Leonard Wood has been hurt
by an accidental explosion in France
News of the wounding OF Wood,
former chief of staff, but now com
mander Of Camp Funston, Kansas,
was included in a dispatch from Am
erican headquarters, telling that two
of his staff, Lieutenant Colonel Kill
bourn and Major Joyce were injured
and five French soldiers had been
killed. Another dispatch from Cen
eral Pershing related that five in
fantrymen had been hurt in action.
Where or how either Of these In
cidents occurred, was unrevealed.
Wood, like other general officers,
had been having chance at seeing
American training at close range,
but the accident may have occurred
at a point on the allied battle line.
The casualties of the past week
indicate that portion of the Ameri,
can forces may be finishing their
training by having front line expert,
ence. Pershing has not illuminated
his casualty reports, but it is likely
that the cases resulted from patrol
clashes or small trench raids.
