Of the artillery uproar died away and
the attack began with tanks.

POSTPONE HEATING
 LATE AS POSSIBLE

Conservation is the keynote to everything nowadays, and in order to show the patriotism of every one, it is necessary that cooperation should prevail. Although there is no fear as yet of coal shortage, still last winter has put many consumers to thinking, and in order to be assured of more comfortable conditions in the fuels situations this year, it has been recommended by T. J. Pardy of the Bridgeport Fuel Board to post pone heating the plants, industrial buildings, and private homes as long as possible. The request issued by MT. Pardy is as follows:
 While the local Fuel Board recog- nizes the fact that no definite date can be set for starting heating plants in the office or industrial buildings of this city, they wish, however, to se- cure the cooperation of every con- sumer whether using hard or soft coal by their delaying the starting of fires for heating purposes as long as possible; also that all persons em- ployed in these offices recognize that they may help in conservation of coal by wearing heavier clothing rather than to depend upon artificial heat. Whatever coal can be saved during the month of September will be avail able for use when really cold weather sets in, and prevent suffering to many persons during the really indictment weather"

if the Americans, French and British keep up their advance from the west ern front.
 It was expected that General March would have announced yesterday something with respect to the landing of American troops at Archangel and their future operations. He was de- tained, however, at the Capitol and did not hold his usual Wednesday conference with the press.
 The State Department, however, threw a strong light on the success of the military operations in Russia. It was announced that Q courier had arrived at Samara from Moscow, who gave an account of the utter desola- tion of things there, the lack of gov ernment and the fearful misrule of the Bolshevik authorities. The courier reported that the Germans were evac- | uating the Baltic provinces" This Is taken to indicate that the Germans are anticipating the success of the Allied and American forces descend ing from Archangel and the Japanese and other troops moving along the trans-Siberian railroad to meet in the Orenberg province.
 War Department officials are not | disturbed over the report that Ger
 many is utilizing or will endeavor to utilize Bulgars on the western front | They point out that the progress of | the British and French in Macedonia will have the offset of keping all but l few Bulgarians strictly at home.

APPROVES
 EIGHT HOUR DAY.
Decision by Umpire to Af- feet Labor of the Entire
 Nation.

In an award made public yesterday by the National War Labor Board in an action submitted to the board by a union of Moulders against the Wheling Moulders & Foundry Co.,, of West Virginia, a precedent of vital importance to all workmen in the country is contained. The decision clearly reflects the attitude of the government to the effect that eight hours of work in every period of 24 hours is all that should be required of human being and that privately owned interests should extend the same humans working agreements of- fered by the government.
 The question of the application of the eight-hour day policy to war time conditions has been the source of widespread unrest and dissatisfaction among working men of all classes. The elements involved proved too complicated to allow of a ununani- nous decision in the matter by the members of the War Labor Board and inasmuch as all decisions of that body must be unanimous it was neces- sary for the first time to submit the matter to an umpire, Justice Walter Clark. chief clerk of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, and one of ten men named as umpires and to be selected by lot for consideration of all cases upon which the War Board failed of agreement the award of Jus tice Clark automatically becomes the award the War Labor Board. It is the decision of Justice Clark that workmen should not be compell- ed to work more than eight hours day or any other reason than a we'll
 established emergency, and in his decision he provides for a democratic rather than an arbitrary means of es- tablishing the existence of the com polling emergency. Heretofore the employer has been priviIiged to de- eide whether an emergency existed, but, ccording to the terms of the new award, which will afford precedent for all future controversies in the matter of working days and their length all decisions regarding e-7er- gency will be reached by a majority | of the comittee representative of both employer and employees.
 The hours and terms of many unions of workmen are already es- tablished by federal statutes, but l more than two million men are em- ployed in conditions which make the new award of vital importance to them. It is the first great step in the application of the national policy of an eight hour day and forms prece-
 dent upon which all future controver- Gin rHi he d. l indicated,
 1 The case in point brought by the
 holders of West Vir ginia was based upon an agreement which had as it's
 first condition the assurance that
 eight hours would constitute a days | work for all moulders and coremak- i CTS. There were ether conditions
 named in the agreement, but the con-
 troyersy grew out of the meaning of
 that enc provision.
