Department of Labor Orders Manu-
facturers To 0ffer No Superior
Inducements To Men.
BECOMES EFFECTIVE AUG. 1
Cooperation and Assistance On the
Part of All Employers Asked by
Officials Now.

Factories engaged in non-war
manufacturing must not offer in
ducements to labor after Aug. /, ac-
cording to a statement issued by
the department of labor in Wash
ington
The new ruling, which forces all
, employers hiring 100 or more men
who are engaged in war work to
secure their help through the fed
eral employment offices, becomes
effective the last of this month
Questions from factory owners who
are working under government
contracts, are answered in the
statement issued in Washington as
follows:
In answer to many inquiries
from employers not engaged in
war work, it is found necessary to
emphasize the fact that the present
labOr-recruiting and supply policy
of the United States employment
service is exclusive only so far as
manufacturers engaged on war
contracts and with over 100 en-
rlOyeS are concerned.
THE essential feature of the pol
icy, whereby after Aug. l all I'M
skilled and eventually all skilled
labor for war production must be
recruited through the federal en-
ployment service, is the efficient
mobilization and distribution of the
| labor necessary to carry on sue
cessfully the war industries of
America. Nonwar industries are
affected only indirectly. But they
are, one and all, affected indirectly,
from the fact that the war indus
tries of the nation are now of par
amount Importance, demanding
sacrifice and cooperation from all
employers not engaged in war
work that they may function with
maximum efficiency.
Must Not Compete.
"Nonwar industries. therefore,
must not offer superior induce
ments, prevent the transfer OF
workers urgently needed for war
production, or in any way attempt
to compete with the government for
labor.
THE following five classes of la
Dor need not at the present time be
recruited through the United States
employment service, although, of
course, the machinery of the en-
ployment service is available to all
employers needing these classes:
q. Labor which is not directly
or indirectly solicited.
80. Labor for railroads Except in
so far as the director general of
railroads has already or may in the
future require that recruiting shall
be exclusively through the United
States employment service.)
80. Farm labor-to be recruited
in accordance with existing ar
rangement with the department of
agriculture.
-. Labor for nonwar work.
"5. Labor for Establishments the
maximum force of which Gnclud-
ing the additional number recruit
ed does not exceed 100 employees"

LONDON, Sept. 4.-The canal Du Nord and the Tortille river have been crossed on a wide front north of Mois. lains, by English and Welsh troops, according to Field Marshal Haig's communication issued tonight Mois lains lies about three miles north of Peronne.
 The statement says:
 English and Welsh troops forced a passage of the Tortille river and the canal Du Nord on a wide front north of Moislains. During the early part of the day the enemy held the east banks of the river and canal and with artillery and machine gun fire en. deavored to arrest our advance at this line

PHIL TOVREA GOES
 WITH CONTINGENT
 FROM THIS COUNTY
HAS NOT BEEN EXEMPTED BY THE LOCAL OR DISTRICT BOARDS AS REPORTS HAVE BEEN cIRcULATEO-wAs RE JEcTED ONCE

There has been considerable discus sion and rumors made criticizing the local draft board and the district board that they had exempted Phil Tovrea from servIce ana that he was being allowed an exemption without just cause Such is not the case. The young man has been ordered to report to the local board in Tombstone this afternoon and will be sent from Tombstone on the fifth of September to Camp Kearny with some forty oth- CT young men from Cochise county.
 On account of the various rumors that were being circulated the Review made an investigation of the facts in the Tovrea case. He offered his ser vices to the government in the first officers training camp but failed to pass the medical examination and was rejected He was examined by Dr. Hunt and rejected. Upon the re-exaIl- ination being ordered recently he was again rejected by Dr. Hunt and the medical advisory board passed him. After he had been rejected by the army doctors and Dr. Hunt, he and his father thinking that he would not be called soon made arrangements to broaden their busineess. After he had been certified by the medical advisory board he made a claim for exemption on account of the business interests. This claim was rejected by the local board and the ruling of the local board was sustained by the district board. From the ruling of the district board an appeal was taken to the president but this appeal has not been acted upon and the order for him to report must be complied with.
 He is at the present time under in- dictment with others in the United States court at Tucson and is out on bond which requires his appearance in court when the case is called and the Question arises if he should be inducted into the army under orders and sent where he could not be pres ent. would the court have the right to forfeit the bail.

the British had pressed ahead four attack on August 2L
 Even as General March talked, word came from the battle front that the enemy had been hurled still further back along the DOuai-Cambrai line and indicating the British early today stood within five miles of this Cam brai pivot to this German defense position.
 Reports from Flanders and on the Vesle indicated that new retirements were in progress in both places. due to the continuation of the British thrust in the center and General Mangin's flanking movement toward the Che min Des Danes The advance of FrancO-American forces across the Vesle indicates that the German line at this end of the battle front is be- ing forced back toward the Aisne by the pressure from the flank
 In all the dispatches from abroads officers here noted again today. yelled indications that some new and import ant phase of the battle to be expected shortly There was an air of expect tAAIf diuoAlS hutll uNNAllIlai anu atAuA- official commentators which produced the impression that Marshal FOch is preparing for a new blow If this is the case, it is believed here that the employment of General Pershing's army may well be included in the plans. the object being to hit with full force of the American and allied arm ies now that the German disorganiza- tion appears to be spreading and his line wavering.
 The reports tonight indicated to many observers that the enemy was withdrawing along his whole front from Flanders to Rheims. This was the deduction made from the new French advances in the pocket formed by the Disc line around the Ham Guiscard-C Chauny triangle and also from the movement across the Vesle. If it develops that the Germans have been forced by the rupture of their center to attempt such a wholesale re- treat. it is argued that Marshal FOch might we'll believe that the moment to attempt a decisive stroke had come.

provision somewhat broader. It was rejected.
 Chairman Sims said no attempt could be made to vote again On the amendment in the house, and indica- tions were that the measure would be passed tomorrow with the net invest ment retained. It was said an at- tempt would be made to reach com promised in the senate.
 Chairman Sims and MT. Ferris in urging adoption of the fair valuation clause based their argument on the ground that the net investment fea- ture would make recapture so onerous that private interests would have a perpetual franchise
 Mir. Ferris said the latter plan ex- cluded the right of public ownership.
 In the debate today Representative Sinnott of Oregon, criticised what he termed presidential interference with Legislation. In all war legislation, he said, he had supported the president and in other matters had given care full and respectful consideration to whatever he had said to the house.
 Without assigning any reason ex- cept an erroneous one," he said, "the president asks us to abandon the work of the power committee and insert the fair valuation clause. This is a sub ject on which the president could not have had complete information unless he had spent many months of investi- gation.
 When his utterances bear evidence of the presidents mature and thought full consideration, they are persuasive and should not be disregarded, except for the most cogent reasons. But when they bear upon their face posi- tive evidence that they are not the re- suit of mature and deliberate consid- eration they should be disregarded ac- cordingly.
 As an illustration of his intemper- ate utterances we have too proud to fight the republican party has not had an advanced thought in twenty years and Senator Chamberlain is guilty of distorting the facts"
 In considering the water power mea- sure, MT. Sinnott said the president was not in possession of the exact facts"
 Representative McArthur of Oregon, said he would oppose all attempts to insert a government ownership clause in the bill, declaring there already is too much government ownership.
 The house went on record today as forcing the )fifty. year lease period with the government or any municipal ity having the right to take over pow erprojects at the expiration of leasing period upon payment of the net invest ment. An amendment by Represen. tative Doremus of Michigan, giving the government the right to take over the projects at any time was voted down.

 One man told a story of how when the town was gassed he had searched around until he found a dead German and removed the gas' mask, taking it back to his mother, who was hiding in a cellar. On September l, he said, the entire population was ordered evacuated by the Germans. Some de- cided that, rather than to miss the chance of escape, they would hide and await deliveran2e. The Germans, anxious to get away themselves did not take time to search the town thoroughly.
 The refugees said that since 1914 the food had steadily become worse, until at last it was just enough to keep them alive, but it did not give them sufficient strength to work. It was almost impossible for them to get clothing. They had not been allowed to leave their little town since the Germans first swept into it, almost four years ago.
 Headquarters reports from the northern part of the front say that further progress has been made at several places along the line.

DRAFT EVADER
 STARTED ON
 WAY ID CAMP
William P. Richards of Marys- vile, Cal, Who Was Ar rested Here Last Week Is
 Sent in Irons to Camp

William P. Richards, who boasts that he nas escaped from three boards in California and that he never would be landed in a U. s. army camp, was started on his way frOm tombstone yesterday morning in run n charge If the contingent that left there this morning. He got away from the board in Marysville. Cal, ana was picked up in Los Angeles and after putting up a bond on an appeal made his escape and went to San Diego, where he pulled the same stunt and came to- Bisbee about two weeks ago. He was picked up here after he had been Ter about a week. and was taken to Tombstone and held in the county jai. Until this morning. His wife ac- companies him in all of his travels and furnishes the money for him.
 When he was taken 70 Tombstone and placed in the county jail, the kan garoo court was called in session and he was fined the usual amount of S2. which goes to the tobacco fund. He stated that he did not have any money. The prisoner was ordered searched by the judge of the court and the Rich ards began to show the baby act, and put up a holler, but this availed him nothing, and he was caught and thrown down and searched. His wife. who was i1e the vicinity, heard him yell, and created quite a scene. but they finally dug up the fiAe for the court
 Yesterday morning after the con tingent had reached the depot in Tombstone to take the train, he again displayed the coward, and began to yell AS the irons were being placed on him he said that they were a lot of towards, and that he would never get him to a camp; that his wife had more money than anybody in Cochise county and she would get him out During the scuffle he was called a "deserter" and ~then he rose on his dignity and offered to fight, saying that if they would take the handcuffs off he would make them eat those words. His wife took part in the melee and became hysterical, and for a few moments things were lively, Richards saying: This might cost me twenty-five years, but I will not go." He was .subdued and was placed aDOdlQ luC LldAu anu oldIlGu HIS way. His wife boarded the same train and went along.
 The guard in charge expects to have trouble with him. and in case they do. Mir. Richards is likely to find that the Cochise county bunch is made up of fighters, and that will start on him for practice in learning how to handle the Huns.
