KEYMEN WILL STRIKE
Western Union and TeIegraphers
Are Unable to Agree.
DecIination of Company to Submit to
Jurisdiction of National Board
Brings Crisis.

New York, June 4.-The National
Labor board Is unable to adjust the
differences between the Western Un-
ion Telegraph Company and those of
it's employees who are members of the
Commercial Telegraphers' Union OF
America. The company declines to
submit to the Jurisdiction of the
board.
The Western Unions decision be-
came known when the report of an ex-
ecutive session of the war board, held
here, was made public.
1t embodied report by w. II. Taft,
and FRANK p. Walsh. joint chairman
of the board, who conferred with New
comb Carlton, president of the West
ern Union, in an effort to compromise
the differences between the company
and those of its employees who had
been dismissed, 1t was charged, be,
cause they had Joined the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union of America.
Complaint against the company's &C
tion was taken to the war board and
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Walsh made an in
vestigation. They then submitted a
proposition in the nature of compro
mise based on the principles underly
ing the work of the war board. This
platform recognizes the right of mer
to organize and holds they should not
be discharged for membership ir
trades unions or for legitimate trade
union activitis.
This compromise proposal, under
which the Western Union was not re
quired to recognize the union and BY
which the union was bound not to use
the strike as weapon, was submitted
to Mr.. Carlton, but he declined posi-
lively to permit employees Of his com
pany to join the union, unless refer
endum of all the companys employees
showed that majority of them favor
ed such a step.
8. J. Konenkamp, president of th'
Commercial Telegraphers' union, aftel

General Bridges Discusses Pre-.
sent Battle Situation on
French Soil.
AMERICANS ARE IN LINE
British Military Authority In Wash
ington Says the Yankees May
Hold the Balance Between Vic
tory and Defeat.

Washington, June 4.-General
Bridges, head of a special military
mission to the United States, said
here in discussing the renewal of
the German drive that American
troops have become a vital factor in
the great battle in France and may
hold the balance between defeat and
victory.
This statement followed news from
the front that the American troops
have already been shifted into posi-,
tion to defend Paris.
Foes Three Objectives.
The detectives now before the Ger
mans, the general said, appear TO be
three-fold-the capture of Paris, the
division of the main Allied armies by
an advance through Amiens, and the
capture of the channel ports.
In concealing their preparations so
as to make a surprise attack, Gen.
eral Bridges said, the Germans were
aided probably by four factors-their
preponderance OF divisions, a good
railway system. the proximity of
woods to their first detectives where
large numbers of troops could be con-
cealed and the fact that this front
line had been organized for attack.
While now on narrow and danger
Gus salient the general said, the Ger
mans will be in favorable position
for advance on Paris should they be
successful in pushing out the west
leg of the salient and joining It up
with the Amiens salient That, he
said, appeared to be their intention
and they could be expected to call a
halt at the Marne.
Battle to Continue Weeks.
The Allies must now be prepared
either to see the offensive resumed
in the north soon, or else to see Ger
man divisions from the north sent
down to exploit the new successes.
The battle, he added. is likely tc
continue for weeks and will become
a long drawn out struggle of man
power, with the first duty OF the AL
lies to husband their resources BY
giving ground for men where posi-
bic.
"As the Germans began the attack
with only 16 divisions" he said, 81
would appear that it has been more
successful than they anticipated. Il
Is probable that 1t was at first in
tended either in the nature of sec
ondary operation in order to draw
Allied reserves from the well pro
tected Amiens salient, or to strike
a heavy blow for the Marne-in or
der to cut the main communication:
between Paris and Chalons-and u
widen the too narrow Amiens salien
by fresh operation.
"The German higher commant
probably considered in this case tina
the presence of large forces In from
of such vital points as Ypres an,
Amiens had pinned the bulk OF th
Allied reserves to these positions"

ENEMY DRIVE HALTED
French CounterbIoWs Hold Foe at
All Points.
Heavy Losses inflicted or Germans as
French Make Progress In Coun
ter Attacks.

London, June 4.-The German rush
towards Paris between the rivers
Marne and Ourcu is halted, according
to the official statement from Paris
French troops stood their ground inn
pact, near the Marne, and in dashing
counter attacks drove back the enemy
in other sections of the battlefield to
the northwest.
The main force of the German blow
was directed along the road that runs
from Chateau Thierry to Paris. The
French met 1t astride that road, to
the southeast of Bomreschess within
less than two miles of the river, aud
broke the assault by their fire.
French Take Prisoners.
Heavy fighting continued all night
along the whole front northeastward
to the Ourcq, a distance of about Is
miles, tha. French driving home num-
erous counterattacks with the result
that the Germans were forced to give
ground at several points. Prisoners
by the hundreds were taken by the
French, who likewise cut the German
up several during the various engage
ments.
Apparently the Germans made nc
further progress during the night in
other sectors, either on the other side
of Chateau Thierry along the Marine
and to the northeast, or in the Sois
sons and Noyon regions to the north
as the French are reported holding
their positions everywhere.
