TRACTION COMPANY
AGREES ON WAGE
SCALE WITH MEN

wage differences between the Capt
tai Traction Company and its en-
ployes have been settled. and the re-
quest for arbitration by the District
Commissioners has been withdrawn.
The men are to receive wage In
ereases averaging 3 cents an hour. to
become effective March %. The new
scale is 80 cents an hour for men in
the hrst year of service, 81 cents for
the second year, 81 cents for the third,
81 cents for the fourth, and IS cents
for the NTH year and over.
The present scale runs from - to
80 cents an hour. The men originally
demanded q fiat Accent rate, and the
company offered an increase of
cents an hour. and failure to get
these figures together resulted in the
Joint request on the Commissioners
for arbitration. After the request
was in, the men reopened negotia-
lions. which led no to the agreement
signed late yesterday.

the stream. After inficting grim
casualties the French have wiped out
at single blow German tactical sue
cesses. The Teutons now are being
held at point which will become ex-
tremeiy perilous to them in case the
French further develop their operations
to the east of Belloy and st. Maur to
the northwest.
Though the situation west of the
Disc has taken turn in favor of the
allies, that east of the river remains
matter of doubt. Here the French
have given up Carlepont forest and
withdrawn their line almost due east
and west from the vicinity of Ribe-
court through Bailly, Tracy de Val
and Nampcel. This withdrawal, though
undoubtedly disappointing, has the ad-
vantage of Strengthening the French
line and removing a source of danger
in the sharp salient stretching north
ward to the southern bank of the
Disc. Undoubtedly the new line was
prepared in advance. Inasmuch as the
French carried out their movement
quietly and unknown to the enemy it
may be a day or so before the main
armies come in complete contatc in
this region.
In German attacks against the
French positions to the east of Villers-
Cotterets along the scissors Marine
line are seen the old German pincer
tactics, employed, but unsuccessfully,
at Verdun. PROFESSIONALLY prepara-
tions along this line are intended to
gain territory to the west, that union
may be effected with german forces
operating below Montdidier and
Noyon. Success would absolutely pre-
clude the possibility of the French
holding further in the Oise-Aisne re-
gion. At the same time Hindenburg
and Ludendorf would have taken long
steps toward Strengthening their line
from Montdidier and the Marine and
eliminating the chief points Of danger
to the general movement in the direc-
ton Of Paris.

Henry Ford for Senator.

Tho democrats Of Michigan have
asked Henry Ford, q republican, to be-
come their candidate for United States
senator. He is not requested or ex-
pected to change his politics. He finds
favor in the eyes Of his opponents by
reason Of his SUPPORT Of the war.
Though once an active paeinst, he
changed position after America enter
ed the war, and has since been, and is
now, aggressively for the prosecution
Of hostiities.
There are several republican aspir.
ants for tho senatorship, appealing
regularly for party support, while one
prominent democrat is under discussion
as . democrat for the Office. All are
outspoken advocates Of victory by
force.
This action Is based upon the demo.
cratic Endorsement, IN which the Presi.
