AT COLUMBUS STILL ON

COLUMBUS. Ohio. July IAN end
to the strike OF Columbus street car
men begun yesterday. was in sight
today when Mayor George ]. Karb
received a telegram from the national
war labor board, directing MIN to no
tify representatives OF tho unson that
they should return to work immedi-
ately and submit their differences
Jointly with the company to the war
board for adjustment
Union men say tho strike was called

ployes by the company. who. the COM
pany officials claim, were discharged
for violating rules.
1t is said that Columbus has 125 in
dustries engaged in making war ma
terials for the government. The em-
ployes will not be discommoded, but
thousands of other workers in other
industries will be forced to walk to
work. There has been no violence of

During the night of June 26 to June
27, hostile raid took place between
II o'clock evening and 1 o'clock
morning. Details will be furnished

I. 1T is reported that the Germans at
one point have been attempting to
make friends with our men. On the
morning of June 25 they made signs
slgnifying Good morning They had
deposited some kittens on the para
pets of the small posts and threw a
package Of cigarettes into one of our
barbed wire entanglemsnts. Our SOL
diers do not reciprocate thesea item
tions.
Gun Fire Is Intermittent.
"Raiding activity has not been
above normal on either side. The
fire of the German artillery has been
light and has not included any marked
concentration. His machine gun fire
has consisted of intermittent bursts
and scattered shots distributed on
various points along the front of our
sector. The same Is true Of his rifle
and grenade fire. A few hand gre
nades have fallen in front of our
trenches. The German airplanes
confined their activity to reconnais-
sance duty. Most Of them remained
over our lines only for short periods
and some remained at very high alti-
tude. In some cases our anti-aircraft
batteries succeeded in driving them
off. The German balloons showed
normal activity.
Behind the German res the most
interesting feature was again the
appearance Of considerable groups of
men and women engaged .gr.cul-
tural work in the fields. TIL. b. groups
are at present largely eHEaged in

individuals and small groups passing

was also the usual movement of
wagons, trucks and trains. In the
matter of works the enemy is show
ing considerable activity in repairing
those already constructed and in max
ing additions at several points. The
works are Of the customary sort. One
of his working parties was broken up

REGARDS THE PROPOSAL
AS AFFECTING WAR WORK
Unwilling to Abate the Advantages
Accorded Labor Before Begin
ming of Hostilities.

The House passed the legislative
bill this afternoon, eliminating
the Borland amendment providing
for nm eiRht-hour day for govern
ment workers. The House added an
amendment to apply the $40 FIAT
Increase to all war bureaus. such
as the shipping board. food and
fuel administrations and others es-
tablfshed since January i, 1915.
President Wilson today vetoed the
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill, containing the Bor-
land amendment which required gov
ernment employees to work eight hours
a day without extra pay for overtime
He disapproved of the Borland pro
vision.
The House by vote of 246 to so re.
fused to override the Presidents veto.
Among those who voted to override
the veto were Representative Borland,
father of the amendment; Chairman
johnson of the House District com
mittee, and Chairman Sisson of the
subcommittee on appropriations for
the District.
President Wilson Views.
In vetoing the bill the President
said:
At the outset of the war felt II
my duty to urge all employees in
the United States to make spe-
cial effort to see to It that the
conditions of labor were in no
respect altered unfavorably to the
Iaborers. 1t has been evident from
the first how directly the strain Of
this war is to bear upon those who
do the labor which underlies the
whole process OF mobilizing the
nation, and it seemed to me at the
outset, as 1T seems TO me now, that
1T Is of the highest importance that
the advantages which have been
accorded labor before the war be-
gan should no be subtracted from
or abated.
Having taken this position in an
earnest appeal to other employers.
I do not feel justified in asserting
to a measure in which the United
States as an employer changes tho
conditions of the labor of its own
employees unfavorably to them, and
l feel the freer to take this posi-
tion because 1 have not learned
from any quarters that the en-
ployes of the government in the
District have been slack in their
labor or have demurred from doing
any of the necessary additional
tasks which the time and the ex-
igensy requires. On the contrary.
/ have learned that they have
cheerfully done additional labor.
and have not needed the compul-
sion Of law.

Il. M. McLarin's Comment.

H. NJ. McLarin, president of the
National Federation of Federal EN-
ployes, commenting on the veto by
the President. said:
I'VE were quite sure that the Presi
dent would veto this measure when
its rank injustice was brought to his
attention. Our confidence in him was
absolute. and we shall perform our
duties with renewed zeal. energy and
encouragement, proud of the fact that
we have a President who will recog-
ntze the rights of the people working
under him and defend them from such
vicious legislation as that proposed
by Representative Borland.
Opposition to the Borland amend
ment on the part of the government
employees is believed to have largely
induced the President to take this
STEP. 1t was thought by those in q
position to know that the President
would not sta1d for the amendment.
Probably no other piece of proposed
legislation in the history Of Wash
ington has aroused so much protest
as did the Borland amendment. The
thousands of government employees.
who are called upon for extra work
at the present time without added
pay, looked upon the amendment as
a gross injustice, in view of the fact
that they are giving much more to
the government in the form of service
than they receive compensation for
without additional pay. They con-
sidered the amendment entirely ur-
necessary.
