From the elaborate artillery prepar-
alton, the size Of the box barrage, and
the extensive front occupied, the coup
re main attempted by the enc~''' w"s
clearly intenden to be on a rather ex-
tensive scale.
Whatever may have been the object
of the attack 1t was successfully frus-
trated. No enemy party succeeded in
getting within ASSEMBLING distance or
any part of the line except at one
point and here they were quickly
pressed back and then driven off. The
shell-torn condition of the ground tells
OF the f1erceness of the action That
the enemy suffered considerably In
casualties is not doubted, as some of
their groups pushed close into the
machine-gun fire, but as their men fell
on our side were small and none OF
them serious.
The chief Importance of the action
was in bringing this American unit
for the first time under fire and dem
onstrating the steadiness and fighting
ability of the men.

No representative OF the Richmond
Commercial Club or no committee del

that company to maintain a certain
prevailing wage or tried to influence
their wage scale in any way.
At no membership meeting, direc-

discussion that might be construed
as unfair to labor. No agreement Of
any kind pertaining to the scale of

1t is folly to imagine that an organi-
cation which is working for the well

is civic-commercial organization

MINE LEADERS
WILL CONFER ON
WAGE INCREASE
Present Labor Condition Will
Undermine Coal Production
Hayes Says.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Aug. liza
Dor conditions in the coal mining In
dustry. for which the only logical
solution is substantial fiat wage in
crease to be applied to all classified
tons of mine labor will be discussed
at conference in Washington. August
22, according to an announcem
made here Friday night by Frank NJ.
Hayes, President OF the United Mine
Workers Of America
In announcing the conference, Pres.
ident Hayes said 1t had been called to
avert. IL possible, a rapidly develop
ing labor condition within the coal
industry, which, il permitted to go I'M
checked. would undermine coal produc-
ton plants
The wage increase can be met and
applied by the coal operators without
the necessity of an increase in the
selling price of coal to the consuming
public. asserted the miners official,
who added that the paying of bonuses
by many mine owners now "is in
disputable evidence that the industry
Is able to bear an advance in wages.
been caused, President Hayes said, by
many mine owners paying bonuses in
excess of the wage scale in order to
obtain and keep miners in their mines.
Mr. Hayes's statement continues:
The practice has become so wide
spread that the stability of the entire
industry Is threatened and the coal
operators themselves are becoming
81, l. IL
The Fuel Administration is con-
Quoting investigations to find out the
reasons for the condition and the
identity of the operators who are bid
ding for labor by the payment of
bonsuses. Various of the operators
associations have petitioned the Fuel
Administrator to save them from the
disastrous results of the bonus system.
IF bonsuses are eliminated from the
pay envelopes of the miners now re-
ceiving them. the industry will lose
thousands so necessary to maintaining
production, to say nothing of the ia
tons demad for a greatly increased
output.
IF wages are not increased to those
not now receiving bonsuses to the
equivalentof the bonsuses now being
received by other miners. then the
industry faces a sure and certain loss
of needed man power.
For the protection of our entire
war program to keep the wheels Of
basic industry going full blast, it is
necessary that a wage adjustment be
made on a basis that will put an end
to the wholesale competition for men
and hold the miner to the mines
where he would like to remain il but
given the equivalent wage possible
for him to receive in other INDUSTRIES
