Washington, April 2l.--The senate
settled down today to a finish fight
on the bill proposing blanket author
ity for the president to reorganize gov
ernment agencies in prosecuting the
war,
mo compromise" was the word
sent by President Wilson in a letter to
Senator Overman Of North Carolina,
sponsor of the measure. Debate was
resumed by supporters of the admin
istration while opponents demmand-
ing specific exemption of the interstate
commerce commission and certain
other permanent bureaus from
changes prepared for further efforts
to force amendments.
In his letter to Senator Overman,
the president said:
IL thank you with all my heart
for standing by the bill which
bears your name, without any
compromise of any kind
Senator Overman afterward de-
elared he would oppose any amend
ment of the pending measure and felt
confident of its passage with votes
the vote on eNempting the interstate
commerce commission and possibly
other bureaus from its scope would be
very close. A canvass of the senate
is in progress.

In todays debate Senator's Fletcher
of Florida, chairman of the commerce
committee and Shields of Tennessee,
h,r . s,,l, l,n,,,
which reported the bill, urged pass
age of the measure as a means of
centralizing authority and speeding up
war operations. They declared the
president is responsible for the con-
duct of the war and should be given
necessary authority he asks.
Senator Sherman of Illinois. repub-
lican, critizing the bill, insisted that
what is needed more than additional,
powers is "the proper exercise of
powers already in existence" and se-
lection of competent men to exercise
such authority
Senator Fletcher admitted that
there had been mistakes and delays
in war preparations but asserted that
they were comparatively negligible
and the whole record praiseworthy
Both he and Senator Shields dismissed
as unworthy of discussion the. conten-
ton that the president might abuse
the broad powers given him under the
bill The latter said the present ex-
ecutive has earned confidence and
that any other must be trusted.
Because President Lincoln is said to
have exceeded his authority to meet
an emergency, Senator Shields said
was no reason why ample authority
should not be given the executive now.

Events along the battle line in
France and Belgium seem to be shap-
lng themselves tor RESUMPTION of
the great German offensive. Since
me savage attack on the American
forces at Seicheprev on Saturday
there has been no fighting of an ex-
lraordtnarY nature aiong the front,
nut there have been indlcations that
the Teutons are almost ready to re-
sumo the sledgc hammer blows they
haN" been aiming at the allied armies.
Unless recent operations have been
feints, it is probable that the coming
week viii witness two great turning
movements by the Germans. One
probably will pivot on the village of
RohecQ, northwest of Bethune, on the
southern side of the salient driven
into the allied lines back of Armen-
there's. The other is expected to de-
velop at or near Mesnl, north OF Al.
bert on the north side Of the Somme
salient.
TO Cut Into Allied Lines.
The purpose of these movements
will be to cut deep into the allied
lines on each side of the promontory
that projects out into German held
territory and terminates on the old
Arras-Lens front. The Germans have
attempted two great frontal attacks
on the defenses of Lens and Arras but
they have been repulsed with terrible
losses to the attackers, These losses
were inflicted upon the enemy before
he reached the stronger allied post
tions in that sector and since the
second defeat at Festubert and Given
chy, the Germans have not cared to
take up the task of driving the Ca
nadians from their positions along !
Nimy ridge and on each end of that
great natural bulwark before Arras.
If successful attacks were to be |
launched by the Germans at Robecq |
and Mesnil, the British might be
forced to withdraw from Arras with |
out having a chance to defend their /
positions there. Heavy artillery fire |

Sunday, April 21.-When an entire

At that hour the enemy infantry
dashed forward, preceded by storm
troops which had been brought to the
scene especially for the attack after
preliminary training on ground simi
lar to the sector held by the Ameri-
can troops.
The assault was over line 2,000

occupied Seicheprey where the Amer

 At the Ellamar Mine the men did not demand any advance in wages, but demanded of the management that they discharge the foreman within twenty-four hours or they would walk out, the demand was signed by 2S of the one hundred men employed at the mine. The manager that evening and before the expiration of the "A hours posted a notice that the mine would be closed until July ', this was June 25th, for repairs to the ma chinery. The 2S men that signed the request drew the money coming to them and left the camp the eve ming of the 25th.

 The eight-hour law as amended covering all underground mining was generally observed throuhgout the Territory. The ten-hour scale of wages, $500 per day and board for eight hours work was maintain ed in the underground placer mines.
 A general eight-hour law, appli- cable to all wage and salary earn CTS in the Territory, was passed by the Alaska Legislature, Session 1917, in response to a referendum general election of 1916, the refer endum having been adopted by ar overwhelming majority. The law became effective Jan. 1st. 1918 This law will not effect the mining industry to any great extent, as the quartz mines and underground placer mines are already operated under an eight-hour law; it will, however, effect the surface placers and dreGges to a certain extent, but the number of men employed in those is small as compared with the other mining operations.
 The latter part of the article rcpublished in your paper coincides with my view of the situation ex- actly, to-wit:
 It is easier to believe that a shortage of labor will result if the law is not enforced, for comparatively few of our miners will continue to work ten hours, eieht-hour jobs anywhere in the States. To keep them in the country if will be necessary to improve working conditions by making the hours of labor more attractive and the payment of wages more certain.
 That was what caused the short age of men in the Fairbanks dis tict, the uncertainty of getting their wages, gained from past experiences
