MORE POWER TO WILSON

Washington, July 7.-An admin istration bill designed to confer on the president complete powers to con- trol shipping for war purposes was passed after slight amendment yester- day by the Senate. It now goes to con ference, having passed the House. The president may delegate the powers, which are now in part indirectly ex- ercised by the War Trade and Ship ping Boards, to any agency. He is empowered to regulate ocean freight rates, requisition vessels, determine priority of shipments of goods, con- trol charters, drydocks, loading facili- ties and warehouses.

ROUNDING UP SLACkERS

Mobile, Ala, July 7.-Over 1000 draft registrants who were engaged in nonessential occupations or were un- able to produce their registration cards, were arrested here last night by detachment of 200 military po- lice from Camp Sheridan, Montgom- cry, aided by a squadron of soldiers from Fort Morgan, as part of a dras- tic step to round up slackers and reg isrtants engaged in nonproductive in- dustries.

OFFICERS BATTLE
 BAND ORGANIZED
 ID RESIST DRAFT
Three Reported Killed in Clash in Cleburne COunty-Member of Sheriff's Party is Killed Man Hunt is on.

Heber Springs, July 7.-One man is known to be dead and two others are believed to have been killed in two battles between sheriffs' posses and gang of alleged draft resisters and their sympathizers eight miles west of here today. Tonight more than 100 armed men are securing the hill coun- try in the neighborhood of Heber Springs, Pearson and Quitman in an effort to round up the resisters. Three of the alleged resisters are in jail here.
 The first gun fight occurred at dawn at the farmhouse of Thomas Atkinson, eight miles west of here and three miles south of Pearson Porter Hazelwood, aged 26, of Heber Springs, driver of the automobile ocA cupied by the officers, was shot twise in the groin and died this afternoon The posse was outnumbered three to one in this fight and was forced to return for aid. Shortly after noon a heavily armed party of officers and citizens, numbering about 25, had been recruited and returned to the Atkinson house.
 By this time the resisters had re, inforced their number. Many took positions in trees, others entrenched themselves in ditch and some hid in thickets surrounding the house. Thomas Atkinson, who is 55 years old and his 18-year-old son took a posi- tion behind board fance, firing at members of the posse through an opening made by pulling off board. Each was seen to throw up his gun and to fall upon the ground, following a volley from the sheriff's men. The two were not seen to rise and Sheriff K. w. Duke of Heber Springs last night said that he is sure they were killed.
 Persistent rumors that draft resist CTS were being harbored by Thomas Atkinson at his house led Sheriff Duke, with four men, to start out early this morning to arrest the men, With the sheriff were Constable Phil Rice, City Marshal s. J. Clark, Dr. s. A. Tunnah and Porter Hazelwood, all of Heber Springs. The party reached the house at dawn and surrounded it. Sheriff Duke called out to the occu pants to surrender. Several men sprang from the house and began fir ing. Hazelwood dropped at the first volley and the remainder of the posse were forced to withdraw because of the high-powered rifles in the hands of the resisters.
 The officers were unable to reach | Hazelwood in the face of the rifle

fire. Near noon several persons liv
 ing in the neighborhood carried the badly wounded youth to a farmhouse and summoned a doctor. He was mortally wounded, however, and died later in the afternoon. Hazelwood was 26 years old mad was to have reported for military service within few days.

OPERATORS WILL
 R0T STRIKE TODAY
KOnenkamp Calls it Off at Re quest of Secretary Wilson, Gompers Wires Head of Union Urging No WalkOut.

Washington, July IT, Indefinite postponement of the strike of tele- graphers employed by the Western Union Telegraph Company called to begin tomorrow was announced to- night by Secretary of Labor Wilson, after he had conferred over the long distance telephone with S. J. Konen- kamp, president of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union.
 Secretary Wilson said that Mir. Konenkamp, who is in Chicago, had given him every assurance that the strike order would not be put into effect tomorrow, and that any walk out would be postponed indefinitely. It was understood that the union president agreed to this course be- cause Congress now is considering a resolution authorizing the president to take over and operate during the war all telegraph, telephone, cable and radio systems.
 In final effort to avert the strike, Mr. Wilson sent Mir. Konenkamp a telegram today urging delay and later called in Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor,  who also sent telegram to the union president, urging a postponement of the strike. Later MT. Wilson got into communication with Mir. Konenkamp on the telephone.
 MT. Gompers' telegram follows:
 This afternoon Secretary Wilson of the Department of Labor invited me to confer with him in regard to the threatened telegraphic situation and he showed me the telegram he sent you.
 q am in entire accord with the views he expresses. A strike of the telegraphers at this time, and while there is fair chance for an early, fair and honorable adjustment, would be most unfortunate, and generally held to be unjustifable and perhaps defeat it's very objects. You, as well as the telegraphers, know how thoroughly I am in accord with you and them in the proved and admitted wrongs the telegraphers have en- dured, and my earnest desire to have the wrongs rectified and to avoid any hlndrance to our governments war program, even in the slightest, is my warrant to urge you to at once exer- else your every power to postpone the

LOCAL FIGHTING
 OA FRENCH FRONT
No Engagements Of Importance Bearing on General Situation Vienna Admits Withdrawal Across Piave River.

While there have been local encoun- ters of more or less importance along the battle line in France, there has been little activity of significance in its bearing on the general tense situ- ation from the North Sea to Swift zerland.
 On the British front east of Amiens Australian attachments, with which American troops are brigaded have pushed further east from the little viii lage of Hamel, south of the Somme river. The Australians carried their line forward over a front of almoss four miles at that point last Thurs day. In their last assault they have surged ahead of the center of the new front, which they created last week. The operation was successful in that the objectives were reached and the positions taken are being held by the men from the Antipodes.
 Further north, along the southern side of the Lys salient, there has been quite heavy artillery fighting, espec- tally in the Hinges sector. During the fighting in April, when the Germans had pushed ahead in the Elan ders area, the battle north and east of Hinges was one of the most des- perate character, the village of Locon being the scene of repeated combats in which German attacks were crushed by the British defense.
 In the French sectors in the Disc, Soissons and Rheims sectors only pa- trol encounters have been reported. The Americans and French have been quite active near Chateau Thierry, where the French have made some advance in the neighborhood of Hill 204, on the north side of which the Americans attacked and captured the village of Vaux last week. The French report some measure of sue cess in this fighting, while the Ger mans claim that the French and Amer ican assaults were repulsed with heavy losses.
 Austrian troops have been pushed back across the Piave river along the lower reaches of that stream Since the collapse of the Austrian drive, the Italians have been steadily forging ahead in this region and it now is ad- mitted by Vienna that all the Aus trian positions to the west of the river have been abandoned. This re- stores to the Italians the west bank of the Piave from northwest of the Montello plateau to the sea and writes the final chapter in the story of the Austrian drive in that sector of the Italian front
