Fort Worth, Texas, May Slight
American gunners were killed and
seven injured more or less seriously
near Benbrook, a. few miles west OF
Fort Worth, when three inch shell
exploded at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
One gun crew, comprised of members
of the Headquarters company of the
141st infantry, was entirely wiped out
and second crew from headquarters
company of the 142nd infantry suf-
fered heavy casualties. H..
Six of the men were killed instant
ly and two died within a short time
after the explosion. First reports that
two trench mortars had exploded were
erroneous. i
ii! Shell Forced Into Gun. mp
An attempt on the part Of the gum
ner to force the shell, which appar-
emily did not fit, down a trench mortar
is believed to have been responsible
for the accident Sergeant Norman
Bow, a canadian, who is an assistant
instructor for the Stokes trench NOR
tar, said tonight he saw soldier at
tempting to force the shell and that
he attempted to warn the gunner. The
explosion came too quickly, however,
Bow was slightly wounded by a fFag-
lnent Of the shell. @.3 1't
THE wounded, except Sergeant Nor
man Bow, OF the British army, were
all from Texas; as were all the dead.
General q. st. John Greble, conf,
mauding officer at Camp Bowie was
standing less thar, ten yards from the
scene of the explosion with his two
aides. Captain Houghton and iLeuten3
ant Russell. They were unfn5lred.
Lieutenant Colonel Metcalf, division
surgeon, and an enlisted man, also
stood near by. The enlisted man was
instantly killed but Metcalf' was I'M
injured The bodies of some OF the
victims were literally blown 70 pieces.

Workers.

The National War Labor Board an
nounced a final decision in the
Bridgeport machinists cases yester-
day. Over 10000 men are involved,
working in sixty-six munitions plants
there.
The decision comes from Otto NJ.

an umpire IN the case. When tue
President appointed the board he pro-
vided that should II be unable to
reach q unanimous verdict In any
case the matter should be referred
to an umpire. This Is the first case
In the history of the board that It
has been necessary to call in en-
umpire.
Labor. in submitting the case TO
the boards decision, had agreed to
await its action. but the length of
time involved in the boards inabil-
ity to agree. and the further consid-
GRAFTON by the umpire, brought a
serious crisis last week. and the en-
tire 10000 employees threatened an i'm

The issue over which the fight was
most bitter was that of classification
of employees. The men demanded that
they be classed as toolmakers, machin-
lists, specialists and machinists' help
ers. The employers contended that
there was such a specialized number
