BRITISH VESSEL
 BEATS U-BOA7
Big Freighter Puts to Flight German Submarine After
 Gun Duel,

New York, July 15- A big and swift British freight steamship that arrived at an Atlantic port yesterday had a duel with a German submarine that emerged from tranquil sea about two miles astern on July and began shelling. The steamship re- piled with a stern gun whose range was quite equal to that of the six sinch piece of the U-boat. Several shots were exchanged, some of the shells of the freighter seemingly dropping very close to the U-boat, which, under full steam, began draw ing away from her pursuer.
 The scene of the attack was about 300 miles southeast of Cape Race, close to the spot where the Norwegian bark Manx King was held up also on July 5 by a U-boat. The British freighter had received wireless warn ing of the probable activity of sub marines in this zone and was on the alert when the after lookouts sighted the periscope of the skulker.
 THe Briton was quite content with the result of the fight. She promptly sent out warnings to other vessels that might be in the danger zone. Official wireless bulletins issued on 1 Monday last cautioned navigators of the appearance of U-boats in the transatlantic lanes between the 35th and 41st parallels, about 1,64O miles east of Sandy Hook. It was in this zone that the Norwegian steamship
 Augaid, bound from French port tc Baltimore, was sunk by a submarine on June 23

TO SET MINIMUM WACEFOR WOMEN
 BY LEGISLATION

Washington, July 15-Federa1 leg islation toward establishing a method by which minimum wage for women workers may be fixed, is now receiv- ing the attention of Congress. The bill, drawn by Representative Keat- ing of Colorado, applies only to women employed in industries of the District of Columbia, but is designed as a model from which state legisla- lures may draw similar legislation.
 The bill would create a permanent wage board, which would name sub- ordinate boards for each occupation or industry in which women are em- ployed. Such boards would consist of representatives of employers, em- ployes and the public.
 Testimony before the House com mittee which considered the measure showed in the first industry regulated under a minimum wage commission of Massachusetts it was found there was an increase in the actual earnings of women as the result of the work of the boards. It was also found, the committee reports, that the number of women employed at wages higher th=% tse prescribed mipiuoul0 he'd doubled,
 Mrs. Newtown D. Baker, wife of-c-e secretary of war, has interested her self in the proposed legislation, and was one of several who testified be- fore the committee Apparently she was no less interested in the bill than was the president of the telephone operators union of Massachusetts and a girl who told how she lived ir Washington on salary of $7 week Representatives of employers and employees have testified in support o1 the measure.
