LABOR LAW IS
 DECLARED NOT
 GOOD BY COURT

WASHINGTON, D. C., June B. A decision rendered by the supreme court of the United States declares that the child labor law which was passed in 1916 is unconstitutional This law prohibited the shipment of material produced by child labor from one state to another.
 Since this law has been in effect those manufacturers who employed child labor were restricted from shipping any of their products from the state in which they were manu- factured. These employers have 'con- sistently fought the law since it's passage on the ground that it was not constitutional.
 By the rendering of this decision by the supreme court this child la bor law is now worthless. The law was approved by the President Sep tember 1, 1916 and went into effect one year after its passage. The law provided that no producer, manufac- turer or dealer could ship or deliver for shipment in interstate or foreign commerce any article or commodity that was product of a mine or qua1ly situated in the United States in which children under the age of sixteen had been employed within thirty days prior to the removal of the product. The law also applied to any article or commodity, the product of any mill, cannery, work shop or factory, situated in the United States, in which children un- der the age of fourteen have been employed or permitted to work with in thirty days prior to the shipment. In the latter application the law also stated that employment of chil- dren between the ages of fourteen and sixteen for more than hours each day or for more than days each week would cause the ship ment of the goods to be prohibited.
 This ruling of the supreme court now allows these shipments to be made and the employers will have only to conform with those child la bor laws that are placed in effect by each state.

APPROPRIATION
 FOR RAILROAD
 IN TWO WEEKS

SEATTLE, June 3.-Commissioner Edes of the Alaskan Engineering commission stated here today that he believes that work on the rail road in the north will be limited only by the number of men avail able. He also said that it is his Nenana coal into Fairbanks next winter.
 Commissioner Edes is enroute to Anchorage and expects to sail for the Alaska town within the next few days. In the interview with him he stated: 'I believe the work on the railroad which is being con- structed in Alaska will be limited only by the number of men that are available for employment hope, with the construction that is planned for this summer, to make it possible to haul Nenana coal into Fairbanks by next winter The peo- pie of Alaska should not be impa. tient regarding the delay in the ap- propriation for the railroad. The winning of the war against Ger many is now the big problem before congress, although I believe that the appropriation will be made within fortnight"
 When questioned regarding the in tention of the government toward the use of the Matanuska coal for the navy, Commissioner Edes said that the government contemplated mining this coal only for the use of the railroad and the trains. He stated that these plans were only for this year. It is entirely likely that this coal will be used by the navy at some later date, but for the present it is ,intended to take out only enough coal from the Mata nuska fields as will be used by the Engineering commission.

BRITISH HAVE
 RAIDED LINES

ROME, June 3.-OHicial--The roar of the heavy artillery is heard fire. quently in Valarsa from Zcenson to the sea. This action increases by spells, but has not been sustained for any considerable length of time South of the Asiago plateau, the British troops conducted success. full raid into the enemy trenches and returned with several prisoners. The enemy line was penetrated by the English troops for consider. able depth. This raid was conducted mainly for the purpose of obtaining prisoners, and after a brisk engage ment the troops returned to the British line.
 A heavy attack by the Austrians at Capo Silo was driven back by the defending troops. The enemy did not succeed in making any gains, as the defenders proved themselves to be the better troops in the vio- lent fighting which ensued. In a lively air engagement between the allied airmen and the Austrian avi- ators, one hostile airplane was downed.

MEN REPORTED
 LOST ACCOUNT
 0F TORPEDOINC

WASHINGTON, D. C., June g. It is now reported that $ officers and 23 enlisted men are missing from the torp2doed transport Presi- dent Lincoln. This snip was re- gently srrk by a German submarine while it was returning to an Am erican pot from France. The boat was formerly a German liner, but was converted into transport for the American troops upon the seizure of all German vessels by the United States.
 The report states that one Am. erican officer was captured by the submarine and taken aboard that boat. When the first report of the sinking of the transport was re- ceived it was stated that the casu. alties were very light. From the reports received today, these casu. alties are heavier than at first SUD- posed The ship was torpedoed by the submarine without warning It is thought that the officer who was captured was picked up by the crew of the submarine while he was swim ming in the sea, he having failed to get into a lifeboat.

PROCLAMATION
 ASKING IRISH
 TO VOLUNTEER

DUBLIN, June 3.--A proclamation has been issued by the lord lieuten- ant of Ireland asking for 50,OOO vol unteer Irish recruits to fill up the Irish divisions in the English army. The proclamation also requests that there be from 1000 to 5000 monthly volunteer recruits from Ireland in order that these divisions be main- tained.
 The lord lieutenant is calling on the patriotic Irishmen to uphold their allegiance to England. This volunteer recruiting may forestall conscription of her men for military purposes. This was proposed in the British parliament, but has never yet gone into effect. It is thought that there will be good response ant Many of the Irish who are loyal to England are much aroused over the recent disclosure of the uprising plotted between prominent Irishmen and alleged agents of the German government. This disclo- sure may have the effect of stimu- lating the recruiting among those Irish who wish to erase the stigma placed upon the country.

BIG GUNS BUSY
 ON LINE HELD
 BY AMERICANS

WITH THE AMERICANS, June 8 After several days of inactivity. the artillery of both the Americans and the Germans northwest of Foul has broken out into duel of awful intensity. The artillery of both the Americans and the enemy is turning loose everything it has.
 This duel has been raging for hours and shows no signs of cessa- ton on the part of either army. Every battery of the opposing forces is working overtime in an effort to batter down the defenses. There has been no great damage done to the American lines by the enemy's artilerying
 There has been absolutely no in fantry activity in this sector since the starting of the artillery duel, although it is thought that the Ger mans may attempt an attack on the American lines after several hours of pounding at the Yankee lines. In the event of an attack being made the Americans will be found fully prepared.

SHIPPING BEEN
 INCREASED BY
 LARGE AMOUNT

WASHINGTON, D. C., June l. American transatlantic shipping has been increased from one ship at the time America entered the war to a fleet of cargo carriers totaling 2, 100000 tons. This statement was made by Representative Caldwell in the house of representatives today The representative had prepared the statistics showing this increase, and made the statement in order that it might be put upon the house records.
 Representative Caldwell also as serted that after January 1 America will be able to produce at least 50O, GOO dead weight tons each month These figures are based on the rate the ships are being completed in the shipyards now and also on the contracts that have been let by the shipping board. It is thought that this is a conservative estimate of what is expected to be produced monthly after January 1. At the entrance of America into the war but one ship flew the American Flag in transatlantic trade, while now there are scores of the vessels plying the Atlantic ocean.

EXPECTS FIGHT
 WITH HUN NAVY
 ON HIGH SEAS

NEW YORK, June 3.-in an ad, dress delivered by Rear Admiral Cleaves, it was stated that the British naval heads had received d report few days ago that the Ger
 man fleet was preparing to come out
 and give battle to the allied navies
 on the high seas.
 Admiral Cleaves said that the Unit ed States has a large number of first class battleships which are mak- ing preparations with the best ships of the British navy for this ex. pected action. The American ships have been given the post of honor in these preparations for the attack. These reports which have been re-
 ceived by the British state that the German ships will come out of Kiel
 canal for the purpose of attacking
 the allied navies. There has as yet
 been no heavy action by the Ger
 man navy. In the event that this occurs, there is no doubt that the
 naval engagement will far surpass
 any similar action in previous his
 tory.
 The American ships are very
 anxious for chance to test their
 strength against the enemy. The
 American sailors have continually be-
 moaned the fact that no opportunity
 had been given them by the Ger
 man fleet to engage in action. There is no doubt of the outcome of the
 expected action between the fleets
 being expressed by either of the al lied naval forces.

TRENCH HAS NAME OF
 ITS VERY OWN

CAMP LEWIS. Wash. May 15.- That many of the familiar names of the Far West will be carried to the battle front in France when the Wild West Division goes across. is indicated by the designations applied to trenches and dugouts at Camp Lewis. A stroll through the divisional trench system denied to civilians for military reasOn--reveals scores of names known throughout the coun- try, but particularly to westerners.
 A modern trench system designed to afford protection to thousands of men from enemy fire is veritable labyrinth of deep ditches with many dugouts penetrating deep under ground. To wend your way to a designated point without losing val uable time is problem even when make travelling easier. the men have placed neatly painted signs bearing the name they prefer for their par ticular trenches and dugouts.
 Just why the fire trench of one regiment was called Pleasant Val ley" can only be conjectured. Powder River Boulevard" indicates where the Montana boys toiled to erect their defenSes. Salt Lake Drive" adorns another Ditch" which is just wide enough to permit of easy walking and deep enough to protect a six-footer from the spray of machine gun. Starved Rock Way" is the direction on still another trench. Dead Horse Canyon" may have come from any western state.
 When it comes to names for dug outs. variety appears to have no bounds. Principally, they bear the name of famous resorts, taverns or hostelries. Occasionally name is seen which has been in the limelight during a reform wave. One yawn. ing black hole is topped with the name of well known tavern on Powell street in San Francisco.
 Thus throughout the entire trench system one encounters names which mark the builders as coming from anywhere as far north as Montana and Washington on the north to Utah. Nevada or California in the south.
