Russian Butcher Is Forced

Dispatches.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Complete
collapse Of the Kolchak movement
in Serbia is forecast in reports reach
ing Washington. The Kolchak forces
have fallen back 200 miles from
their former advanced lines and
Omsk was said to be threatened with
evacuation.
Failure of the allied and associat-
ed governments to get adequate sup
plies to Admiral Kolchak, the advices
said, had forced him to fall back
steadily before the greatly superior
bolsheviki forces composed of yeter-
ans. whose officers include many
Germans who fled to Russia when
the arnlistice was signed.
Officials here are known to regard
Golchaks efforts at an end unless

MUCH ACTIVITY

Attempt Is Seen to Hasten

More Light on Paris Pro

Washington, Aug. I'm LID
reseryationists' in senate are dis
playing new activity in an attempt
to hasten ratification of the peace
treaty in line with Wilson'S warn
ing, that living conditions will not
90 down to stay until there is real
peace.
A conference has been arranged
between the senators favOrng mild
reservations and Senator Lodge,
leader of the group which arc de-
manding strong reservations. The
conference will meet in the hope of
bringing affairs to a stage where they
can convince the democrats in the
senate who are voicing resentment
at what they term 'scantiness" OF
information which Wilson sent to
the capitol in response to resolutions
asking for stenographic records ol
the peace conference and other dOcu.
ments, to throw more light on the
Paris proceedings.
They are known to be considering
the issuing of a statement to the
| country, in which they will asser
| that while Wilson is urging . speedy

laying progress by withholding in

Reports frob both Great Falls and
Anaconda are to the effect that all
craftsmen obeyed the strike callsand
that the mills and slnelters in thDss
cities are idle.
The Metal Mine Workers unit of
The One Big Union, which presented
demands July 1, is also on strike for
their demands. Company papers
have in the past asserted that the
unions have presented no demands,
and company agents for the past few
days have been active i'll trying to
stir up the resentment Of the unions
against the Metal Trades crafts on
account of their alleged desertion Of
the miners in 1917, but their efforts
have fallen flat, as the miners re-
alize that the position Of the crafts
men in 1917 was forced upon them
by their internationals, and the MEM
bers of the Metal Mine Workers unit
Of the One Big Union by nightfall
will be out to man, not only to
press their own demands, but also
because Of clauses 81 and SO of the
constitution, which in substance re-
quire that members shall not remain
on the Job when other unions are on
strike.
In this connection, the statement
in an out-of-toWn morning sheet that
IAN evening paper which represents
the radical labor elements of this
city, requests that all members OF
the Metal Mine Workers unit of the
One Big Union come off the job to-
day with the metal trades crafts, has
about as much truth to it as is al
ways the case with news concerning
labor in the columns of the company
press.
The Bulletin gladly pleads guilty
to being an afternoon paper which
represents the radical" labor ele-
ment, but this paper has no author
ity to call strikes on or off, nor does
it seek, like some out-of-toWn fax
irs, to impose its will upon the rank
and file of any union. 1t is the func-
! tion of this newspaper, after the men
themselves have decided upon a line
of action, to support them i'll secur-

holds true regardless of what union
or unions are involved.

With the campaign to rednce the
