Villas Soldiers
Walked Barefoot
Over White Sands
Their Morale Destroyed by
American Attack; Many
of Them Fell From Sad
dies and Died in Desert

JUAREZ, June 24.-How American
troops scattered the Villa rebels,
caused them to walk barefooted over
the white sands of Northern Chihuahua
and destroyed their morale, was told
to General Francisco Gonzales at
military headquarters here late to-day
by Villas telegraph operator, who es-
capped at Villa Ahumada. This man is
a military prisoner here and his name
is withheld.
After the pursuit by Colonel Horn
brooks cavalry, horses were abandoned
IN the wastes, men dropped from their
saddles and died on the desert from
wounds or exhaustion, and wounded
officers and men suffered alike for lack
OF medical attention, he said.
The operator said he was impressed
by Villa at Coyame, Chihuahua, last
September. He was stationed with
Villas staff during the battle of Juarez
and told General Gonzales many details
OF the battle which had been unknown
here: He said Nicolas Fernandez, a
leading Villa General, was shot in the
arm on Sunday night, and went until
Monday. night without medical atten-
ton. 1ldefonso Sanchez, another Villa
general, was shot in the foot Martin
Lopez. commander of 500, was reduced
to 200 by the fighting in Juarez, and the
shrapnel shells of the American artil-
lery near the racetrack, the man de-
clared.
He said the Villa headquarters
reached Samalayuca, 80 miles south of
Juarez, at o'clock the Monday after
noon after the crossing of the Ameri-
can expedition, and that Colonel Horn
brooks men were at San Jose, short
distance north, when the pursuit was
abandoned. He said he saw General
Felipe Angeles supervising the tearing
up of railroad track at Samalayuca to
hamper pursit He said Villas own
bodyguard then had less than 1925
rounds of ammunition per man, while
many of the troops had none.

American Labor to
Win M-HOur Week.
Say Union Leaders
Saturday Half.Holiday Is
Favored by Efficiency Elk.
perts, Declares Wright in
Discussing New Effort

Labor leaders in New York yesterday
predicted an early victory in the figh,
for the universal forty-four-hour week
launched Monday at the closing session
of the Atlantic City convention of the
American Federation of Labor.
ut will be not long before the
shorter week is adopted in all trades
said Hugh Frayne, general organize
OF the Federation, with Offices at 141e
Broadway. "A few years ago the Fed
eratlon went on record in favor of the
eight-hour day, and now the eight-hour
day has been universally recognized
as the standard. The same will happen
in the case of the forty-four-hour
week."
Mr.. Frayne pointed out that many of
the trades, especially the higher skilled
crafts, already have the forty-four-
hour week.
"The machinists' unions in many
parts OF the country are now on strike
for the shorter week." he said. "Their
chief argument is based on the unem-
ployment situation. They say that each
man should work fewer hours in order
to leave work for all, and make it un-
necessary for any to be out of jobs.
Most Of the settlements for the
~oA ~ AOoA hOoA WCCh Wllls DellcVe,
provide for a Saturday half-holiday
rather than a shortening of the week
days. This will be a great step in ad-
vance. The worker will have an op-
portunity to take a more or less ex-
tended rest at the weekend. and he
will be able to work his hardest every
other day."
Chester NJ. Wright, of the American
Alliance for Labor and Democracy, also
predicted the early adoption of the
shorter week in all trades.
The action of the convention means
that all the unions who do not already
enjoy the forty-four- hour week will
take steps toward getting it," he said.
MANY of them already have it and
some work even shorter hours.
Action by the unions will not be
quite sufficient, however. We shall
have to convince a great many en-
ployers that the shorter hours are
more valuable than the longer. Eff
cheney experts already recognize this
fact. but employers are not always
scientific"
Among the unions which recently
won the forty-four- hour week is the
organization of ladies' garment work
ers, whose strike of two weeks ended
VIGOROUSLY on April 81.

All but Two Groups of
Workers Will Walk Out
in Sympathy With the
Teamsters and Truckmen
Anarchy Threat Is Made
Huge Packing Houses and
Stockyards To Be Includ-
ed; Employers Obdurate
Special CORRESPOND,

Special Correspondence
OMAHA, June PA general strike
IN this city tomorrow morning i'm
pends Sixty-nine local labor organiza-
tions have voted on the question of
Joining q walkout Wednesday in sup
port Of the executive committee of the
Central Labor Union, which declared d
on Sunday that the strike would go
into effect unless employers of team
sters and truck drivers concede the
demands of their employees before mid
night tonight. The employers have
refused to confer on the strikers de-
mands.
Settlement or anarchy" the presi-
dent of the Central Labor Union told
the City Council, would result from
the present situation.
Although the results of the ballot
ing by the locals on the question of
going out in sympathy with the team
sters and truck drivers has been kept
secret by the Central Labor Union, it
was indicated tonight that among
these workers who would strike in
motormen. plasterers, tailors, BARRIERS,
painters, builders, egg Gamblers, loco
motive firemen and packing house en-
ployes.
More than 80 per cent of the ten
thousand packing house employees in
South Omaha are members of the
union, and strike among them would
force the closing Of all big plants in
the city. There also are nearly a
thousand union men in the stockyards,
and a strike would tie up that insti-
tuition as we'll.
Business men of Omaha have joined
in a movement to bring about a set
tlement of the strike, even at the last
moment. They have formed strike
committee to handle the situation.
Mayor Smith to-day issued state
ment to the workers, in which he point
ed out that in the interest Of organ
lied labor the strike should not be
called. He said a sympathetic walkout
surely would make enemies for organ
lied labor all over the city and the
workers cause could not afford to lose
friends. He said a general strike of
laborers during the present hot weather
would mean suffering and sickness in
the city, and insisted that supplies Of
food and ice must be maintained.
Only two groups of workers have in
dicated they will not answer a call
for a general strike. They are the
newspaper employees and the remaining
telegraph operators who have survived
the present general strike of wiremen
called by the National Commercial
Telegraphers' Union.

ana Demoulln, representing the French
trade unlonlsts, are coming in the hope
OF converting the British to an interna-
tlonai strike as protest against the
Allied policy toward Russia. 1t is
highly unlikely the leaders will give
sympathetic reply, as the British
trade unionists already have accepted
Bonar Laws assurances that active
BRUSH participation in the Russian
military operations is about to end.
AN attack on Arthur Henderson is
considered probable, as he is too mod

radical element, which, however. is in
a minority.
The signing of the peace treaty will
be signal for the British Labor party
to begin campaign for its revision
along the lines of its war aims.

GOT OFFICERS IN TROUBLE
Japanese Military Attache Had Wrong
Idea of What BritIsher Intended
for Commentator.

A Japanese officer does not believe
in games or social entertainments.
He takes himself and his profession
very seriously, and cannot understand
how the British military men can actu-
ally indulge in such games as football
or cricket.
Some years ago two Japanese Off
GERS were sent to England to study
English, and to be attached to a Brit
ish regiment. Finding it was the thing
to play various games, the Japanese
entered into the spirit of the thing, and
became very keen.
Toward the end of their time, the
Japanese military attache In London
asked the commanding officer of the
unit to which the two officers were at
tached to report on them, as he report
ed ON his own officers. The command
ing officer complied and sent In what
he considered a glowing report-"keen,
Jealous officers" etc. - winding up
with the remark. Every fond Of games"
The military attache was aghast
his specially selected officers "rond of
games" and wasting their time, no
doubtl The officers were telephoned
for to London. had an unpleasant In
teryiew with their chief and were
within an ace Of being sent back to
Japan in disgrace.
Il occurred to them to suggest that
their commanding officer be asked for
a further report. When 1t appeared
that "fond of games" was usually put
to the credit side in assessing the char
acter of. an officer, there were few
men more astonished than the JAP
anese military attache.
