ENTIRE SYSTEM IS TIED UP BY
 BIG WALK-0UT

BOSTON, July 17.-LP LP) This city and the surrounding district is con frontcd with a serious transportation problem owing to the strike of eight thousand employees of the Boston elevated railway system The walk out of these men ties up the entire street, subway and elevated railway service. not only in this city but in twelve adjacent towns.
 The strikers are demanding that they be granted an eight hour day at all times and be paid on a basis of sryenty-three and one-half cents per hour. The officials of the system say the present volume of business will not permit such high wage schedule to be paid
 The system extends far out into the suburbs of this city and is the main transportation route between a number of the small towns within the radius of a few miles, It is probable the company will attempt to run the cars in spite of the strike but it is not believed the effort will be met with much success.

Charging across an open area in front of the garrison, the Russians were met with rain of machine gun bullets of such intensity they were forced to break ranks and retreat to cover. They repeatedly tried to gain the stronghold by sudden rushes but every effort proved fruitless.
 After the Bolsheviki had been com pelled to abandon their idea of cap turing the garrison, the British made a search of the battlefield and found the bodies of 26 dead Russians.
