Gesnes, France, IS September, 1918
After TWO days Of intense physical and mental strain,
during which Major Miller had led his battalion in the front
line of the advance, thru the Forest of Argonne, the enemy
was met in a prepared position south Of Gesnes. Though
almost exhausted, he theoretically r~e.orgonzed his battalion
and ordered an attack. Upon reaching open ground, the
advancing line began to waver in the face Of machine. gun
fire from the front and TANKS and direct artillery fire. Per
sonaIy leading his command group forward between his front
line companies, MAJOR Miller inspired his men BY his personal
courage and they again pressed on toward the hostile post
ton. As the officer led the renewed attack he was shot IN
the right leg, but he nevertheless staggered forward at the
head Of his command. Soon afterward he was again shot
IN the right arm but he continued the charge, personally
cheering his troops on thru the heavy machine gun fire.

Vote Strike:

elimination Of Dispute
Over 8-Hour Day May
Tie Up Port and Para
lyze Railroad Terminals.

New York, Jan. s.-Fifteen thousand
marine workers of New York harbor
have voted to strike at 6 am. to-
morrow.
A sympathy strike of 1900 long
shoremen and 5000 freight handlers is
predicted IL the threatened strike lasts
over twenty-four hours.
An unanimous vote to strike was
cast at the headquarters OF the ma
rine workers affiliation late today. 1t
is predicted that the calling of the
strike will paralyze traffic in New
York harbor
Incoming and outgoing shipments
of grain, coal and other supplies here
will stop. This includes livestock and
perishable beef coming in here from
the West 1t will practically congest
and paralyze all the railroad termi-
mails in this port. Ocean liners will
be unable to leave or dock at the
port. The shipment of needed sup
plies overseas will halt.
The strike order exempted boats
owned by the government which carry
sick and wounded from transports 10
base hospitals. The order probably
will halt incoming transports with
thousands of men aboard
The vote to strike is the culmina-
ton of a dispute over the eight-hour
day between the marine workers and
boat owners, which the latter refused
to arbitrate. Ruling that it did not
have Jurisdiction. the National War
Labor Board left the matter to the
two disputants.
