SHANGHAI, Oct. Is. (UP)-
The battle of Shanghai, which en-
tered a temporary lull after yes
terday's furious Chinese offensive,
has caused damage estimated by
foreign sources at approximately
a billion dollars.
This is approximately double the
damage of the 1882 siege, and in
addition so per cent of all trade
has been halted, and 90 per cent
of the city's industrial workers
have been thrown out Of employ
ment.
Additional horror was revealed
by city health authorities, who an
nounced that numerous Chinese
children were dying weekly in the
refugee camps due to malnutrition
resulting from shortage of milk.
japanese spokesman admitted
that japanese in the north were
encountering difficulties, and the
advance in Shansi has been halted
by stubborn Chinese resistance.
Japanese troops were reported
to be awaiting reinforcements and
supplies.

Chinese warriors continued a furi-
Gus counter-offehsive into bloody
Shanghai dawn today, after q
night of terror in which japanese
and Chinese fought along the
edge of the crowded international
Settlement. At least two Ameri-

An American sailor was wound

deck Of the flagship Augusta. A
U. S. marine was hit by a stray
bullet as the fire of rival lines
raked the border of the foreign
zone. Lives Of hundreds of add
tional Americans and other for
eigners were endangered.
1t was estimated more than 100
persons were killed in the settle
ment, and an unidentified number
wounded. As far as could be
learned, no foreigners were killed.
1t was impossible to obtain any
accurate estimate Of the wounded.
Many were carried home in carts
and rickshaws, and others crawled
into any place of shelter to escape
the hail of bullets.
Can Exchange Telegraph report
to London said five American ma
rines were hit by stray bullets. but
none hurt seriously.)
Dead and dying lay on the
streets within view Of the settle
ment.
More than Is bombs fell within
the settlement, and many foreign
houses, including three with Brit
ish flags and one with a Nazi flag
were struck by bombs.
The wounded American sailor
was J. P. McMichael. radioman
third class, who was struck in the
temple by a flying fragment Of
shrapnel as he stood between Rear
Admiral Harry Z. Yarnell and
Capt. R. F. Mcconnell, chief Of
staff, aboard the Augusta.
Yarnell Immediately sent
small boat through the cross-fire
of shrapnel and machine-gun over
the Whangpoo river, to lodge a
protest with Japanese naval au-
thorities. Rear Admiral R. Suki-
yama, chief of staff of the Japa-
nese command, Immediately ten
dered regrets personally.
Private Milton o. HIATT, of Crys-

Grafton Of wage and hour legisla-

O'Connor, who hopes for action
on the measure within the first

to be prepared on their return to
approve a rule under which the
measure can be considered on the

He argued that "practicaW rea-

that, if the bill is forced out of

would limit discussion.
A coalition of southern Demo-

DENVER. Oct. Il. (UP)-The
American Federation Of Labor
late yesterday accepted condition
ally the proposal of the rival Com
mittee for Industrial Organization
for a peace conference.
The conditions included that
the conference should be for the
purpose of reuui,iug the forces OF
labor under the banner of the
American Federation of Labor
Presumably, the federation will
insist upon dissolution of the ClO
if peace is made.
William Green, who was re-
elected as president, was answer
ed by loud roar Of aye" when
ne asked the 57th annual A + Of
l. convention 20 accept the pro-
posal submitted by the fedora
tons executive council for Il
peace conference on fair and
Just" terms.
The convention in effect offer
ed TO reverse its newly-adopted
fighting program and embarked
upon an effort TO heal and adj
Just the unfortunate breach caus-
ed in the ranks of organized la
bor."
Earlier in the day the delegates
had voted their officers vastly in
creased powers in order to allow
swift action in furnishing any fu-
ture secessions similar 20 that of
the John l.. Lewis group.

that calm reason around confer
ence table will prevail" Green
cried.
but if it does not, | will lead
the battle. | will be in front. We
will emerge united!
The stout, pink-cheeked preSi.
dent, starting his 18th year as
head of the A F of l., paused,
and the echo of his voice rang
through the silent hall. Then he
brandished his fist at the dele
gates and reared:

sis.
eve never were more ready.
more determined!
But if there is one who must
fall in the heat of battle, then let
il be me who goes down. But let
the ranks of labor remain intact"
Thus Green, in one breath, toss
ed TO the rival John l.. Lewis
movement an offer of peace but
called upon the federation to
fight as it never fought before if
that offer is refused.
IL was not 4S hours after Green
had vehemently denounced a

100 from each side, that he asked
