nance of union membership by news

a directive of the Newspaper Com

Press and the American Newspaper
Guild.
The standard maintenance clause
was voted by Dr.. F. S. Deibler, public

member, dissented. The A. P, which
had opposed the union maintenance
provision for newsmen, announced
it would appeal.
A similar order was recently issued
in a case involving the Nationwide
guild contract with the United Press
Association.
The maintenance of membership
clause provides that New York A. P.
news employees who are members of
the guild in good standing on Au-
gust 20 will be required as a con-
dition Of employment to maintain
their good standing in the union
for the duration of the contract.

withdraw from membership. if they
SO desire, and nonmembers may re-
main nonmembers or may join or
reaffiliate.

lator scale from $46.50 to s48.5O.

ployed from January /. 1912. to

those earning less than $1,000 per
year are affected. Each employe
receives either the general or

Enthusiastically described it as one of
the closest and most efficient ground
support jobs of a tactical air force
IN this campaign. The well-aimed
rockets put the enemy tanks in
flames, and were held to be more
efficient and safer in the vicinity
OF ground troops than the bombs
OF dive bombers.
At the same time American fight
ers, strafed the column. The Ger
man tanks had proved immune to
75-millimeter shells from tank de-
stroyers. The shells bounched from
their sides at SO yards.
Seeing this, 1t. Harry Hanson of
Baltimore, leader of a tank platoon
left his tanks and. with an infantry
oazooka team Of two men, knocked
out two tanks. He then directed
the divisions artillery fire on the
column. This move was important
in repelling the attack of 10 tanks
on Frankland's battalion.
With their tanks smashed, the
German infantry fed to safety over
the hill under murderous small
arms fire from McDowell's battalion
which left the hillside streWn with
dead. The tanks apparently carried
great stores of small arms and
ammunition. After the rocket at
tack the burning monsters sounded
like a titanic Fourth of July cele-
bration. The danger was over by
midafternoon, with the slightly bent
American lines Strengthened again.
The attack today was an after
math of the vicious slash last night
presumed to be part of the same
general move against the American
lines. Another force broke through
some road blocks with a few tanks
