COPENHAGEN, Sept. 17.—Gen
eral Alexieff the Chief of Staff of
the Russian repuolican army sui
cided by shooting himself says a
Petrograd dispatch just received.
Alexieff had an interview with
Premier Kerensky after which 1 lie
Russian leader killed himself.
It was to Alexieff that Karirilcff
surrendered and it is supposed that
strong differences arose between
the genera! and the Premier as to
the disposition of the revolting gen
eral.
, LONDON, Sept. 17.—The report
that General Alexieff suicided is
believed to be a cable error and
j that Kerenof is the man who shot
himself.
PETROGRAD, Sept. 17.—'The dis
agneement growing between tiu
socialists and the national demo
crats over the alleged inclination
of the latter to support what were
the Iiarniloff demands is temporari
ly adjusted through the tact of the
Workers and Soldiers Council.
LONDON', Sept. 17.— All the
alarm and excitement of the revo
lution of Karniloff against the Ker
ensky government did not deter the
Russian prime minister from mar
rying a Russian actress to whom he
had been engaged for some time.
They were married on Friday last
when the excitement was at its
height.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 17.—
It is announced that Congress will
most certainly adjourn within the
next three weeks.
It is expected that within that
time President Wilson will submit
names fer various federal posi
tions in the several departments
now or about to become vacant. It
was believed up to this that recess
appointments would be made but
with the return of the President
this report is changed. The main
legislative issues for action are es
sentially fiscal. There is the eleven
billion five hundred and thirty eight
million bond bill. The bond bill is
becoming less popular as public
opinion veers to heavy present time
taxation; the two billion five hund
red million revenue bill which the
progressives want to increase to
over three billion by the
imposition of higher income tax
and taxes upon excess profits; there
is the seven billion urgency deficiency
bill and in addition to these finan
cial measures there are the trad
ing with the enemy act, the Webb
export bill, legalizing trusts or
combinations for foreign trade, the
soldiers and sailors insurance bill
and the Chamberlain alien draft
resolutions.
It will be impossible to inject
any emergency legislation into this
menu if Congress is to adjourn
upon schedule.
Some workmen’s draft legisla
is hinted at, but tho present Con
gress is not likely to tackle it.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 17.—
Samuel Gompers and President Wil

the labor troubles which are now
taking place on tHe Pacific Coast.
The conference today considered at
length the strike of the iron trades

the matter.
WASHINGTON. I). C., Sept. 17.—
The National Council of Defense is
considering tlie labor situation.
Many employers are using the
present strike as a pr&ext to urge
the conscription of men. They point
out the interruption of the copper
production, the troubles in the
lumber industry and the various
other industries connected with the
government in its prosecution ol
the war directly or indirectly.
The labjrites claim that this is
merely a subterfuge to destroy
unionism altogether and will lead
to trouble quite unexpected. They
claim that if steps are taken to pro
vide proper ’wages to meet the in
creased costs ot^ the necessaries of
life there will be iio labor troubles
although they also intimate in ibis
way the excess profit returns re
ported may not be so gigantic.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17.—
What is supposed to be the begin
ning of a general strike in the
Golden Gate began today when
28,000 iron tiades workers went
on strike including in their de
mands for higher wages in all ship
building plant.3, machine shops,
foundries etc.
This strike is halting work on
one hundred and fifty million dollar
worth of ship building contracts
for the government and it is be
lieved that the administration will
take prompt action. I
In addition these strikers include
many -crafts which walked out In
their entire membership. One
hundred and twenty unions are in
volved in this great strike.
SAX FRANCISCO, Sept. 17..—The
street car situation is still tne same
The United Railways are fighting
the men with gunmen, tank cars
and strike breakers. Today there;
were no less than fourteen riot calls j
sent in and nine cars were wreck- <i j
by the strikers or their sympathis
ers. Three persons were injured
seriously in these disturbances.
The company and the police
biame the striking iron trades for
the severity of today’s attack and
it is claimed that the iron workers
walk out is due more to sympathy
with the carmen than because of
I heir own grievances. The situa
tion is very tense and serious troub
les are said to be looked for.
You'll get it right in the Worker.
PARIS, Sept. IX.—Says the even
ing communique: After a lull of
several months on the Woeuvre
plain the Germans today suddenly
launched a cannonade of the utmost
violence upon the French positions.
This was followed by a powerful
infantry assault, the Germans
plunging enormous masses of men
into the French positions which they
penetrated.
The , desperate hand to hand
fighting left the Germans no time
to consolidate their gains when
the French drove forward a coun
ter attack. The most severe hand
to hand slaughter in ten months
then began, the trenches literally
dripping with blood and crowded
with dead and wounded.
This hand to hand combat took
p’.: ee without cessation for almost
an hour when lie by bit the Frenc h
forces began to exert too much
pressure, finally driving the Gre
nians from their gains ah eg the
entire front. The r puls< of the
Germans revealed the *\tent of the
slaughter the trenches being
choked with dead and wounded
along several miles of front. The
acme of intensity was reached in
the Aprement forest where the
Germans had hoped to cut the
French lines. This is the first ac
tive fighting for some time south
of St. Mihiel.
The French repulse of the Ger
man thrust is declared to he com
plete and crushing.

SWEDEN IS BETWEEN
DEVIL AND DEEP SEA
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 17.—
Diplomatic experts! point out the
fact that Sweden's position is second
only in difficulty to that of Holland
and that ‘he country is in a very
serious condition owing to the in
sufficient food stuffs on hand.
Only recently socialist demonstra
tions took place demanding an ab
solute embargo on all exportations
to any country especially in food.
This has been impossible and the
highly profitable trade with Ger
many has been carried on.
The government is so constituted
that hostilities are out of the ques
tion the masses being immoveably
opposed* to war at any price. It is
believed that had the royalists con
sulted their own sympathies and
affiliations they would long ago
have joined their fortune to that
of the Central Powers. In this
however they are curbed by the
pro-Ally and anti-war inclinations
of Denmark and Norway with which
countries, Sweden is in open alli
ance to preserve all Scandinavian
neutrality,
Norwegian and Danish papers are
hitter in their criticism of Sweden's
i ill advised action in Argentina and
| America. While the hardly con
j cealed enmity to England is not ob
i jected to very strongly, the policy
I of flouting America is regarded as
not only unwise but ungrateful.
PARIS, Sept. 17.—Inquiries have

men have been greatly r< inforced
in men and machines and their
unite noticeable inferiority in this
respect has been of late practically
overcome by this reinforcement.
