wired or dispatched concerning atiy
military operation:; France along '
the British .- etor.
this absolute censor di ip is stated
to bo necessary by i : of the
fact that i'.-.ig is planning a n \v
move agr.i. i tin Germans.
This is the first time in almost a;
year an absolute interdict lias be- r.1
placed upon war news from the
British set tor.
LONDON, Sept. 29.—An official

man airplanes- were destroyed in |
their attempted raid upon Mr I
southeast toast on Friday.
PARIS, Sept. 29.—Violent can

LONDON, Sept. 29.—Interest is ;
cent; red upon the army operations
of Field Marshal Haig and there is
great disappointment at the sudden1
declaration of absolute censor-'
ship.
Many papers highly object to this 1
order indicating that there is j.o
possible way whereby any such
news could be of service to the
enemy. However most of the jour
nals accept tHe position taken as a
mutter of course.
LONDON’, Sept. ,10.—Tie British
commander has established a com
plcte censorship of all war news for
all correspondents with Field Al:.r j
shal Haig.
Do not loo); for any news dis
patches from the British front Id
at least two days. This was done
once before by General Hsug when
he opened his great offensive a year
ago on the Sontmo.—-Worker Cor

LONDON, Sept. 30.—Very little
nows is coming out of Ireland. It
is however admitted that the situa
. tion is serious and that Sein Finn
Movement has again become criti
cal with disorders frequent and all
• over the country.
The Irish Convention at which
because of the British veto exer
cised over the delegates the Sein
Finn faction refused to allow any
representatives to attend, although
now admittedly the most formid
able force in Ireland, has simply
excited resentment in many centers,
not even excepting Cork where the
convention is sitting.
Many London journals, especially
the Tory Morning Post are advocat
ing that conscription he immediate
ly enforced against the Irish radi
cals as the quickest and best way
for a peaceful solution.
This however would be almost j
certain to stir things beyond re
medy.
AMERICAN'
FIELD
HEAD
QUARTERS, France, Sept. 29.—All
Information available here indicates |
that it will be a year before the [
food situation in Germany will j
prove a conclusive factor towards
peace. While the food situation
is serious, it is still reported to be
endurable and the army is still en
joying a relatively plentiful and
wholesome rationing.
The supply is getting less and
less and the situation more and
more acute.
CONFEREES AT LAST
MAKE THEIR REPORT
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept, 30.—
After a rag chewing match that
lasted two whole weejcs the con

million dollars. The chief changes
which have been agreed to are the
postal rates for newspapers, maga
zines, and excess war profits. These
clauses somewhat modify the Sen
ate Bill, the maximum and mini
mum war profit exemptions being

SEATTLE, Sept. 30.—Twelve
thousand men in sixteen ship yards
and employees in eighty two otter
steel works are on strike. The
other plants will all close today’.
SAN FRANCISCO, Stpt. 30.—The
shipyard strike lor the present has
bean called off. The men returned
to work today upon an agreement
just entered into of a temporary
nature. It is now believed that a
permanent agreement along these
lines will be efleeted.
CLEVELAND, Sept. 30.—Ten
thousand Great Lakes seamen will
strike on Monday.
The Lake owners refused to have
anything to do with any agreement
with the men and turned down
point blank the proposal put for
ward by government officials v;Hh
! a view of securing peace during
the war in this industry. The agree
ment was the same as that entered
into between companies and sailors
on the Atlantic, adapted :o Lake
conditions.
The companies challenged tho
right of anyone to interfere with
their operation and said that they
had men to spare and could easily
pick and choose.

SHORT AND UGLY
WASHINGTON, D. 0., Sept. 28.—
(Delayed in transmission) Repre
sentative Hefiin and Patrick Daniel
Norton of North Dakota had a
lively mill on the floor of the House
today.
It was a fist fight and rough and
tumble today and was the after
math of the debate between the
two on the Bernstorff slush fund.
Norton in replying to the Heflin
charges, declared that Heflin was
lying when lie made them and that,
he knew it.
So they ‘mixed it on the House
floor during the controversy and
continued their hand to hand com
bat until the> were torcibly sepa
rated by members intervening.
I W W MEMBERS ARE
INDICTED BY WHOLESALE
CHICAGO, Sept. 30.—Wholesale
indictments have been returned
against the Industrial Workers of
the World here.
They face ten thousand separate
charges in this onslaught by the
federal agents who charge then of
being guilty of a criminal campaign
of sedition.
Indictments have been returned
against 2 36 persons and of these
the federal officials have taken 36
into custody.
Apparently the. claim that they
weie receiving German money has
not been substantiated by an ex
amination of the papers and the
chief charge against them is “inter
ference with the manufacture of
munitions”.
The officials are now searching
for the balance of the indicted men.

WASHINGTON, 1). C., Sept. ;10.—
A communication from Governor
Brcnquist of Minnesota, the ro

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 30.—
Representative Fitzgerald yesterday
introduced a resolution providing
for a single congressional comn'it
I te? to handle and direct the expen
; ditures of all war monies appro
I priated.
The resolution will excite some
opposition. Last month an effort
was made to secure such a com
mittee, it being argued that Great
Britain had found it ne< cssary to
ami from the Slate Public Safety
Commission requesting the expul
of Senator Lafollette from the Son
ata wat laid before the Senate by
Kellogg oi Minnesota.
Vice President Marshal promptly
directed that it bo referred to the
Privilege and Election Committee.
The communication, a most extra
ordinary document, charges the
Senator from Wisconsin with sedi
tion and treason.
Lafolletto’s demand for conscrip
tion of wealth have made him very
obnoxious to powerful interests.

prevent, grave charges of extravag
ance being made, to establish it,
but the senators, in which bouse it
originated turned it down as against
the wishes of the administration.
Inasmuch as Chairman Fitzgerald
now introduces the resolution, it
may be taken for granted that ad
ministration opposition is gone and
that it will he adopted.
