of the house conferees without
much opposition from the Senators
at the conference. I
It is announced that the bill will
be reported as agreed upon to the
Senate tomorrow and to the House j
on Friday next.
New York financial writers in the ;
’lalit s are committing themselves I
to long articles considering at
length the probable effect ol' the'
floating of these bonds on the
money market. The views as usu
ally are the views of these experts
are very indefinite and uncertain.
Strictly non-committal is the atti
tude of all of them.

(leal of concern especially along the
water front in New York and in
San Francisco.
Reports indicate the grave poss
ibility of a general strike in San
Francisco and although conferences
were being held this evening at
both places the result so far has
not been satisfactory although by
no means hopeless.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1!).—it is now
certain that the trouble between
the longshoremen and the stevedor
ing companies of the city will be
readjusted. The Department of La
bor acting in conjunction with the
War Board hove arranged a plan
of settlement according to reports
tonight.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10.—
There is hope given tonight that
the strike of the ironworkers will
be satisfactorily adjusted.
While, so far nothing is given
out by Mediator Boyce it is gener
ally stated that the strike will soon
end.
The fact that there is consider
able restiveness noted in other
trades is cause for anxiety lest the
trouble spread.
Strike conditions are general
throughout the country.
MINERS KILLED ILLINOIS
ORE MINE YESTERDAY
BENTON, 111., Sept. 19.—Lack
of safety precautions and the mad
rush of greedy profit seekers for
the spoil regardless of the conse
consequences accounts for the
death of five miners and the injury
of six today when the defective
counter balance crashed through
the roof of the cage in which tho
rnindrs were about to ascend from
the ore mine at this place.
The usual labor dividends have
cast a gloom over the place and
the dissatisfaction of the miners at
the ramshackle equipment is in
creasing.

PETROGRAD, Sep. 19.—Fight
ing of considerable dimensions is
now taking place on three fronts
Bukowina, Rumania and along the
Riga-Dvina sector.
In each of these the Russians
during the past twenty-four hours
j have made some gain?.
I The fighting in Rumania where j
I the Russo-Rumanian armies do
[ livered a heavy attack against the
1 German positions resulted in a sub-!
stantial victory nten and guns being
captured.
The Germans are greatly
strengthening their lines in the
Dvina sector and evidently intend
to make a stand to resist the furth
er advance of the Russians.
Kerensky is now on his .vav and

Extensive operations are expected
in that region before the winter

BERLIN', Sept. 1!).—Tlis Russians
are showing renewed activiy along
• lie entire eastern front. They are
evidently subjecting the forces in
the Galician front to extensive re
organization. It Is known that
some of the regiments now engaged
there took part in heavy fighting
quite recently in the Riga sector.
The pressure at no place is very
heavy as yet.
WASHINGTON, D C., Sept. 19.—
While nothing is given out, it seems
to be a generally accepted condi
| lion that beyond calling the atten
tion of the Swedish government to
j the activities of their agents in
I neutral countries against the United
; States and the Entente powers in
■ favor of Germany, there will be
nothing done in the matter. The
| government has through its atn
I bassador at Stockholm taken the
i matter up with the Swedish govern
ment and there the matter is likely
to rest pending an official am' form
al investigation by Sweden.
