Strikers Resume Pending
A Final Agreement
i
SEATTLE, July 17.—The long
shoremen who have been on strike,
after a conference, compro
mise upon the scale of wages
now paid the strike breakers pend
Ing the final adjustment of the
trouble. The union will be recog
nized.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 17.—The
longshoremen vote to return to'
work at the scale prevailing before!
the first of June and will probably i
begin work on Wednesday. This
breaks the coast sqlidarity.
SAN FHANCISCO, July 17.—The
efforts of ihe employers now seem
to be mainly directed towards
breaking the unity of action be
tween the various ports in the long
shore strike. In this they are re
ceiving considerable aid from high
union tfliciais whether intention
ally or not.
The latter ire urging a compro
mise settlement providing that re
cognition is extended their organi
zation.
The mpn seem to be inclined to
fall in with this idea, and will re
turn to work according to the vote
cast on Saturday on this proposi
tion.
Papers here claim that the strike
may fairly be considered ended.
SEATTLE, July 17.—The break!
in the solidarity along the coast is
claimed to be a victory for the em
ployers. In some ports the men will
possibly be fought to the bitter end
while in other ports the disputes
are settled according to the agree
ments with the unions. The fate ot
the union men in Tacoma and
Portland is uncertain.

LIRT OF RUSSIANS KILLED
_ _
BERLIN, July 17.—Two hundred
and sixty thousand Russians have
been killed since they inaugurated
their offensive on the east front.
This list includes seventeen gen
erals, fourteen thousand officers
and other prominent military men.
BERLIN, July 17.—General von
Linsingen by a powerful attack
halted the Russian advance near
the Lipa after which with hij
troops he retired behind the Lipa.
PETROGRAD, July 17.—The pa
pers here ridicule the German ef
forts to excuse their defeats east
and west. The declaration that
Linsingen halted Brussiloff’s ad
vance on the lower. Lipa is so obvi
ously untrue that even the dis
patches from the Russian general
reporting that they are continuing
their advance and sending fourteen
thousand prisoners to the rear,
taken in today’s fighting across the
lower Lipa, were not required to
reveal this.
The papers here claim that the
German war authorities are getting
desperate lest the real facts of the
situation become known to the peo
ple. They cite the tardy admission
of the British capture of the Or
villers woods within their third line
in proof of this.
BERLIN, July 17.—Von Hinden
berg’s counter attacks have halted
the Russians whose assaults were of
minor weight near Riga.

therefore President Wilson signed

is to be the winning card for the

Rural credits is now part of the

No objections are materializing
to the appointment of John R.
Clarke to the Supreme Bench vice
Hughes resigned.
On the contrary the papers which
have been* opposing Brandies with
considerable vehemence think the
choice an excellent and judicious
one. This makes the common man
suspect a nigger in the wood pile,
and doubts not that Clarke may not
be what he was expected to be: A

saved.
LONDON, July 17.—The Chan
cellor of the Exchequer told the
House of Commons that the British
were spending money at the rate of
thirty millions per day, prosecut
ing the war. Reginald M’Kenna’s
statement was more optimistic than
this fact would appear to indicate,
as the revenues which are being
raised will not be far short of the
requirements in addition to the
money acquired by the loans for
which interest is included. The
Chancellor signifies that the expen
ditures will from now on show a
great decrease owing to the expire
tion and non-reneWal of munition
contracts with foreign countries.
M’Kenna says that the Minister ot
Munitions agrees that they will be
able to take care of the future mili
tary requirements of the nation in
their own factories..
