WILSON TALKS TO LABORITES
REMOVAL OF BELGIANS CAUSES MUCH COMMENT
FALL OF MONASTIR
IS NOW IMMINENT
LONDON, Nov. 19.—All advices
from the Balkans serve to confirm
the views that despite the deter
mined efforts of the Bulgars and
Teutons to prevent it, the fall of
Monastir is imminent.
That the Bulgars atach much im
portance to holding the city is clear
from the importunate appeals to
Germany and Austria for troops to
defend it, reinforcing the hard
pressed Bulgars. The fact that the
transfer of Mackenzen troops was
effected at so critical a moment in
Dobrudscha, especially when the
Russo-Rumanian offensive became
so serious, shows that the important
effect upon the morale of the Bul
gars and Turks as well as the Teu
ton troops such a fall would have is
not lost upon the German leaders.
The fall of Monastir would greatly
increase the confidence of the Ruma
nians who have been fighting with
determination.
BERLIN, Nov. 19.—Unofficial re
ports are published by the Tageblatt
of a serious Serbian repulse in their
efforts to gain the heights around
Monastir. The Serb losses according
to this report are very heavy.
SALONIKI,
Nov. 19.—General
Sarrail has gone to the front at
Monastir where the situation is
reaching a dramatic climax in the
withdrawal of the Bulgar and Teu
ton troops upon the city defenses
proper. Artillery supplies are be
ing rushed to this front.

GERMANS REPULSED SINGLE
COUNTER ATTACK SOMME
PARIS, Nov. 19.—Artillery fight
ing of a more or less intermittent
nature prevails along the entire west
front.
Only at Berny on the Somme sec
tor was there any attempted attach
when the Germans countered with
considerable weight. They were re
pulsed.
For the past forty-eight hours it
has been raining copiously and all
rivers are swollen. Today this is
turning into a sleet which is render
ing impossible any operations of an
important nature.
LONDON, Nov. 19.—The troops
are resting in vile weather condi
tions on the western front, says an
evening bulletin. Trenches are
water flooded and fields are soaked
with rain, making everything liter
ally a sea of mud.
No operations of a smashing na
ture are possible while conditions
are as they are at present.
PARIS, Nov. 19.—Numerous
aerial duels are reported among the
distance scouts in the aeroplanes.
There is a desultory artillery fire
maintained at many points, but none
of it a very violent bombardment.
Both sides are taking part.
Troop movements of some size
and importance are reported back of
the German lines.

WILSON TRIES PREVENT
STRIKE ON RAILROADS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 19.—
President Wilson is at the White
House striving with might and
main to prevent a railroad strike,
in the event of the companies not
agreeing to abide by the Adamson
bill. It is now growing apparent
that there will be a number which
will not.
A joint congressional investiga
tion with the railroads begins on
Monday next.. Adamson, the author
of the now famous bill, on Satur

Railroad managers have openly
confessed that the suits now being
filed against the enforcement of the
Adamson law will enable them pre
vent an enforcement of the law
until further investigation.
Brotherhood men are bitterly op
posed to any delay. Conductor head
Garretson said that it was a nice
state of affairs it when a law
is passed the companies could
choose their own time for obeying
it. “How about a workingman? It
a single act is violated by a work
ingman, the prosecution gets busy
right away and he is lucky if he
keeps out of jail." The companies
dont expect to be jailed, anyway.
They are souless and body-less cor
porations and they can defy the law
—at least that is what their action
just now would seem to convey”, in
substance, declared the railroad
leader.

DELEGATES VISIT THE
PRESIDENT, WASH.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 19.—Presi
dent Sam Gompers chaperoned a
number of .delegates to the Amer
ican Federation of Labor convention
today on a junketting trip to the
capital where they met Wilson at
the White House.
There were four hundred delegates
in all made the visit to the White
House, where they listened to an
up-lifting homily from the president
whose support Gompers urged so
strongly.
Wilson spoke against class dis
tinctions and strife between laboi
and capital. They both had a com
mon interest and the welfare of the
employer and employee were the
same.
He pleaded for unity of action
upon the part of all Americans tc
join in a common movement to ad
vance the cause of Humanity. He
himself stood for Justice and fair
play and that with a human soul
dictating it.
Wilson then went through the
trying ordeal of shaking four hund
red hands and received the congra
tulations of the delegates upon his
re-election.
He said that he wished success to
the Federation in its fight for
greater freedom and greater justice.
The delegates then returned io
their hotels where sumptuous
lunches were put down to travelling
expense account.

HUGE SUMS SET AS
LIBEL ON DEUTSCHLAND
NEW LONDON, Nov. 19.—The
sinking of the tugboat escort of the
Deutschland is described as a re
grettable accident. Captain Koenig
thinks it the fault of the tugboat
captain in not realizing how far
under water the bow of the U boat
extended. He explains that the sub
marine’s bows are sharp as a knife
for underwater travelling.
NEW LONDON, Nov. 19.—The
tug company has libelled the
Deutschland for the sum of twelve
thousand dollars for the loss of the
tug. The families of the three men
who lost their lives in the sinking

a secure bond against the libels
which have been placed upon the
Deutschland so that the under sea
boat may be able to depart.
The liner has been slightly in
jured but will soon be ready for sea.
In fact Koenig says the beat is now
ready.

ELECTION IN SECOND
JUNEAU, Nov. 19.—The fate ot
the delegate election is believed now
to rest with the various precincts ot
the Second Division which as yet
have not been heard from. Conflict
ing reports are coming out, some ad
vising that there are over three
hundred votes yet to be heard from
and others much less. Three hund
red votes have the power to swing
the plurality either for Wickersham
or Sulzer. Reports indicate that it
will be pretty well an even break,
and for that reason the Sulzerites
are satisfied their man will win.
trary to reports, there are no allied
ships officially reported outside the
three mile limit off this port.
The Germanists insist that the
collision was the result of British or
French motor patrol activities.
HUGHES ANI» WIFE
SEEKS QUIET RESORT
NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—After re
mainihg within his suite of rooms
in the Astor, a much disappointed
and greatly surprised man, Gover
nor Hughes and wife quietly de
parted from their hotel on Saturday
for Lakewood, New Jersey.
Ever since November 7, with the
issue so close in so many states,
Hughes has remained in his hotel
with his secretary and staff, hoping
against hope that the result would
turn in his favor. On Friday it was
admitted by his friends that with
California so positively Wilsonian,
he might as well abandon hope.
His secretary kept up the Governor’s
spirit, and Wilcox still says that
they haire nothing to concede. He
knows he is defeated however.
