ORGANIZED LABOR OPPOSES
THE “WORK OR FIGHT” ACT
WASHINGTON, Aug. JO.—Organized labor’s emphatic
opposition to the “work or fight” amendment to the new man
power bill, extending the draft ages, was presented to the bouse
military affairs committee today hv Frank Morrison, secretary
of tin1 American Federation of Labor.
Mr. Morrison declared that the provision authorizing the
withdrawal of deferred classification from men absent from
work without cause was conscription of labor in a covert way.
He declared that the provision was unnecessary, and suggested
that special interests were secretly pressing anti labor legisla
tion.
Scores of protests from labor unions were placed before the
committee.

GERMANS ARE VERY WEAK
ON THE WESTERN FRONT
1,()NIK)N, Aug. liO.— It is believed in Cologne that the (h i
mans an* weaker on the western front than even the allies
claim. According to a dispatch from The Hague, in the Co
logne district all leaves of absence from the front have been re
duced one-half, and men are being sent to the front from hos
pitals before they are fit. Letters from the front have been dis
continued, and deserters are being sent to the trout from the
punishment camps. Wounded horses art* being hurried west
with bandages still in place.
