Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.
LONDON, Aug. 15.—~Nearly all the
trenches captured by the Germans
northwest of Pozieres during Sunday
have been recovered by the British,

from the heavy rainstorm on Mon
day, there was furlous fighting along
the western slope of the ridge north
of Pozieres last night.
Strong attacks were delivered by
the British troops after the German
positions had been subjected to a
powerful bombardment,
The Germans resisted desperately,
but the British were able to penetrate
the Teuton position, occupying impor- |
tant trenches which they had lost 36‘
hours earlier,

Infantry attacks were made by the
Germans southwest of Peronne, the
French War Office stated in its daily

had been read, the President went
into details with the managers and
asked numerous questions regarding
the claims that they made. He also
demanded and received answers to
questions that he already had pro
pounded to the brotherhood represen
tatives.
It was admitted by many of the
managers that today's conference had
been more satistactory than that held
yesterday.
President Determined.
In discussing this phase, one of the
managers said:
“Yesterday afternoon the President
did not seem to have any settled idea
of what should be done. Today it
was plain that he has accepted him
self as mediator between the roads
and the men and that he is deter
mined that ne will not let go until a
satisfactory solution is in sight. That
Is a hopeful sign for us, although it
may mean that we will have to stay
here for a few more day. We can not
say what has and is transpiring be
cause it would be discourteous to the
President and might seriously inter
fere with the plans for settlement, but
we belleve now that the President in
tends passing offer and counter offer
back and forth until he finds a way
that will meet the views of both sides.
The great danger, in my opinion, is
hot-headedness on the part of certain
of the labor leaders, who continue to
insist that they can not arbitrate the
eight-hour day. But the President
today seemed confident that he wauld
be&‘flable to prevent any precipitate
signing of any strike orders.”
One of the big arguments which
Spokesman Lee and the other railway
managers used to the President today
was what they declared the physical
difficulties of putting an eight-hour
day into operation on railorads under
present conditions. If it was just a
Guestion of working the men eight
hours and then having them stop,
they said, they would willingly accept
the plan imrmediately.
Freight Runs Too Long.
But they heid that there was hardly
a division on any of the railroads in
the country that the employees could
cover a freight run in eight hours, and
because of this, they said, overtime
would have to he paid to almost every
freight employee. And under the
rules this overtime would have to be
at the rate of one and a half or double
time, thus greatly increasing operat
ing expenszes, ‘
Time and again, it is understood.
the managers insisted they would
gladly give the men a shorter work
day if possiblé. It was during this
discussion that the concrete proposi
tion to accept the eight or nine hour |
work day in principle was brought ap
and the proposition m- de that the
roads would declare for it if the men
would agree to have the manner of
making it effective, together with
overtime and the like, passed on to a
neutral arbitration board. !
After the conference broke up word
was sent to the brotherhood represen
tatives at their hotei to be prepared to
meet the President at 8 o'clock. They
declared that they would hold no ad
ditional conferences prior to that
time.
“We know where we stand today,
we knew where we stood yesterday,
and we know where we will stand to
morrow,” said A. B. Garretson, of Lhe
condustors, “and that is on the prin
ciple that we will not surrender our
hard-earned gains of 30 years at this
time.”
None of the officiais of the brother
hoods would discuss the proposition
of arbitrating the manner in which
the eight-hour day was to be put into
effect.
. ““We will have our say to the Preasi
dent,” was all they would say.
Worried at Railway Attitude.
The President is admittedly espe
cially worried by reports that practi
cally all of the big railroads are
agreed that if the strike finally ma
terializes they will make no efforts to
enforce operation of trains by em
ploying strikebreakers It was esti
mated at the offices of the Board of
Mediation and Concillation that about
10 per cent of the railroads Involved
would lose their charters by not at
tempting to run trains. At the same
time it was stated that word had been
recefved on reliable authority that the
railroads will ‘nsist that they have
met all demands for wage increase
that they could without receiving in
creased rates for the transportation of
merchandise.
“Twenty-four hours of such a strike
would cause more suffering than an
invading army,” said Judge Cham
bers, head of the mediation board, in
commenting on the situation. “I re
call a 24-hour strike on one compara
tively small railroad. Half a dozen
important hospitals were without
milk, rates on various commodities
Increased 100 per cent and great suf
fering resulted before that short time
;was up. I ean not think that either
side in this dispute will be willing to
shoulder the awful responsibility of
bringing about such a state of af
fairs.” ;
Postoffice Lays Plans.
While the Postoffice Department is
studiously avolding projecting {tself
into the controversy at this time, it is
known that conferences are being held
and arrangements for quick action
are being made in anticipation of a
suspension of railroad operation. It
was reported generally here today that
enough traias to carry mails would be
manned by soldiers if the men did not
furnish the workers themselves,
“In President Cleveland's adminis
tration there was a serious strike |
which threatened to tie up the mails,”
sald Judge Chambers. “On that oc
casion the President said that if nec
essary he would use the entire United
States Army to take cars across the
country.” .
Although there have been reports
that the entire strike situation is to
be referrad to the Interstate Com
merce Commission for settlement,
this is not eonfirmed by officials. It is
pointed out thati the men will not tol
erate handling f\t the situation by an
agency not resppnsible to the White
House, p?

An amendment seeking to give the
Western and Atlantic re-leasing com
mission authority to enter into nego
tiations for the sale of the State road,
in the event it is unable to make a
satisfactory lease, was offered in the
House Tuesday to the Senate bill to
authorize the extension of the road to
the sea.
Speaker Burwell offered the amend
ment, took the floor and led a fizht‘
for his amendment. His only purpose
in offering the amendment, he said,
was to give the commission a free
hand to dispose of the property in the
most advantageous manner, just as
the directors of a privately owned
railroad would have. He declared he
did not believe at this time the peo
ple ‘would vote to sell the road, but
he believed the commission should not
be tied with restrictions.
Personally, he said he favored the
sale of the road. The State is not
getting 5 cents net revenue from it, if
everything that should be was
charged against it, he declared. A
study of the mmps in the Railroad
Commission’s office will show that if
the N., C. & St. L. is taken away the
State road hasn’t sufficient terminal
property to unload a bax car, he said,
“The road has already been paral
leled,” he continued. ‘“The anti-par
alleling act passed at the last session
is not worth the paper it was written
on, and some day the State will wake
up to the realization that its value has
been depreciated to such an extent
that it will be worthless.
“It is absurd to place a wvalue of
$20,000,000 on the line from Atla’r.\xe to
Chattanooga and think that an extlen-.
sion can be built three times the dis
tance for $10,000,000.”
His amendment carried with it the
provision a sale contract should not
be closed until the people had voted
‘on the disposition of the proceeds. \,
Representative Fullbright, of Burke,
opposing the extension bill, eriticised
the anti-paralleling act. He predicted
an extension would be worthless,
pointing out the struggles of the A,
B. & A. in that Bection.
Representative Elders, of Tattnall,
favored the extenslon of the road
and spoke in opposition to any effort
to sell ft.
Several minor amendments were
introduced. Representative Rich, of
Miller ,offered one to substitute “any
port on the Gulf of Mexico,” for the
Georgia ports named, pointing out
that it would put the extended State
road in closer toudh with the com
merce of the Panama Canal.
Speaker Burwell has just conclud
ed speaking when adjournment was
taken.

SAVANNAH, Aug. 15.—Because Sa
vannah was too dry for them, 200
Eagles flew to Jacksonville last night,
leaving the Grand Aerie convention in,
Savannah to get along as best it can
without them. ¢
When Mayor Pierpont delivered the
address of welcome last night in the
Savannah theater hisses from several
parts of the packed theater greeted
him. These ceased, and there was no
further demeonstration against him.
A rumor that 50,000 bottles of beer
were expected on an ocean steamer
from New York was going the rounds
among the Fagles today, but the Sa
vannah police state there is nothing
to this.
This morning at 10 o’clock the first
Grand Aerie session, for members
only, was held at the Savannah Thea
ter at 10 o’clock, Grand Warthy Pres
ident Willilam L. Grayson, of Savan
nah, presiding.
Band concerts are being held after
noon and night in the parks and
squares, and the visitors are having a
delightful time, in spite of prohibi
tion.
The weather has added much to the
pleasure of the Eagles, as 88 was the
highest the mercury reached for the
last two days. i
