Eight Hours Is Basic Dav s By the Associated Press f . Wnslilncton, Sept. 5. .Nearly a million railroad employee, Including all clerks, track laborers and maintenance of way men, are to re ceive wfje Increases of $2." a month, the equivalent of one dollar a day or twelve cenis an hour, over the pny J they received last January 1, under j a traite order Issued by Director den- oral McAdoo. Advances are effectlvi as of September 1, This order, aflectlnjj half the rail road men In the United States and adding approximately $150,000,000 to . ithe, annual payroll In calculations o labor representatives, i epresents the jT'sccond largest apgrepato wait In S crease ever granted In American In- i'duStrlal history. It Is supplementary - to thft (rpnprnt rnllrnnd wnrro order Issued nearly four months aso, pro viding for about $.100,000,000 Increases, and for the classes of employes af fected. It supplants provisions of that order. Most of the employes covered by the new order havo made consideraDly less than $100 a month, and the vol Untary Increase was decided on by the director geneial after lnvestign iilon by his advisory board of railroad rvages and yorkltiK conditions of the pay of men doing similar work In ther Industries. In the main, this board's recommendations were fol tfwed. i Elcllt Hour Finnic Iluv The order specified that eight hours t s to be considered the basic day, but overtime up to ten hours is to lie paid pro rata, with one and one-half the regular rate for overtime past the ten hours. Specific rules are laid down for the promotion of employes on grounds of merit and seniority Other regula tions forbidding dismissal of employes without cause, and providing for hear- Ang on appeal resemble the rules now In effect under Government civil service. These restrictions will affect mainly the SOO.000 railway clerks. Thousands of women clerks employed .by the railroads aro to receive the same pay as men for similar work, but the Interpretation of "similar work" Is left to executives. Back pay from January 1 wjll be made under the former general wage order, and the advances now granted will be figured on top of the wage last January 1. rather than on the Dav re Jfllvpfl In thn ImmniTtnln nnot nnilnp tliu ' general wage Increase, .Minimum rates of pay are estahllf-hed for all classes covered by today's order, but the In creases of $2fi a month, applies If the employe uoclcerl on a monthly or weekly I basis, and of twelve cents an hour ap- iplles If the employe worked by the hour.

By ip A$ocialed Prrss Willi the American Army on Vcsle, Sept. 5. Americans, with the French moving with them on their left, have advanced from the Vcsle to the edge of the plateau along a line from Hrenelle Vutixcere, Blanzy and Baslteux. The Germans nearest this line, along which they might make a rear-guard defense of any consequence, are oppo site the edge of the plateau parallel lug tho Alsne, over which It is obvi ous that they have removed their stores nnd heavy artillery. The advance of the Americans In force began at 4 o'clock yesterday morning, and pntiols. one after an other, have been going over all day and inciting sharp resistance at some points. Orders reamed the American c-om-mnndrrs before da light to send out patrols to Investigate and their ro. porta caused the Immediate dispatch of suppoitlng patrols Before night fall a large part of the army whlcl had been camping along the Vesk was In action on the slopes north of the river. And there was action, not withstanding that the Germans al ready had taken the Initiative In their vithdniw.il Knzoches and Flsmette were occupied by the Americans last night. Wnde nnd Swim Vesle The troops crossed the Vesle In three w.is on the bridges which held ag.tins- the German guns and air bombs, on the trunks of trees felled as substi tutes for bridges, and In. alternately wading nnd swimming Although offi cially characterized as patrols, the ag gregate of troops sent across during yes terday was quite large enough to hold the ndantage gained. For a few hundred ards north of the Vesle there Is a succet-slon of slopes cut by ravines, extending down to tho river It was up these slopes and not by way of the ralnes that the Americans worked their way l'very ravine and other depresslop was avoided, for the Germans had filled these with gas. While the adanclng troops were able for the most part to dodge the gas, they were not able to escape altogether the muchlne-gun fire. Murhine-Gun Net llicrynbere Tbe resistance the Americans encoun- tereH was from macmne guns an air planes Almost even' cover on Irtu ally every slope sheltered a machine gun nest, the operators of which un successfully endeavored to check the, ad vance. The densest concentration was along the ridges north of Bazoches and Fismette, and In at least two instances desperate efforts were made to hold back the thin line of tho adanclng forces. The Americans rushed the machine guns only In exceptional cases. More frequently they worked around the nests until they had the German at a disad vantage, the artillery in some cases do ing the work for the Infantrymen. U. S. Guns Destroy Munitions Fires which wer seen at various places had glen llse to reports that the Germans were burning villages and farm houses, but this has not been gen erally accepted as a fact, the smoke clouds seen being attributed to the de struction of ammunition by the Allied shells In some Instances and In more numerous cases to the destruction of supplies that it was Impossible to re move and the burning or temporary building. They have not burned the French towns In this region, perhaps because the buildings are of stone con struction and also because most of them in the zone of fighting are already noth ing more than ruins. The German aviators contributed ma terially to the rear guard defense Every jand the Ftench and Americans advanced was noted by the enemy aviators, who also took an active part In the effort to stop the Allied progress, but in the long run their efforts were as Ineffectual as those nf the line of machine-gun nests. The airmen repeatedly bombej the Americans and let loose with their machlno guns v.hlle fiylng low. The light forces advancing, how ever, were never more than momen tarily checked, as. after disposing them selves for defense In a .way their mobile formation made posslVle. their progress would be resumed after a moment or so.

An American doughboy falling Into the Vesle River tipped off the American troops to the fact that the Hermans had fallen back toward the Alsne, giving up their positions on the northern bank of the Vesle. When the splash of the falling American was not answered by a burst of machine gunfire, the troops Immediately realized that the Germans had retieated. Instead of the splash drawing German machine gunfire there was a dead silence on the northern bank.
