BETHLEHEM GETS
LABOR RIGHTS
Steel Company's Employes
May Organize Unions,
Board Rules
Washington. Aug. s.—Workers in
the Bethlehem plant of the Bethle
hem Steel Company may organize
to bargain tfllecUvely with their em
ployers the national war labor board
held on Saturday. This is the most
far-reaching decision of this board ,
since it was empowered by Presi- '
dent Wilson to adjust all labor dif- :
faculties during tne continuance of ■
the war. Many wnr work industries
will be affected by this decision.
The Bethlehem Company, through j
President Eugene C. Grace, express
ed the strongest opposition to the
organization of its employes. Every j
possible means were resorted to. the ,
workers s>. to prevent them from
affiliating with unions.
Other provisions of the findings of
the board provide for the entire re
vision or elimination of the plant s
bonus system and that the men shall
be compensated at the rate of one
and one-half time for all overtime :
work and at double wages for Sun- I
day work.
Women employed by the company j
must be compensated at the rate for
which men are paid for the same ]
work; a scale of wages for electrical
workers was sent forth and the re
vision of the wage scale shall not
operate :o teduce wages.*
Provisions were made that a local
board of mediation and conciliation
consisting of sue members, shall be j
established, three members of which
shall be selected by the company
and three by the employes, for the t
purpose of hrlngins about agree
ments on rdisputed issues not cov
ered by this finding. In the event
of the local board failing to bring
about an agreement, the points at
issue shall be referred to the national
war labor board. The members of
the local board shall be compensated
for their services by the parties
whom they represent. This board
shall be presided over by a chairman ,
who shall It seletced by and repre- '
sent the Secretary of War.
The findin&s of the board become ,
effective on August 1 for the dura- j
tion of the war. Either party may J
reopen the case at intervals of six
months for such adjustments as i
changed conditions may render nec
essary.

Officers of 112 th Regiment
Cifed For Bravery
Under Fire
Philadelphia. Aug. s.—Two more
Pennsylvania regiments are winning

mand when his old regiment, the old
4th Pennsylvania Infantry. was
broken up and scattered through
new units which were formed to com
plete the 2Sth or Keystone Division,
as the former National Guardsmen
from this state are known.
In combining these regiments two
colonels of the old National Guard

former 6th Infantry had been tinder
command of Colonel Thomas Biddle

The 112 th United States Infantry
is a combination of the old 16th and
f Sth Pennsylvania Infantry. The new
• unit is commanded by Colonel Geo.
C. Rickards. of Oil City, who com
manded the old 16th before the Na
tional Guard became federalized.
The Sth Infantry was under Colonel
Maurice E. Finney, of Harrisburg.
who was placed in command of the
trains connected with the division
when his old regiment was merged
with the 16th.
Pittsburgh. Aug. s.—Major Allen
Donnelly, and Lieutenant William H.
! Allen. Jr.. members of the old lSth
| Regiment, N. G. P.. have been cited
1 for bravery in France according to
! a dispatch received in Pittsburgh
| last night. Both served in the lSth
! Regiment on the Mexican border
. and accompanied the regiment to
1 France on April 30. ISIS.

Charles Donnelly, a Civil War vet
eran. who died in 1916. Major Don
nelly is 3 8 years old. He joined the
lSth Regiment seven or eight years
' ago.
Lieutenant Allen is a son of W. H.

Colonel E. J. Allen, a veteran of the
Civil War. He has been a tnember of
the old lSth Regiment several years.

Says Ford, of Politics
t hlcaso. Aug. 5. "Other politi
cians. office holders and party leaders
may deliver all sorts of speeches on
the Senatorship in Michigan. 1 do
r.ot want the Senatorship. unless there
is a wide demand for me. I wish I

"And 1 won't spend a red cent or
utter a single word to be elected
Senator. 1 have no use for politics,

"1 shall never move a hand in the
Senatorship business. If I am elected
I shall do all I can for the people. I
will have the welfare of them In mind i
all the time.
"If the people think I would be a
good Senator, they can have me. If •
they don't, so much the better But
there won't be any politics with me
at any stage of the game.
"We're going to thrash 60.000 bush - '
els of wheat raised on my grounds." j
he added.
You mean in Kansas?" was asked.
"No. right in Detroit, between the

And it's some wheat?" Mr. Ford
beamed.

NEW DRAFT LAW
MAKES 26,000,000
'WORK OR FIGHT'
Crowder to Have Greatest
Power in History Over
Human Destinies
Washington. Aug. s.—lt is pre
| dieted there will be opposition in the
lower branch of Congress to the pro-
Iposal to take boys under twenty
one. but as the proposed legislation
will be Kicked by President Wilson
and Secretary of War Baker there
!is little doubt it will be enacted
I after a certain period of time has
: feen allowed for debate.
Vnder the amended law 16.000.000
men of the United Stated will be
j brought within the scope of the
I "work-or-fight" regulations of the
military authorities, and- Enoch H.
j Crowder. provost marshal general.
I will be given a power over human
: destinies greater perhaps than any
i other one man in the world has ever
jheld.
Such an army will be twice the
, siie of the maximum Great Britain
j has maintained in France and ought
to be sufficient to turn the tide for
all time against the Germans.
An ary of 5.000.000, however, is
not the ultimate maximum if ship
| building is maintained at the present
' pace. Ships alone can limit the man
! power effort the United States will
: put forth against Germany.
I There naturally is no intention of
; calling immediately to the colors
even all the class one men under
the extended age limits. There are
not sufficient facilities to take care
lof such an inflow.
The plan is to call out the men
I by age "classes" as they are needed.
' and the very first step may be to
' draft all single men up to thirty
i three or thirty-six years of age. It is
not proposed, however, to send such
i men into the tiring line, but to put
.them in noncombatant and supply
services behind the lines. The miU*
! tary authorities are anxious to hold
! the age of the fighting men at thirty
land below if they can possibly do so.
for men above thirty cannot stand
the hardships of trench work. They
I break down under a strain which
younger men laugh at and often be
come a hospital burden rather than
a tighting asset.
There is no likelihood either that
boys of eighteen or nineteen will be
called immediately into the army. It
is proposed, however, that they shall
be mobilized at once for military
training and vocational education
pending the time they are drafted.
Thus in effect the new bill will
put into practice a scheme of uni
versal military training.

HUN HORDES ARE
THROWN ON DEFENSIVE
[Continued from First Page.]
j for the purpose of holding the allies
j from breaking through and also to
; prevent them from getting between
; the Vesle and the Aisne before he
| can get his troops to the northern
i stream. The heights of the Chemin
' ties Dames offer the most suitable ■
defensive position, but even this
I would be precarious if the French
can move forward from north of the
I Aisne in the Soissons region. A
j strong movement here sufficient to
i carry the French to Fort De Mal
j maison. the western key of the One-!
niin des Dames ridge, would have to I
be on a more extended front.
This also would threaten serioa.'-
! ly the enemy positions in the salient
] about Montdidier and the line t >r-
S ther north in Picardy and probably
j accounts for the withdrawals nortn
and south of the Somme.
Ketirc Before British
British troops now hold Hamel
| and Dernancourt on the west bank
of the Ancre and the Germans now
| are to the east of the river. At Al
bert where the Ancre divides the
town, the situation Is not clear.
From Mc-snil-St, Georges, west of
Montdidier to Braches, the Germans'
are retiring across the Avre. Their;
retrograde movement already lias
ii.veraged two miles on a seven-mila]
I s'ront. The French hold Braches.;
• have penetrated into Hargicourt and,
are on the outskirts of Couvte-;
: marche.
The movements to the eastern i
i bank of the Ancre and Avre are c oth
defensive in character. The German
holdings west of the rivers were not
very large but large enough to Pave
j served as "jumping off" places in
'future operations. The allies noT
contro! the heights west of each
i stream. Military experts have call
j ed the Avre the path to Amiens and
| the enemy positions on the west
bank were most important if the
! drive for Amiens was to be continued
' with success.
Many Prisoners Taken
Great quantities of ammunition
I and guns have been taken by the
I French. American and British troops
south of the Vesle and all indications
, are that the German retirement was
! hasty and due to the strong allied
j pressure all along the front which
• now has been shortened to thirty
i two miles between Soissons nrid
! Rfceims. No additional report on
i total of prisoners has been made
i since the middle of last week, but
I in Paris it is declared that when 'he
• aggregate of prisoners captured is
made known it "will thrill the nl
, lied world." General Pershing re
i ports that American troops alone
have captured 8,400 men and 103
guns.
Prison Inspectors Say
Jail Is Crowded With
Short-Term Prisoners
' Prison inspectors at a recent meet
; ing passed a resolution in which it
was decided to confer with Mayor
Keister on an arrangement which
would prevent overcrowding the pris
i on with men and women who are
| serving short sentences because ot
their inability to pay a fine of from i
125 to SSO. According to the prison
i officials during July the daily average
| number of prisoners at the jail was
: more than 200: a large number of
them serving sentences ranging from
! 20 to 30 days because they could not
I 1 pay fines. No definite arrangement
has bec-n made to employ these pris
oners on road work or at other labor
1 with the result that the jail is filled
' with scores of able-bodied men who
| are needed for all kinds of work. It
is likely some of the prison inspec
tors and the Mayor will confer on the
question.
