PROPOSED PORTLAND
STRIKE IS POSTPONED
Final Decision as to Wages
and Conditions to Be Left
to Commission.
Washington. Aug. 21 (U. P) A
nationwide strike In steel shipyards
working on government contracts will
b prevented by wage Increases paid
by the government.
In Ms first flash with organized la
bor on war work, Uncle Sam will rec
ognize the claim that increased cost of
living warrants a higher wage scale.
This developed today from the diffi
culties Into which the requisition of
ship-construction enmeshed the ship
ping board. Shipyard-owners whose
contracts have been taken over by the
government refused to make now wage
agreements with the International
Metal "frades union until the shipping
board approves the Increased wage
scales.
Commission Will Decide
The final decision is to be left to a
special commission of three members
one appointed by President W llson. one I
by President Oompers of the American
Federation of Labor. and the third
member to be appointed by the shipping
board.
Officials of the government and tho
V'nlon which controls bollerrnakers.

the demands of the men will be grant
ed. The new scale !s an advance of
6l rents a day In some rases The
cmly wnse of these men will be $6 and
lit wards Over eight hours' work will
be at time and one half rate.
Expect Settlement of Strike
The increase will be granted In In
dividual yards when present union
agreements expire. Where no joint
agreement Is now in effect at a ship
building center, the case will be sub
mitted to the proposed commission.
The New York shipyards strike may
be settled before the special commis

Washington Aug. 21. (I. N. S.)
President Wilson Is going to modify
the draft regulations as applied to

This was forecast today by a source
close to the White House. From the
same authority It was learned that the
president's ideas of how the law should
be carried cut in this respect will be
made plain before the week ends,
probably in the form of a letter to
! Secretary of War Baker. The fol
lowing modifications of the regula
tions will be among thoso to be sug
gested, it was said today:
First Men with dependent children
will be exempt in every case, unless
they are men of wealth. At present,
under Provost Marshal General Crow
der's interpretation, such men are not
exempt If the parents either of them
selves or wife are able to take care
of her and the children.

"Absolutely unacceptable," was the
response from high French officials
here.

ment today.
Rome. Aug. 21. (U. P.) Italy's
prisoners in the greatest of all drives
her troops have made in the world war
reached a total of 10,000 today.
Semi-official estimates placed the
Austrian losses in dead and wounded
at a minimum of this same figure.
On the three fronts today the Jul

na's drive was continuing in a fierce
combat of men and of guns that re
sounded over nearly a hundred miles
of front.
Italian airmen reported desperate at
tempts by the enemy to reinforce
breaches in the line already achieved
by the attackers.
Prisoners declared hurry calls had
been sent for reinforcements from
Prussia. The unprecedented fury of
the Italian attack is believed to be un
dermining the morale of the Austrian.
General Cadorna's great offensive
sTarted, peculiarly enough, at the very
moment when Austrian airmen were
carrying out a vigorous campaign for
peace. They were dropping tnousanas

With the French Armies In tho

battle of the world was being fought
today.
From the seacoast to ths Swiss

forces were fighting a practicallypon
tlruous offensive?
France's great assault at Verdun.
(till driving on today, completed the
chain of battles which were welded lr.
the forge of war into one gigantic ac
tion of unprecedented extent and
power.
The great battle started with the
Anglo-French offensive in Flanders,
extended to the British offensive at
Ltns. thence to the French attacks
around St. Quentin, then to the French
offensives at Chertiin des Dames,
Moronvilliers and Verdun and con
cludo with heavy artillery fighting In
Lorraine and Alsace down to Switzer
land, i -Allied
Superiority Is Assarted7'
The western front has never seen
such an extensive battle. Nor has the
allies' superiority everywhere been so
asserted.
With three more months of fighting
weather this year, Germany's hold on
the western front may become pre
carious before winter.
Perfect and coordinated strategy
underlies the English and French at
tacks. They have been so timed as to
convert all the fighting into one great
battle.
Once before the allies timed such a
blow, but not Jn the force of that
which waa pushing with terrific power
today. On April 1 the French at
tacked the southern pivot of the Hin-
denburg line a week after the English

fighting developed. As the
Canadians went over the top
the Germans emerged from
their trenches to attack the
Canadians.
The first line of the Ger
mans was already in No Man's

struck thurn. Whirlwind hand

using bayonets, lubbed .rltles
and automatic pistols;
After a half hour's bitter
