As soon as Senator Newlands com pleted his explanation of his bill. Sen ator Cummins asked: "Does the section which Imposes a penalty on all who delay or obstruct operation of trains apply to an em ploye who refuses to move a train?" "It is meant merely to keep the arteries of trade open snd to pre vent any one wilfully closing them," replied Newlands. Senator Reed Joined Cummins In an attack on the penalty section. He got Newlands to admit that that sec tion and the one whlcli gives the in terstate commerce commission power to fix watee, rates and hours of labor were put tn the bill ty the com mittee and not in any way suggested by President Wilson. Reed declared the penalty seotlon virtually means abrogation ot the right to strike and Involuntary servitude for the em ployes, although Newlands Insisted it was not so meant. An amendment by Congressman Sterling, Illinois, proposing that com pulsory Investigation be Included in the Adamson measure was overruled as Irrelevant. Sterling then offered a motion to recommit the bill, with Instructions to Include such a plan. piil ly ns possible. ISSISTI: 15,000 pnisoms AMJMilS Petrograd, Sept. 1. Russian troops captured 289 officers and 15, 501 men In a resumption of the fight ing on the eastern front yesterday, It was officially announced today.

ROUlIfl NUTCRACKER AT IRK FRISCO READY FOR RAILROAD STRIKE San Francisco, Sept 1. Prepara tions for the threatened railroad strike continued today despite, the apparent change for the , better brought about by the introduction of legislation to avert trouble. Today the employee of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe ere receiving final friendly warnings from the com panies, reminding them that any man striking forfeits his Tights to pension and his seniority rights. In addition, the company is posting notices in all waiting rooms, ticket offices and freight depots, warning passengers and shippers that tickets will be sold or shipments received only when the destination can be reached by tomor row night. High board fences, with barbed wire on top, have been built around the terminal yards of tbe Southern Pacific, Western Pacific, Santa Fe and Northwestern Pacific. Railroads report today that more of their employes have definitely de cided to remain with tbe company. With these and a reserve force of pensioned employes they expect to operate several trains dally. Even the Southern Pacific trans-bay ferry service will probably continue In case of a strike, for arrangements were made whereby the S. P. ferry boats, which are not affected by the strike, will operate between the ferry here and the Key Route pier. Express companies have issued a notice that any goods they receive for shipment will be accepted only subject to delay. They will give their attention to keeping up the milk sup ply of the city. There was further assurance today that the price of foodstuffs will he lower rather than higher as a result of the strike and embargo. This was noted In the slumping of the price of all fruit and vegetables, owing to unusually heavy shipments. Washington, Sept. 1.

' The Austrians. caught in the cen- , ter and in danger of' being crushed by . the Jaws of the "nutcracker," already have abandoned more than 400 ; square miles of Transylvaaiaa ter ritory to the Invaders. At least a dozen towns and villages have been -captured by the Roumanians sines , war was declared Sunday night So rapidly are the Austrians retreating on the center that there has been ' little heavy fighting and . but few ' prisoners have been taken.

A Central News dispatch from The Hague today said that the Austrians' are preparing to evacuate Bistritsa. , Heavy fighting continues along the mountain front leading; southward' ' from Bukovina. Along the southern border of Transylvania the Austrians are attempting to make a stand In the mountain . passes.

Forty-five miles farther west, how ever, the Roumanians have pierced to Valkan pass, it is admitted at Vienna, and have marched ten miles north ward into Transylvania to the rail way town of Petrosenyl.
