HALF MILLION MEN ARE
BATTEING AT DEFENSES
"Red" Armies, Hard Pressed
In All Fronts, Strive To
; Avoid Annihilation.
By Webb Miller
(United Press Staff C prrespondent.)
. london. Oct. 17. The collapse and
downfall of bolshevism unless saved by
the intervention of winter was consid
ered 'imminent here today with receipt
of reports that on every Kussian battle
front the enemies of the bolslieviki am
meeting with victory.
Along vast fronts, approximating
more than 1218 miles, armies estimated
at a half million men are battling in a
desperate effort to overthrow the bol
shevik forces. From the White sea to
the Caspian there are also uninter
rupted lines whore half a dozen nation-
alities are closing iu upon tho strong-
holds of the soviet regime.
Bolshevik armies, estimated at, be-'
tsvoen 500,000 and 600,000 in strength,'
are fighting iu the last ditch. Appar-t
ently they are crumbling swiftly.
Tho fighting is proceeding on a scale
of distances unprecedented in history..
At two points the anti-soviet forces aro
deeply penetrating the bolshevik coun
try, while n stupendous circle of armies
is enclosing all of western Russia and
'dually drawing iu toward Moscow,- "'
. With remarkable speed, General Jlcnl
ken is pushing a huge wedge. In the
plains of southwestern Kusaia toward
Moscow, while five hundred miles to the
north General Ymieniteh has reached
Gr.tehina, the gate to Petrograi
Along hundred . of miles of other
fronts various armies are advancing on
the other side of the circle. Seven-hundred
to a thousand miles away, Admiral
Kolchak's Siberian armies have recov
ered from recent bolshevik blows and
nav renewed their advanee.
Conflicting interests cud a Jack of
news make the situation most obseuro,
but an expert of the war office supplied
the United Press with the general out
line today. These armies are in the
field:
The north' Russian army, holding the
Murmnn and Archangel regions and op
erating on fronls of iroximatelv two
or three hundred-miles, has an estimated
strength of between 26,000 and 50,000
men. Within the past three days, it has

way to the south.
Further south the Finnish army is

north of Petrograd. Owing to conflict-

though officials here believe the Finns

some aid. " "

DEBATED TODAY
- Wasliington, Oct. 17. The industrial
conference this afternoon debuted a sub
stitute. to the resolution endorsing c.-
leotive bargaining.
Tho substtiuto, offered by Chairman
Wheeler, of the delegates representing
capitah would reserve to employers the
right to refuse to . deal with organized
employes and their representatives.
The labor, group, will vote solidly
against- tho .substitute, Matthew Woll,
one of the Iffbof leader announced.
Taking the floor immediately after
opening of the afternoon session of the
conference, Woll charged that employers
had injected into the discussions issues
not raised in the collective bargaining
oronosal of labor.
"Labor asks just three things in its
resolution " Woll said. "They are the
rights of the workers to organize, to
bargain collectively, to choose thplr own
1c-w1tS. At lar- admitted !v law. Tin
workens must have them because the
personal relation has been destroyed be
tween employer and employe . v
"Tho open or closed shop, which tho
employers have sought tq inject into the
discussions is not an issue raised in this
resolution.'
Woll said tho substitute proposal of
the employers gives the individual em
plover tho right to deny to his to his
workers nil that is nskod for in the reso
lution of the labor group.
Etmdoyers say their resolution on col
lective bargaining differs from that of
fered by tho labor uroup in that it pro
tects tho people of the oncn shop. Em
ployors point out hat the now resolu
tion expressly stipulates that the right
of workers to refrain from joining labor
Or trade unions shall uot'be denied;
Tho form of tho new resolution also
indicates, that employers have conceded
one point considered vital by labor,
which is tho right of workers to bergoin
through "representatives of their own
choosing.' .
Chairman" Wheeler, introducing the
proposal, said:
Thoro were 14 members of our group
present when wevoted on this resolu
tion, Eleven votes for it and gircc "-

HITS WILSON
Rockefeller, Jr., Tells
Why He Favors Principle
Of Collective Bargaining
By John D. Eockefeller, Jr.
(Written for the United Press.)
(Copyright, 1919, by the United Press.)
Washington, Oct. 17. I believe in th
principle of representation in industry,
which includes the right to organize and
to bargain collectively embodied in the
resolution now pending beforo the na
tional industrial conference.
The resolution is intended as a recog
nition of the manhood of the employe
and of his right to be heard and treated
as a human being and not as a machine,
a mere name on the payroll, a cog m
the wheel, a mere hand. I hope this
principle will be endorsed by the dele
gates to the conference
The principle, applied to all industrial
relations, will help to re-establish tbo
personal relationship which existed in
bygone days. This spirit must b re
established, if not in its original form,
at least as nearly as possible to its orig
inal form. Legislation will never bring I
it about. Much of the present strife aW
bitterness in industrial relations results!

VITAL GLANDS
OF HANGED MAfJ

Press) After Tom (Bellon, murderer,
was hanged at the prison here today,
Dr. O. .David Keiker performed a sim-
nle operation, removing vitality giving
glands from the body and transferring
them to tho body of sou year old man.
Dr. Kelkor chose the 60 year old
prisoner from-several inmates of the
prison who desired to benefit from .the
operation.
Tho oporation has been- performed
nine times 'boforo at the prison but
has been given littl publicity, '
Prisoners who have received the
glands have gained weight and vital
ity and have becn helped mentally, ac
cording to the doctors.

of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Mary Mio

The operation which is expected to

man, was completed within 45 minute.

CUP RACE ASSURED

L. Garrett, secretary of the Koyal Ulster
Yacht club, proposing that tho race
should no started June 24.
to dominate the other ,or arbitrarily to
dictate the terms on which it alone will
cooporate.
8urely it is not consistent for us, as
American, to demand democracy in gov
ernment and practice autocracy tn in
dustry. Can we not, however, ubite in the
adoption of the principle of representa
tion and tho agreement to make every
effort to secure tho endorsmnt and ac,
'cptance of this prineiplo bv all eham-
i bers of commerce, industrial ana com
mercial bodies and all organizations of
labort Such action, I feel confident,
would be overwhelming backed by pub
lic opinion and cordially approved by
the fcd.sral government.
It does not seem to be that it is the
function of this body to undertake to
determine for industry at lr.rgo what
form representation shall take. Once
having adopted tho principle of repre
scntation, it is obviously wise mat tue
method to be employed should be left in
each specific instance to be determined
by the parties Bt interest.
But ndouttion of the idea of repre-
i scntation ib essential to development of
the new spirit between -th0 parties of
