NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—Labor organizations including about 100,000 workers meet today to vote on the question of joining the proposed general strike to take effect here Wednesday morning. Ernest Bohm, secretary of the conference of labor leaders directing the movement, asserted that unions representing 179,500 workers already had voted to quit work.

A meeting of the leaders will be held {this afternoon to hear the reports from the local unions. Among those to vote today are the machinists, metal workers, laundrymen and butchers.

Secretary Bohm asserts that- if the general strike becomes effective it will i ttoj,' last more than two days, as he be£%J' lleves It will quickly force the traction companies to arbitrate with their striking employes.

A.tr Milk Drivers Strike. According to Secretary Bohm, the .... strike among drivers for Borden's

Condensed Milk company, which began yesterday and continued to spread today, was due to an attempt by the "'.company to enforce upon the men the "master and servant" form of contract, which is one of the issues in the traction strike. The Borden company's example was being followed by i other employers, he said,, and would |ij£ot, be tolerated. The milk drivers' strike would be extended to other *nilk companies, he declared. ~vj

CAR PLANT EMPLOYES ON STRIKE OVER CUT

Shortly after the whistle blew at the American Car & Foundry company at Tenth and Crawford streets Monday morning, a body of men walked out of the shops, refusing to accept an announced reduction in the price paid for cutting rivets in wrecking cars from two and one-half to two cents. Some of the men said as many as 100 men had quit their Jobs rather than accept the cut. At the office of the company it was said not more than thirty men had gone out and that same already had returned.

The men said no notice of the reduction was posted, but that when they went to work Monday morning they were told the price would be two cents per rivet. The company formerly paid three and one-fourth cents for this work. The company's' representative said two cents per rivet was paid for this class of work in Chicago and

LONDON, Sept. 25.—A dispatch to the Star from Athens says former Premier Venizelos of Greece has gone to Saloniki.

BULLETIN.

PARIS, Sept. 25.—German troops made an attack upon the Verdun front last night near Vaux-Chapitre wood. The war office report of this afternoon says the attack failed.

Latest reports regarding the irnportant campaigri in the Roumanian' province of D'dbrudja indicate a lessening in the/intensity of the struggle between the Invading -armies of the central powers and the Russians and Roumanians facing them.

Field Marshal Von Mackenzen's Initial attempt to Wreak the allied lines formed to defend the Constanza-Teher-naveda railroad, evidently has failed, the opposing forces apparently now virtually deadlocked along the front from the Danube to the Black sea. The -current statement from Bucharest announces only artillery duels along the Danube. It declares, however, that the Rumanians have made some progress on their left flank, which rests on the seacoast.

In the invasion of Transylvania the Rumanians report success in an attack at Hermannstadt, where 300 men and five machine guns were captured. Nearly 7,000 prisoners have been taken by the Rumanians so far in their Transylvanian campaign.

Today's official statement from Petrograd, declaring no events of importance have occurred along the Rusjsian or Caucasus fronts, is one of the laconic sort customarily issued by the war office when decisive results in pending operations are lacking.. It is probable, however, that adverse weather conditions are playing, an important part in shaping events, hampering the activities of the coijibatants in various fields.

Offcial reports and private dispatches indicate that the fall rains" are interfering with the progress of hostilities OJV virtually all the battle fronts. In mountainous regions such as the Alpine districts and Caucasus, cool weather and snow add to the difficulties of the combatants.

BUCHAREST, Sept. 25.—Success for the Rumanians in both Translyvania and Dobrudja are .reported in an official statement issued by the war office. The statement says the total number of prisoners taken on the north and northwestern front up to the present is 48 officers and 6,836 men.

It was said successive assaults were delivered yesterday on the Bulgarian positions but In each case the attacking forces, although they closely approached the Bulgarian trenches, were unable to penerate them and fell back with heavy losses.
