Mfilt Workers' Officials Say Do, Not Get Square Deal. In a statement given out at the TJ. M.

They claim that the reports are so padded as to make it look as though it is the fault of tho men In laying oft while the burden rests upon the shoulders of the mine operators. In several instances they declare that as high as 20 men a day have been laid off on account of improper ventilation in the mines and falls of slate in the working places.

In a contract with the miners the U. M. W. of A. declare that these places should be cleared every morning by the time the men are ready to start work or at least by one hour after starting time, and that if this la not the case the mine boss should see that the men have work or put them on the Job of clearing the fall, ajid that the mine operator should be held responsible for the work and pay the miners regular time.

Instead of this they declare that the miners are laid oft and when a report Is turned in It Is reported in such & way to make it appear that It is the miners' fault that they are off.

Here British patrols have reached tiie outskirts of the town of Neurchin. v, .7 Flflht Rear Guard Actions,

Kverywhere the Germans are fighting rear guard actions with large numbers of men involved in the struggle.

The battle is being fought in a continuous rain, which makes the fighting increasingly difficult. Troops storming ahead lose their footing 19, tho ooze, some sinking in as far as their lines. The wounded returning from the front are plastered with mud.

Cuerne has been stormed and taken and the Belgians have captured Bevrne station They are now before Iseghem.

German Lines Turned.

Today's operations have further turned the German lines both north and south of the area under attack, anrf the enemy retirement reported from the southward is the result. Further withdrawals on a broad scale may be expected unless the weather continues so bad as to prevent further advance. The enemy Is showing signs of great nervousness and more fires and explosions are reported.

Elsewhere along the front other British forces are gaining ground, but their progress ha« been merely lo straighten the lines and to carry out consolidating operations in advantageous positions.

Enemy defenses of great strength were encountered during the day by the British. There were wire entanglements of great depth and innumerable pill boxes which had to be reduced.

There was an impressive scene at Roulers when the place was taken. A French major gathered the rescued civilians and German prisoners around a battered piano in the square and the shells screamed overhead, wiiile ba played the "Marseillaise." "Did you ever hear that before?" he asked the people of the city.

The civilians cheered themselves hoarse. Roulers Not Destroyed*

Houlers was in good condition after the German retirement. East of the city the Ingelmuster road has been crossed. It appears that the enemy •withdrawal southward of the area under attack WiU lavolva the whole UUe salient.

Definite information has been received that the Germans removed Spanish and American rations worth 450,000 francs before abandoning Roulers. The citizens therq showed the French soldiers where there were planted some mines designed to blow up the town.
