Ruling by War Labor Board Upholds Organization of Munition Workers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 The right

of workers of ammunition . plants to organize in trade unions or groups and

to bargain collectively tnrouga cnoseu representatives Is recognizer and affirmed in an award made public Wed

nesday by the National War L,aoor

Board in controversy uemru Smith & Wesson company, arms manufacturers, and their employes at Springfield, Mass. Their board ruled that any employes discharged in violation of the principles of the award should be restored to their positions and paid for all time lost on account of the discharge. The practice of the company in times past to make restrictive personal contracts, even if . lawful when made, is contrary to the principles of the board, it was stated in the award, and the practice should be discontinued for the period of the war. The board ruled that employers should not discharge workers for membership in trade unions nor for legiti

mate trade union activity, and that the workers on their part in the exercise of their rights to organize should not use coercive measures of any kind to induce employers to bargain or deal with them. Representatives to present grievances and mediate with the company, the beard suggested, should be elected bv the employes in a convention in a

public building in the neighborhood of

the plant. In commenting upon tne award Joint Chairman Walsh said that

it was one of the most important cases yet decided by the board. The company claimed the right to make individual contracts with the men, he said, which was intended to prevent employes from thereafter joining labor unions under the right guaranteed to them by the very first principle of the War Labor Board.

'By Associated Press) 1 WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. llore than 100 Russian army and navy officers now in this country, practically find themselves in a "can't-work-can't-fight" class. They came to the United States in various official capacities for the old Russian government under Czar Nicholas, but with the fall of his empire, their official positions likewise perished. They now find themselves as men without a country, their old land in turmoil, and their funds though many of them were rich in Russia almost exhausted. Many of the men are military and naval specialists, having been sent to this country as inspectors and buyers of arms and munitions. All are well educated, some speaking several languages. All are sJd to be anxious to return home, but getting to Russia now is most difficult, and few of them have money with which to travel. Some, it is hinted, may go into Siberia, joining the American experditionary force, but this is a question that has not been decided by the war department. The plight of the men, however, has been called to the attention of officials of the United States government, who

i

are seeking to place the men In govern ment work, it was said today. Private concerns also are employing the men, getting in tougch with them through the Russian embassy. Among the army officers are found men ranking from lieutenants to major-general, and among the navy those ranking from ensign to commander.

No Change in Bread Situation in France

ALLIES GAIN

Continued From Page One emy appears unable to stay the attacks which increasingly threaten the stability of his defensive system in France. On four seotors the troops under Marshal Foch are hitting the German positions for good gains. Unless the Germans want to sacrifice men needlessly to defend partly outflanked sa

lients, it would appear the time is close at hand for an enemy retirement. The security of Noyon and the salient about it seems most precarious as the armies of Generals Humbert and Mangin press forward from the south and west. The menace of the

French blow here also includes the German position from the Somme to Soissons and probably to Rheims. Directed at Bapaume. General Bying's successful attack between Albert and Arras, apparently is aimed at the important base of Bapaume and if driven deep would outflank the enemy positions north of the Somme to the Ancre. Already the British are within four miles of Bapaume from the west and their pro

gress continues. Farther north the British maintain the pressure which slowly is flattening out the Lys salient. With the fall of Lassigny and the high ground surrounding it, the German resistance in that region is said to be relaxing. From Lassigny, General Humbert is in a position to outflank Roye and Noyon by advancing toward Nesle. The French also are moving toward Noyon along the west bank of the Oise south of which it

curves lo the east. Southeast of Noyon, General Mangin's troops have reached the river Oise near Pontoise, three miles from Noyon. In the centre also they have pushed farther northward. General Mangin is reported to have increase by several thousands the 10,000 prisoners taken up to Tuesday night. On his left flank, which, if driven eastward, would make untenable the German line north of the Vesle, enemy resistance apparently has held up progress for the movement. In the new operation north of the Ancre, the British have advanced an average of three mile3 on a ten-mile front and

have reached the Albert-Arras railroad, crossing it on the northern end of the attacking front. On the north the British have advanced to Mercatel, which is almost on the old Hindenburg line as it was before the Arras offensive of April 1917. At Achiet-Le-Petit, on the southern end, the attackers are within four miles of Bapaume. Enemy Suffers Heavy Loss. The Germans suffered heavy losses in General Byng's surprise attack and the number of prisoners and guns is
