The Italian troops by a strong coun

checked the Austria-German efforts to
capture the Aalago plateau and threat

on the river Plave, . about - 20 miles

but were repulsed In the attempt to de

constructed.
Fighting in the region) about Asiago
and between there and Monte Cimole
is very bitter.- The Austro-Germans
attacked In force and gained some de
fenses, only to be thrown back by the
force of the : Italian counterattack.
Berlin says that Monte Longara has
been captured, but Konae reports offi
cially that tbe position has has been
held against tbe Teutonic efforts. At
Canove, west of Asiago, an Italian
counter thrust repelled the Invaders,
and resulted n the mention of Ital
ian prisoners. .
Between Monte Cimone and" the
Plave, Berlin claims the capture of
Fonxasd, which probably was given up
by" the Italians In a restirement to
straighten out their line.' The Ital
ians have occupied their new positions
in this region, and the Austro-Germans
are in contact ' with them' 1
The crossing of the Piave near Zen
son, proved a more serious menace
to tne nave line than the attempts
in the Asiago resun. The 'Invaders
tried to advance from the bridgehead
they established, but were driven back
to the river bank by the'' Italians.
Further Teoutonic attempts to debouch
may be expected, and unless the Ital
ian defenses continue strong, the Plave
position may become so weakened that
it may have to be given un.

By the Plans of Railroad Worker to
Demand Wage Increases. ,
(Br The Aaaelate4 Praaa)
Washington, Nov 14. Aroused by the
plans of the railroad men brother
hoods, to demand wage Increases,
President Wilson has set the machin
ery of the Federal government in mo
tion to avert if possible, the threat of
a paralysis of the country's transporta
tion systems so vital to the war.
At a conference with the heads of
the "Big Four" brotherhoods at the
White House on November 22. Presi
dent Wilson will appeal to the labor
leaders to defer any struggle until raf
ter the country has passed thorugh the
period where Its transportation sys
tems are so vital to conduct of the
war. - . -
With the announcement of this con
ferenee it was disclosed that President
Wilson was entertaining every hope
for . a complete agreement, and does
not intend to permit the country's
transportation system to be tied up by
strike at this critical timer in the
nation's history; ' even If it becomes
necessar for the government to oper-
tni -r du uibuio04 -i-i-
that Judge William Chambers, head of
the Federal Board of Mediation and
Conciliation, already has been holding
conference with heads of the Big Four
brothernoods. - .
The status of proceedings so far'?
shows a disinclination of the bro
therhood heads to commit, themselves:
to a plan of arbitrating differences,,
and the hope of the government In
negotiators is for an agreement which -
will postpone any disruption of trans-'
portation8 system until after the war. v
