STRIKE IS NOW
FEARED ON ROADS
NEW YORK, Db».» 29.—A gigan
tic railroad strike is now looming
up very dark notwithstanding the
Adamson law, but over the failure
to enforce the law which will be
held, it is said, in abeyance until a
judicial decision is rendered upon its
validity.
The brotherhood chiefs went into
a prolonged unannounced conference
today in this city and after its con
clusion announced that they con
templated placing the situation be
fore the men.
The president of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen says that the
membership of his organization are
greatly disatisfled and that a spora
dic strike may spread like a prairie
fire.
The leaders of the railroad broth
erhoods apparently fear that litiga
tion may be endlesly delayed and
the Wilson and investigators de
mands will thus be held to keep the
strike orders in abeyance which will
practically nullify the action of the
railroaders.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 29.—
Secretary Morrison of the American
Federation of Labor in an interview
by the New York Sun says that
Labor did not ask for the Adamson
law at all. It would probably have
been better If the law had not been
passed at all. "Our position”, he
said, "that always been that it is
better to secure improvements in
conditions through strike and eco
nomic action than through legisla
tion.

GERMAN LEADER IS
DRIVING FAR AHEAD
BERLIN, Dec. 29.—The German
leader. General von Mackenzen, is
continuing his thrust along the
Sereth river and the Russians are
retiring now in disorder.
The Teuton right wing is drawing
close to Braila, reports tho general
staff.
LONDON, Dec. 29.—Expert esti
mates of the Teuton grain captures
in Rumania show that they have
been unimportant and far from ex
pectations, most having been re
moved. For that reason more than
ever it is believed that the Teutons
will make a frantic effort to reach
Odessa to relieve the Teuton grain
shortage. It is anticipated that the
Russians will have to make a last
stand to prevent the consummation
of these plans, The formidable plan
of flanking the Russians is not be*
lieved to be possible in this war.
LONDON, Dec. 29.—Saloniki re
ports that King Consftantine has
ordered the Greek division which
surrendered at Kavala to Bulgars
and Germans and which has since
been Interned at Moerlit, Germany,
to leave their Internment for Mace
donia where they must engage in
lighting against the Entente.
LONDON, Dec. 29.—The Entente
officials had an interview with the
Greek government, and the latter
was informed that if any Greek
troops were found massed against
the Allies in Macedonia, they would
be held to strict accountability.

capitals under similar conditions.
PARIS, Dec. 29.—The draft of
the reply of the Entente Powers to

nation.
The contents of the reply, it is ad
mitted, lias been already in sub
stance been divined by the press ot

rejected for being too indefinite
i upon which to base a conference

action in regard to supplementing

same course as Argentina.

It is reported that they are even
now devising ways and means of
bringing him to book, to compel
him to keep quiet.
BOSTON, Dec. 29.—Lawson is
openly jeering at those congressmen
who are trying to keep him quiet
and who persist in uttering threats
against him for his efforts to make
public the alleged leak in the secrets
of state.
Lawson says that he is not afraid
of any action which Congress may
take. As far as Henry’s telegram
to him is concerned he believed that
it was up to Congress to clear the
administration, not for him.
Lawson says that he is not a
complainant. He simply made pub
lic what every broker knows to be
a fact and it is for Congresa to in
vestigate just why it is a fact.

Villa left for
ANOTHER RICH CITY
PASO, Dec. 29.—It is stated
by Carranza officials that Villa eva
cuated Torreon after extracting one
hundred thousand pesos from the ci
tizens of the city. He then marched
to Satillo where the garrison dyna
mited the town and evacuated it be
fore his approach.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 29.—
Very skilfully worded is all the in
formation that is given the public
relative to the Carranza note. The
note is not a point blank refusal to
sign the protocol but makes the
signature conditional upon certain
eventualities which make the posi
tion of the American commissioners
very difficult indeed. Lane is re
ported to be for breaking off all
negotiations but is deferring to the
administration view which so far
has not been decided on.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2D.—All the
Mexican commissioners are at Wash
ington D. C., where their fate as far
as continuing the negotiations will
soon be decided.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 29.—The
government contends that Ylila is
still the same old bandit. He is
warily avoiding any strong force of
the Carranza government while he
raids towns and cities of which he
has information are not adequately
protected. He has so many spies in
every city that he does not find it
hard to obtain information on this
hqpd. Obregon is devising a for
midable plan for finally crushing
the bandit chief.
It is likely that if the operations
are on a large scale Obregon him
seif may take command.

GERMANS AND FRENCH
SEND OPPOSITE STORIES
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—Both Pa
ris and Berlin send out directly con
tradictory reports of the fighting at
Deadman’s H}11 that makes it im
possible to discover which is correct.
Both reports, so entirely different,
are official too.
BERLIN, Via Sayville, Dec. 29.—
The French first, second and third
line of trenches were penetrated
near the famous Deadman Hill when
two hundred and thirty prisoners
were taken in a sudden onslaught
by the Germans. The Germans trans
ferred from the Somme massed in
considerable numbers during the
night before these positions and by
the morning light initiated the first
and successful attack. Notwith
standing the most furious counters
the Germans hold all their gains.
PARIS, Dec. 29.—It is officially
announced by General Petain that
the German attacks upon the French
positions near Deadman were broken
by the French defensive works. The
Germans only gained one southerly
trench from which they were later
in the day pusted by French count
ers. A furious artillery fire is now
raging in the vicinity.
BERLIN, Dec. 29.—It is practicat
ly certain that today’s victorious at
tack in the vicinity of Deadman,
marks the winter renewal of the
battle of Verdun which will continue ’
until the French positions are all
conquered.
SHIPPING MEN UNEASY
OVER BOATS OVERDUE
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—The dis
appearance of the French Liner Vol
taire which is now said to be over a
week over due is causing much con
cern. Especially taken in conjunc
tion with the over due freighters
Georges, Bellerophon, Belgrave,
Bayreuil and the Belgian steamer
Baron Baerinz which have been un
reported by any more recent arrivals
is it convincing shipping circles that
German raiders of the Moewe type
are at work in Mid-Atlantic.

While the weather has been terri
fic and the storms of unprecedented
violence, as all the above mentioned
vessels with one exception were fine
modern seaworthy boats, the only
explanation is that they were sunk
by enemy raiders.
In consequence of this posting of
so many ships overdue, insurance
rates have taken another leap for
ward and are tending to still further
increase.
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—Although
the most conservative shipping
agents are satisfied that many ships
have been sunk by mid-Atlantic
raiders, there has been no delay
upon the part of the Entente ships
sailing from here. Four munition
and supply steamers left here today
for Europe all heavily laden with
what are equivalent to war supplies.
It is believed that they will fall vic
tims to the German raiders.
LONDON, Dec. 29.—Great con
cern is felt for the safety of Allied
shipping on the Atlantic, especially
as so many are overdue.
