BUSINESS MEN TO APPEAL TO SAM COMPERS
Second Conference Is
In Progress On
NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—The city
laces now a general walk out of or
ganized labor. There seems little
hope for a peaceful settlement.
A second conference is being held
this evening of business men with
Mitchell and Strauss. The traetion
ist interests are still putting up a
bold front and trying to make the
best of a bad situation with their
entire system demoralized and the
jitneys grabbing the nickles.
Traffic is practically at a stand
still with little or no attempt being
made to run cars on schedule. The
strike breakers are practically per
mitted to take the most of the fares,
and all routes which do not furnish
good enough picking for the “finks”
who run the cars, are abandoned.
Many of the strike breaking carmen
switch from one route to another
without orders if the turn-over is
sufficiently attractive. Some have
abandoned cars in the street because
of there being too few passengers
to make money on. This condition
has to be tolerated while the strike
lasts.
A general walk out looms now be
fore the city. Business men are
figuring on making a final appeal to
Gompers to avert this catastrophe
to their interests, Gompers being in
the city today to attend the funeral
of Seth Low who was his personal
friend and fellow official of the
Civic Federation.
BOTH SIDES CLAIM
VICTORY IN DOBRUDSCHA
BUCHAREST, Sept. 20, —The
Rumanians have at length been vic
torious over the main Bulgarian,
German and Turkish forces fighting
in Dobrudscha and the success ot
the German drive is past. However
fierce fighting continues in this re
gion, the Central Powers desperate
ly resisting the Rumanian counter
attacks.
LONDON, Sept. 20.—Fighting is
now taking place on a huge scale
on the eastern front, with both sides
sending out reports of victory at
every point. Mackenzen is concen
trating great armies in Dobrudscha
with a view of campaigning along
the Black Sea litoral into Russia,
having reached the Danube to turn
into Rumania proper and conquer
that territory. The Teutons claim
victory in that province today, but
the reports do not tally with the
scene of their fighting, unless they
withdrew far behind their original
furthest point of advance.
SALONIKI, Sept. 20.—The Allies
are unquestionably merely demon
strating in force until the action of
Greece is finally determined. It is
reported that the British and
French have practically ceased any
further attempts to attack Bulgaria
in Bulgar tserritory, until Greece
takes a stand one way or another.

REPORTED CHIHUAHUA IS
TAKEN RY VILLATISTAS
EL PASO, Sppt. 20.—A wire from
a telegraph station close to Chihua
hua says today shortly that shots
have been heard in the direction ot
the city and a renewal of the Villa
attack is feared.
Refugees arriving here today
have a somewhat different story to
tell of the fighting when Villa first
attacked Chihuahua. They toll in
Juarez that the failure of Trevino
to defend the city against Villa
shows that the man is either a

positively deny the story. General

WILL INSIST OBEYING LAW
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Because
of numerous acidents owing to the
lack of experience of their strike
breaking motormen, city officials
have directed the attention of the
traction company to the laws per
mitting only experienced men to
drive the cats.
It is pointed out that the company
is not only leaving itself li&ble to
civil suits for large damages, but
to be prosecuted as well.
Unionists are inquiring why the
company if it is breaking the law Is
not prosecuted, and are asking how
long the unions would be permitted
to break the law with Impunity.

Slavs Break Teuton
Defensive At Halitz
PKTROGRAD, Sept. 20.—The Rus
sians have again broken down the
barrier of men and guns which,von
Bothmer erected against their ad
vance upon Halicz, driving the ene
my before them and again plant
ing their guns for another bombard
ment of the city. Two thousand pri
soners were taken when the Teuton
troops withdrew to Halicz. Halicz
is being levelled by the Russian fire
according to evening reports.
PKTROGRAD, Sept. 20.—The Rus
sians again renewed their Carpa
thian and Galician offensive where
they are now pushing ahead with
great success. Lichitsky has suc
cessfully ousted the Hungarian
troops which have been endeavoring
to keep the Russians from smashing
through the Carpathian passes. The
results of the eastern offensive are
very pleasing to the Grand Head
quarters.
BERLIN, Sept. 20.—An official
dispatch says that Brussiloff has
been defeated north and south of
Kovel with both wings badly shat
tered and is retiring. This with
drawal will compel the Russians in
Galicia to again resume the defen
sive. The General Staff admits mi
nor gains by the enemy in Galicia,
but only of an unimportant and
purely temporary nature of no value
whatever.
The Slav losses were large.

GREECE SENDS FINAL
DEMAND TO TEUTONS
ATHENS, Sept. 20.—After a con
sultation with King Constantine
which took up practically all the
night and most of the forenoon and
after which the cabinet retired to
deliberate among themselves, the
Greek cabinet through the Foreign
Minister sent an ultimatum to Ger
many demanding the release of the
Greek soldiers made prisoners at
Kavala by the Bulgars and the eva
cuation of that site, and a recogni
tion of the neutral Greek boundary
lines.
BERLIN, Sept. 20.—The attitude
of the Greek government is merely
that which is compelled upon them
to assume by reason of the Entente
pressure. The Greek soldier prison
ers were taken by the Bulgarians
and Germans at their own request,
says a Staats Zeitung special. The
garrison consisted of twenty thou
sand men, practically destitute and
they had requested the Germans and
Bulgars to come and give them
food, formally announcing their
willingness to surrender their arms.
The Bulgars took the Greeks at.
their word, and those who declined
to accept the hospitality of the Bul
garians were allowed to go their
way, most of whom left for the is
land of Thasos where many are stilt
encamped. The ultimatum for this
reason is ridiculously unjust, but
the Germans do not hold Greece,,
but the Entente powers responsible
for it. The pressure is too great.

PEOPLE RESU
!Ti
OF HOLLWEG’S POLICIES
BERLIN, Sept. 20.—Criticism of
von Bethman Hollweg is again
heard both among the people and in
the press because he met the de
mands of the United States in the
matter of Germany’s submarine po
licy. It is probable that this de
mand will reach the Reichstag to re
sume the submarine warfare, in
which event it may lead to serious
results.
Hindenberg is standing by Holl
weg in the matter and supports the
abandonment of the submarine po
licy. He says that the Germans
can win without it.

PASSES GREAT DIVIDE.
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Seth
Low one time reformist mayor of
New York and one of the many re
formist mayors who left conditions
behind as he found them, passed
over the great divide.
Low was naturally an up-lifter,
like many other graduates to poli
tical life from educational spheres.
He took a prominent part in the
establishment of the National Civic
Federation of which he was one
time President. He has made a
whole lqt of the possibility of bring
ing capital and labor together in
perpetual peace, In which quixotic
movement he was aided by Sam
Gomters. *,
BERLIN, Sept. 20.—The English
and the French losses on the Somme
amount to fully half a million
men.
BERLIN, Sept. 20.—Troops and

numbers than ever to the south and
east.

REPUBLICANS ALARMED.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 19.—
The republicans are fearful that the
democrats will make big capital out
of the work of the Mexican Com
mission. The leaders now say that
the railroad trouble was all a frame
up, concocted for the deliberate pur
pose of letting Wilson make a poli
tical hit.
