WORKERS CLAIM
E
The following communication in re
ference to the sit nation at the dock
was received by the Daily Times Iasi
night from the local longshoremen
with the request that It be published:
We, the longshoremen of Cordova
realizing the disadvantage undei
which we are working and (in special
meeting) have come to the conclusion
that 55 cents per hour is not enough
compensation for our labor; therefore,
we ask for 75 cents per hour from 7
a. rn. to 5 p. m., and $1.00 per hour
from 5 p. in. to 7 a. m.; Sundays and
i holidays to be classed as overtime.
I Also, that we are allowed to use hooks
on the ore. This to include all ware
house and dock workers. A union
delegate will see that there are suffi
cient men to work at all times, if pos
i slide, and any of the men being found
incapable will be replaced by others.
! While looking lo our own welfare we
j will not neglect the interests of our
employers. Hoping we can come to
some agreement to our mutual satis
faction, we remain,

ZURICH. Switzerland, April 12. —
Negotiations between Germany and
Austria-Hungary for a closer political
land economic union are proceeding
I very slowly. Several conferences have
been held in Berlin, Vienna. Budapest.
Dresden. Munich and Prngue. but no
definite results have been attained.
It is not only that these countries
have certain conflicting interests but
there are special obstacles in the way
also. Austria and Hungary have a
common foreign policy and a common
army and navy, but in other respects
are independent states Various mat
ters. anil especially the tariff question.
! have to be arranged from time to time
| by means of what is called the “Aus
I gleich,” or joint agreement. This is
usually made for ten yearti. and the
j present “Atisgleich" expires at the end
j of 1917. It has never been easy to
renew this arrangement each time it
expires, as the Hungarians have al
| ways sought to wring some new poli
tical concessions from Austria. One
powerful party in Hungary even de
mands the introduction of a tariff
barrier between the two halves of the
monarchy, in order to bolster up new
industries. (
To form a lasting commercial union
with Germany, Austria now demands
that the “Ausglelch" shall he made
j for a term of twenty-five years, but
[the Hungarians fear to tie themselves
up with their industrially stronger
partner for so long a time. They argue
that it will keep open the present free ^
customs relations between the two |
countries for too long a time, and
then, too, they will lose the opportun- j
ity of gaining new concessions each ;
decade.
