their occupations in automobiles,

The suburban service of steam rail
roads was improved today and the
carnival spirit of the crowds was eyi-

rode to work,
Elevated trains started at nine
o'clock with detectives, but few
passengers aboard
No attempts we're made to run sur

There was little disorder.
The state board Of arbitration sent
a communication to the officials OF the
street railway company and the men
offering state arbitration.
Two men threw big plank on an
elevated structure from fire escape,
but instead OF wrecking a train, y
struck the last coach and fell on the
tracks.

was the keynote of speeches of Presi-
dent Quinlan OF the union.
All manner OF vehicles were pressed
into service, even roller skates among

tens of thousands walked to their
places of employment The great
thoroughfares through the poorer dis
tricts such as Blue Island avenue,
Archer avenue, Milwaukee avenue and
Clark street in traversing which the
pedestrians may hear spoken most OF
the languages of the world, were
black with people trudging to work.
The school system was thrown into
disorder. Mrs. Ella Flagg Young
superintendent said that 5000 OF the
1000 teachers were affected and
many of them were late today. School
was not dismissed however, and cases
of absence or lateness were not
marked against the pupils record.
An ordinance planned to restrict
the employment of strkebreakers was
adopted by the city council last night
after lengthy session in which sew
eral widely varying plans for settling
the strike were ordered.

been forced out of their position on
the Werezyca river short distance to
the west of Lemberg.

Galician town of Grodek, where it was
predicted the Russians would make
stubborn stand, has fallen before the
Austro-German assault, according to
an Austrian official statement. The
river Tanew, believed to be another
strong barrier. has been crossed; Ko-
marno, only a few miles south of Gro
dek, has been taken, and the Austro-
German forces are within less than
days march of Lemberg, the capital
of Galicia, seventeen miles away. This,
If the success of the Teutons contin-
ues, means the early fall of Lemberg,
These claims were forecast in the
German official statement from Berlin
which preceded that from Vienna.
The Berlin official statement assert
ed that the Grodeii positions were be-
ing attacked, the Russians to the north
retreating as far north as the Tanew
line. The Austrians subsequently re-
corded the fall of Grodek and claimed
that the south bank of the Tanew had
been cleared of Russians
After seven weeks battering across
Galicia. during which the Russians
have been thrown back more than
$50 miles, the Austro-Germans are to-
day as close to Lemberg as were the
Germans to Paris after their first
dash across France last fall.
The British admiralty has an
nounced officially that the German
submarine U-29, which was sunk the
latter part of March, fell victim to
a British warship, the name of which
is not disclosed.
