SWISS MANUFACTURING
INDUSTRIES IDLE FOR LACK
OF COAL OR RAW MATERIAL
(By Associated Press.)

l'asle, Switzerland. Dec. a.
Swiss industries have to grapple
with increased difficulties arising
for the most part from the want Of
raw material and the cessation Of
coal imports from Germany.
In northern and eastern Switzer-
land a number OF works, notably
weaving sheds. are idle in spite of
ample orders. On the other hand the
st. Gall lace industry, the largest
and most important of is kind, is do
ing very well.
Over fifty Swiss manufacturing g
firms receive no coal from Germany
that country having put them on
her black list because Of real or
imaginary delivery of war material
to her enemies II was hoped that
the Swiss Import Trusts operations
would diminish the general anxiety
with which the winter Is looked for
ward to, but people are disappointed
with their progress. though every
thing is being done to put the Trust
on a practical basis In any case 1t
cannot be expected to work on bust
ness lines for several weeks yet and
even then is not likely to overcome
ali C.fficulties.

THE FORD PEACE JITNEY

New York, Dec. 4.-If Mr.. Ford
succeeds in his threat to wish the
monarchs of Europe a merry Christ
mas by hauling their embattled le-
gions from the trenches and send
inc them all home, with strict in
structions never to come back, he
will do so with the aid of such dis
tin guished men as Theodore Roose-
welt, Thomas Edison and William ].
Bryan, in addition to a number of
governors of various States. Perhaps
the most prominent member Of the
party for which he has engaged a
steamer to sail today is Congress
man Richard Bartholdt. who is
known the world over for his advo-
cacy Of peace. The peace conference,
1t is intended, shall be held at one Of
the European capitals. The Oscar ii
of the Scandinavian line has been
engaged for the trip and all persons
taking it will be brought back safe
ly to their native shores. The jun
ket is said to represent an outlay
of something like $4,000, but Mr..
Ford in his efforts has the support
of the entire International Commit
tee OF Women for Permanent Peace.

SHORTAGE OF MEN IN
LABOR MARKET INCREASES
DEMAND FOR OPPOSITE SEX

London, Dec. 4. 4.-Owing to active
recruiting, the shortage of men in
the labor market has become more
acute and has greatly increased the.
demand for women and young girls
as substitutes. Practically everyone
capable of working, says the Board
Of Trade Labor Gazette, has an op-
portunity of being employed, and it
is evident that still larger numbers
of women and girl; not previously
employed in trade and industry are
required in many occupations.
Compared with October, 1914,
there was general improvement,
especially marked in industries en-
gagged in supplying the requirements
of the forces.
War bonuses and increases in
wages taking effect in October affect
ing 10000 work people amounted
to about $4,000 week.
There is a general scarcity of col
liery workers, farm hands and ma
yies, and the demand for work peo-
pie is still greatly in excess of the
supply. in. engineering. and ship
building trades. Shortages are re-
ported in the glass, chemical, build
ing and metal trades, and with re-
gard to women, the demand for tex
tile workers is still unsatisfed.

RECORD PRICES FOR INDIGO

london, Dec. 4.-The absence of
the usual supplies Of German syn
thetic indigo from tie leading mar
kets of the world has led to an eager
demand for the natural product and
record prices are being paid for the
small quantities of this indispensa-
BILE blue dye which comes from In
dia. India is the principal produc-
ing country but the expanding de-
maBd for indigo has led to a revival
of the industry in China where in
terest sting developments are expected.
An estimate from the Punjab dis
trict of India states that the area
unde: indigo represents over IA per
cent of the total area planted in
British India, but the condition of
the standing crops is said to be be-
low average, and the yield from all
standing crops will probably be
small.

Do NOT FEAR
INVASION
ALLIES HAVE BEEN GRANTED
CONTROL OF RAILROADS IN
MACEDONIA; 1900 SERBIANS
CAPTURED
(By Associated Press. J

London, Dec. 4.-The Russian
diversian AGAINST Bulgaria, rumored
to be under way, has not material
lied. The fact that no Russian Of
fetal statement was issued last
night, however, causes hope here
that it is being withheld, in order
to chronicle this new phase of the
Balkan campaign.
Reports have reached here from
Bucharest that three Bulgarian di-
visions had crossed Hungary en-
route to the Italian western front.
IL true this seems to indicate that
Bulgaria does not fear Russian in
vasicn. The reports of such shift of
Bulgarian forces are vague as is the
report that Teutonic troops have
been rushed eastward to face the
Russians.
Dispatches from several sources
assert that both the northern and
southern Serbian armies had been
safely established in Albania. OPP
timistic feeling Is hardly justified,
however, except on the theory that
the Russian attack on Bulgaria will
quickly develop, while the entente
negotiations with Greece seem to be
progressing favorahly.
German sources report that
Greece had granted the allies con-
troll of railroads in Macedonia, to-
gether with certain Aegean sea
ports.
