dlation Agent Brings About an
Understanding.

Chicago, Dec. 18.-The strike on the
Belt Line Railway company, which

After an interchange of negotia-
tions between officials Of the road and

ciliation, who acted as arbiter, an
nounced that an agreement had been
reached and the men would proceed to
work Immediately.
The following statement was made
by c. G. Austin, counsel for the Belt
Line railroad, and contains the terms
OF settlement:
The original demands of the en-
ployees was that hourly service of
trains each day be established be-
tween Seventy-tifth and Halsted
streets and the Clearing yards. The
officials of the road have always been
willing and ready to establish a limit
=
ed service morning and evening for
such reasonable time as was neces-
sary for the men to adapt themselves
to the change of the terminal from
Eighty-third street and Vincennes road
to Clearing.
Through the services of United
States Commissioner of Mediation and
n M
agreement has been made with the
employees whereby they have acceded
to the wishes of the railroad CON-

Forces at Suvia and Anzac Districts
Have Been Transferred, Says an Of
fetal Statement From London-May
Aid Allies at Sa:oniki.


London. Dec. 22.-All British troops
at the Suvla and Anzac districts of
Gallipoli peninsula have been with
drawn
The following official statement re-
garding this step was issued here on
Monday:
"All the troops at Suvla and An
stores, have been successfully trans
ferred, with insignificant casualties.
to another sphere of operations"
Operations in sectors of the front at
Gallipoli other than those from which
troops have been withdrawn are to be
continued, it is intimated in another
official statement. The withdrawal
was effected without knowledge of the
movement on the part of the Turks.
1t is declared.
Further details of the evacuation
of the Anzac and Suvla zones have
been received" says the official state
ment. Without the Turks being
aware of the movement, great army
has been withdrawn from one of the
areas occupied in the closest of con-
tact with the enemy. BY this contrac-
ton of the front operations at other
points of the line will be more effec-
lively carried out
Sir Charles Monro gives great cred
it for this skillfully conducted transfer
of forces to the generals commanding
and the royal navy"
The war office statement leaves the
public to draw it's own conclusions as
to the destination of these Australia
sian and United Kingdom forces.
which must be well over 100000
strong, but it is widely conjectured
that any southwark sweep of the Teu-
tonic or Bulgarian armies in the Bal
kans, whether from the north, west
or east, will sooner or later come in
contact with them.
In giving the house of commons in
formation of the withdrawal. as an
nounced by the war Office, Premier AS
Quith added that the transfer was
made in pursuance of a decision
reached by the cabinet some time ago.
'The operation so successfully car
ried out" said the premier, reflects
the utmost credit upon the general
on the spot, upon the admiral, the
staff and all ranks of both the army
and the navy
The Suyla bay and Anzac cove po-
sitions are on the north coast of Gal
lipoli peninsula. Anzac cove is about
sixteen miles from the tip. Suyla bay
is five miles farther on.
Some of the bitterest fighting Of the
Dardanelles campaign has taken place
at these positions.
The Amaze region, which takes its
name from the initials of the Austria
liam and New Zealand army corps. has
been the scene of furious attempts Of
the invaders to thrust back the Turks.
Here, as at Suvla bay, the allies have
been able to achieve no striking sue
cesses.
The loss of life at both these posi-
lions has been very heavy.

WAR TAX BILL PASSES
MEASURE ADOPTED BY SENATE
BY VOTE OF As to 90.
Fight Made on Provision by Senator
Smoot and Other Republic
can Leaders.

: Washington, Dec. 20.-The admins
tration's first revenue bill, extending
the emergency war tax for one year,
was passed by the senate on Friday
by a vote of As to rs. The measure
was signed by the president.
Mr. Smoot of Utah, Republican
member of the senate finance commit
tee, moved to limit the time extension
of the war taxes to June 80, 1916.
This amendment was rejected 25 to so,
by party vote, except that five Re-
publicans-Mr Clapp Of Minnesota.
Mr.. Curtis of Kansas, Mr. Harding Of
Ohio. Mr.. James of Washington and
Mr. Kenyon of Iowa refused to seem
to support even that extension and
voted against it.
Mr. Underwood's maiden speech
was a great personal triumph. He
has not been assigned to the finance
committee, which has particular jur-
isdiction over all fiscal matters, but
his experience in the house has made
him the recognized Democratic au-
thority on finance.
Mr.. Underwood by three quiet ques-
tions induced Senator Penrose to adj
NIT that the Republicans did not
want protection to exclude foreign
competition; that foreign imports un-
der the Democratic tariff had not
therefore injured the industries OF
the country and that the country with
the Underwood act still in force was
now highly prosperous.

Wonderful Mineral That May Be Spun

Wonderful Mineral That May Be Spun
and Woven Into Cloth.
Asbestos is one of the great surprises
in the mineral kingdom. On account
of it's finely tibrOus. flexible, incom-
bustible character it is spun into yarn
and woven into cloth for the clothing
of 6remen and foundry men who are
exposed to heat that would burn Or
Einary clothing. 1t is extensively used
for theater curtains and has saved
many audiences from the horrors Of
.cOntiagration.
A notable event of the year 1913 in
the asbestos industry OF the United
States has been the opening of new
locality in Arizona. about thirty miles
northeast of Globe. for the high grade
chrysotile such as occurs in the depths
Of the Grand canyon. In occurrence,
origin. quality and quantity this de-
posit is essentially the same as that
of the Grand canyon district, but is
is much more accessible. being In
canyon about 800 feet deep and within
thirty miles by trail and wagon road
from the railway. 1t is associated with
limestone and in this respect is strong.
~ contrasted with the asbestos OF
Canada. which Is found in serpentine
rock. derived from peridotite.
The remarka bic fiber from Arizona
when twisted to yarn O.O3 of an inch
In thickness will support an average
weight of fifteen and one-haIf pounds.
Its content of iron is decidedly lower
than that of the Canadian fiber. and
for that reason it is better for insulat-
ing purposes.-United State Geological
