Fierce Battle Raging Along Ten
Mile Front West of

ITALIAN FORCES PRESS ON

Austrians Blow Up Own Fort

Italians.
BY the United Press.

ROME. June 12.-Three Italian
armies are closing in upon Goritz,
capital of the Austrian province of
that name, and fierce battle is now
raging west of the city upon a ten
mile front
The city is being shelled by Italian
batteries stationed north OF Mossa.
The Austrians are replying from a
hill directly north of the town and
from strongly fortified positions at
the bridgehead of the Isonzo.
Bersaglieri forces which occupied
Gradisca are pressing north and are
attempting to cross the river near
Rubbia and attack Goritz on the
flank. The enemy has mounted small
pieces on fiat cars and is rushing
them up and down the railway on the
east bank of the Isonzo, sweeping the
west bank with a hot fire.
Six miles northwest of Goritz an
other italian force is attempting to
cross the river and descend upon the
city from the north, Enemy guns on
Monte Sano are shrapneling the
Italian forces and shelling their pom
toons. The battle around PLAYA has
continued for several days, with the
Austrians stubbornly resisting.
Stlil Bombarding Tolmino.
The bomhardment of Tolmino con-
tinues without interruption. Several
of the outer works have been badly
damaged by Italian shells, but the
dominating position of the enemy's
guns has prevented any near ap-
proach by italian infantry.
The Bersaglieri and Alpini in the
Tolmino region have been busy clear
ing the surrounding peaks of small
bodies of enemy sharpshooters who
sniped at infantry forces moving
through the passes. In some in
stances the Austrians have rendered
their positions on the mountain sum
mits impregnabe by blocking the
paths with huge rocks. In these
cases the Alpinists have surrounded
the peaks with small squads of men
and are attempting to starve out the
snipers.

TRADES COUNCIL
MOLL|F led BY
MAYORS VIEW
Municipal Committee Reports
Executive Explained About
Firemen Doing Work.

The report of Delegate Lohse to
Essex Trades Council at the weekly
meeting last night, concerning tho
visit of the municipal committee to
Mayor Raymond to protest against
firemen doing their own repair work
was one of the chief topics of in
terest and occasioned much discus
sion.
Another matter that provoked ap-
plause from the gathering was the
declaration by Abraham Stiglitz that,
organized Hebrew Trades Council
has been dissolved.
Delegate Lohse reported that he,
with the members of the municipal
committee, had visited Mayor Ray
mond to protest against the firemen
doing their own repair work. Lohse
said that the mayor had declared
that he had been misquoted, and that
he had merely made a suggestion
that ii would be good idea.
"He said" declared Lohse. that
he was i'm favor of maintenance
department composed of tradesmen of
this city to make the necessary re-
pairs at the regular union scale of
wages; that he did not intend to cross
organized labor on any question that
was fair and | suggest that we CO.
operate with him to the extreme"
An Opportunity Lost.
Delegate Hugh Reilly, of the ma
chinist's union, who was a candidate
for mayor on the Socialist ticket, de-
clared that while he was satisfied
with the report of the municipal
committee. the committee had lost
a good opportunity in not calling tho
attention of the mayor to the fact
that there are firemen who work in
the Prospect street repair shops as
machinist for eight hours a day.
Mr. Reilly also declared that lie
knew of fireman who had been
allowed two days leave lately to
paint a flagpole in Military Park, for
which he received lump sum.

Resume Work
of Filling in
Market Hole

Work on filling the much discussed
Centre Market hole has been re-
sumed. The order to renew activities
is believed to have been given by
Market Clerk Thomas A. Boyle, al
though the LATTER could not be located
today to confirm this statement.
Alderman John F. Fitzsimmons,
Chairman of the market committee
of the Common Council, expressed
surprise when informed that filling
the excavation had been restarted.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons said he would get
in communication with Mr.. Boyle as
soon as possible and request that the
filling-in work be brought to a halt
The alderman said he might call a
special meeting of the committee on
Monday or Tuesday to consider the
matter.
On Thursday several loads of dirt
We're dumped into the enclosure, and
today the trucks of J. S. Geiger e
Sons we're augmented by six trucks
owned by Alexander ]. Milmoe. The
filling-in process went along at a
merry clip, and the hole was more
than one-third filled when the
truckers stopped work for today.
Market Cierk boyle created quite a
stir several weeks ago when he or
dered a contractor to fill the hole
after the market committee of the
Common Council had voted to lay
the matter over. The market clerk
declared at that time that he would
fill the hole himself and that if the
committee did not like it they could
get new market clerk. After the
dumping had continued about a
week. however, ii was suddenly
stopped. and it is generally thought
that Boyle had decided to abide by
the wishes of the committee and had
called the work off.
The news that the task OF filling the
excavation had been resumed came
as a surprise to the aldermen and
others interested in the proposition.

Mr.. Lippincott told him there were

BENEFIT OF SUFFERERS

taken Tanlac and say that they found
relief from their troubles. l.. NJ.
OrmSbee, a retired farmer who re-
sides at GA Golden street this city,
had this to say regarding what Tanlac
did in his case:
II have suffered from catarrh for
the past several years. 1 had a con-
tinuous dropping of mucous from my
head to my throat, and would have
spells of coughing that weakened me
in every way. My general health was
fast becoming broken, and 1 had a
rundown feeling that caused me to
feel tired and worn out most of the
time.
II had tried many medicines but
nothing seemed to help me. Recently
/ purchased two bottles of Tanlac, and
the Improvement in my condition after
taking these two bottles was most
gratifying to me. My system seems to
have been regulated by Tanlac, and
my catarrhal troubles have been great
ly relieved. 1 feel that others should
know what Tanlac did for me. and for
that reason 1 am making this state
ment. Tanlac did for me what no
other medicine did. and 1 recommend
it to my friends"
