MAYOR OFFERS
PLAN TO CLOSE
MOLDERS FIGHT
Robbins Suggests Appoint
ment of Three Persons to
Serve as Arbitration Com
mittee.

Mayor Robbins announced today that
he would undertake to effect a settle
ment between the management of the
Reliance Foundry company and strik-
ing moulders formerly employed by
that concern. The men have been on
strike since the middle of last Decem.
Der, and the fonudary has been pick
eted ever since. 800.
81 hope the differences between the
company and the strikers can be arbi-
trated and a satisfactory settlement
be obtained" the mayor said. Il have
already suggested arbitration to the
Reliance management, and tonight I
will attend a meeting of tie moulders'
union, and urge the men now on strike
to approve my plan.
Suggests Arbitration.
81 suggested to the Reliance man
agement that the board of arbitration
include one man appointed by the com.
pany, one man appointed by the strik-
ers, and a third man to be appointed
by the first two men selected.
One of the officers Of the Reliance
company today intimated tht the may.
or's suggestion was not a welcome one.
and that no heed would be paid to it.
Just what attitude the moulders' union
will assume is problematical.
Since the Reliance strike has been
in progress there has been quite a lit
tie disorder, three or four strike break
ers having been quite badly beaten.

CITY TO Spend
ANOTHER $1,000
ON LIGHT CASE

About a month ago council appropri-
ated $1,000 for employing an engineer
to prepare an inventory of the munich
pal electric plant and for the expen-
ses incidental to preparation for the
electric rate hearing case before the
state public utilities commission.
Although at that time it was declar-
ed that this amount would be suffici-
ent to defray all such expenses coun-
Gil was somewhat surprised last night
when another ordinance, providing for
the appropriation of a second $1,000
for the same purpose, was introduced.
However, council passed the meas.
ure under suspension of the rules
without asking City Attorney Bond or
Superintendent Kleinknecht for any
explanation. Nor was any explanation
to council volunteered.
Protests About Results.
Pretty expensive when you don't
get any results" meekly remarked
Mr.. Williams. the only comment made
by any of the councilmen.
It is stated that all that remains of
the original $1,000 is $2035.
It is known that the request for the
second $1,000 appropriation did not or
iginate with the committee of citizens
recently appointed by Mayor Robbins,
who declared that this body would
have complete control over all details
connected with the preparation and
presentation of the city's case in the
rate making hearing. This committee
has had one organization meeting to
date.

Attorneys Clash.
Yesterday afternoon and all today
the city court room was filled to ca

clashes between Prosecutor Keller and

his client as an "arrant coward" In

CITY May FIX
BREAD WEIGHT
BY ORDINANCE
Proposed Measure May Boost
Price of Ordinary 5 Cent
Loaf to 10 Cents to Consul
mer. Z. :. I. e.. ~.

II two ordinances given first reading
in council last night are passed Rich.
mond Will be motor-noise> proof oity,
and there will be no more Sunday af.
ternoon joy rides In Glen park, under
the provisions Of one of them; under
the provisions of the other bakers will
be required to produce standard
weight loaves of bread, which If flour
continues to remain at it's present fig.
ure, may cause general charge of 6
or cents for loaf which would re-
tail for five cents with a normal flour
market.
The motor ordinance prohibits any
abnormal noises by automobiles and
motorcycles, this being aimed princi.
pally at the discordant "open muffler''
racket; it also provides that DINNERS
shall be placed on the headlights of
all automobiles and motorcycles, to be
used when machines are operated with
in the city limits; the prohibition of
the use of skid-chains on machines op-
Grated in Glen park, and prohibition
of the use Of Glen roads by motor vehi-
cles on Sunday afternoons between
the hours of 1 and 6 o'clock, when the
park is generally over run with pedes-
trians.
stipulates Two Sizes.
Section l Of the bread ordinance
provides that all bread shall. be made
into loaves Of two sizes, one large size
and one small size, as follows: Small
loaves of wheat or rye bread, any
brand, to weigh 16 ounces large loaves
Of wheat and rye bread, any brand, to
weigh % ounces; small loaf Of pum-
pernickle to weigh three pounds, and a
large loaf Of pumpernickle to weigh
five pounds. These weights are to per-
tain to newly baked bread when offer
ed for sale. The city sealer of weights
and measures is given full authority
for inspection and seizure of bread not
up to requirements and for each vio-
lation the offending baker may be
fined not less than 81 and not more
than $40
For time this year local bakers
reduced the size of bread loaves from
the standard size, 16 ounces, to 12
ounces to avoid increasing the price.
They said they were forced to do this
to avoid manufacturing at a loss as
the price Of flour had increased over
fifty percent At this time flour still
remains at a very high figure and it is
quite probable that if the bakers are
required to manufacture Is ounce
loaves they will boost the price of
such loaves one or two cents.

Patrolman Alphonse Kutter, who has

RAILROAD APPROPRIATION SOON,
 ..... .'.. REPORT N EARLY NEXT WEEK


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-President Wilson will ask congress for an ap- propriation of money to start the construction of a railroad in Alaska from the coast to the interior. The announcement was made late Satur. day night and is believed to be au- thentic. Just how much money will be asked for is not stated Various estimates have been made, but the opinion generally held is that the president will request the appropria- tion of s5,O00,00O. The work is to be pushed at once because of the de. si1e of the administration to have the use of the coal in Alaska for the navy in case of trouble between this country and foreign power.
 The report of the Alaska Engineer ing Commission, composed of Messrs. Edes, Mears and Riggs, is expected next week, but the president will make his request for the appropria- tion and ureg its mediate passage, because of the lateness of the pres ent session, which is now drawing near it's close and should the asking

While the administration is interested in the economic side of the question and believes that the building of a gov ernment road will not only open for development the large coal and oth- CT mineral deposits of the territory and the certainty that the cheap coal will be of great benefit to the Pacific coast states and the navy, the politi- cal pot hunters see in 1t an oppor- tunity for many fat jobs similar to those which the Republicans had during the building of the Panama canal.

PETROGRAD, Feb. 1.-The battle that will in all probability decide the fate of the Galician-Hungarian cam- paign is now on in the Carpathian region between the pass at Dukla and that at Wyszkow, in the Carpathian mountains. The battle will be one of the greatest in the present war as immense bodies of men are engaged The Russians have been massing troops for weeks and have been gath ering in the scattered units to con- centrate the strength of the empire in a terrific smash at the Austrian German line protecting Hungary. The battle started several days ago with a success for the Russians The Germans have since that time sent large bodies of troops to rein force the line and are prepared to give battle to the advancing Rus- sians.
 Hunoary's Fate In Balance.
 The fate of Hungary is in the bal. ance. The victor of the battle now being fought will determine which nation can occupy the plains of Hun gary, as the battle is being fought on the last natural line for defense that remains to the Austrians. From the Carpathian mountains the level plains give little opportunity for de- fensive work and the Cossacks will sweep Hungary from end to end if successful in the present conflict.
 Russian Victories In East Prussia.
 The war office announces that while the progress has been slow in East Prussia the advance has con- tinued in spite of the entanglements and field trenches and forts built by the enemy to allow for the delaying of the czar's armies. Several minor victories have been reported. The Russian advance in three columns is being made in order to force Gen.

 The admiralty continue to report successes for the Russian Black Sea fleet and Turkish shipping has suf- fered heavily as result of the cap. lures. The two German cruisers Goeben and Breslau are both in dry. dock at the Golden Horn, as they were damaged in the battle of two weeks ago.

German artillery is being used by the Turks and the Sultan's army has been thoroughly Germanized. Russian Stake Tremendous. The Russians have at stake the winnings of the present campaign in Galicia as defeat would force the evacuation of Galicia, one of the rich. est provinces in Europe and an em. pire in itself with large natural re- sources of coal, oil and copper. This province is now in the hands of the czar's soldiers.
 Austria's Last Hope.
 The Austrian empire will be forced to sue for peace if defeated in the present engagement. The Hungarians are now on the verge of demanding an end to the war at the price of Galicia and were only appeased by the concentrating of large forces of troops from the German-Poland frontier in the Carpathian passes. If the battle goes against the com. bined Austro-German forces the Hun garians are expected to force Emper- or Joseph to sue for peace.

ROME, Feb IA mass meeting called by the members of the Sen ate and by prominent men in busi- ness and political life in this country for the purpose of starting a move ment to keep Italy out of the pres. ent European war, was broken up by the mobs which invaded the meet ing and demanded that the govern ment declare war immediately upon Austria and recover the provinces now held by that country, but which are inhabited largely by Italians.
 The meeting had hardly been start. ed before the mobs came from every direction carrying the flags of the French, British and Belgium countries and cheering for the Allies and de- manding war at once. The police and soldiers were immediately sent to the scene and succeeded in dispersing the mobs, using bayonets, and as a re. suit many are in the hospitals now suffering with cuts. The charge of the cavalry into the mob was all that forced them to give ground. but as the horses started to gallop for the crowds they broke and ran and many were hurt in the rush for safety.
 The senators who are in favor of remaining neutral suggested that It. ally and Rumania and possibly Greece make an alliance agreeing to remain
