IQG CITY COUNCIL. l6Gl InaJ dS IllS
committee has been working in this
matter it would be proper that the
benefit of your information and sug-
gestions be given to it."
The letter of the wemen's commit
tee to the mayor backs up some of
the worst charges of police violence
that have been made. The letter
reads:
'rIn the hearing before the alder
manic committee it was proved by
production of the pay envelopes that
some girls are paid from to cents
an hour and others get from $3.50 to
81 for weeks work.
at has been shown that, in spite
of the fact that Chief Healey's orders
to the police were to avoid all unne-
cessary violence, one girl was beaten
so severely that her breastbone was
fractured; others have been hit on
the head and body so that they, car
ried the marks for days. Still other
strikers have been seriously injured
by private detectives in the employ
of manufacturers in the presence of
the police without interference on
the part of the latter. The afidavits
as to these instances have been pre-
scented to the city council and are a
matter of record. The trials are call
ed for next week.
"The strikers have repeatedly stat
ed through their agent, Mr.. Hillman,
that they will go back to work and
submit their demands to arbitration
the moment the manufacturers agree
to do so. The manufacturers, on the
other hand, have not only refused to
make any statement of their position
to members of this committee, but
have even refused to appear before
the committee of aldermen appointed
by the city council to investigate the
strike, merely sending representa-
tive to say that, as they could not

earnestly urge you to take whatever
steps may be possible to settle the
present one, ard, by signing the
council order to Chief Healey, by
offering yourself as an arbitrator, or
by any other means that may seem to
you advisable, prevent our relapsing
into the old evil days of labor wars,
days which we had hoped after your
success in handling the great strikes
of early summer, were gone forever"

Auten of Little Rock, president Iof the Arkansas organization for river improvement, summed the sit uation after Mr. Baer had made his talk, and compimented the govern ment on the Alaskan railway, built where there was practically no com merce, but for the future and for the development of country. He said that the government could do as much for Arkansas, and that it would be cheapest to fix the river permanently while the work was on.
 The Army engineers left Little Rock Tuesday night to look over other pro- jects, taking with them a high pile of data in which the government is asked to expend S10,000,000 on the Arkansas river.
 Pine Bluff was represented at the meeting by W. M. Taylor, Buck Bloom V. M. Harrison, c. E. Philpot, and N. J. Gannt. Fort Smith was represent ed by George Sengal, Mayor Henry Read, and c. D. Mowen. T. N. King, Adolph Felsenthal and H. B. Solomson represented Camden, but took no part in the discussion. E. D. Bevitt, traffic manager of the Muskogee Chamber of Commerce, was also present.
 The meetings were held in Moose hall, after the attendance had forced an adjournment from the Chamber of Commerce parlors below. Many pro- minent shippers of Little Rock were also in attendance, and all seemed en- thusiastic over the showing made be- fore the commission.

REPORT E RECEIVED
 BY DEPARTMENT
United States Will Await An- swer to Questions Submitted Through the American Dip l0matic Office.

Washington, Nov. 17.-American Ambassador Penfeld today cabled the state department an official statement, concerning the sinking of the Italian steamer, Ancona. which had been handed him by the Austrian foreign office apparently before he re- ceived the departments instructions to seek the Vienna version of the tra- gedy.
 The text of the communication vir- tually is identical with that given out in Vienna by the Austrian admiralty and sent to this country by wireless from Berlin. It says that the Ancona fled at full speed when a warning shot was fired across her bows and it denies the allegation of the Italian govern ment that the steamer was shelled af ter she had come to standstill, and that other shots were fired at life boats and persons swimming in the sea.
 After the receipt of the report, it became known that Secretary Lan- sing considered that the state de- partment now has sufficient official information to form the basis of an inquiry of Austria Hungary, regard ing it's conduct of submarine warfare.
 The secretary indicated, however, that no communication would go for ward until reply had been made to questions submitted by Ambassador Penfield. It is presumed that the ca blegram, directing the ambassador to ask for specific and detailed informa- .tion, crossed in transmission the dis patch received today.
