FOUNDRY HEADS READY TO MAKE MEN 0VERTURES Parsons Co. Seeks Return of Strikers and Calls Meet
 ing for Tonight. c. E. ELTON WILL
 DELIVER ADDRESS Workers Holding Out For Living Wage See Success
 In Concession.

In the effort to get back the strikers who left the shops several months ago asking more wages, the Parsons Foun. dry Co. has called meeting of its em- ployes and strikers for tonight in St. Johns hall.
 c. E. Bilton, head of the company. probably will address the men, who have promised they will attend.
 The men have been counseled to give respectful attention to whom ever addresses them, but from the at- titude of the foundry officials, as ex- pressed to P. F. Duffy, who is leading the strike, it is scarcely expected the desired raise in pay viii be granted tonight.
 The fact that overtures are now be- ing made by the company, convinces the men that their strike has been successful so far. Labor leaders re- port that few non-union men have taken jobs with the companies affected by the foundry strikes.

question of peace. Rumania was the entente's last card and is proving a losing one. We are massing a big army against the Rumanians and I think that the end will come short 1y.
 or course, our progress on the Transylvanian front is bit slow, ow- ing to the great difficulties of the country and particularly to the de- f1cfency in rear-ward communications. These communications are far poorer than in the west or even in Galicia and Russia. However, the entry of Rumania into the war has in many respects been greatly advantageous to us"
 To illustrate what he regards as the Improving chances for peace nego- t1auons, Count Apponyi referred to recent speeches of statesmen il, the opposing camps.

TWO, GUNMEN IN EAST SIDE STORE
 ARE FRUSTRATED
Woman's Customers Arriv- al Just in Time to Pre-
 vent Looting of Register.

The bold attempt of two highway men to rob Barnet Gross, in his gro- cery store, $50 Beach street, at the point of a gun was frustrated last evening at 8:30 by the timely appear ance of woman customer, whose ap- proach caused the hold-up men to flee.
 At about five minutes of eight a man of giant physical proportions en- tered Cross store and asked for a can of salmon. The dealer, reached for the can on a shelf back of the cash register, turning back to the supposed customer, to find gun thrust into his mouth.
 Give us your none,- and be quick about it." demanded the robber.
 "I have no money" replied Gross, "but I'll give you a check
 ---' - Don't pull any of that stuff on me- angrily asserted the gunman. Put your hands up here on this counter Cross trembling, did as he was requested.
 The robber then turned his head to the door and yelled to an accom- plice who stood watching on the side walk, Hey! Come in and take this cash register"
 The lookout. however warned his pal that a woman was approaching, and the gunman started to run from the store, Gross vaulting thee ounter and in pursuit. Gun in hand, the robber stopped in the door and turn ed on Gross. Waving the revolver in the groceryman's face he told him if you make a move outside this store. I'll croak you in your tracks,"
 Gross discreetly took him at his word and stayed stifl. Both men ran down Beach street and fled north in Kossuth street, making good their escape.

FREAK DANCES DANCED TO DEATH

Have the sensuous twists of the
latest dances lost their grip on Rich
mond? Have the young people recov-
cred from their first mad fascination
for the steps which last year drew
dance-dippy crowds to local dance
halls almost every night in the week?
These are questions for which dance
fans are seeking a solution.
Yes" is an answer which applies very
we'll to both when supplemented with
this complaint that they pair off in
couples and then won't attend any
more dances"

Fewer dances have been held by
individuals and clubs this winter than
