RUSS REvERSES
ADD STRENGTH
TO GOVERNMENT
Defeat Rallies Responsible EIe.
ments to Support of Minis
try and Stern Discipline
is Made Possible.

Washington, July 27.-The Russian
military reverses have enormously
strengthened the hands of the govern
ment in Petrograd, according to a
dispatch from Ambassador Francis
today to the State department. They
have shown the impossibilty of con.
troll of the army by soldiers commit
tee, the ambassador reports, and have
led to universal demand for stronger
discipline. -
The ambassador reported that the
military crisis at the front has caused
the deepest alarm iii Petrograd, not
only as to a severe military disaster,
but as to the achievements of the
revolution itself. All parties are united,
he said, in urging the government to
use any measures necessary to meet
the situation.
Conservatives Are Helping.
Dispatches to the Russian embassy
confirm this point of view and show
that many conservative leaders who
recently went out of Office are again
coming to the front of affairs. They
include such men as the former presi-
dent of the Duma, Rodzianko; the for
mer minister of instruction, Ignatieff;
Leader Plehkhanoff OF the social
democratic party; Avkhenteff, social
ist, and Admiral Kolchak of the Black
sea feet. This is interpreted to fore
cast more representative and better
experienced government. At the same
time arrests among the Bolsheviki and
the Red Guard are continuing. The
Council of Workmen and Soldiers
Delegates has issued different appeals
to different sections of the commun-
ity citing the danger of the situation
and supporting dictatorial powers to
make the results of the revolution
safe.
All Parties United.
Premier Kerensky's call for ex-
traordlnary national council, an
nounced today from Petrograd, to
meet in Moscow July 81, was also fore
cast in embassy dispatches sent lust
prior to the decision. They stated
that all parties had united in demand
ing an emergency meeting of all lead
ers, including conservatives, profes-
sors and others not now connected |
with the government.
Fears of food riots. which originally
precipitated the crisis in Petrograd |
leading to the revolution, are dis
PEELED, the dispatches add, by reports
of splendid harvests from all over
Russia. At the same time every ef-
fort is being made to improve the
transportation system so that parts OF
the country will not be starving while
others are oversupplied.
The Galician military defeat was
further explained by mutiny in one
grenadier division Of from 10000 to
10000 men, which opened up the front
to the Germans and allowed them to
drive a wedge twenty miles deep,
which neeessitated the retiremnt Of
he whole of General Korniloff's forces
Of 100000 men.

CHICAGO ROADS,
ON STRIKE THREAT,
BAR live STOCK
Nineteen Lines on Which
SwitChmen May Go Out To.
day Send Embargoes on
PeriShabIes and Cattle.

Chicago, July 27.-The nineteen
Chicago railroads that have been
threatened with a strike tomorrow
morning of $500 switchmen belong
ing to the Brotherhood. of Railroad
Trainmen tonight began sending out
notices of an embargo on live stock
and perishable freight to and through
Chicaog. This announcement was
made by Frank Hasler, of the COM
mittee of railroad general managers.
Mr.. Hasler said the embargo would
be for the duration of the strike and
would automatically end with an
agreement.
Appeal for Protection.
The railroads also appealed to
Mayor Thompson, Sheriff Trager and
Chief of Police Schuettler for protec-
ton and arranged with police officials
tor a meeting to discuss means of
preventing violence and protecting
the railroads properties.
George F. Hanover, chairman of
the roads conference committee. sent
a notice to the city officials in which
he said:
The conference committee of man.
ayers of the roads are threatened by
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men with strike Of the yard men
employed in their Chicago terminals
If they do not make concessions
which would establish the closed shop
in favor of members Of their organi-
zation, and deprive the management
of the power to select yard masters
and their assistants.
The railroads are also threatened
with strike of the members of the
switchmen's union employed in their
Chicago terminals if they do not
yield to the demands OF the Brother
hood OF Railroad Trainmen, because
this would close the door of employ
ment against many members of the
switchmen's union.
THE conference committee has
proposed mediation by the federal
and Cancellation board
which has been declined by Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen.'
Deny Closed Shop Motive.
James Murdock, vice president of
the brotherhood, denied that the
switchmen were seeking closed shop
and characterized the reasons given |
put by the railroad managers as caus-
ing the strike as "unqualifedly in
correct" He said 90 per cent Of the |
switchmen had voted in favor of a |
strike because the railroads had re-
used to grant requests made by the
brotherhood.
The new rules sought would give
preference TO members of the broth
,rhood in employing yard men, give
preference to yard men in promotions
o yard masters and prohibit the
companies from reinstating men just
y discharged in disregard of the
lights of other loyal yard men, ac-
:ording to Mrt Murdoch.

UNIONS AGAIN
ASK CHANGE Of
VENUE FOR CASE
Spring Surprise When They
File Additional Affidavits
in Suit Being Heard by
Three Judges.

Additional afidavits submitted by
attorneys for Omaha unions as basis
for a motion for a change of venue i'll
the injunction suit brought by Attor-
ney General Reed against them and
the Business Mems association were
big surprise to three judges-Judges
Leslie, Sears and Redick-sitting in
equity court yesterday.
Judge Leslie overruled a motion
for a change of venue two days ago
and characterized as Shameful"
charges made in affidavits by union
men that he was biased and preiu
diced against organized labor and
favored the "moneyed classes"
He said at that time the "integrity
OF the court had been attacked" and
announced his intention of calling in
two other judges when other phases
OF the injunction suit were heard. An
son Bigelow, chief counsel for the
unions, apologized and withdrew the
inotion4-for a. change of venue. ,
i: - Again Overruled.
ne ATTORNEY for the unions came
back again and offered additional af-
hdavlts, but the motion for change
OF venue was promptly overru1ed by
the three judges.
The trio of judges heard arguments
on demurrer filed by the unions in
the original injunction suit of June
IL. when Attorney General Reed en-
voked the Junkin act and alleged acts
in restraint of trade" against both
the Business Mems association and
the unions.
The legal fight on the demurrer
phase of the injunction suit develop
ed into three cornered one, the
state, the unions and the Business
Mems association, each being repre-
sented by attorneys, none agreeing.
AS soon as the demurrer hearing is
ended attorneys for the EMPLOYERS
expect to present arguments in sup
port OF their cross petition, filed /
separate from the unions side.
No Cause of Action.
Attorney Bigelow declared the Jun-
Kin act as whole does not cover acts
Of labor unions. He attacked the in
junction proceedings on the alleged
grounds it does not state facts sufi-
;ient to constitute cause of action,
improperly joins issues and improper
y joins defendants.
He said labor and skill are not ar
1cles of commerce and therefore
;ould not come under the restraint
If trade" clause.
He likened the injunction proceed
ngs of the attorney general to "at-
empts of authorities to get to- labor
lnlons under the Sherman antitrust
Ict."
Attorney Bigelow said it is now the
opinion of the courts that
he Sherman act does not apply to
abor organizations.
In the three-cornered legal
kirmish before the three Judges,
Attorney Bigelow for the unions was
ssisted by c. N. Owens of Chicago,
ounsel for the International Brick
ayers union.

GUY BECKETT UPSETS DOPE
BY TRIMMING SAM REYNOLDS
IN STATE GOLF TOURNAMENT
Seymour Lake Youth Startles Fans by Beating Trans
Mississippi Champion Up in Nineteen-Hole
Match; Meets John w. Redick of
Country Club for Title Today

Playing the game of his life, Guy
Beckett, youthful Seymour Lake club
crack, upset all the dope on the pa
trlotic golf tournament at the Coun.
try club yesterday by defeating Sam
w. Reynolds. of the Field club, win
ner of the Nebraska state title last
year and Transmississippi champion
this year, in the semi-hnal round by
up on nineteen holes.
Bccketts victory was like a bolt of
lightning out of clear sky. Even
his most faithful supporters and we'll
Wlshers had no hope that Guy could
win over the Field club champ. 1t
completely bowled over the dope
sheet which read for Reynolds to
meet John w. Redick in the final
round. Now it is Beckett who meets
Red1ck today in the final round for
the championship as Redick easily
won his match from Paul Scott of
Council Bluffs, q up and 3 to play.
Beckett played dandy game of
golf. That tells the story of his vic
tory. His long game was good. His
drives had lots of distance and they
sailed fair and true down the fairway.
His approach shots were superb and
he took no extra puts.
Reynolds, on the other hand, did
not exhibit the beautiful game which
generally characterizes his play. His
drives had distance, but they were
not as true as Beckett's. He took
several extra puts, too.
Fans Follow Play.
Quite gallery Of fans followed the
Reynolds-Beckett match around the
course and they were we'll repaid for
their trouble. They saw splendid !
match. For eighteen holes it was nip |
and tuck with the result ever in doubt. |
And when the eighteenth green was
reached, the score was even up and |
another hole had to be played.
Some of the fans expected Beckett, |
because of his youth, to crack under
the strain on the nineteenth hole, but
the Seymour lad merely grinned and
sent his drive sailing down the course.
The hole is stiff one and it must
be played just right. Beckett never
faltered and he captured the hole and
match.
Beckett and Redick play a thirty
six hole match today for the cham
pionship. Eighteen holes will be
played this morning and eighteen this
afternoon.
Swartz and Lieben Win.
M. J. Swartz of the Field club, and
Oscar Lieben of the same club, will
meet today to decide the winner of
the presidents flight. Swartz beat
w. E. Palmeteir of Happy Hollow in
the final round yesterday and Lieben
beat R. S. Shields of Miller park. ;,
G. M. Graham and w. M. Burgess
will clash for the secretary's cham
pionship, while w. c. Fraser and M.
F. Dillon meet for the vice presidents
championship and Frank Russell and
Johnny Madden for the directors
title.
In the consultations. Jimmy Allen of
the Field club won his way into the :
hnalst yesterday by beating Ernes ,
Sweet, / up on twenty holes. He

"LABOR'S PART IN WORLD
 WAR" SUBJECT OF ADDRESS

Little Rock, Dec. 27.-Crawford Vaughan, ex-premier of South Aus tralia, will deliver an address Friday night in Little Rock on the subject of "Labor's Part in the World War" He comes under the auspices of the Coun- cil of National Defense.
 To show Australia's interest in the war, he reports that Australia has contributed volunteer army of $50 - 900 men, and that over 15O,000 of these men are members of trade unions. This disproves the claim that labor in the English colonies is opposed to the war. Furthermore. it shows that the English colonies arc just as much interested in winning the war as is England herself, since. based upon the proportionate population Australia has furnished a volunteer army that would correspond to 7,00O.- 900 from the United States.

ONLY FIGHTING IS
 ON ITALIAH F20hT
Defenders There Make Gains Against Invaders at Two PCints-SnOw Covers Lines in France and Belgium.

New York, Dec 26.-Except on the northern Italian front the military operations continue far below normal. In France, where snow has fallen along the entire front, only lombard ments and small raiding operations are taking place.
 West of the Brenta, in the Italian highlands, the Italians Christmas day continued their counter attacks upon the Austro-German forces, which pre- viously had succeeded in making gains on Col Del Rosso and Monte De Val Bella.
 The battle waged throughout the morning with great violence and the Italians wrested several of their for mer positions from the enemy, but owing to renewed onslaughts by the Teutonic allied forces they were again compelled to give ground.
 The Berlin war office admits that the Italians threw heavy counter at tacks against the invaders on the Col Del Rosso and neighboring sectors, but asserts that all of them broke down under heavy losses.
 The situation surrounding the peace parleys between the Austro- Germans and the Russians is still beclouded, owing to lack of details being permit ted to come through. At last accounts hte Germans had not only failed to return an answer to the demands made by the Bolshevik delegates, but had requested that the negotiations be extended for virtually another month. Meantime a German commission has started for Petroerad from Berlin in an endeavor to restore relations be- tween Germany and Russia and also to reach a settlement with the Rus sians for an exchange of civilian and incapacitated war prisoners.
