pRUSSIANS IN MANCHURIA
Goods Made in Germany Far East of Irkutsk Finding Ready Salo-Pris- oners Work Russian Gold Mines.

Harbin, Manchuria, Feb. 16.-Ger- man goods already have reappeared far east of Irkutsk, according to in formation received here. German merchants are active in Harbin and the Bolsheviki are arning released German prisoners to guard the Siber- ian railway and facilitate the move nent of traffic.
 A British mining engineer named Piper, who has arrived here from krasgoyarsy, says the Bolsheviki have seized the gold mines there and that Austro-German prisoners are working them. The Austro- Germans have plenty of money and are pur- chasing permits allowing them to circulate freely in Siberia The Ger mans are taking charge of electric power stations, railways and depots. Quantities of raw materials are being shipped to Germany from the district. Most of the Germans are said to speak Russian.
 Piper declares that unless the AL lies take immediate steps to speed up supplies and raw materials into Siberia the intellectual and peasant classes will throw themselves into the hands of the Germans. Goods are belng sold at pre-war prices by the Germans, who also are making con- tracts and concessions as we'll as carrying on propaganda work.

EIGHT HOUR DAY
in Packing House Inyesti- gation Reveals Progress Of Organ iZcd Workers During Year.

Chicaeo, Feb. 21.--Leifer Magnus- T, an investigator of the bureau of applied economies at Washington. descended on the packing house wage arbitration proceedings before Judge AIschuler today with a small ava l2nche of statistics bearing on the cight-hOur day.
 Frank r. Walsh attorney for the employees, said he did not expect to call other packers in addition to J. Ogden Armour and Nelson Morris, already heard, but expected state- mcnts from Swift & Co.,, in reply to questions submitted in writing.
 MT. MagnusSen said every state in the union was on record in favor of a, shorter work day. The trend of the times he said was that way and Oregon, Mississippi, and Minnesota have legalized the eight-hour day He said the number of workers who achieved the eight-hour day in 1917 was more than 100000, including the 100000 railroad men added by the Adams law. Present figures, he said, show 2,S00,000 persons working under eighthour agreements. Obser- Vation of the workings of the Adams law, he said showed that in yard service the law increased labor costs 25 per cent but he explained the shorter day had resulted in certain changes of method which ultimately would bring reductions in operating costs.
