 All the speakers expressed confi- dence that the masses of the peoples of Germany and Austria Hungary would not permit new blood shed on the Russian front, for such an offen- siVe would have the character of an open raid for plunder.
 M. Trotzky completed his report with the statement that Russia was withdrawing from the war, not only in appearance but in reality, was throw ing away all agreements with her former allies, and, as regards the war in progress, was reserving for herself complete freedom with respect to both sides in her revolutionary policy.

STREET
 RAILWAY CASE
 IN COURT HERE

Men and women of every walk of life who chance 10 be in business or have their residenCe place on North First street were called to testify in Judge Lyman's court yesterday in the man damus proceeding brought by Mrs. Hattie MOsher and William E. Louct 10 compel the Phoenix Railway com pany 10 run it's cars on First street, The removal of the tracks in July, 1916, and the effect of the action by the car company was thoroughly gone into and scores of witnesses called before the court adjourned. The plaintiff had not submitted all it's evidence and will call others 10 testify when the matter again comes up, Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock.
 The plaintiffs allege that they and others paid large sums to the company as d bonus to build the line on North First street. Since the establishment ot the line they claim that valuable property interests have been acquired and permanent improvements to the value of half a million dollars have been made on the street in question.
 The car company, in it's answer claims that it cannot procure steel rails. It alleges that owing to the war conditions and the fact that the supply of iron and steel in the United States is largely subject to prior use and con- trol of the government, it is also i'm possible 10 secure spikes, bolts etc. necessary material for the reconstruc- ton. Another point the company makes IS that if it made the attempt to secure the materials it would be required tc pay a price in excess of the price in normal times-the increase being from 90 to 200 per cent.
 NIr. LOunt. was the first witness called and testified that his father, S D. Lount, 9 pioneer of the valley, con tributed $1,500 toward the First street line. He said that improvements had been made believing that the car ser vice would continue, and stated that when the service was no longer ren- dered, rents had to be reduced and the property m general depreciated ir value
 C. r. AinswOrth, who was city attor- ney at the time the Brill line was con- structed. testified that property owners along the track contributed towards the construction which was corroborate6 by Mrs. Laura Brill, who said that hel husband, the owner of Brill addition guaranteed money for the building o1 the line in the sum of five or six thous. iand dollars and that such portions a. other subscribers failed to pay, ht made good

McVay and Don- aid Dunbar, the new board of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce met yesterday noon at the Arizona club as the guest of retiring President H. J..

Stauffer, second vice-presi- dent; Donald Dunbar, treasurer, and Harry Welch, secretary.
 Messrs. Hanny and Goldberg, while keenly interested in the work of the chamber of commerce, felt that they are unable to give the time to the du- ties of the board required of directors and therefore, resigned. They will, as in the past aid the chambers work in every way possible.

of the strikers were in defiant mood, others including several of the local leaders seemed hopeful that the trouble would be satisfactorily adjusted.
 Not for Closed Shop
 That the action of the striking ship workers was taken because of a de- mand for a "closed shop" was denied emphatically tonight by John Morgan, general organizer of the United Broth erhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America.
 If the government decides to take over the shipbuilding industry all over the country, the organization is willing to supply the government with any amount of men. Our entire organiZa- ton of 300,000 men is at the disposal of the government. We are ready to work for the United States, but not for profiteeripg employers, because we re- alize that with a great man like Presi- dent Wilson at the head of this nation justice will be meted out to the workers.
 Our demands are that the men now out receive the same working condi- tions as those on the Pacific coast"

 MT. Fennemore then suggested that perhaps the witness might be preju- diced, recalling his displeasure in hav- ing the car tracks laid on Fourth street l in the vicinity of St. Josephs hospital
 To this Father Novatus replied that his remarks as a witness would not be governed by any feeling that he might have in other matters.
 Another unusual witness was Mrs Rose Collister who found it impossible to reply to any question by yes or no. | Mrs. McCollister had an explanation | for everything. Located at 710 Nortt First street where she is engaged il | button making and manufacturing 1 dress forms and other novelties, she l insisted that she had lost patrons wher ! the car service was abandoned.

Says He Is Powerless

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-William L.. E1utcheson, president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. declared late tonight that he was DOW erless to order the shipyard strikers back to work and enforce such an or der. He asserted, however, that it was his desire that all men return to work and trust to the government to adjust their long standing grievances"
 MT. Hutcheson was located in this city late tonight and copy of the telegram sent him by Chairman Hur- ley of the shipping board was supplied to him by The Associated Press. After reading it he dictated the followins statement:
 The strike does not meet with my approval but the fact that the car penters' organization has no agree ment regarding this work leaves me powerlesS to order the men back to work. That agreement we have sought in vain for several months. wish the men would return to work and trust the government to adjust their griev- aRceS.

Increase in American Hogs will
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified In stImulatisn
ef Pork noduetIon-ssvenfold
Increase Over Prs-
War Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports of pork products.
With the heavy demands added in car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression. the
Department Of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day in our every action of stimulation
Of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be In
fats, and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy Of the policy
Of stimulated production has built up
in this country supplies which will en-
able US to supply q very large part Of
the fat deficiency Of the world. In
beef there must be a shortage In Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filled by
America. Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made BY the pro-
ducers Of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to ami
NAL food products u illustrated by the
following:
Reports complied BY the o. 8. De-
partment Of Agriculture indicate an
increase In cattle of 10,2SS. 900 head
and II. Al 900 hogs. These figures
were complied to January last.
In this period there was a decrease
in sheep of $4,000 head. The indlca-
tioos are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January 1 unonicial informa-
ton indicates an increase In hogs Of
not less than 8 per cent. and not
moro than ID per cent. a. compared
With one year ago, with an increase II
he average weight.
Following the request Of the q. 8.
Food Administration for an increase
In hog production for marketing In the
fall Of 1918 and the spring Of 1919 the
increase may yield not lees than 1,000,-
0o0. 900 pounds more Of pork products
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr. Hoover regarding an
inal food products would have been
impossible.
fAs dressed hog products during ths
three months ending September 80,

During the same period for 1917 the

PIesss Resd This

The American Committee for Ar
menian and Syrian relief has asked
the Sunday schools of America for
100000 this year. The plans for
this relief fund has been made by the
international Sunday School Associa-
tion. Sunday, Dec. I'd was to have
been Visitation Day at all the Sunday
schools; the Sunday schools were all
to have been visited and asked to
contribute to the Armenian and Sy-
rian relief fund. This Is an effort to
help those helpless and destitute peo-
pie who have suffered so much at the
hands of the Turks. The lives Of
400, 900 helpless children depend upon
the success Of this campaign. S.
will support an orphan for q month.
$50 will maintain child for year.
On account of the quarantine, the
Sunday Schools Of Gunnison county
were unable to do any thing, so we
are taking other means to bring this
worthy matter to your attention.
The State Secretary reports that the
people are responding nobly in other
places, so good people of Gunnison
county, what will you do for the
hungry, heartbroken, homeless boys
and girls of Bible lands?. 'Inasmuch
as We have done it unto one Of the
least of these, my brethren, ye have
done it unto me-"
Mrs. Grant rutland has been ap-
pointed the leader for Gunnison
county schools by the Field Superin-
tendent of the International S. S.
Association. If you wish to contrib
ute and help this hungry multitude,

published later.
