RAILROAD MEN ASK HIGHER WAGES AND
 ALSO WANT PASSES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Train dispatchers and station agents today presented their requests for higher wages to the railroad wage commits sion. G. S Sandlin, appearing es- pecially in behalf of train dispatchers employed by the Southern railway, asked that chief dispatchers pay be raised to $235 a month, with $225 for assistants and $215 for other dis patchers, representing an average increase of 40 per cent. He also asked privileges of passage on foreign roads and Pullman cars.
 A. J. Tatlow, head of the Inde- pendent Order of Railway Employees, appeared on behalf of station agents, telegraphers, clerks and other em- ployes. He said station agents were poorly paid, and that the retention of experienced men in small offices is important under government oper- ation.
 Director General McAdoo today dis cussed with Secretary of Labor Will son, the labor policies to be developed by the railroad administration and their relation to wage matters in other industries. A strong effort will be made, it is said, to harmonize railway workers wages with those of other industries. In some cases this policy would lead to material increases and for some highly paid employees, the increase would be slight.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

JUAREZ, Jan. 29-More than no federal soldiers and railroad Workmen were killed Saturday when the engine of a work train was dynamited by a Villa force 25 miles south of Santa Rosalia, Chihuahua, according to in formation received here late today and confirmed by reports reaching here tonight. The train was going from Chihuahua City to Rellano to clear away the wreckage of the passenger train which was held up by Villa fol- lowers last Wednesday, 40 guards and passengers killed, IS girls carried away and the train burned.
 The work train was guarded by 100 federal soldiers and carried a number of railroad track men to clear the line. After passing Santa Rosalia the dyna- mite explosion occurred, wrecking the train. The Villa followers fired into the train and the federals were forced to defend themselves from the attack ing force which was divided into two columns on each side of the railroad. The fight continued for eight hours. according to reports received here to- night, and practically all of the federal soldiers were either killed in action or executed, according to these reports. The few who escaped were later brought to Chihuahua City together with number of the wounded track men who were rescued by reinforce ments arriving at the scene of the holdup from the state capital.
 Francisco Villa was reported to have led the attack on the train with Mar tin Lopez second in command. After the attack the Villa force entered San la Rosalia where a garrison of 125 were stationed. Those were either killed or joined the Villa column and the town was footed.

 |S BEING PLANNED
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. - National registration of women available for work on farms is planned by the de- partment of labor as one of the ad- vance steps in a campaign to secure a sufficiency of farm labor for every section of the country during the com ing season.
 A. l.. Berkman, chief of the division of farm service, announced tonight that every effort would be made to meet the expected shortage of farm labor by a plan to mobilize the avail able men and women in every con- munity in the country. Heavy snows in the middle west, he said, should mean a large wheat crop, and if the favorable weather continued one of the biggest yields on record may be ex- pected
 A special farm service man will be stationed in most of the 94 federal employment agencies of the country MT. Berkman said, and in addition postoffices in the small farming con- munities will be used as recruiting stations, the postmaster or some othei representative citizen acting as con- munity labor agent.
 Women, Mir. Berkman said, will be needed for truck gardening, fruit gath ering, dairying and other light form: of labor.
 "The college girls and the womer of the leisure classes who are ready to respond to call for workers as 2 matter of patriotic. service" he said must be depended upon chiefly fol the woman labor that will be needed

LONDON, Jan. 29.-The Bolsheviki foreign minister, Leon Trotzlly, an- nounced 10 the congress of workmen's and soldiers deputies at Petrograd Sat urday night the decision of the gov ernment respecting reprisals against Rumania. These include the breaking off of diplomatic relations, the seiz- ure of Rumanan gold reserve in Mos COW, and the outlawing of Lieutenant General Stcherbatcheff the former commanders in- chief on the Rumanian front
 It is understood that General Stcher- batcheff has been cooperating with the Rumanian authorities in disarming Russians in Rumania and Besarabia.
 According to reports received from Berlin by way of Amsterdam, peace negotiations will be resumed at Brest- Iitovsk Tuesday Count Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister and Dr. von Kuehlmau, the German secretary of foreign affairs, arrived there Monday, and NJ. Trotzky is ex- pected at an early date. Later dis patch, however, denied that the Rus sian foreign minister intended to pro- ceed to Brest- -Litovsk.

WAR REVIEW
 OF THE DAY
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

Notwithstanding the fact that deep snows still cover the ground, the Ital ians have carried out successfully spectacular drive against the Austro- German lines in the mountain region of northern Italy and captured strong positions and more than 1,500 men.
 The blow was delivered on the Asiago plateau sector and the enemy positions penetrated were tenaciously held not Withstanding strong counter attacks, in which the Austro Germans were re- pulsed with heavy casualties. The Berlin war office, in admitting the re- verse to the Teutonic allied line, as- serts that the Italians repeatedly tried to bring up endorsements to widen the breaches they had made in the enemy front but their efforts failed, and 360 italians were made prisoner.
 That airplanes aided materially in the fighting, full details of which have not yet been received is indicated in the Italian official communication, which asserts that during the progress of the battle the enemy lost F air craft.
 The victory of the Italians at this particular point is of considerable sig nificance because of the fact that lately. SiLNc lLc tlltIly SllOllS IO break through the hill region to the Venetian plain failed around Monte Tomba and sectors west, the Austro- Germans have been bringing up rein- forcements in the Asiago district pre- paratory to a further series of attacks to reach the lowlands around Bassano and Venezia
 Aside from this battle, no important infantry operations have been recorded although the Germans have been oper- ating with their artillery on some what extensive scale on the Arras front and have carried out raiding operations on several other sectors of Field Mar l shal Haig's line.
 Monday nights airplane raid, the first of the year, Oh London and ad- jacent territory resulted in the largest casualty list of any air raid since that of June 13 last. The total casualties were 47 killed and 169 injured. In the June raid 97 persons were killed and 437 wounded by bombs which fell in London and on Essex and Kent.
 Just what is the situation in Russia remains obscure. The breech between Russia and Rumania meanwhile is broadening. In addition to severing diplomatic relations With the little Kingdom, the Bolsheviki have ordered the seizure of Rumanias gold reserve on deposit in Moscow.
 | Scant details have come through concerning the situation in Finland but the reports indicate that the Red Guard is in control at Helsinfors, where a revolutionary manifesto has pro- claimtd that authority is solely in the hands of the working classes
 The supreme war council, with dele 1 gates representing the United States Great Britain, France and Italy in at- tendance, has convened at Versailles l France. The plans of the military campaign of the entente allies and of the United States forces are expected to be discussed. Serious strikes are reported to be in progress throughout Germany.

GERMAN OFFICER MAKES LIGHT IF ARMY IF
 UNITED STATES; SAYS ARMY |S NEGLIGIBLE

That is truly an American master piece of accomplishment-to sew epau- lets on a hundred thousand men and call them officers. Does MT. Baker imagine that these gentlemen in six, nine or twelve months can become fit to perform the difficult tasks of officers in modern war?
 What about non commissioned of ficers, who are so important for rain- ing and holding together an army? Nothing is complete. Everything must be improyised. It is an insoluble prob lem.
 "Of the total strength the Americans are able to muster, it has been shown that only a half million can get to Europe. But when? The entente lead CTS have got to expect them before next autumn-neutral observers say six months later
 Moreover, these men will arrive still untrained. While perhaps they may be useful for defensive, they may be considered negligible for any offensive operations.
 '."The greatest possible American mil itary effort will be too weak and in significant to make good the loss of the Russians and the weakening of the Italians"

REORGANIZATION
 DEPARTMENT FOR
 LABOR IS PLANNED

WASHINGTON, Jan 29.-Virtual re- organization of the department of labor has been decided on by Secretary Will son as the first move in a plan to establish a war labor administration which will formulate a broad national labor policy for the duration of the war.
 The step was recommended by a special labor advisory council named by Secretary Wilson two weeks ago to assist him in working out a program. A war labor administration was pro- posed in the council of national defense and approved by President Wilson, who put under Secretary Wilson's direction all government activities relating to labor problems.
 Taking up first the, most difficult task confronting him, that of bringing capital and labor together in an ar engagement to end strikes, it was learned tonight Secretary Wilson will call on both sides immediately to form joint board to meet in Washington to agree on general principles to govern their relations during the war. Each side will be asked to name five repre- sentatives, who in turn will select one person each, representing the general public, making board of twelve mem berS
Arizona republican., 1918-01-30

The war labor administration will be centered in the re-organized and en- larged labor department Secretary Wilson will be supreme labor adminis- trator and industrial service sections of other government departments, al though they will continue their activi- ties as at present, will be centralized under his control.
 Seven new labor department services or bureaus will be created The most important of these will be an adjust ment bureau, which will deal with in dustrial disputes. The other will be designated: Conditions of labor; infor- nation and education; woman in in- dustry; training; housing and trans portation and personnel.
 Officials who have studied the war labor situation express the opinion that the labor problem at last is in a fair way of solution. By having employers and employees agree on the general principles of their relations it is hoped to settle all differences that may arise before they develop into strikes. Here tofore the policy has been to take up the situation and attempt a settlement after the strikes are imminent or ac- tuallV have Occurre6

LONDON, Jan. 29.-"The truth about the American army is the title of a long article written by Colonel Gaedke in the German socialist newspaper Bremen Zeitung.
 "The entente now has pinned its faith entirely to American help" says Colonel Gaedke. Tt, therefore, is important that the Germans know just how serious is this American menace.
 "The Americans are coming to Eu- rope to meet the most perfect instru- ment of war that any age ever has seen. Can they do it?
 Secretary of War Baker recently told us that a million and half men were under training. With all modesty we call his attention to the fact that the men who still are being trained cannot terrify us. It took the English two years to put a million men in a battlefield which was quite near them The Americans, with the handicap of distance, cannot do better.
 How are the Americans off for of ficers? Where are they to get 4,500 gen. erals and staff officers? Mir. Baker said he had 5000 officers of all ranks in April, but now has a hundred and ten thousand.

 LONDON, Jan. 29.-Djspatches from Switzerland and Holland describe the general strike in Berlin and other parts of Germany as much more serious than indicated by the of ficial dispatches sent from Berlin.
 According to the Central News ad- vices from Amsterdam, nearly all of the workmen of the Daimler. Boersig. Ludwig and General Electric works are on strike Trades unions are not at the head of the movement, but several trades are almost com- pletely at a standstill.
 Socialist Propaganda
 The independent socialists have carried on an active propaganda dur ing the last few days the dispatch says, and the movement appears to be serious. In industrial centers meetings are prohibited. It is par ticularly grave in the suburbs of Lichterfelde, Heringsdorf and Johan- isthal, where electric works and air plane factories are situated. Strikes also have broken out in Rhineland and Westphalia.
 The F'rankfurter Zeitung says the movement IS directed against the delay in passing the Prussian reform bill and the agitation conducted by the fatherland party. The same paper adds that the strike has spread to the Bochum mining district, nine miles from Essen.
 Torpedo Workers Strike
 A dispatch to the Exchange Tele- graph company under date of Janu- ary 2S, says that thoroughly trust worthy report from Kiel deciared the workers in the torpedo factory at Friedrichsport struck on Friday af- ternoon.
