RUSSIAN RESISTANCE TO
GERMANS IN STIFFENING
fskov Has Changed Hands Several
Times, While Russian Army of
10000 Goes to- RevaI.

London, Feb. 2S.-A Petrograd
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
company, dated Monday, says:
That resistance to the German
advance is growing is shown by the
reports Of fighting which continues
in the vicinity of Pskov. This town
has changed hands several times.
The German detachments which first
entered Pskov were very small, but
they have since been reinforced.
There is general belief that the
Germans are moving forward hasti-
ly because supplies of ammunition
worth 4OO.0O0.00O rubles are con
cCntrated in the neighborhood of
Pskov. The Russians. however. are
taking measures to guard the rail
way and are sending more soviet
troops to Pskov."
Later advices say that the soviet
armies are now everywhere resisting
the invaders. At Narva, the Carri-
son and workmen have formed an
army of 10000 and gone to Real.
There are similar reports from
Walk. Great activity is manifested
at the Bolshevic headquarters in Pc
trograd ana arms and ammunition
are being distributed.

Wage Increases Discussed

Chicago, Feb. 2S.-John T..
O'iern, general superintendent for
Armour and company, admitted on
cross-eXamination before Judge
Alschuler, arbitrator in the pack
ing house wage and working hours
dispute, that basic eight-hour day
would not reduce the output or in
terefere with the adequate supply of
foodstuffs to the military forces of
America and her allies. He asserted
however, that an actual eight-hour
day would hamper the efforts to
meet the war needs of the govern
ment and the country
a basic eight-hour day, the wit
ness explained, would simply cost
more to operate through the paw
ment of extra compensation for over
time If the arbitrator's finding was
for basic eight-hour day. the
inference would be that 10 hours
would be too long for the men to
work, he said.
The witness admitted that the

without an investigation regarding
the increased cost of living.
