AUSTRIA-HUNGARY HOPES
TO CONCLUDE PEACE WITH
UKRAINIANS NEXT WEEK

COPENHAGEN, Feb. S.-AuStria-
Hungary expects to conclude peace
with UIrainia before the middle of
next week, according to information
received today from a German source.
CThe foregoing dispatch made no
mention OF the negotiations between
the BoIshevik ENJOYS and the Ger
man delegates which have been pro-
ceedinC at Brest-Litoysk)
Alarming rumors are coming out
of PetrogrRd. One report was that
a reign Of terror exists there, and that
the foreign missions have been warn.
ed to leave.
The Bolshevik regime is again
strengthening the Petrograd garrison
and has announced that army head
quarters will be moved there from
Mohilev.
German soldiers are said to be as
sisting the Finnish white guard in
its struggle against the red guard
(the Bolshevik forces.)
This has led to the belief that the
German and Finnish governments
have entered into some kind OF agree
ment, by which peaceful trade rela-
lions will be restored if the white
guard, with the assistance OF the
Germans, is able to drive the Boil
sheviki from Finland.
Turkey Is reported to have effected
a tentative agreement with the Uk-
rainians, and steamships are now said
to be plying on the Black Sea be-
tween Odessa and Constantlnople.

.SW|TCHMENPLEAD
.FORSHORTERWORK
DAY

Pleading for an eight-hour working
day for railroad switchmen. for time
and a half for overtime, S. E. Heber-
ling, president OF the Switchmen's
Union. appeared before the Railway
Wage Commission today. He charged
that the railroads were not observ-
ing the spirit of the eight-hour law,
and that switchmen were being work
ed to exhaustion.
Heberling said that the terms
twelve, ten, and eight hour days"
were misnomerS. as they railways
constantly disregarded them. with the
Adamson law placing a penalty only
after sixteen hours. He also request
ed OF the commission that a so per
cent increase in wages, on the basis
of an eight-hour work day, be grant
ed them. He explained that this re-
quest was the same as the demand
made on the railroads by switchmen
in October, 1917. In addition to this
the time and a half for overtime is
added.
Heberling said that the switchmen's
union was composed of 10,7OO men In
he yard service Oh the railroads,
and included all employees OF this SER
vice.
1--WE have been denied the right"
he said, by the railway managers to
represent switch tenders, but that re-
striction does not apply to us here.
Many men engaged in yard service
cannot afford to pay our dues. The
hazards OF the work are such that
our insurance rates have to be high
er than those OF other railway or
CARNATIONS"

RUSSIANS DRAW
HOPE FROM FOES
INTERNAL TROUBLE

PETROGRAD, Feb. 6.-(Delayed)-
Increasing German internal dissatis-
faction is responsible for the change
in tone OF the Russian delegates at
the Brest-Litovsk peace conference.
Hope is daily strengthening the Rus
SLAMS. There Is no retreat from their
original position and they may de-
mand that the central powers apply the
Russian formula of peace without an
nexations to the western front.
Brest-Litovsk conferees wired that
the negotiations had been resumed
with German. Foreign Minister Won
Kuehlmann insisting on the German
terms but with a softened tone They
declared there could be nothing more
dangerous than compromise. Just
as the Russians have burned their
bridges behind them, just 30 must
they resist each concession demanded

gates said. The Russian conferees
must agree to a separate peace only

II such a peace is based on no an

Referring to Foreign Minister Trot-

should permit German annexations IN
the west, even II they were rejected

this that IL the Germans are able to
