No Mass Meetinp
 of Berlin Are l Ordered to Stop Shoot to Kill.

Berlin, Jan. 9, (By the K Press, 5;30 D. m.)-The gcNerf1YfS forces are in complete control Of ffsH4 section of the inner city between the Brandenburg gate and Friederich- strasse. It has issued an order pro- hibiting all processions.
 Spartacan Stronghold Taken.
 The gOVernAent has scored a de- cided victory in the capture of po- lice headquarters, which has been one of the Spartacan strongholcas. The building was taken by the Fusilier Guards after short fight.
 The government forces took the building with few casualties. Eich- horn, the Spartacan police chief. escaped, but many of his supporters were made prisoners.
 Orders to Shoot to Kill.
 1r issuing it's order against process slonS, the government gave warning that it's troops have orders to fire without waiting for the Spartacans to begin and to shoot to kill.
 The Spartacans apparently are los ing hope. They failed to summon a mass meeting of their supporters to- day and the streets are almost de- serted.
 The streets of Berlin today were without even the usual small groups of disputants.
 SharpshOoters Support Govt.
 The correspondent is informed that the Berlin regiment of mounted sharpshooters is supporting the gov crnment enthusiastically and that other troops in the city also are loyal.
 Police headquarters are in the Alexander Place. The building had been held by the Spartacans ever since the beginning of the present outbreak which was caused by the refusal of Eichhorn to hand over his authority to 6 police chief appointed by the Ebert government.
 The Brandenburg gate marks the term mination of Unter den Linden at the Tiergarten one of the Spartacan stronEhods. Friederichstrasse is an important cross street and crosses Unter den Linden about midway be- tween the Tiergarten and the Lust garten. which is in front of the royal palace.
 Fighting Being Continued.
 Determined atta cks by the govern ment forces on the plants of the Tagcblatt and the Nossische Zeitung, which are still in the hands of the Spartacans, have been going on with short intervals of inaction since noon today.

Be Arbitrated or Compromised.

statement last night. Judge Ebert H.

Il will say for myself that questions

ed nor compromised, he said. land in
cluded in the present unfortunate
struggle"
Gary's statement was issued after
he had been informed of the state
ment of John Fitzpatrick. leader of
the steel strikers, testifying before the
senate investigating committee, that
the strike would be called off If the
corporation would agree to submit all
matters IN dispute to a committee
named by President Wilson.
4 also think we cannot negotiate
or confer with Mr.. Fitzpatrick and
his associates as union labor leaders
concerning our employees, whom these
gentlemen have volunteered to- repre-
sent Gary said.
The board of directors or the
United States Steel corporation are the
representatives of nearly 10000
stockholders. including $4,000 tC
20. 900 employees. We are their servants
and are selected to represent and pro-
tect their interests. also the interests
of all-our 250.0 employees. the ma
jority of whom. / think, are not mem
bers of labor unions. Moreover, ! be
heve our corporation is under grea

corning the issues involved in the pres
ent strike"
