1ugboat Masters, Mates
and Pilots Strike for 10.
Hour Day and Overtin,e
Sncc;oI Corr,o,,,.., ~. :;

Special Correspondence
PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 1.-Shippinp
in the port of Philadelphia is at a
standstill to-day.
Following their threat to strike Fri
day unless their employers granted de-
mands for shorter hours and additional
pay Tor overtime, masters, mates and
pilots. of about 1870 harbor and river
tugs determined not to wait any longer
and walked cut this morning
When this step was taken, cooks
stewards, deck hands and firemen, who
also planned to strike, found them
serves forced to quit their tugs day
before they had intended to. Their
official strike will be declared at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, if no salts
factory word has been received from
employers by that time.
Inc strikers are employed on tug
boats used in towing merchant vessels
to. their docks. AS a result of the
waik-out several ships arriving at the
Delaware Breakwater to-day were
forced to anchor, unable to proceed to
their berths. Some of the vessels pro
'cecded under their own power to Mar
Gus Hook, or further up, but, unable tc
dock without tugs, anchored in mid
stream.
The masters, mates and pilots de-
mand a ten-hour day, one day off s
week, time and half for work over
ten hours and double time for work
over twelve hours.
The tugboat owners say the ten-houl
day demanded by the men is impossible
as the time limit might expire when &
tug was long way from q point where
the crew could be landed.

British Troops Battle
With Egyptian Rioters
Two Disturbers Slain and Five
Wounded in Clash at
Alexandria

ALEXANDRIA, Dec. 26 delayed =
A conflict occurred to-day between
rioters and the police and troops. Two
of the rioters were killed and five
wounded.
Rioting and disorders, chiefly as a
result Of attempts by Nationalist
leaders to break the British grip on
Egypt, have been frequent in Alexan-
dria and Cairo since the close of the
war. The greatest uprising was in
July, 1919, when 800 natives were killed
and 1000 wounded. Later thirty-nine
were put 70 death for conspiracy in
starting the riot, twenty-seven were
sentenced to life imprisonment and
1000 put in Jail for shorter terms.
About hundred Europeans were killed
in the street fighting.
Late in October the demonstrations
were renewed and machine guns were
turned on the rioters by the British
troops. The disorders lasted several
days and there were many casualties.
On November IS ten persons were
killed and 120 injured in clash. In
December there was more fighting.
The arrival in Cairo of commission
under Lord Miner in October to study
Egyptian conditions for the British
government aroused the bulk of the
demonstrations and even caused the
downfall of the Cabinet in November.
Despite the outbreaks the British gov
ernment has reiterated it's intention

Special CoYrcspondercc

OTTAWA, Jan. 1.-The London cor
respondent Of "The Montreal Gazette"
writes:
"The famous and historic Dcvonshire
House, the best known and most finely
placed private mansion in London, is
about to become hotel, as was an
nounced. The plans are all but com
pletcd for the transfer of this i'm
mensely valuable property. It is un-
derstood that the purchaser will be Mr..
J. McE. Bowman, the American hotel
proprietor and the owner Of the cele-
brated Commodore, in New York. The
ulan is to acquire the Devonshire House
site for something over million ster-
ling and erect regular New York or
Chicago skyscraper of hotel on the
Commodore model. Mr.. Bowman ap-
parently thinks there is demand for
this sort Of thing in London, and he
may be right, especially as he builds
on a big Yankee invasion every year
owing to the "dry" climate of the
United States.
Mr.. Bowman sailed for England
about month ago to perfect plans
for hotel on the site Of Devonshire

The largest part of the immense con-

Much of the whisky owned by the
Pittsburgh concern is in warehouses

fairs, Comes Report

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The position of
General Denikine, the anti Bolshevik
leader in South Russia, is becoming
more critical. Reports received by the
War Office show his retreat is continu-
ing along virtually the whole of his
6O0-mile front, and that the Bolshevik
crive against his center, with the pur-
pose of cutting his army in two, has
brought about q critical situation.
The Bolshcvik advance guards have
reached the Donetz coal basin and
are less than one hundred miles from
the coast. This basin represents the
richest mineral section of Russia, and
its acquisition by the "Reds" would be
OF inestimable value to them.
"Rcds' Exploit Advantages
Further east the "Reds" are i'm
periling the left flank of the Caucasus
army. The Bolshevik evidently have
succeeded in brilliantly concentrating
overwhelming forces against Denikine's 5
somewhat th;nly held center and are
exploiting their advantage to the
fullest degree.
Another threatening situation exists
in Transcaspia, where the Bolsheviki
claim they have occupied Djebel sta
ton, eighty miles east of Krasnovodis
IN their advance toward that town.
"Ked" relnlofcements continue to ar
rive in the Nerv region of Trans
cnspia from Central Russia. This
makes the menace along the Persian
and Afghan borders critical.
Yekaterinoslav Falls
The capture CT Yekaterinoslav, on
the Southern Russian front, and Novo-
moskovsk, fifteen miles northeast OF
Yekaterinoslav, is announced in a
polshevik official statement issued to-
day.
The "Reds" are also fighting fiercely
for possession OF Tcherkassy, on the
Dnieper. ninety-five miles Southeast Of
Kiev. The Bolsheviki have occupied
Maryinsk, east of TomsA, on the ST.
berian front, the statement adds.

Revolutionary troops on December "a
during which they captured the rail

Communication across the Angara

Indian Rebels
Capture Strategic Hill Af-
ter Three-Day Battle:
Heauy Losses Inflicted

LONDON, Jan. 1.-Dispatches re-
ee'ved here from British India under
date of December 1S and December 20
show that there has been considerable
lighting between the British expedi-
tionary forces and the revolving tribes
men. Severe losses were inflicted on
ehe tribesmen, although the British
apparently were put to a hard test
In defeating them.
A dispatch from Mandannakach
dated December 1S, says the British
column, fighting against 1000 Mahsuds
anc another force composed of Waziri
and Mahsuds, who occupied the hills
westward of Jandola, captured the
Sarkai ridge, driving the trbesmen
from their positions, upon which the
british later pitched their camp. Air
planes followed the enemy, harassing
fnem and causing numbers of casual
iosses are described as having been
light.
"A further dispatch. dated December
~, shows that on December 10 the
trlDesmen counter-attacked and the
orltish were compelled to retire, owing
TO heavy casualties, from Sand Bag
Hill, which they previously had taken
after stubborn resistance lasting sew
eral hours. Sand Bag Hill and the ad-
9acent ridges form strategic position
essential to the safety of the British
columns in their further progress.
Inc battle was continued on the goth
and the British in two hours reca ntured
the positions they were forced to
abandon the previous day. The enemy
casualties were reported to have been
heavy.
