Several hundred union street car men, reinforced by more than a thou- sand sympathizers marched to the city hall and pesented to the city council a resolution urging the na- tional council of defense to order the reinstatement of the union men or to take over the street car lines in the} two cities for the period of the war. The city council adopted the resolu- tion tonight with but one dissenting vote. Company officials, in reply to tel- egram from Secetary of War Baker and the federal department of labor urging arbitration, declared that the differences already had been submit- ted to arbitration and pointed to the order of the state public safety com- mission instructing the men to dis-| card their union buttons and return{ to work. “It is a clear case of 20 per cent of the company’s trainmen trying toj force unionism upon 80 per cent, or over: 1,800 of our men,” Presdent Hor- ace Lowry wired Secretary Baker, ad- ding that he could see no reason for again attempting arbitration. Evidently fearing a recurrence of| the rioting incident to the street car strike last month, Governor Burn- quist issued a statement in St. Paul today warning officials of the two cit- ies that failure to maintain peace would be grounds for prompt re- moval.

Unof- ficial reports say that the Russo- German plenipotentiaries will meet at noon Sunday on the northern Russian battle front and thence proceed by train to the German headquarters at Brest Litovsk to discuss the Bolsh- eviki project. Lansdowne Bitterly Discussed The letter of the Marquis of Lans- downe, one of Great Britain's leading statesmen, pleading for a re-statement of the war aims of the entente allies | and favoring an attempt to secure peace before “the prolongation of the: war leads to the ruin of the civilized | world,” is stil the theme for bitter | discussion in England. Lord Robert} Cecil, the blockade minister, and An-, drew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, have stated that the views of the marquis were not those of any of the members of the British cabine. At a meeting of the union- ist party Bonar Law repudiated the letter of the Marquis of Lansdowne. describing it as a ‘disaster’ while the meeting in a resolution con- demned the utterances of the marquis. Units of national guardsmen from all the states in the country have ar- rived in France. Some of the men already in training in sound of the Automobiles at the factory Buicks any sason yet. follow.
