RICHMOND, Va., March 14.—Wear- ing a mask over her face to keep from being recognized, the young white woman who was attacked by two negro burglars in her home here Saturday morning while her husband lay ill in bed, today confronted eight- een men who have been arrested as suspicious characters. She singled out Richard _Alford, ight, of Darlington, S. C., ng one of the men who tacked her while pistols and flash- lights were held near her head. He is reported to have come here a few days ago. Another negro was also said to re- semble one of the assailants. The two negroes are being held pending further investigation. All suspicious persons, are being ar- rested as a result of the crime wave here, there having been about fifty robberies within the last few weeks. Troops are held ready for any emer- gency. One company of national guardsmen was ordered mobilized yesterday and is held at its armory. No disorders have occurred. A mass meeting was held Sunday afternoon, at which rewards were of- fered for the capture of the two ne- groes. TRADE BOARD TO MEET. Members to Keep Up Drive for Dis- 2 trict Representation.

Notwithstanding increased strength en to the revolutionary forces in ssia by deserters from the bol- skevik army, the food conditions in ‘)i'ons!adt and Petrograd make the o L 8] tcome problematical, according to advices today to the State Depart- nt. The revolutionary force in onstadt has been increased, accord- ing to the government's reports, by 7800 bolshevik deserters. The de- fepders insist that all attacks have been repelled and profess their belief MAY SET FRIDAY FOR WAGE PARLEY Secretary of Labor Working to Adjust Crisis Between Packers and Employes. Secretary Davis had received today replies from the five leading packers and their employes agreeing to his plan for a conference here between two representatives from each in an effort to reach an agreement on the question of wages and other differ- ences. Mr Davis said he has not yet set a date for the conference, but he is understood to be considering Friday of this week, sugge by the em- ployes, who will by then have checked up the results of their strike referen- dum. Reports were current in the De- partment of. Labor today that the packers already had named their representatives at the conference and that they were on their way to Wash- ington. t the fortress cannot be taken by force. The casualty list of the de- fenders has been placed at less than twenty. The stock of munitions in Kron- stadt is said to be adequate for long siege. but their leaders are reported te be apprehensive regarding their fdod supply. Equal concern appears ta, be manifested regarding the food situation in Petrograd. The situation i’ Petrograd appears to have become werse since the soviet leaders vielded Miss Maud E.

John his talks on ‘The Drama.” Armours Plan Democracy. CHICAGO, March 14—Armour Co. has called an election in all of its plants for the employes to choose representatives to form an industrial democracy. The representatives elected tomor- row will form a temporary board, which will work out permanent plans. The announcement of the packing company said that it was planned eventually to have a plant conference board of filve members in each plant & and a general conference board of three members, selected from all plants. The outline of the proposed plan as given out by Armour & Co., sald that when the representatives of em- ployer and employe could not agree on any matter, the question could be referred to an arbitrator. Workers Hold Monster Parade. A monster parade in which thou- sands of stockyard workers took part was held in the district known as “Back o' the Yards” yesterday. The marchers bore banners, some of them reading as follows: __“Must labor pay the debt?" ‘“Mak- ing the work day longer makes more unemployed.” “Was the war for de- mocracy a faflure?” Later there was a mass meeting ad- dressed by union leaders, who urged the men not to precipitate a prema- ture strike, but to await the results of the strike ballot, which. they said, would be” known by Friday at the latest. Oppose Hours’ Change Mont. KANSAS CITY, Mo. March 14 Three thousand packing house el ployes at a meeting in Kansas City, Kan,, yesterday loudly protested against any wage reductions or change of hours, but decided to con- tinue to work as usual. Speakers urged the men to remain calm, and said that more could be accomplished through the courts than by strikes. Protests seemed to be raised more against the return to the ten-hour day than against a reduction in wages.

Music in itself is a thrift measure; it encourages the love of home and saves wandering far afield for amusement and diversion. People who have music—good music—may very well get along WASHINGTON, D.

St. Thomas' Episcopal Church today started an intensive campaign to raise $50,000 with which to build a new parish hall. The proposed structure will cost ap- proximately $75,000.

There have been many charges made this group of Norwegian nationalists intimating that Sweden and Denmark hold too strong a hand over Norway's L decisions. It is extremely unlikely that this controversy will really put an end to the meetings of the Scandinavian ministers, but in view of the heated de- bates now appearing in the Norwegian newspapers some modifications may be made in the scope of the power invested in the representatives to the group meetings. “The export tax,” said a chamber of commerce official, “will make it impos- sible for us to compete any longer with foreign merchants, for we shall at once llose the advantage we have enjoyed | since the armistice in the depreciation of German exchange. German goods de- livered in England and France will now cost as much as those made there. T do not sce how the allies can be unani- mous on such measures.
