Northwestern-Pacific
Phone Merger Planned
Washington, Feb7. The North
western Long Distance Telephone
company and the Pacific Telephone
and Telegraph company applied to
the interstate commerce commission
today for permission to consolidate
their lines, in Oregon, Washington
and Idaho.'
The proposal agreement between
the two companies provides for lease
of the Northwestern plant to the
Pacific corporation for 15 years at an
annual rental of $34,750. If, during
the term of the lease, either com
pany desires to complete the con
solidation, the Pacific company
agrees to pay $0,000 to the North
western and to cancel an indebted
ness of $295,000 which it holds
against the Northwestern company.
The Northwestern company has
been unable to maintain its earnings
in a competitive relationship ' with
the Pacific company, the application
asserts adding that the consolida
tion would add to the efficiency of
long distance service.

New Pope Great Mountain
.Climber in Younger Days
Boyhood Companion of Pius XI Tells of Excursions
Over Hills Around Home First Man to
Reach Summit of Mont Blanc
From Italian Side.
By The .Woemttd I'rws,
London, Feb. 7. Proceeding to
Desio, a short distance from Milan,
where the new pontiff was born, the
Milan correspondent of the Loudon
Times found the population in the
streets commenting excitedly on the
news of Cardinal Ratti's election as
pope, while the bells of the church
were pealing.
A crowd of peasants, women and
children, gathered in front of the
two-storied house where Piux XI was
born. His father, Francesco Katti,
director of a silk factory s not a
rich man, but of comfortable means.
The pope was the third of six chil
dren of whom, besides himself, only
two are living.
The pope passed his boyhood in
Desio, where he attended school. In
the spring and summer, the teacher,
Father Voluntari, gave lessons out
doors in the arcade, covered with ivy,
which is still well preserved. That
the new pope was always fond of his
native place is well known. He vis
ited it every summer and last Sep
tember before making solemn cn'.ry
into Milan, having been created car
dinal, he passed a few days in his na
tive village at the house of a friend,
a retired solicitor.
Loved Mountains.
"Achilles and myself." the solicitor
told the correspondent, "were chum.1;.
I could tell you a lot about our
games and escapades. Since a boy
the new pope has been noted for Lis
love of books and mountains, and I
assure you it would be difficult to
say which he loves the most. At the
age of 10 we used to go on excursions
over the hills, and he distinguished
himself by his ability and endurance.
"From our hills he turned to the
Alps and became a great moun
taineer! Of his climbs, three are par
ticularly important Cerviu (Matter
horn), Mont'Blac and Mont Rosa
He was the very first to reach the
summit of Mont Blanc from the Italian
side, and the road which he was the
first to traverse is still known by his
name, and that of Monsignor Gras
sclli, his companion. He-was the
first to cross Zumstcin peak, on Mont
Rosa, and this ascension he described
in a bulletin pf the Italian Alpine
club, of which he was a member.
"We were often together on these
excursions and I never saw a more
enthusiastic and .delightful climber.
He constantly carried his prayer
book with him, and would occasional
ly rest and read a few sentences.
Calm In Emergencies.
"What was the most extraordinary
to me was his perfect realm, even in
difficult moments. I remember once
on the glacier Paradiso our guide
fell into a crevasse and would have
perished had it not been for the
presence of mind, skill and strength
with which Ratti held the ropes."
At Milan the correspondent called
on Signora Camilla Ratti. The sis
ter of the pope lives alone in Milan
in a modest flat. She was in tears.
"I am pleased," she said, "at the
great honor bestowed on my family,
but am sorry to lose a brother who
was always good and kind to me. I
am afraid I shall see him very little
now, .
"I was happy when he returned to
Milan as cardinal, but my happiness
was to last only five months, during
which time I had the opportunity of
seeing him almost every day."
Asked what her brother told her
when he was leaving for the con
clave, she replied: "My brother is
a very reserved man; he does not like
talking about himself. He told me,
however, that he hoped he would re
turn to his beloved Milan."

Berlin, Feb. 7. As the national
railroad itrike becomei wore nl
lttrlin' water, gas, electric and ttrerl
car ttrikn have completely tied up
the capital, the LoMicvik leaden,
who hitherto have been awaiting de
velopments iiiietly, are attempting
to turn the strike at hast into a par
tiul revolution. The storming ol the
liauau railroad station and disorders
in Saxony, mpecially in Halle and
Dresden, were the firit violent mani
festations. Most important was la 4 niuht'i
ecrct meeting of the Dcrlin Work
cr' council lor the purpose of de
claring a general trike. I have
learned, from the government de.
partment of security, ihc high
est police organization, that should
the workers' council declare a gen
eral strike, it is likely that the com
munists will attempt to scie the Ber
lin government. Inasmuch as the
present strike is nearly general it it
probable that the other, unions will
call their members out.
Want Soviet Government.
Furthermore the communist leaden
hope if they succeed in establishing a
workers' government, the membera
of which already have been litcd, to
turn the Berlin government into
soviet At the same time it is said
they hope to call out the Soviets in
Leipzig, Dresden, Halle and other
red centers.
Chancellor Wirth discussed the
situation yesterday with Commis
sioner Wcissman, the head of the de
partment of public security. The
communists' headquarters was being
watched, but the police believed that
the reds would hold their conference
last night in some secret place. Some
police officials believed that Karl
Radick, a Moscow leader, arranged
the communist activity here under
the assumed name of Karl Reimer
before he disappeared from Berlin a
few days ao.
All Shades of Opinion.
The workers' council, in whose
hands the general strike with the red
aftermath lies, is composed of all
shades of opinion. Many of the
members are "pink," but it is said

What Is the Meaning?
And what is the meaning of Chi
cago s response to these oriental
fantasies and coloristic fervor?
Perhaps the history of art in 1493
is now repeating itself in the western
world.
More than 400 years ago men of
classic learning -and culture were
forced to leave Byzantium after
that city had been seized and re
named by the Turks.
Most of them went to Venice and
Genoa, where they found wealthy
patrons and there developed a re
vival of culture that was the begin
ning of the renaissance.
Now the Russians are coming to
Chicago since their own country is
going through an unheaval and, like
the refugees of Byzantium, are mak
ing their influence felt in their new
surroundings.
