RUSSIANS IN
BITTER FIGHT
NEAR ORSHA
(By Associated Press.)
London, March 1. A Petrc
grad dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph company, under date
of February 27, says it is re
ported from Luga that the Ger
man detachments which entered
that town a day or two ago are
leaving. The Russians, moving
to meet them, have turned to
ward the main railway and oc
cupied three small stations
within 12 miles of Pskov. Large
Russian detachments are con
centrating near Pskov. The
railway men are forming; parti
san detachments along the line.
From Smolensk comes the re
port that the Germans have met
with strong resistance within 16
versts (10.7 miles) from Orsha
and were forced to retire.
Direct information from Novo
Selie says that the Germans
have received orders to make
no further advance and the Ger
man cavalry patrols, which ap
peared at Novo Selie, have re
tired. According to the bolsheviki
headquarters in Petrograd fight
ing proceeded all Wednesday
morning for possession of Pskov
and a message from Luga says
it is definitely in Russian pos
session. Norgen Island, defending Re
val from the sea, is in Russian
hands snd the batteries have
fired on Reval, where there are
numerous German detachments.
PLATINUM SUPPLY
TO BE TAKEN BY U. S.
Precious Metal Growing Scarce
in This Country, and (govern
ment Must Have for War
Purposes.
Washington, March 1. Orders were
issued toda to commandeer for
war purposes of all crude and un
worked platinum in the hands of im
porters, jobbers and wholesalers.
Increasing need for platinum in the
manufacture of munitions, according
to officials, made this step imperative.
Chief Source Eliminated.
Commandeering will be carried out
through the War department. The
world supply of the metal is com
paratively small and production has
shown a steady decrease since the
war began. Internal troubles in Rus
sia virtually have eliminated the
world's chief source of supply.
In requisitioning only the crude and
unworked platinum, government of
ficials said they obtained for national
purposes the greatest part of the
metal now in this country for the
amount distributed to jewelers and
dentists is comparatively small. The
war committee of the jewelry trade
has been asked to ascertain how much
is now in the hands of manufacturing
jewelers, and if necessary they will
be asked to surrender it. There is
no intention of commandeering manu
factured platinum.
Census Being Made.
A census of the available platinum
is being Liade and until it is finished
officials will not know how much is
on hands. The largest importation
in recent years was 22,000 ounces col
lected in Russia by an American lieu
tenant attached to the embassy at
Petrograd and brought to this coun
try for government purposes. A ten
tative price of $90 an ounce was fixed
for that consignment.
The United States alone uses in
normal times about 165,000 ounces of
platinum and produces only about fiOO
ounces annually, according to the
United States geological survey.
Only about 5,000,000 ounces have
been produced in the world to date
of which 1,000,000 ounces have been
used in jewelry, 1,000,000 ounces in
dental work,' and the remainder for
scientific pu-poses. It is an essential
in the manufacture of sulphuric acid,
a constituent of explosives, and in
the composition of delicate gun
mechanisms.
Price for Binder Twin? Is
Agreed on by Manufacturers
Wasihngton. March 1. Under an
agreement of manufacturers of binder
twine and sisal importers, the food
administrator tonight announced the
maximum advance over cost of sisal,
which may be charged by the manu
facturers, the scale being based on
the present price of 19 cents a pound
for sisal fiber.
Standard and sisal binder twine
containing 500 feet to the pound
should be sold in carload bts of 20.-
000 pounds or more at a maximum ad
vance of 4 cents per pound above
the cost of sisal. Lots of 10,000
pounds or more, but less than 20,'
000 pounds, are to be sold at an ad
vance of not more than 4 cents per
pound and all amounts are to carry an
advance of not more than 4J4 cents
a pound.
No Women Operators.
Washington, March 1. Women as
pirants to radio operators positions
in the navy and naval reserve force
were notified by the department to
day that women are not desired for
such positions.

ner by Captain Richmond P. Hard

"What's your average weekly

"About $3,880," came the answer.
"Weekly weekly," repeated the
captain.
"About $3,880 the rookie added.
The captain sank back in his chair.
"What's your business," he in

"My business has been living a

was the answer. "I am specially

LABOR TO DO
ALL FOR WAR,
SAYS LEADER
Long Hours and Low; Wages

Gompers; Would Work

(By Associates' Press.)
Chicago, March 1.- Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
eration of Labor, made an appeal to
day in behalf of an eight-hour day
for employes in the meat packing in
dustry at the stock yards' wage ar
bitration. He appeared as a witness for the
employes and his testimony was eag
erly listened to by "Mother" Mary
ones, an organizer for the United
line Workers, and several hundred
other representatives of organized
labor from all section of the country.
After tracing the history of the
fight for a shorter working day, he
read from a number of reports and
quoted various large employers of
labor to substantiate his contention
that the eight-hour day in actual
operation had proved profitable to the
employe and highly beneficial to the
men.
Will Sacrifice AIL
In defining the attitude of organized',
labor toward the war, the witness
"Labor will make every sacrifice for
the successful prosecution of the war,
but it will not make any sacrifice for
private profiteering during the war."

Long Hours is Curse.
He declared the saloon in the "back

day and higher wages and that it

packers the money spent by, the stock

places will materially decrease.

hours and higher wages might in

He said exoenence in other indus
trial reenters had proved the reverse.
"It is the tong hours with low
wages that drive the men to drink,"
Mr. Gompers said, "inis is snown
to be sn economic truth. The fairly
well paid workmen, who is not re
quired to work more than eight hours
a day, finds more pleasure and com
fort at home, or visiting a theater
than he does in going to the saloon."
SAYSFAULWITH
CHICAGO DEPOT
QUARTERMASTER
(From a Staff Correspondent)
Washington, March L A special
cial Telegram,) -General Goethals, in
a letter to Congressman Lobeck, with
reference to bids for supplies at Camp
Dodge, says: "After examining fur
ther into the Question of purchasing
supplies at Omaha, I find the fault was
with tne depot quartermaster ai ni--cago,
notwithstanding he was re
quired to permit the merchants of
Omaha to bid on supplies for Camp
Dodge.
"This, I thinkj is now corrected and
I trust there will be ho further diffi
culty and that Omaha will get the
business that properly belongs to it
and which it formerly secured."
Colonel Grover, of the quartermas
ter's corp. told Congressman Lobeck
today that statements made to Gen
eral Goethals by Charles Pickens,
when in Washington the other day,
had gone far toward bringing to Gen
eral Goethals the realization ' that
gross discrimination against Omaha
had resulted by reason of his general
order, and convinced him that
changes were necessary.
Club Traffic Manager Is
Busy in Washington
Washington, D. C, March 1. (Spe
cial Telegram.) C E. Childe, traffic
manager of the Commercial club of .
Omaha, is in Washington for the first
time since he succeeded . J. Mc
Vann as traffic manager of the Oma
ha club.
Mr. Childe was busily engaged fee
ing Nebraska congressmen today in
behalf of the proposition of giving:
the Ihterstate Commerce commission
power to make rates in the railroad
bill now 'before the house..
A doubt was expressed today, by
many members, if the house would
retain the interstate commerce clause
in the bill when it reaches call on
final passage. They are inclined to
believe that the power to make rates
will be vested in the president, or in
a commission of his own creation.
