LAUNDRY HEAD HERE TO DIRECT UNION'S CAUSE
With the arrival of James F. Brock, president of the International Laundry Workers' Union in Richmond this morning, a conference will be held tonight for the purpose of adjusting the troubles between the management of the Richmond Union Laundry and he employees who for two weeks have been on a strike. The intermediary committee which was appointed to act in behalf of the strikers was busy today arranging for the meeting tonight. They proposed
to invite the managers of the laundry
to attend the meeting which will prob
ably be held in the Central Labor Council hall on South Sixth street, and also the eighteen employes -who refused to work unless the contract was
signed.
It is believed, that in the event the
management ".oes not swerve in its de
cision to refuse the proposal-. Involved in the contract, that Mr. Brock will sueeest other means through which
the employes can return to their work.
Arbitration of the difficulties will bring a satisfactory adjustment, it is
believed.

EFFICIENCY (Continued From Pane One.l
engineer. He had been in Richmond
two days making an appraisement of the privately owned plant so that he
could submit an itemized valuation.
The commission having previously re
refused to accept his first estimate which took the plant as a whole on the
kilowatt basis. Wver estimated the
present value of the plant to be $178,
565 and the cost to reproduce would
be $242,048.
The commission's engineers estab
lished a present value of $166,500 and
the citv introduced testimony lai
week that the present value was only
$150,000. Wyer did not estimate any
going value today but last week he estimated this to be $43,000. At noon the hearing of the city's condemnation proceedings came to a close and it is now up to the commission to establish
a purchase valuation but it will probably be several months before this is
done.
This afternoon the hearing of the
city's petition to reduce electric rates in Richmond begins. This hearing
will probably conclude Friday.
In the presentation of the city's case
in the condemnation proceedings city
Attornev Bond has not made an lm
Dressive showing and other officials
who are attending the hearing private
ly admit that it was a big mistake for
Bond to have closed nis case wun Kleinknecht on the witness stand. His testimony damaged rather than benefited the city's interests.
FIREWORKS DEALERS
BUY SMALL ORDER,
Anticipating the gradual decline in
the demand for fireworks, merchants of - th city who handle such goods
have laid in the shortest supply this
year ever recorded. One of the lead
ing dealers In fireworks said today It
was only a question of a few years
until there would be practicauy u
mand for the noisy crackers. He sait
he received only a few calls for tin
more dangerous varieties which it was
almost impossible to buy in the citj.
Lven the fireworks purchased fo;
their illuminating effects are declining
in popularity
STREET IMPROVEMENT
BLOCKS LADDER TRUCK
Because North Fifth street is torn
up for improvements, the city fire department will be deprived of the use of the new aerial ladder truck until July 15. The condition of North Fifth
street would make it impossible to get the new equipment in and out of
the station without danger of wreck
ing it. Work on North A street has
also blocked Chief Miller's plans to place the truck in the east end sta
tion and try it out.
MOTHER GETS MONEY
Alex Sam sent all the money he had.
except enough to purchase a little
liquor, to his mother, then bought the
liquor and today admitted to Prose'
cutor Reller that he did not have
money enough to 'furnish a bond to
answer to the charge of public intoxi
cation. Sam and Joseph Slower who
was arrested on a similar charge were instructed to report at police court Saturday morning, when Mayor Robbins returns from Indianapolis.
0NMACKENSEI1 MADE FIELD MARSHAL FOR CAMPAIGN IN GALICiA
BERLIN, June 24. This city is bedecked with flags today while the capital is still celebrating the fall of Lemerg. which political circles declare the
,rushing moral and political defeat of
;zarism and Pan-Slavism. Military xperts believe the Russians will try
form fresh troops behind another
ine of defenses back of Lemberg.
Gen. Von Mackensen who has been
nade a field marshal by Emperor Wil-
iam is the hero of the hour.
Rumors that Russia had sued for peace as a result of the reverses suffered in Galicia led the kfficial North
German Gazette to publish the following: "Notwithstanding the report to the contrary during the war no hostile government has directly or indirectly approached German with peace offers. The imperial government knows nothing of the preparedness of any hostile government to make peace."
City Statistics
CHIEF BULLETINS CLOSED STREETS
So many of the city's streets and intersections are torn up that Fire Chief Miller's bulletin board is hardly large enough tohold the list of closed streets which is posted on t the north side of the fire department so drivers of city fire apparatus will not be delaped in reaching calls by running into some closed thoroughfare and being compelled to back out.

r.'Et.'DERS OF UlilOllS
ORGANIZE COMPANY TO PUBLISH PAPER
Plans arranged by the board of con
trol of the Central Labor body, for the
permanent organization of stockholders to manage and publish the Labor
Herald, will be carried out notwith
standing that lack of attendance at
the meeting last night prevented the members submitting their proposal to the consideration of the council. The members of the board of coutrol have already placed two or three petitions for subscriptions for stock in circulation it-Is understood. Between
five and ten thousand dollars worth of stock will be sold. It is proposed that the editorial policy remain in the hands of Lucius Harrison but the business involved In the- publication of the edition will be managed by thu board of directors elected by the stockholders. Small blocks or stock will be sold to union labor sympathizers. The board of control, the members of which will be elected annually, will dictate the policy of the paper as it relates to the affairs of organized labor in Richmond. The change in management is considered wise in view of the fact that the Central I.abor Council changes its personnel semi-annually and it is desired that the Herald be placed upon a permanent basis to assure its success. The Board of Control issued a call
for a meeting last night at the council hall, but very few of the members were present. Since full power has been vested in the board of control, they are privileged to carry out the plans they have decided upon.
INSPECTS BASEMENTS
Basements on Main street between Ninth and Tenth streets are in good condition, according to Building Inspector Hodgin who made an inspection this morning. Hodgin found all wiring in good condition and all premises clear of trash and fire hazards with one or two exceptions where he made recommendations for better conditions.
WOMAN INJURED Mrs. Mary Olmetzer, 89 John street, was slightly injured yesterday afternoon when struck by the fence about the Dickinson Trust company's site at Eighth and Main streets. Workmen were moving a portion of the temporary protection when one end of.it brushed Mrs. Olmetzer's arm, bruising it slightly.
CITY LOSES HORSE. When a horse driven by Alf Nolte, member of the city trash hauling de-
j partment. sank in the Fourth street
dump early today, a tendon in tne animals hind leg was so badly severed by broken pieces of glass that the horse was ordered killed. The dump is soft and spongy and when Mr. Nolte drove on it the horse sank above his knees into the debris.

sian army is still unbroken
point has the enemy been able to pierce our lines. Our soldiers' spirit Is unbroken and they are confident of final victory." In these words today Minister of War Soukhomlinoff epitomized the general feeling in Petrograd as to the war situation. The loss of Lemberg has not caused any feeling of pessimism.
Several Richmond educators are in Lafayette attending the state confer ence on Agriculture and Home Economics educational work. Among those who are attending are County Superintendent Williams, Trustee. J. O. Edgerton, Harold Williams and Florence E. Williams.
