Hirt are in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Hirfs brother, Henry Koessler, who is in Sierras Bayas, Argentine, in which he gives some of the effects of the war cn industries in that city.

In tne kilns they are burning ordinary bran, such as is used for feed here. They use about 250 tons every 21 hours for each kiln. He says they have a bountiful supply of com in the Argentine and the change over is a boon to the corn producers in South America.

today.

Negotiations were suspended last night, and Federal Mediator James J Spillane left for Washington. He said Dr. John R. Steelman, chief of the Federal Conciliation Service, had summoned him “to report.” When negotiations would be resumed was not announced, but it was indicated they would not be until Spillane had conferred with Steelman anti further federal action had been planned. The United Automobile Worker, (CIO) involved in a factional dispute with the United Automobile Workers (AFL) at the Hillsdale plant, submitted a new peace proposal. offering to return to work 26 of its fired members got their jobs back and the government appointed an impartial referee to determine whether the dismissals were justified.

LONDON, Oct. 14 (UP) Run sian and German forces are fighting a ferocious and possibly decisive battle in the Borodino area, 70 miles from the outskirts of Moscow, w’here Napoleon 129 years ago won the battle which opened the way to the cK., but cost him his empire, authorits* live informants said today. Advices received here said the Germans had driven their massed tank wedges to Mozaisk, only 63 miles from the suburbs of Moscow and seven miles closer to the capital than Boro lino, but it was added that the Russians, presenting a stone wall defense, had thrown the Germans back with heavy losses. The Germans were reported driving with all their strength on a narrow front in an attempt to exploit recent gains. At Mozhaisk, it was said, the Germans met a powerful and determined Russian force which stopped them and then threw them out of the village. Heavy fighting was reported continuing in the vicinity. The Germans were reported to bit making "some progress” in a new drive toward Moscow from the Rzhev area, 136 miles to the northwest. In the Bryansk-Orel sector, where the Germans were driving on the Russian capital from the southwest, it was reported authoritatively that despite the strength and savagery of the attack the Russians appeared to have the situation in hand. Authoritative advices said that the battle on the central front, nearing the end of its second week, was moving to a crisis and that the Germans were making every effort to gain a decision quickly. They were centering all their striking power in the central area, ic was said, end for the moment at least the drive from the Rzhev direction was secondary. Train Leaders For (drI Scouts
