DANISH STRIKE STILL IN EFFECT Employers and Workers Make Concessions-King Tractable April 4 Notwithstanding the removal of political obstacles and the announcement that the general strike had been called off it still continues to be effective.

The employes" organizations and the trade unions have not yet reached a definite agreement. Both yielded on many points but are faced by serious, perhaps insurmountable, difficulties through the uncompromising attitude of certain workers outside the trade unions organization. I.Icbe to Retire. Premier Liebe declared, upon the king's suggestion, that he desired to retire. The king will now ask former director of the Ministry of Justice Friis to form a cabinet with the understanding that the Rigsdag will resume its sessions as soon as possible and begin negotiations for an electoral bill.

The resignation of the Liebe ministry, after five days tenure of office means that the Socialists will consent to call off the general strike providing the new electoral bill Is carried through all the parliamentary stages before dissolution of the Rigs-dag and the new elections. Capital In Tumult. To find a parallel for the recent scenes witnessed in Copenhagen It would be necessary to go far back in Dannish history. The striking procession from the town hall to the palace Saturday was followed by thousands bearing red flags, who awaited with more or less Impatience the result of the visit of the deputa-. tion of councillors to the king.

This deputation imploring' the king to dismis3 the newly appointed minist-try, the monarch replied: 'I will negotiate on everything when the general strike is called off." A Socialist councillor Interjected, "it is too late. Your Majesty," and ell the social democrats present echoed his words. Meantime from outside the palace were heard shouts of "republic, long live social Democracy." These cries were redoubled when the deputation reappeared and Former Minister Staunning addressed the crowd from the steps of the palace, announcing the result of the conference with the king. The manifestrants. however.

soon dispersed in orderly fashion. Late Saturday night the scenes were renewed and the king evidently recognized the gravity of the situation when he summoned the various party leaders and heli conferences all night long. The new agreement grants am nesty for all political oueiuscs concedes all the electoral reforms de- ands by the Social Democrats, ah the party leaders promised to co-op-crate with the new ministry formed to carry out this program.

REDS SCATTER; DUISBURG QUIET Reichwehr roops Enter City After Hard Strug gle-Move Uncertain (By The Associated Press). DUISBURG, Rhenish Prussia, Apri 4. Easter brought real peace to Duis burg Ater heavy fighting, the Government troops, which reached here early yesterday, were' today combing the country, where the scat tered Reds are believed to nave fled.

How far south and east the troops ill go depends on how te Reds act. It is not intended to proceed to Essen or Dusseldorf unless there are unexpected developments. Military control will be maintained here only until the authorities are satisfied of the stability of civilian administration. Troops Battled 1 I neas in oireeis i DUISBURG, Rhenish Prussia, April I s. By Courier to Dusseldorf.

by the Associated Press Reichswehr troops inarched Into the Duisburg region to day and cleared out the radical element of the Red army in pitched battles In the streets. Machine gun and rifle bullets swept the business district like a driving rain, artillery threw solid shot and shrapnel and hand grenades were tossed. There was house to house fighting in some quarters. Four citizens were killed and a number were Injured. The Reichswehr and Red casualties, it is officially announced were light.

Heavy Fighting In Streets. A detachment of police undertook to search houses for resisting Reds while the Government artillery took up a position north of the old gates of Duisburg, from which spot it placed shots where the Reds were grouped, principally in the High school grounds. The first shots between the Ka-bisch forces and the Reds were fired in Kaiserbers, on yie eastern edge of the Fighting soon followed in the downtown streets of Duisburg, the Reichswehr advancing from corner to corner, driving the Reds before them. The heaviest firing was in Sonne-wall street. The Reichswehr entered the street at the north end from an-open square with machine guns.

The Reds, wtih their machine guns, stood at a range of 50 yards. The sweeping fire of both sides shivered half the store windows. The gutters were piled high with glass so pulverized that it resembled piles of drifted shaved ice when the shop keepers later in the evening swept the sidewalks to the accompaniment of machine gun fire in the southern and eastern outskirts. Remnants of the melting Reds gathered around Bismarck's monument, fled when the troops charged. Barricades erected in Kasslerfelder street, where many aliens reside were cleared out by shrapnel.

The Reds, who numbered only two or three hundred, were driven out within two and a half hours, but desultory fighting continued into the night, as small nests of the Reds were located and cornered. The number of Reds captured is not announced. The correspondent saw Reds who had been captured passing through the streets with their hands in the air. Citizens said that Reds were executed, but this is denied. No burtal acts were observed.

The city, which had lived in a state of fear for three weeks, took the matter coolly. The street cars continued operation in all parts of the town except where the fighting was hot. but cellars were popular. Three of the citizens killed were hit by a Government shell which went wild and wrecked a house; the fourth was cut down by artillery in the street. Great damage was done to stores and places of business, some of which were wrecked and many badly cut up by bullets.

Disaster Ahead Unless Expenses are Kept Down Mondell Declares BOND ISSUES OPPOSED April 4. Government expenditures have exceeded the revenues "from ail sources" by more than $200,000,000 during the first nine months of this fiscal year, and the reduction of $706,000,000 in the noting debt last month is but a "temporary" condition. Representative Mondell, Wyoming, Republican leader, declared today in a statement. Economy alone, he said, could avert a "calamitous crisis." Has More Certificates Immediately upon the "temporary reduction" in the floating debt, Mr. Mondell declared the treasury was -in the market for further loans and this month must dispose of a further large volume of temporary certificates." Citing the two and one-half billion dollar war deficit as "not covered by bonds or provided for by current revenues," the Republican leader said that such a sura to be carried by short term notes was -a erlous menace at any time." and particularly when the country was trying to recover from the war.

Disaster Inevitable Treasury officials, the statement continued, "have handled a trying tituation most admirably," but they "cannot avert until we keep public expenditures within our income." Congress, Mr. Mondell predicted, would grant appropriations for the next year of $1,250,000,000 less than estimated by Government departments, which asked for approximately $5,000,000,000 for all purposes. Opposes Bond Issues "Further bond issues," concluded the statement, "could only be floated at greatly increased interest rates at the cost of a considerable reduction ia the market value of outstanding Government securities, with the grave danger of wrecking the specie basis of our currency, with the certainty of Increasing the price of commodities and further enhancing the cost of living. Under these conditions a further bond issue ia unthinkable." REFUSE tO LET FIREMEN QUIT Resignations of 1,250 Department Members Will Not be Accepted CHICAGO, April 4.

Only Two Lines Entering City Unaffected by Switchmen's Strike IMPERIL FOOD SUPPLY CHICAGO, April 4. Police details tonight were guarding railroad yards in the Chicago switching district at the request of railroads affected by the strike of switchmen, called by the Chicago yardmen's association. All railroads entering Chicago, with the exception of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy, and the New York Central, were said by union or-flcers to be affected by the strike, and efforts were being made to Induce switchmen on those roads to join the walkout, they said. The strike, starting when 700 switchmen employed by the Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul walked out.

demanding an increase In pay from 60 and 65 cents per hour to 95 cents and $1, spread yesterday to the Chicago Junction railroad, which serves the stock yards and the Illinois Central and Chicago and Northwestern railroads. Union officers said switchmen on other railroads were joining the walkout voluntarily and that no general strike had been called. The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, with which the railroads have Working agreements, has declared the strike illegal. The strike of 350 switchmen of the Chicago Junction railroad was said to have crippled the transportation facilities of the stock yards, only a few cars entering the yards yesterday and none going out. "Unless the strike can be stopped immediately it will affect interstate commerce, throw 150,000 men out of employment and curtail teh food supply of the nation," W.

J. O'Brien, general manager of the Junction railway said. According to. union representatives no efforts to settle the strike have been made. Strike leaders tonight claimed that 9,000 switchmen and yardmen were on strike and that the transportation service in Chicago was on a 25 per cent, basis.

Railroad oficers, however, declared the handicap In hauling freight was due more to the snow storm than the strike. The executive committee of th general managers' association and officers of the Brotherhoodl of Rail way Trainmen issued a statement placing the controversy up to the labor board authorized under the re cent transportation act. The statement said that the railroad had contracts with the two union organizations, whose officers had agreed to carry them out until the wage question was disposed of by the labor board. FIGHT FOR PEACE TO BEJjENEWED House Members Planning Vote of Resolution Declaring War WASHINGTON, April 4. The fight in Congress over formal termination of the war will be renewed this week.

With the lailure of the Senate to ratify the peace treaty, the House will vote on a resolution, put forward by Republicans, declaring the war ended. There, were Indications today, however, that this might result in further developments in con nection with the treaty, possibly Its resubmission to the Senate by the President as the administration's counter-move. The peace resolution is to be brought before the House Thursday with a rule calling for a vote Friday. Republicans believe its adoption is assured, while Democrats declare It certainly will be vetoed by President Wilson without prospects of obtaining a two-thirds vote to over-ride the veto. In many well-informed quarters the impression is growing that either before or more probably along with a veto mesage the President might return the treaty to the Senate with affirmative expression regard-! ing reservations.

Although Democrats plan a rigor-' ous fight on the resolution, they virtually are without hope of preventing its adoption in both House and Senate. LAKE FLEETS DAMAGED SANDUSKY, Ohio, April 4. Fishing interests sustained heavy damage here lat today by high winds followed by a sleet sorm. Many nets set In Lake Erie were ruined with valuable catches.

Hays, chairman of the Republican national committee, by Judson F. Wriuht. nresident of the New York state Teachers' association, William T. McCoxy, chairman of the Illinois Schools committee and Olive M.

Jones, president of the New lork Principals' association. Look Into Future. Teachers are "not attempting dictate." Mr. McCoy said, "but Willi the likelihood of woman suffrage becoming a law, thus giving the vote to SO per cent of the 600,000 teachers in America, ther feel that their vot should go to the party that most definitely pledges itself to remove educational limitations from the chil dren of the country. Teachers havs r.ever been in politics but they are alive to the situation as they never have been before and are going to the polls next November with that situation uppermost in their minds." Public Schools "This delegation represents the 32.000 of Illinois and the 53.0)0 teachers of New York," the petition declared, and added, "we may In a way claim to represent the educational forces of the nation." There Is a "great and growing de tcrioation In public education which threatens the efficiency of education because of deficiency In educational funds.

Where only women and children were left in the barracks or huts the raiders gave warning of their intentions; hence there were no casualties. All Destruction Folly. At Dublin Castle tonight it was stated that the destruction of the tax records would avail nothing; all citi-l zens whose records have been des- troyed will be rc-assesed, and their taxes are likely to be increased by the need of fund to replace the bar- I racks and huts destroyed.
