Villa is reported to be In the ex treme western: part of the town. while Angeles is commanding the troops which. are attacking the fed eral positions to the east of the town. ; There has been little fighting on the western side and It is believed that General Angeles is attempting to draw the greater part of General Gonzales' federal forces to the east. in order to permit Villa to penetrate through barbed wire entanglements which have been constructed to the southwest and west of thetown. At t o'clock the fighting again ceased and everything was quiet for more firing was again resumed around the town. I Federal forces on the eastern out skirts of the town were holding their positions bravely at -1:30 and 'the Villa forces on that side, commanded by General; Angeles, had made little advance up to that time General Gonzales transferred his military headquarters from the building on Lerdo avenue in the eastern part of town to the fort on the extreme west at 2 o'clock.

June 14. Organized labor, briaging to congress today in a public dem onstration its protest against prohibition-of beer and wine, gave warning that tht tranquil ity of tle working classes might be , ser iously menaced ry en forcement of the war-time pro hibition law. Samuel Gompers. head of the Anw-iican Federation of Labor. Raid he was "apprfht-nsive of results, fearing labor would not adjust itself to the new condi tions. Vhil he declarfd Jabor lead ers would do everything they could to. control the situation, he was unable to say "what in dividual workers will do." In a three hour meeting on the eastern steps of the capital, other advocates of wine and beer prohibition repeal protest ed that the provision was strik ing at the personal liberty of the masses and was taking from millions of workers an accus tomed part of their daily food. Although union officials pre viously had estimated more than 100.000 worker's would take part in the protest, the crowd did not . fill the capitol plaza. Among them were more than '100 women of the ftnti-prohibi-tion league, -organized in alti more and led by Mrs. E. Rooney "of San Fraacisco, who threw the meeting into a monetary tumult by mounting the speakers table and shouting that it would take ' a woman to "put across" per sonal liberty in the Unite States. CITY IS SCORED BYCOMSSION IN SIGNAL CASE If Municipality Will Enforce Speed Laws Wanimg Sign . J Not Needed RAILROAD 'WINS ACTION Public Service Commission Holds Sign Post Not Needed at North Capitol Crossing If the city ot Salem- will enforce Its speed ordinances there will be no need of a warning signal of any kind across the Southern Pacific tracks on North Capitol street, de clares. the public service commission in an order signed yesterday. dis missing the complaint of tbcty of Salem against the Southe-n Pacific company. 'The City of Salem filed complaint. asking that a wig wag signal. system be installed at this point where the Falls City branch crosses North Cap itol' street. The ctty alleged this to be one of the mist uanseroue rail road crossings in the city. "While it appears that. several ac cidents have occured at thla inter section., it Is ur opinion that these accidents were due to other causes than the phvsical condition of th crossing Itself, and incidentally, mat ters which are to some extent- with in the powe- of the plaintiff to rem edy." reads the- order. "Owing Ito the Improvement of Capitol street and the absence of street intersections for a consider able distance north of Union street there li a great tendency on the nart of automobile drivers to speed up and pass over . the crossing in question at a rate of speed greater than the city ordinances allow and nmrh faster than is conducive to safety. Furthermore, although an ample view may be had of approach ing trains, very few automooue ariv ers take the precaution of looking, and if they will not look nothing we mav do can protect them. It is also true that a moving fain should be seen more easily than a wig-wag signal, which device Is Intended for use only where the view of approach ing trains is badly obstructed. "It mav well be said that the citv of Salem Is scarcely in a position to complain of any hazard that may ex ist at the crossing here Involved. Un der , the" provisions of the law it is required to place and maintain at all crossings within the city advance warning signs, and is subject to a penalty for failure to ao so. un Ma-rh. 8. 1918. the common -council of Salem by resolution petitioned this body for relief from Installing such signs at various crossing with in the city, among which was In cluded the crbssing involved in this proceeding. Aft?r an investigation an order was issued relieving the city as to certain of the crossings but not br to the one here con cerned. However, without any au thority whatever, these !gns have since been -temoved.. We would most emphatically suggest that the pro vlslona of this act b complied with and these signs re-Installed at this crossing at' once.' i ELECTRICAL WORKERS TO STAY ON JOB - Orders Issued by Union Head Last Night Call Ofi Strike Which Threatened to Tie Up Nation's Telephones.
