ULTIMATUM IS, DELIVERED Nearly Half Million in Berlin Are Reported Idle?Likewise at Kiel Workmen Leave Jobs to Join in Strike. Transcending in interest even the great victory of the Italians over the Austrians on the northern Italian battle front is the political and economic situation in Germany. Here, apparently, a large part of the country is in the throes of a great labor upheaval, due to dissatisfaction by the working classes over the progress of the peace negotiations and over internal political conditions generally. Throughout the country thou sanas upon mousanas 01 cne wor&uig classes?both men and women?have struck and many of the great manaufactories and industries are affected. ' In Berlin alone nearly half a million persons are reported on strike, and hourly those who have quit worlc are receiving reinforcements. Likewise, in Kiel, the great shipyard center at the Hamburg: Iron works, and in the Rhenish Westphalian mine region workers have thrown down their tools and left their jobs. Led by Socialists. Leaders of the socialists?both of the independent and the majority factions?evidently are in control of the movement and for their pains a number of the independents have been ordered imprisoned. Hugo Haase of the independents, and Philipp Scheidemann, majority socialist leader in th-3 reichstag, are heading their respective followers. Ultimatum Delivered. The socialist paper Vorwaerts announces that the Berlin strikers have now become more numerous and threatening. They have addressed to the government an ultimatum of which the following are the principal demands : "First, accelated conclusions of a general peace without indemnities or annexations. "Second, participation ot workingmens' ^-delegates of all the countries in $ie pefice pourparlers. "Third amelioration of the food situation by better distribution. "Fourth, immedi?te abolition of the state o'f siege and restqration of the right of public meetiqgsv,suspended by military authorities. . . "Fifth., abolition of militarization of war factories. "Sixth, immediate release of all po Utical prisoners. "Seventh, fundamental democratlxation of state institutions. COAL FAMINE NOW THREATENS THE EAST Snow and Ice Storms Still Hamper Transportation. Washington.?Large sections of the east face a coal famine within the next few days as a result of further hampering of railroad transportation by snow and ice storms. Imports reaching the railroad and fuel administrations showed New England, parts of Pennsylvania and districts along the Atlantic seaboard In worse condition, and there were indications that many industries would be forced to stop operations for a few days for lack of fuel. No new orders for a general industrial shutdown are planned by the fuel administration, but the preferential treatment of coal shipments for domestic consumption, for ships and essential industries will continue. An extension of the freight embargo might be considered by the railroad administration to assist railroads move coal, it was explained, except for the fact that very little general freight is now being accepted for eastward movement by any lines. HINDENBURG WARNS GERMAN STRIKERS Amsterdam.?The Rheineische Westfalische Zeitung, of Essen, a copy of which has been received here, reports that Field Marshal von Hindenburg has warned the strikers in Berlin to cease their movement immediately. Wo afl Id "Every hour you lose means the weakening of Germany's defense. You are committing a crime against our army and an act of cowardice against your brethren in the front trenches.** RAILROAD RATES ARE TO BE INRCEASED. Washington.?In deciding the intermountain rate case tjie interstate commerce commission authorized transcontinental railroads to increase rates rrom eastern points to mine seaport cities to the level of the rates now prevailing to inter-mountain points. Then simultaneously the commission refused to allow railroads to cancel existing commodity rates and shipments of loss than a carload and apply higher ''las^ rates. f ttt'MJlL MH'H.K* STItAYEI)?From my residem ? on Thursday one fine Plvmct'.i Roc!; : rooster.
