LOCAL MANUFACTURERS OPPOSE, SEVEN - HOUR WORKING DAY OPERATIONS IN PALESTINE ASSUME INCREASING IMPORTANCE OF PRIDE IF Ira Hot Rolls 2 for i MICHIGAN INN Pho-e 948-11t.601 E. Liberty' London, Jan. 24.-Arab activity against the Turks in the Palestine theatre of war is expected to show considerable results during the next few months. An official report on the Arab exploits against the Turks dur- ing the first six weeks of General Al- lenby's offensive in Palestine shows that the tribesmen confined themselves principally to raids on the Hedjaz railway, extending apparently from Doraa to Mann. This railway, at least in the part at- tacked, is not a line of communica- tion with Palestine but with Arabia. That the Arabs have shown a dispo- sition to cut what is in some sense a sacred railway is interesting, but that they were not able to venture cn more than sporadic forays seemed to indi- cate that their strength was not great. Meanwhile the Turks were able to -keep Medina without apparent diffi- culty, in spite of the efforts of the king of the Hedjaz. Reasons For Weakness The explanation for this Arab weak- ness is apparently partly their an- cient tribal quarrels and partly the uncertainty of the military situation, which has now been made secure by the British occupation of Jerusalem. An effort was made last March to bring about Arap operations on a large scale timed to coincide with Brit- ish operation, but the effort ?ailed ow- ing to the defection of one of the lead- ing chiefs, the head of the Schaamar tribe. The support of this tribe en- abled the Turks to maintain them- selves at Medina and keep the Hed- jaz line open. But the pro-Turkish Schaamar chief was killed a few weeks ago, and the tribe appears to be now on the point of rejoining the king of the Hodjaz. Arabs Expected To Rally The further the Turks are driven back. by the British under General Allenby, the more the Arab tribes, are expected to rally to the victor. Once the Hedjez railway is permanently cut, it is declared, all Arabia will be lost to the Turks. The left flank of the British army in Mesopotamia is raade secure, probably , jeopardizing large Turkish forces. The Qerman peace offer at Brest- Litovsk is taken by students of East- err affairs to indicate Germany's rec- ognition of the importance of the Brit- ish threat in the East. In fact, it has been frequently stated that the mili- tary importance of the British eastern victories is far more generally recog- nized in Germany than in England or America. MAY Drug Co.

LOUISE H INCKLE 215 East Liberty Local business men do not favor the seven-hour working day- for lab- orers, which Samuel Gompers, presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor, is advocating. The. Hoover company had not heard of Mr. Gompers' statement, and none of the laborers in the plant seemed anxious to follow out the idea. "A. seven-hour day for the working man," said one of the officers of the company, "would mean that we would have to work two or three shifts a day, which we could, not afford to do. Fu ther-- more, Idoubt whether any of our men could live on the wages he would get for the seven hours. I do not believe the movement will amount to any- thing.'' Other manufacturers of the city are of the same opinion, none of them -favoring the move, and all beliving that the- project is merely talk, and will not affect business hours.
