Berne Feb. 22.—Following Chan¬ cellor Scheidemann's formal declar¬ ation of war against the Sp&rtacana yesterday, the national assembly with the exception of the Indepen¬ dent socialists parsed the following resolution, according to a Weimar dispatch  today.
"The tJerman people, who laid down their arms only after accept¬ ance of ITesldent Wilson's fourteen IKjints, awaits a peace of right.
"The Rational assembly asks per¬ mission to use all means lo defend th^ country against the Bolshevlk.s.
'It protests against the entente's maintenance of tho hunger block¬ ade, detention of raw materials and refusal to release German prisoners. Such things arc driving the people to des-'peratlon. The assembly sol¬ emnly protests to the world.''

Pittsburg. Feb. 22.—At least nine persons were killed and about 75 were Injured here tonight when Versailles local train N'o. 1S6 on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, running at about 40 miles an hour, crashed Into two locomotives at Second avenue and Swinebourne street.
The two locomotives wero coupled together and running backward when they ran Into an open switch and out on the main line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad into the path ot the speeding passenger train.
Three coaches of the passenger train were ripped open and completely de¬ molished by the impact. Wreckage was  hurled  in     every    direction    and
from every hospital in the city, gave | first aid treatment to the injured who j were   later  taken   to   the   hospital.     A | few,  resldins  in    or  near   Pittsburgh, were able to go to their homes.
The   first   body   removed   from   the I wreckage,  brought    to    the Allegheny I county morgue in a police patrol wag¬ on,  was  that  of an  unidentified man His  body  was crushed beyond recog¬ nition-
Nine bodies had b^en taken from i the wrecltage at midnight and remov- j ed to the Allegheny county morgue.       !
Police and firemen continued the I search for additional bodies, believed ! to be in the debris.

coaches were hurled into Second avenue, over a 15 foot embankment.
Panic ensued among the living pass¬ engers as they were hurled from their seats by the force of tho collision. Lights were extinguished and the survivors struggled furiously to re- leaso themselves from the splintered cars. Aid was rushed to the scene and ambulances from a number of hos¬ pitals were summoned.

that began flye months ago. The major demands of the men were ap¬ proved. They wer»» not gi\en a firty- four hour week as tbey demanded but the board instructed both the em¬ ployers and the men to arrange the j work so that Saturday of every week would be a half holiday.
l.'nder the decision of the War Ijibor the hourly workers were given an iucreaae of fceventeen and one-)>alf j per cent. The piece workers were ad- ' \-anced ten per cent. The.se increases i nor only go into ffect at once but they also date from October 1. 1918. This provision will result in the men re¬ ceiving hundreds of dollars In back p.-ty from the eight companies. The board gives the employers until April 1   to   pay   the   men   for   all   arrears.
Owing to many of the bodies of the dead being badly crushed, it was al¬ most an Impossible task to Identify them. Only three bodies in the Al¬ legheny county morgue had been identified at an early hour this morn¬ ing.
Shrieks and groans from the mangled victims filled the air and a great throng of spectators was drawn to the scene. Police reserves were compelled to fight off the morbidly curious as well as many relatives and friends of persons known or thought to have been passengers on the wreck¬ ed train.
Scores    of    physicians,     summoned
an automobile along Second avenue when the wreck occurred. Their auto¬ mobile was damaged and they were slightly Injured by flying splinters from the wrecked coaches. They gave ^'al- uablc aid In attending the injured.
Among the injured taken to the hos¬ pital were:
Grace Lecke, McKeesport. severely Injured about head, shoulders and body.
Mra. Clara Bertolln. 45. McKeesport. aunt of T.rf;cke girl, crushed and cut about head, shoulders and left leg.
Mrs. Robert Heard. McKeesport. cut and bruised, liusband and baby are also in the hospital seriously injured.
Inez Robinson, 23, McKeesport. cut and bruised about head and body.
Mrs. M. A. Evans, 63, McKeesport. and her daughter .\nette, seriously in¬ jured. Her husband, a well known physician of McKeesport. is missing.
.Mrs. Abraham UnkofT. 20, McKocs- port, condition serious.
Helen Jones, 19. Mount Washington, bruised and cut.
Shorll.v after 1 o'clock this morning the police announced that all the dead and wounded had been removed from the wreck.
Nine bodies were in the Allegheny county morgue and approximately 75 injured persons nad bcin sent to hos¬ pitals, the police said.

Robert Smillie. president o*. the Miners' Federation, told the I.'nited Press today, however, that "Lloyd George's proposals thus far have not lessened teh certainty of a miners' strike and that he has not shown any disposition to meet us even half way regarding wages and houiv."
The Premier, according to Smillie, has offered an advance in wages equiv¬ alent to in the increased cost of liv¬ ing since 1914 "which is not satisfac¬ tory."
"He WiU not pledge nationalization of the mines," said Smillie, "merely promising to Introduce a bil in Par¬ liament creating a commttee to in¬ vestigate the desirability of such a thing. He mu.st make a definite pledge. He Is non-committal regard¬ ing payment of wages to jobless" .-ind demobilized miners. He said it is re¬ garded as a national question, affect¬ ing not only miners, but all workers. We agree regarding the scope of the question, but demand that the govern¬ ment act,"
Smillie said that while tho final vote wa? not yet counted, he believed it was at least eight to one in favor of the strike. He characterized the TOvening Standard statement as un¬ true.
