Electric locks and automatic
bolts on the front doors of cheap
lodging and rooming houses in
Tacoma, which have delayed po-
lice officers in making searches
for liquor this year, are going to
be torn out.
missioner Petit issued an
order Wednesday demanding that
all such places keep their doors
unlocked at all hours of the day
and night.
The electric locks and bolts
must be removed, and if not
taken out promptly the police will
tear them from the doors.
Observer Inspects Them
A large number of houses, sus-
pected by the police Of being blind
pigs and resorts for fallen women,
are equipped with locked doors
half way up the front steps. A
person wishing to gain entrance
must ring a bell.
Observers at the top Of the
stairs peep down upon him
through the glass upper part of
the door, before touching the
electric button that releases the
lock.
In the case of policemen at
tempting to enter the hotels, on
raids or general inspection, the
automatic locks are not released
until occupants of the various
rooms have had time to secrete
all liquor, and in some instances,
hide themselves.

LEAGUE

Calling the Municipal Civil
Service league an "autOcratic
union of city employees who
think they can run the city
hail." Mayor Fawcett launch
ed a fight against the new Or
ganiZatiOn Wednesday, with
the avowed intention Of kill
ing it.
The league was formed two or
three weeks ago by $50 city en-
ployes.
Police Clerk Max Garretson,
one of the leaders, who was named
president, has announced several
times that the league was not a
union" in the common meaning
of the word, but was social and
educational society organized for
the purpose of protecting civil
service IN Tacoma. t-''ss------=-
For Civil Service.
There is no possible excuse for
such a league" declared Fawcett
Wednesday. "These clerks have
organized a union, and they will
try to pull off strikes and walk
outs and other demonstrations If
they don't get their own way.
81 have heard the inside of the
thing, and believe me, it has to
stop.
1.-THE entire city council is
strong for civil service. We are
going to continue strengthening
it. But the employees of the city
of Tacoma can't do 1t, and there
is no use in their trying any au-
tocratic methods, either.
Mayor After League.
"This league is going to be
broken up. I'm going after it hot
and heavy. Do you know what a
speaker told them at their last
meeting? He said taht You en-
ployes are running the city of Ia
coma. You own your jobs. Now
get busy and hold the commission
ers accountable to you. You're as
much a part of the city govern
ment as they are
at would be fine sort of city
government If the clerks and po-
licemen and stenographers and all
the other employees came up here
and told us how to run things.
I'm going into this fight just
as | have other fights, and the
league might as we'll disband right
now. There's going to be trouble
If ii continues"

CRONEN FOR CIVIL
SERVICE, he SAYS

nothing to weaken the civil serv-
ice system.
Commissioner Gronen now
makes equally plain that he is an
out-an-out advocate of civil serv-
ice.
Re-classifies Employees.
Among other reasons" SAYS
he, why l would favor it is that
it furnishes the best kind of a
buffer between the commission
ers and cheap office-seekers."
Gronen has just completed an
entire new classification of the
employees in the light and water
departments, something the civil
service authorities have been ask
ing for years, and was highly
complimented by the board, to
which he presented the new list,
for his service.
He says he will do everything
in his power to build up the
strength of the municipal service
system.
Opposed to Ellsworth.
However, Gronen is frank in
his statement that he is opposed
to the retention in office of Sec
rotary Ellsworth, of the civil serv-
ice board.
He maintains that Ellsworth's
attitude is one of continual OPP
position to the commissioners !;
that he foments trouble among
employees; that he is slipshod in
his business methods; and that he
discredits rather than helps along
the cause of civil service.
Gronen is going to join with
other commissioners in asking the
icvil service board to induce Ellis
worth to step out in the interest
of city hall harmony.

ALI IS
OF 7 O
Acc !; pr

Omitted Press Leased WireD
LONDON, Dec. %. - The
allies certainly will not ac-
cept Germany's proposal in
her note to America for an
immediate peace conference.
That was entirely clear today.
But the Teutonic reply to Pres
ident Wilson's note was hailed
as affording splendid opportun-
ity for England and her allies to
set before the world a statement
which would epitomize concrete
ly the ideals and aims of the en-
tente powers in the war.
BY her lack of responsiveness
and the inconclusive nature of her
reply, England holds Germany is
self-convicted of lack of sincerity
in her peace offers.
England intends to tell the
world exactly what she is fighting
for.
Her answer to President Will
sons note suggesting that bellig-
erents in the great war define
their peace terms will be clear
outline of the objects which Great
Britain and her allies hope to at
tain.
That this sort of a note is now
in process of formulation was
learned on unquestioned author
ity by the United Press this after
noon.
The British public was inn
pressed by the fact that the
suggestions i'm Germany's re-
ply nevertheless reveal an
Over-weening desire for peace.
Lloyd-George's plans for con,
centTation and conservation of al
En- glands efforts for war, mean.
T, while, are continuing.
Pursuant to the promise made
in his speech in commons, out.
lining the aims of the new gov.
eminent on Dec. 10 the premier
has issued a call, through the sec.
rotary of state for the colonies fol
conference of the premiers OF
