WASHINGTON, March 14.--Of-
ficial statements from Consul Frost
at Queenstown confirmed the reported
sinking of the American steamer AL
gonquin and stated that the ship was
Summarized without warning. No
complications are expected, however,
as the Algonquin carried foodstuffs,
which are held to be contraband
Consul Frost's message to the state
department said all members of the
crew were safe.
1t Is declared that the sinking Of
the ship is direct violation of Ameri'
can rights, as American lives were en-
dangered, but 1t Is certain that no ad-
ditional trouble with Germany can be
precipitated by this infringement, as
the United States already has taken
every step against that country save
direct declaration of war.

The San Francisco Strike Retards War Progress

ships on "cost plus" basis. Further
more, a news dispatch from Washington
said that the strike had not been approved
by the headquarters Of the American Fed

several occasions expressed the loyalty of
labor to the government, as contrasted
with the attitude Of the |. w. w.

action by denying the right of naturaliza-
ton thereafter and by threatening depor-
tation. To this proposition, as to some OF
the Senate's drastic suggestions, various
yapers take exception, insisting that only
.air and broad minded action should be the
basis of the alien draft bill, much as 1t IL

This strike involved 10000 workers in

government shipping to the extent OF
s15O,0O0 900. According to news item
in "The San Francisco Chronicle" the
workers involved struck for what they
claim is an average wage increase of 80
per cent, on the ground of the increased
cost of living. The industries include not
only shipbuilding, but as well the can
manufactures, whose output is vital to

engine manufactures, boiler shops and
pipe works. Sheet metal workers, struct-
ural iron workers and aeroplane builders
are also included in the strike order.
"If it is true" "The Houston Chroni-
Gle" hints, chat the metal trades me-
chanics of San Francisco struck, not be-
cause of any grievance of their own but
to show sympathy with the railroad men,
their action must be catalogued as i'm
proper and unpatriotic."
And "The st. Louis Republic" sees SYM
pathy with the lumber trades of the North
west, because lumber cut by men without
union cards is being used by Pacific Coast
yards in Fastening shipbuilding, labor has

be at the bottom of the strike it is at this
moment impossible to say" ominously

Color is lent to the theory that the
streetcar strike might have influenced the
shipbuilders by the statement of Presi-
dent I.ilientha of the United Railroads,
who said that the day following the
strike "was the worst day the United
Railroads had had since the (its) strike
began" And further "The San Fran

to make a demonstration against the United

quart, the retailer receiving ten cents. A
committee of the Boston Chamber of Com

nothing less than immediate draft
ing Of aliens. That is the general tone of
the press since the Chamberlain resolu-
ton was introduced, together with Sena-
tor Brandegee's amendment to cure the
two defects of the original draft scheme.
The Chamberlain resolution will permit
the drafting of aliens who have lived
year in this country, save those who are
protected by treaty provisions. 1t will also
