Washington, Aug. i6.--Grave men,
ace to industries whose continuation
at high speed is deemed vital to the
prosecution of the war. is seen by Of
ficials here in the growing activities
of Industrial Workers of the World
leaders on the Pacific coast and in the
far northwest.
The movement apparently is near
ing its maximum and the full scope
of its possibilities is not minimized
here. A pretentious program calling
for strikes, lockouts and general dis
turbances over seven states. or one-
fourth of the area of the country, has
been brought to the attention of the
department of justice by scores of ex-
pert field investigators now in the
affected territory.
Drastic Action Assured
Swift and drastic action to check
the movement, insofar as it would
cripple industries or curtail produc-
ton of commodities necessary for war,
Is planned by department of justice
officials.
Prosecution of strike leaders. where
justified in the opinion of the depart
ment, on charges of conspiracy or
under the espionage act, is contem-
plated in specific cases, but no gen
eral prosecution Of /. w. w. leaders is
expected.
The entire mICement, eliminating

kane of James Rowan, district secre-
tary of the organization, that gem
cral strike would be called August 20
in Washington, oregon, Montana and
Idaho unless certain demands were
complied with, is regarded by many
officials as being political and not a
labor movement.
Promise Prosecutions.
District attorneys in the four states
affected, as well as in California, Ari-
zona and New Mexico, have been in
structed to devote unceasing atten-
ton to the situation and to institute
prosecutions promptly where justi-
fled.
Officials here were much interested

our rights as we see them and a
more immediate association with the
great struggle itself"
While the arming of merchant
men is the step most considered, it
is pointed out that the president has
the right to convoy American YES
sells. This course has been opposed
by the Navy Department., however,
principally for strategical reasons.
Another step suggested is that the
shipping board take as naval auxil--
iaries and send them aboard.
The President has been inclined
to believe that certain old statutes
still in force might prevent him
from furnishing guns to merchant
men, but some of his advisers hold
that a broader ard truer interpreta-
ticn of these laws will show that
they have no application to the pres
ent situation.
A Democratic caucus of the
new Senate has been called to meet
tomorrow and the possibility of fol-
lowing out the suggestion of the
President that the rules be changed
is expected to be determined in the
near future.
Another name was added today to
the list of senators who signed a
manifesto in the closing hours of
the session, declaring that they fav-
ored the armed neutrality bill and
would vote for it if given the oppor-
tunity. Senator Lippitt, of Rhode Is
land, telegraphed to Senator Weeks,
asking that his name be affixed,
making seventy-six signers.

President AWAITS OPINION OF LEGAL
ADVISERS BEFORE ARM|NG Ships
President Probably Will Get Decision When Cabinet Meets
Today. Navy Department Opposes Plan Of Convoy
ING Ships. One More Senator Joins Majority

Washington, March 5.-Further
action by President Wilson in the
German situation was postponed to-
day pending decision by his legal
advisers as to whether he has pow
er to arm American merchantmen in
spite of the failure Of Congress to
pass a resolution conferring such
authority.
The question was referred to At
torney General Gregory and Secre-
tary Lansing and probably will be
decided in time for consideration at
tomorrow's cabinet meeting-the
first to be held in the new admins
tration. The Inauguration ceremon-
les occupied most of their time to-
day, but members of the cabinet and
other officials found opportunity to
discuss the subject.
A determination to arm the mer-
chantmen, if legal way to do so
can be found, generally was appar-
ent.
The president has placed square
ly before the Senate the responsible
ity for changing it's rules during the
special session begun today, so that
filibusting by a small group of SEN
ators cannot prevent action by Con-
gress. In the meantime, he is pre-
pairing to take such steps as he can
to meet the crisis and defend Ameri-
can rights.
In his inaugural address today he
declared 1--WE stand firm for armed
neutrality" and added:

circumstances, not by our own pur-
pose, to a more active assertion OF

co-operates with the parishes in
their tick eradication movement by
sending an Inspector to oversee dip

there are still left a number of live

which have real foundation. He has
