DENVER, Jan. 25.-Mrs. Riddle
ias introduced resolution in the

March 8.
Mrs. Riddle thinks if definite
time for adjournment is set, the SEN

The dilatory tactics that have been
employed by the senate thus far in
ne session were the cause of Mrs.

Senator Elliot has introduced a bill
Or the state budget along the lines
commended by the state survey
ommittee. The bill provides for a
commissioner TO aid the governor in
repairing the budget, and it is esti-
ated that his action will save the

gisIature.

ill deadlocked over Attorney Gen
tal Hubbards appropriation, in

the main reason the conference is

CODES WERE KNOWN

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 25,
\ high official Of the state depart
ment said athere is reason to be-
love that the secrets Of the state
department leaked because the code
is lno@n abroad"
Ia order to avoid this, the code
is changed periodically, and it is
limited that it was only recently
altered.
This is the first time the depart
ment has admitted that the code was
known abroad and in view of the
query oG the probers as to whether or
not the brokers had information from
abroad. this statement appears sig
miicant.
it is even taken by some officials
to mean that the government hopes
to trace the source OF the leak
abroad.

BRITISH LABOR PARTY
AFTER WAR DEMANDS

MANCHESTER, Eng, Jan. 25.--
The eyes of capital and labor
thruout Europe focused on the six
teenth annual conference of the Brit
ish Labor party here today.
What labor shall demand after the
greatest war in history was the clear
cut issue.
Resolutions before the conference
,oday indicated that labor will fight
to remodel shattered industrial re-
ations more radically than ever in
labor's favor. Revolutionary de-
nands will be made on the govern
nent.
ii had been practically decided be-
iore the hundreds of delegates as.
sembled that when demobihzation
throws hundreds of thousands of
workers back into the industrial boil
ng pot, the unions will demand that
the government provide work for
every man who left his job on ac-
count of the war. Immediate rcsti-
tuition of the full rights and privi-
leYes of unions, withdrawn during
the war, viii also be asked.
A demand for general eight
hour law and minimum wage is
believed sure to pass the conference.
1t is equally decided that the unions
will demand the naturalization OF
productive industries-mines, etc.
/, radical educational reform, profit
sharing schemes and other things.
Numerous resolutions, so far franz
ed, repudiate the governments pro-
posal to create compulsory arbitra-
don of labor disputes.
Immediate negotiations for peace
IRE demanded by many delegates but
his issue, it is believed, will have
no great support. A demand that
women, now replacing men in hun
dreds Of occupations shall be guaran-
teen remunerative employment after
che war, is placed in the same class
as peace.
If the main issue Of the conference
is carried, however, British unions
will struggle in the future for a
stronger institution than the Aneri-
can Federation of Labor.
The delegates look to the support
of Arthur Henderson the government
abor advisor who is also secretary
of the labor party.
Henderson, four months ago, call
ID upon every union council in the
British isles to lay down it's ideas of
abor's postwar program. The reso-
utions before the conference today
um up the situation.
Three days, possibly four, will be
devoted to the unions future policy.

INFLUENVED DECISION


DENVER, Jan. 26.-The senate has
adopted Finch's resolution suggesting
that Attorney General Hubbard ap-
point Miss Clara Mozzer first, second
or third assistant instead of fourth,
for which place the senate finan-
oiers have refused to grant an ap-
preparation.
Andrews, Dunlay and Reilly were
the only ones opposing the vote.
Andrews characterized the situa-
ion as tempest in a teapot"
1t is feared by some, however,
that there may be serious results
rom this action insofar as the soli-
darity Of the Democrats is concern
ed.
The second conference committee
reported that it could not agree and
a third has been named.
The Fincher resolution stated that
the senate had been misrepresented
and that it should so on record as un-
against women.
The appropriation row now prom
ises to become free-for-all fight.
The personal friends of Hubbard
say that the senate finance commit
tee turned him down for personal
reasons, and that they took a slap
at women in public life at the same
time.

EXPECT ANOTHER
GIGANTIC OFFENSIVE

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 25.-
Officials here now believe that a gi-
eantie spring superoffensive will
prove to be the turning point in the
pence maneuvers.
The president and his advisors are
most secretive in regard to this view
but among the other officials the
view prevails that the president him
self believes that another great of
fensive effort will be made before
any real' peace step can be taken.
Diplomts from the foreign nations
agree with this, saying that news
reports from the front show even
now that plans are being made for
such drive.
1t is the general opinion here that
tie plans for the campaign will be
completed within six weeks, and it
is firmly believed that the entente
allies win insist on awaiting the out
come of this movement before any
peace negotiation with them will be-
come possible.
The presidents advisors believe he
has created situation which viii
make it difficult for either side to
insist upon the continuance of the
war after the results of the spring
offensive are made known.
