 WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. D. Secretary of Labor W. B. Wilson this morning ordered a general round up of all alien disturbers, of what ever nationality, on the Pacific coast and in the northwest.

The arrest and in ternment of 5000 Industrial Work CTS is also demanded. The govern ment has been keeping close watch upon the activities of the I.

 The recent activities and meet ings of the Industrial Workers of the World in and near Seattle are also ordered investigated. The gov ernment is apparently determined to make a clean sweep of this element, which has been attempting to break down the war prosecution program on the Pacific coast and in the states.

U. s. UNDECIDED
 REGARDING JAP
 WAR PROPOSALS
(Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. D. It Was indicated here today that the American state department is being steadily influenced to accept the allied view that Japan alone can best deal with the menace of German aggression in Siberia. The allies are evidently willing to give Japan a free hand in handling this end of the situation and entrust all allied interests to the keeping of the Japanese government.
 Officials close to the administra- tion intimated this morning that any prediction as regards the decision of the American government will be unsafe and uncertain. as many new factors are entering the problem. America is facing new issues, hay ing important bearing upon the sit uation in the Far East, almost ev- cry day.
 Both the British and French are said to be ready to accept the Jap anese proposals looking toward land. ing an armed force in Siberia to in sure the protection of the war SUD- plies stored along the Trans-Siberian railway.
 While such an action would not be made as an act of hostility against the Russians, it would be a friendly invasion which might not be pleasing to the Russians and cause more complications to a sit uation already almost without paral- Tel in the annals of civilization. Rus sian representatives in the United States have opposed any such ac- tion, and state that their position is representative of the attitude of the majority of Russians.

SERVICE
 TO BE REVISED
(Assocfatod preesl


 WASHINGTON. D. C.. Mar. D. An official bulletin issued today by Director General McAdoo states that the passenger schedules all over the western section of the Unit ed States will be rearranged in a short time. Under the proposed re. vision. it is stated that it will be possible to eliminate at least one. third of the passenger trains now operating in the west.
 The elimination of these trains will not affect the efficiency of the service in the least, as there Is much duplication of service by roads covering practically the same terri. tory. This duplicate service can now be cut out under the combina. tion system of government control.
 The proposed cut in trains will not only work conservation of coal and other supplies used, but will re. lease much motive power for ser. vice where 1t is badly needed.
