Business men are reported to be
registering vigorous protests against
the slowness of the telegraph, cable
and freight service. Eighteen hours
between filing and delivery of tele-
grams within a radius of a hundred
miles and seven days for cable
message to Japan are among the
specific complaints. Consignees OF
perishable foodstuffs who are threat
ened with prosecution for letting them
spoil in the cars retort that they were
spoiled in transit on account of the
delays of the railroads. Government

By spring the United States would

WILL DECLARE SIEGE
Argentine President Wants To Call
Out 1897 Reserves.

Buenos Aires, Jan. 14.-Presifient
Irigoyen was reported today to have
asked congress to declare. state OF
siege and call out the reserves of the
class of 1897, Just demobilized.
There was spasmodic fighting be-
tween demonstrators and police late
Monday and during the early hours
of the night. The number Of casual
ties could not be learned. While eco
nomic causes for disturbances appar-
emily ceased with calling off of the
general strike Saturday. the political
reasons obviously continued. Most of
the shops and stores have reopened
but the public is frankly nervous.
Sergy Suslow, alleged secretary of
the Argentine soviet" interviewed by
the United Press in his cell, denied
that he was involved in a Bolshevik
plot to overthrow the Argentine gov
eminent.
II was born and educated in Rus

Aires in 1903. I am secretary of a

legged to be president of the "Argen-
tine soviet republic" 1t is rumored
that he died in Jail from injuries re-
ceived while resisting arrest.)
SusloW was unable to reconcile the
fact that his society was supposed &c
have only forty members while lac
Russians had already been taken into
custody. He admitted having formed
the acquaintance of two political agi-
tators since the armistice. One, he
said, had gone to Chile, the other tc
the United States.
Suslow spoke very little Spanish. He
was reticent in the presence of po-
lice official but spoke freely wher
alone with the correspondent. Asked
about the reported death of Valid. the
police said he had been removed t

The latest report on the building
and loan associations in the United
States shows that they number 1853,
with a total membership of 3,s3s,612.
Their total assets exceed $3.50, 000.-
600. Their receipts from all sources
in 1917 were $1.220, 100000, and their
cost of doing business, $500, 900.
amounted to only 0.S of l per cent.
They are emi-philanthropic associa-
tions, and officials are moderately paid
or unpaid. Losses are light because OF
the conservative basis on which loans
are made. Ordinarily. if man own
a lot of ground, he may immediately
obtain a loan for two-thirds the CON-
bined value of land and buildings. In
the matter of home building they per-
fern a distinct service to the COM
munity in which they are located.

rein today at the opening here of the

war loan and savings organization OF
the Tenth federal reserve district, the
one in which We live, is urging the

1t now is regarded as certain that
another government loan will be float
ed in April. The total amount OF funds
advanced to the allies is estimated
around 1856. 100000. Up to the first
of the year this is one-third of the
cost of the war as represented by
treasury disbursements to December
81, 1918. The secretary of the treas
ury announces that the cash payments
for the month of December were $2.-
06o, 900. 0O0-the largest payment for
any month of the war The war loan
organization for the treasury expects
to continue the war savings system
thru 1920 and succeeding years, and
is planning the issuance of long-term
securities later on to refund war saw
ings stamps and certificates that have
been sold. 1t is also reported that the
war savings certificates may be issued

release of Thomas ]. Mooney, accord

the keynote speech at the opening ses-

Labor must use its last resort. its
powerful economic weapon-the strike

est question of the nation. We must
use the final expression of labor and
lay our cards on the table"
