POINDEXTER'S POLICY

Washington, Oct 26-United States
Senator Miles Poindexter of Wash.
ington state today announced his
candidacy for the Republican nomi-
nation in 1920 for the Presidency. He
states his position upon the vital
questions of the day in long state
ment, including the following:
The absolute security of every man
under the law in his person and
property.
The safeguarding Of the general
welfare of our people by keeping the
government at all times under their
own control, both RS against any
special class at home and as against
any foreign power or combination Of
powers.
Every necessary agency of the gov
eminent should be used to give com
plete protection to the lives and law
full rights of American citizens n
Mexico and the international duties
we have assumed as to what coun-
try, by reason of our proximity, and
as incidental to the Monroe Doctrine
should be at once performed.
Alien slackers, who renowned the:r
first papers of naturalization in or
der to escape military service, should
be denied citizenship in the future
and should at once be deported.
Revolutionary communism, by
whatever name il may be called,
| must be met and put down wher-
| ever it appears. as subservice Of lib
erty.
The attempt Of certain radical lead
ers to coerce Congress to enact legis-
lation proposed by them, if success
full, would be government by class.
as in Russia. and not by the people
as in the United States. The threat
to tie up transportation until the
railroads are nationalized and deliv-
cred to the control of the employees
If successful. would be government
by terror, for special class.

More New York
Dock Workers
Serve Notice

New York, Oct. N-Efforts to en-
New Ycrk's unauthorized harbor tie-up
were given another setback when it was
announced that longshoremen said to be
members OF "a locals of the Interna-
ticnal Longshoremen's Union today vot-
ed in favor of a general strike in the
port of New York, to become effective
imme dately. They declared that 2coo1
dock workers employed on the piers in
Manhattan. Brooklyn, Hoboken, Jersey
City and Staten Island would obey the
new strike order. They said that here
tofcre they had been on a vacation.
On the other han, T. V. O'Connor,
president of the International union. de-
clared that the unauthorized strike Of
dock workers was 'breaking up" He
said the situation looked better than
ever for an end to the harbor tie-up
which has resulted in millions of dollars
OF losses to shippers.
Mayor H'-lan, who has been attempt
ing to bring about a settlement between
the longshoremen. the ship owners and
employing stevedores, said that he
would continue his efforts to end the
strike. He asserted that the longshore-
men preferred to deal directly with their
employers rather than through the ma
tional adjustment committee.
Many men are reported to have re-
turned to work today at the piers Of
the Cunard, White Star and French
lines On the other piers in the Chel-
sea section it WIS said that a large
number of worker; would report for
work tomorrow morning.
When informed of the general
strike called by the longshoremen.
Mr. O'Connor said it was a secession
movement" and that there was not
a man at the meeting authorized to
call a strike He sold that the strike
could not receive the support of any
organization affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. He reit-
Grated his belief that the majority OF
the striking longshoremen would re-
turn to work tomorrow morning.
