Regardless Of whether their conclu-
sfons are justified it is certain that
for all practical purposes the world

In bringing the news to The Star no
means of transportation is overlooked
by the Associated Press. though the
principal method employed is the tele-

telegraph companies (which have no
other business) there is not an organi-
zation in the world which has complete
kcontrol of as many miles of telegraph
lines as are under lease to the Asso-

50. 900, and the capacity for transmits

code system used, whereby one short
word takes the place of almost whole

great and growing share in the distri-

MANY JEWS VICTIMS OF
POGROM IN BUENOS AIRES
Argentine Report to New York
Zionists Says Slaughter Was In
cited by Revolution Rumor.

NEW YORK, March 27-Thousands
of Jews were slaughtered in a
"pogrom" conducted in Buenos Aires
January 9, according to a statement
issued here by the Zionist Organiza- =
ton OF America, quoting a report it
has received from the Argentine cap
ital.
According to this report, a white
guard" was organized there follow
ing a rumor that strikes in that city
were the beginning of a bolsheYist
revolution melted by the Jews. The
report charged that, with co-opera-
ton of the police, the white guaId''
raided the Jewish quarters, "killing
number that cannot be estimated
because all the bodies were buried
in a common grave" Jews and per-
sons who resembled Jews were stop
ped on the street, it was said, and
even synagogues were raided on the
ground that maximalists were being
hidden there from the police.
The Argentine branch of the Zionist
organization, the report continued,
finally succeeded in getting the po-
lice to end the "pogrom" after it had
asserted there were no bolsheviki
among Argentine Jews.

INDEMNITY AGAIN
STUMBLING BLOCK
President and Premiers Also
Find Adriatic and Rhine
Frontier Hard Issues.
HOLD A LONG SESSION

PARIS. March 26 (by the Associated
Press).-President Wilson's study was
again the center of inter SC interest to-
day as he, with the premiers of Great
Britain. France and Italy. resumed the
effort to settle the questions standing in
the way of peace.
No event of the peace confe' .nce has
excited such interest and discussion as
this action of the President and the
premiers in taking affairs into their
| own hands, and while criticism and sar-
| casm are yet in evidence in some quar-
| ters, including the French chamber of
deputies, still the prevailing view in
| conference circles is that the time had
arrived for the adoption of strong
policy assuring early and definite re-
suits.
Three Big Questions.
Previous to the meeting Premier Or
lando spent an hour with Col f. Nj.
House talking over the question of the
Adriatic and those of reparation and
the Rhine frontier, which are the
| three vital issues obstructing progress.
The Italian premier then proceeded to
the Paris white House. where Pre-
miers Lloyd George and Clemenceau
, were already with the President.
The meetings. beginning at IL
o'clock in the morning. were virtually
continuous throughout the day. the
league of nations commission cancel
ing it's afternoon meeting so as to
permit President Wilson to give his
undivided attention to the conference
with the premiers. The question of
indemnity was again the main stum-
bling block.
Premier Clemenceau had not brough
all his figures with him yesterday
and wished more time. Today he was
fully equipped. Premier Lloyd George
had called Edwin Samuel Montagu,
secretary for India and former finan-
cia1 secretary of the treasury, to Paris
from London. and Premier Cleme nceau
had consulted Louis Loucheur. the
French minister of reconstruction, in
addition to the regular experts.
All these financial chiefs agreed in
the main with the views formulated
by the American delegates concern
ing Germany's resources and ability
to pay. but it still remained for the
premiers to take a final decision on
the total of the indemnities.
President Wilson incidentally ex-
pressed himself as much gratified at
the showing made by the American
financial experts alongside the lead
ing financial authorities of France
and England.

SERBIA WANTS
 CLOTHING FOR
 NEEDY PEOPLE

NEW YORK, Feb. "A (by Associat- ed Press).-"Send a shipload of cloth ing to Serbia" is the plea of Madame SlavKo Grouitch, wife of the minister to this country from the new kingdom Of Serbs, Greats and Slorercs, who has started an organized effort to cptalE f'cm the American people the material desperately needed by the Serbians.
 Not only manufactured clothing, but cloth by the yard, and especially foot wear, is desired, according to Mine. Grouitch, honorary chairman of the Serbian aid fund clothing committee, which has undertaken the task of col lecting the clothing, and which has its headquarters at 33S Madison av- enue, this city. Arrangements have been made to receive there all express or parcel post shipments. Transpor- tation to Serbia has been arranged through the Washington legation of the new Jugo-Slav kingdom.
 Tn many Serbian families there is but one wearable garment" said Mime. Grouitch. During the war Serbia was so nearly inaccessible that re- lief work was almost impossible. Since Serbia is 96 per cent farming country, there was little merchandise in the whole kingdom, and the first Austrian invasion of 1914 completely devastated the richest quarter In successive invasions all movable gOods-furniture, clothing, blows and cattle-were stolen, so that upon their return from exile the Serbians found their country stripped of everything. In order to live they must work their farms. The men are making rude implements and the women trying to construct looms. But they have no raw materials with which to work, and unless clothing is sent in time for the planting season they can not start their crops, and will be faced by fam inc.
 The men already are broken in health, crippled and tubercular. The women, worn out by the struggle for existence, are bent and aged. The children Gall under eight years of age have died, for milk and chocolate have not been tasted in Serbia for three years) are anemic and tabercu- lar. Yet in spite of physical handi- caps, these brave people are eager to rebuild Serbia, and we are appealing to our American allies for clothing in which they can work. Underclothing, other garments, and especially foot wear, must be sent at once to Serbia if thousands of lives are to be saved.
 We also ask strips of cloth of any length. The Serbs can do wonders with bit of cloth It can be used as head-covering, shawl, a skirt, ch1ld's garment, or cut into strips for puttees, or even made into shoes Serbian women have sacrificed their old tapestries, carpets and upholster- ies to make shoes for their children. If worn-out leather shoes are given, they cut and patch up rough soles, wrapping over them square of cloth. Serbia begs piece of cloth from America"
 Mme, GrOuitch formerly was an American woman who was in Serbia through the war.

SALIENT FACTS
 IN HISTORY OF
 SEAT'TLESTRKE

How many men were idle up to Saturday night as the result of the e?-Approximately 130,OOO.
 How many union men?-About 55,- 900.
 How many unorganized?-Approxi- mately 75,000.
 How many shipyard workers?- About 25,500. ..
 How much did the men lose in wages up to the time the first "locals" decided Saturday night to return to work? Approximately $3,735,O00, if figured on the basis of $5 a day aver age pay-or $2,9S8,OOO on $4 a day average For instance, 25,500 ship yard workers had been out of work for seventeen days exclusive of Sun day. At $5 day this would be $2,- 167,5OO, 29,5O0 other union men had been out three days, at $5 day, $442,- 500, and 75,OOO nonunion workers at $5aa day for three days, $1,125,0O0-a grand total of $3,735,000. If figured on $4 a day basis, the shipyard workers in seventeen days would lose $1,734, ,00O; 29,50O union workers at $4 day for three days, $354,000, and 75,- 900 nonunion at $4 day for three days, $9OO, O,OOO-a grand total of $2,- 988,000.
 Why did they strike?-Union labor says the primary cause was the refus- al of the shipbuilders, or the shipping board, to grant wage increase. Ship yard workers rejected the Macy board award fixing a nationwide scale at $6.4O for mechanics and $4.18 for la- borers, and demanded basic wage of $8 for mechanics and $5.50 for labor CTS. The immediate cause of the strike, they say, was the refusal of the emergency ship corporation to permit the shipbuilders to pay more than the Macy scale, although the re- fusal did not come until after the shipbuilders and employees had been permitted to enter into wage negotia- tions Other unions went out in sym pathy with the shipyard men.
 Has the city's business and indus trial life entirely been suspended ?- No
 What industries operated? ?-All big department stores; electric lighting plants, water supply. gas, telephones. flour mills, telegraph, all government and city utilities, bakeries, virtually all retail stores, including groceries and markets.
 Violence?-None.
 How was the city's food supply af- ected?-Groceries and meat markets open. Citizens prepared for the strike by purchasing supplies for their homes, and downtown many small cafes, restaurants and lunch counters served food. Union labor members were to have been fed from soup kitchens established by the strike committee, but these admittedly did not do what was expected.
