GENERAL STRIKE IN
ARGENTINE SETTLED

BUNEOS AIRES. Jan. I2-The gem
eral strike was settled last night at
a conference of workers and employ
ers. at which President lrigoyen pre-
sided.
lrogoyen induced the strike leaders
to accompany him to the Vesena iron
works, where the strike began. The
president asked the officials of the
company to accede to the strikers
demands. After a brief conference
the officials agreed. The workers
will receive wage increases and short
er hours
The labor leaders assured Irigoyen
that all trades which went out in
sympathy would return to work at
once.
General Dellepiane's troops are still
on duty, but it is believed they will
be withdrawn as soon as the seIf-se-
lected military dictator is convinced
the strikers are sincere.
The port strike, which is entirely
independent of the general strike, and
which began some time before. is still
unsettled.

tie. He was a wonderful fighter,
a good general, and wise in his
selection of men, as he proved by
picking out two Celts to be his
chief lieutenants.
But he had foolish ideas. And
in his last battle, when the slaves
began to get tired of following
him-just as they will get tired OF
following Liebknecht and Trotzky
he wanted to show that he de-
pended on nothing, so he stabbed
and killed his own horse before
the fight began.
The battle went against him, he
had no horse to ride on, and he
died sword in hand.
Germany, her factories, her in
dustrial organization built up by a
combination of selfishness and in
telligence, makes a pretty good
horse.
Mr.. Spartacus Liebknecht. who
starts in by stabbing that horse,
will find his slaves and red flag
gladiatOrs abandoning him and he
will fall in his turn.
Civilization and nations are a
growth. You cant change them
suddenly, they must climb up the
steps of civilization one, or at the
