 ork. July 14-The threat
 strike of men employed on
 vez~ sls controlled by the United
 States shipping board was called
 late today. According to union of-
 hcials. o0,0Oo seamen and thousands
 of stewards, cooks and other em-
 plOyes joined the ranks of those
 already on strike in the coastwisc
 trade.
 The offer of the shipping board of higher wages and shorter hours in port was duplicated today by the American Steamship association, which controls 75 per cent of the coastwise shipping. but failed to bring about a settlement.
 Shipping board officials will make another effort tomorrow to reach an agreement with the strike leaders and end 9 situation which is admittedly having a serious effect on sea-borne commerce. The principal bone of con- tention. the union heads say is over the question of closed shop.
 The outlook was made more threat ening today when William $. Brown international president of the Marine Engineers, telegraphed from Buffa "a that his union had voted to join tn 3 walkout if the demands of the strike. s were not met
 The steamship association contended today to meet the offen of the shipping board, but asserted that advances in wages at this time will inevitably inter- fere with the upbuilding and maintenance of the American merchant marine in the overseas trade"
 The association declared that wages paid on American ships are higher than those paid seanen anywhere else in the world. but that the award of the ship ping board makes it obligatory on private owners to concede similar rate of pay

Mir Green of Dallas, op ponent of the measure, informed the house he did not believe the day should be counted q legislative day and that he believed the house would be violating the state constitution by calling in per- sons for speeches who are not members of the house.

Chicago, April 11-Present high
prices OF meat will continue for a

The association includes large and

With hungry nations in Europe de-

increased demand is bound to keep
prices up, the association said. In
stead of reducing the demand for
meat, the signing of the armistice
added 2O0.000,000 additional mouths
to feed, it was estimated.

MAYOR IS YEARS
Fred A. Brigham, Oakland Ex-
ecutive, Dies Today.
He Was One of Topeka Sub
urb's Most Active Boosters.

Mayor Fred A. Brigham, of Oak
land, died at 1880 O'Clock this morn
ing. For fifteen years Brigham has
been mayor of Oakland with the ex-
ception of one year. He was one of
the early settlers in Oakland, coming
to this city about twenty-five years
ago from Shrewsbury. Mass. Since
that time he has at all times been a
leader in all progressive movements
and endeavors originating in Oakland.
1t was largely due to his influence that
Oakland was incorporated as a city of
the third class in 1908. February 2.
1904, Fred A. Brigham was elected
mayor of Oakland. His unquestioned
popularity was demonstrated by the
fact that the people of Oakland re-
turned him for mayor time after time.
He was not in the city during the per-
iod that he did not officiate as mayor.
He Was 81 Years Old
Brigham was "a years old. No
specific cause could be given for his
death other than a general break
down caused by old age. He has been
came upon him gradually. He is sur
vived by two children, a daughter,
Mrs. Horace E. Horton, of Chicago,
who is now in the city, and a son,
Edward Brigham, of New York City.
He is also survived by a grandson,
James Horton, of Oakland. The fun
eral will not be held until the son ar
rives from the east.
Aside from being the moral and po-
litical leader of Oakland, Brigham had
no other business. He devoted all of
his time to the affairs of the little
city. He was at one time engaged
in the real estate business. The Brig
ham-Rich addition, now th4 city of
Oakland, was nothing but a tract of
farm land when he first took hold of
1t. His only business since that time
has been along real estate lines. He
died owning a large amount of prop
erty in Oakland
Just last Monday Brigham was
elected again to the office of mayor
Then death came to prevent him serv-
ing so faithfully another term. He
will be buried in ShresburY Mass

Then "Reds" Will Launch Out
on World PrOletariat Revolt.

Paris. April 11.-Confirmation of a
Bolshevik plan to seize Germany as
the initial step in world wide pro-
letariat revolution has been received
in government circles here, it was an
nounced today.
According to available information,
the Bolsheviki scheme is this:
SpartacanS-with possible acquies-
cence of the present government-will
assume administrative power in Ger
many during or Immediately after the
Versailles congress.
Huns Will Not Pay.
Once in control, the Spartacans will
greet the allied demands with folded
arms and q general attitude of do
what you like. but as far as we are
concerned, we will do nothing
meaning they will refuse to pay in
IDENTITIES or carry out any of the
other peace terms.
The Spartacans thus hope to force
the allies to occupy central Europe.
which they believe would embitter the
allied peoples against their govern
ments.
With the allied armies in the inter-
lor OF Germany, the Spartacans would
carry on an active propaganda to con-
vert the troops to Bolshevism. Con-
fident of their success in this, the
Spartacans believe the troops, return
ing to their own countries, would car
ry the seeds of revolution into a soil
made fertile by miscarriage of the al
lies peace plans, combined with the
general social unrest in the world.
Bolsheviki Spread Rule.
Meanwhile, a closer alliance be-
tween the Russian and Hungarian So
Wet governments is being effected, ac-
cording to official advices received
here.
M. Lamelli, personal representative
of Premier LeniHe, is said to- have ar
rived in Budapest. He is reported to
have promised the Hungarians an
army of 10000 to aid them in
strengthening their control of the
country. Lenine, it is said, continues
to counsel moderation for the Hungar-
ians and advise them to avoid Russia's
excesses. He hopes soon to esta blish
physical communication with Hungary,
which Is impossible atspresent because
of the fact that strong Rumanian and
Czecho-Slovak forces now form a bar

Lenine also is reliably reported to
be making preparations to install Boil

thus directly linking Russia up with
hungary and Bavaria

ELECTIONS ARE QUIET
In Hungary Soviets Are Elected With
No Trouble

Budapest, April 1.-THE elections
IN Hungary for the creation of Soviet
councils passed off without reported
incidents, Soviet organizations being
formed in the country districts by
means of this balloting. The Whole
process was carried out under the
coercion of the Red army, with the
rlaJcrity of the voters in many places
not appearing to know why they were
voting. Notwithstanding the desperate
earnestness of the Communists out
siders now in Hungary are still IN
clined to take the economic view of
the experiment which they feei will
not develop into lasting success. al
tho whether conditions will become
worse before they grow better, is a
debatable question
