so that Logan City now boasts fire
fighting unit equal to any unit in
the country.
A Library Board has been created
and, public library maintained in a
large room in me Preston block. Up

six years. Is there a single citizen
in Logan that would rather have
the money?
The year 1919 has been mainly
devoted to keeping in good repair the

This apparently ended the efforts OF
Hickey to kill the poll tax law. but
after the committee had finished its
other business Hickey again brought
the matt:r up and moved that all ac-
ton taken by the committee be ex-
plunged so that he could bring up the
roll call on his motion and won the
right to make further efforts to wipe
out the hated poll tax by a vote of

TO CONTROL SHIPPING
British Interests Arc Out in Strife TIC
Control World Business.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-British ship
ping interests have come into the open
in their fight for control of world
shipping.
Indications today were that the
great economic war which has been
threatened is now on in earnest.
Shipping board circles were startled
tition by the British in obtaining car
goes for their bottoms.
On the heels of an announcement of
a reduction of 662s per cent in rates
to Great Britain, it was asserted here
that British shipping interests have
garnered cargoes sufficient for three
months and these, it was declared,
were contracted before the rate reduc-
ton and therefore at the previous high
rate.
All cargoes now offered which have
not been placed under contract were
said to be accepted by the British at
the new rate This, it was pointed out
ties up all cargoes for which British
interests have bottoms. In addition
to this it was asserted among officials
British interests have begun charter
ing American Fowred vessels. 1t was
evident from reports received here
that the chartering of American
ships was being done by the British
to provide space for all cargoes Of
fered under the new rates.
The shipping board mediately
met the British rate reduction. But
in British shipping circles it was said
that when American vessels obtain
cargoes, many handicaps in the way
of foreign port facilities are found to
be in their path. On the other hand
when the consignment is shipped in
British vessels. the ways are creased, -
reports indicate.

A CRISIS BREWING.
In Germany the Factions Are at
Outs Once More.
Future Status of Soldier w Ork-
men Councils Is Cause.

Berlin, Jan. 2s-A new political
crisis was brewing today over the fu-
ture status of the workmens and SOL
diers' councils in which adninistra'
tive>power has conferred since the be.
ginning of the revolution. Leaders OF
the Majority Socialists and Democrats
"a coalition of whom Is expected to
dominate the new German republic
were advocating aprogram for aboli-
ton, or at least modification OF the
soviets. Meanwhile, the government
would be run by the present cabinet
until the national assembly could
establish new governmental machin-
cry.
The Spartacans were throwing what
power they still possessed on the side
of the workmen's and soldiers coun-
ellis. A mass meeting of Spartacans
in Braunschwieg yesterday passed
resolutions in favor of continuation OF
the soviets until the Socialist revolu-
ton is firmly established, regardless
Of the sitting of the national assembly.
The majority of the German peo-
pie apparently are determined that
the national assembly's work shall be
absolute and that soviets and present
cabinets alike must bow to it's will.
In view of this feeling, it is believed,
that the meeting at Weimar may ulti-
mately resolve itself into the first con-
gress of the German republic.
The Prussian elections yesterday
were conducted without enthusiasm.
Only a few pamphlets were distributed
and there was no agitation. Unlike
the national elections in which the
women elected thirty delegates and
gave the conservatives an unexpected
strength, there were few women vot-
| ing yesterday. Snow kept most of
them from the polls. The state cleo
tions are not generally considered i'm
portant nationally.
