WITH FELLOW WORKERS.
Business Generally Suspended In
Washington Metropolis When Men
Go out.-Troops Stand Ready
for Emergency.

men, in sympathy with $4,000 ship
yard workers who walked out Janu-
airy p to enforce demands for in
crease of pay.
Authority for the use of troops was
granted by Secretary of War Baker,
upon advice from Governor Ernest Lis
ter of the situation in Tacoma and
Seattle.
Thirty-ive thousand union men in
the vicinity Of Seattle quit work on
February 6, labor leaders said, but in
Tacoma response was not so general,
and the principal unions involved there
were the carmen, timber workers, bar
bers and retail clerks.
Street cars stopped running in Seat
tie, schools closed, restaurants and
| theatres closed their doors, newspapers
suspended, and other industries ceased
operating. Twelve "soup, kitchens"
were established by culinary unions
to feed strikers and others who de-
pended upon restaurants for meals.
Patrons of the kitchens were lined up
and served in military ''mess" fashion.
Barber shops closed and elevators
stopped running.
Only emergency telegraph business
from Seattle was handled by the tele-
graph companies. The telephone sys-
TEN continued in service.
| No disorder was reported in either

GIGANTIC TAX BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
MEASURE GOES. THROUGH eY
VOTE OF $40 TO II, AFTER
LONG DEBATE.
Party Leaders Join in Prophesyin0
That the Bills Tax levies Are Too
Low, and Predict That Higher
Taxes Must Be Provided.

Notwithstanding house ON Satur-
day, February 8, concluded its work
on the record-breaking war revenue
bill by adopting, 80 to IL, after six
hours discussion, the cOnferees' agree
ment on the measure. 1t now goes to
the senate for final approval, which
is expected in few days.
The conference report, which pro-
poses to raise six billion dollars in
taxes this year and more than four
billions annually until repealed, will
be taken up by the senate Immediately
after disposal Of the woman suffrage
resolution. Its adoption by the senate
and approval by President Wilson are
regarded as assured.
During debate in the house Satur-
day, Democratic and Republican lead
ers joined in declaring that the bills
tax levies were too low, both for this
year and 1920, and predicted that high
er taxes must be provided by the next
congress.
Opposition to the report was not
based, however, on it's tax impOsts, but
to minor amendments, particularly the
child labor legislation.
Besides the child labor provision.
several house members criticised as a
"pittance" the $50 pay bonus provided
for persons discharged from military
service.
Representative Kitchin, Democratic
leader, made the principal address,
commencing the bill as whole, but
declaring it should have imposed
higher taxes and that it would not
meet future requirements. He ex-
pressed the belief that expenditures
this year would total $2O,O0O,OOO and
$1O,OOO,OOO,OOO in 1920. and that by
the end of the next fiscal year the
bonds outstanding would aggregate
$40, OOO, 100000. He explained, how
ever, that to enact the bill and take
81, 700 100000 more than under exist
ing law from "prOfiteers," charged
with conducting propaganda against
it's passage, the house cOnferees were
compelled to give and take.

Before Final Peace.

Paris.-The supreme war council Is
reported to have reached u decision
at Saturdays meeting that 1t was
necessary to impose more severe con-
ditions upon Germany for the renewal

In producing war material.
1t Ia expected that the means for
securing the execution Of the condi-
lions laid down will be reached at
Mondays session of the council.
"While / have said that the war has
been won, 1t would perhaps be more
accurate to say that there is lull In
the Storm" said Georges Clemenceau,
the French premier, in the course OF
an interview Sunday. AT least" he
added, ..it is. as well to face squarely
all the possibilities"
Although Germany had been beaten
militarily and had been largely dis
armed, there still remained, the pre-
mier pointed out. a "chaOtic, but fruit
full, Russia from which great help may
be drawn by the Teutons."
There would be danger. he thought,
Of "reopening Of the military de-
BATE" II 1t were not for the assurance
President Wilson had voiced recently
that whenever France or any other
free peoples was menaced the whole
world would be ready to vindicate "its
liberty"
In the society of nations, said the
premier, each nation must be willing
to renOunce it's traditional alOOfness
and be willing to employ the national
strength outside Its own country, both
in war and In peace.
Premier Clemenceau warmly praised
the help the American troops hat
given In winning the war for de
mOcracy.
