bIG STEEL SHIP YARDS CLOSED
 BY WALK OUT
Wood Workers Refuse to Join 21 Unions of Metal
 Workers In Strike.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 21.-Seattle's big steel ship yards were closed and hundred of metal workers in the wooden yards were called out here to- day by strike of members of twen- ty-one unions affiliated with the met al trades council.
 Ship carpenters, joiners, caulkers, fasteners and other woodworkers did not strike, having been inStructed to- day by their organization, the Paget Sound maritime district council to re- main at work.
 Leaders of the steel workers said the strikers numbered about 25,OO0. The wood workers who did not strike number between four thousand and five thousand. The strike leaders as- strted the withdrawal of the lectric- ians, engineers and other metal work CTS would cause all the wood yards to close soon. Several have closed already as a result of the strike.
 The men are dissatisfied with the "Macy award, wage adjustment brought about by government agents and seek a basic wage scale of one dollar an hour for mechanics and seven dollars and six dollars day for helpers. The Macy scale for me- chanics is S6 1-2 cents an hour

.EX.IflEGRAPH OFFICERS HEARD BY COMMITTEE "Government Wants Con
 trol to Increase Rates
 and Finance Crippled
 Companies OPPOSES CONTROL EXTENSION PERIOD Reynolds Claims BurlesOn, Vail and
 Carlton Would Form Huge MOnOp0y.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Edward Rey- holds, of New York, who recently was relieved of his duties as President and general manager of the Postal Telegraph Cable Company, by Post master General Burleson, told the House postoffice committee today that the only excuse for the government re- taining control over telephone and telegraph companies, was 'to increase telephone rates and to finance crip- pied telephone companies"
 MT. Reynolds appeared to oppose the administration measure contemplating extension of the period of control and possible government purchase of the wires. Protests against the legisla- tion also were filed with the commit tee for several state public service commissions.
 Mr. Reynolds said that to "utiliZe the government control for increasing telephone rates as is now being done by the Postmaster Generals, is assum- ing authority that Congress did not confer upon the Postmaster General" and declared that efforts now are being made to increase telegraph charges.
 'fMr. BurlesOn's operating commit tee consisting of a Western Union man, two Pell telephone men and ono | independent telephone man" the wit | ness declared, "has within the last few days tried to get tlle Postal com ] pany to agree to increased telegraph | rates and the Postal company has re- l fused. If the government will turn | back at once the Postal Telegraph | linea wa will contin1Ia fo carry n, 1 the telegraph business at present | rates"
 | The witness accused the pastmas- 1 ter general Theodore N Vail and Ncwcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union. for seeking to con- solidate all telegraph, telephone and possibly cable lines into one huge monopoy, and said there is no good reason why all the lines shoud not be turned back at once and the loss now sustained by the government in their operation stopped.
 Would Deceive Public.
 "The idea that 2 great consolida. tion and the wiping out of competi- tion and the grant of subsidies for new cables will confer great bene- fits upcm the American public. is put forward to deceive. Such g combin- ation would impose hardship upon the public without giving it single advantage." the witness declared.
 MT. eynods said that Postmaster General Burlason had discharged him as postal official because he sought to prevent MT. Burleson's plan for combination of wire com , panies.

PLANS LAID FOR
 INTERNATIONAL
 TRADES CONGRESS
British And American La Dor Leaders in
 Session.

. London. Jan. 21.-An adjourned
 onference of leaders of British labor
 ith Samuel Gompers and other Amer
 can labor delegates now in England has reached an agreement to form a nucleus for an international trades un- ion congress. A committee of five will be appointed to represent British labor at the new congress and to aid in organizing it. MT. Gompers will confer with the British committee in the next few days to formulate plans for the congress and to select an early date for the meeting in order that the congress may meet simultaneously with the peace conference.
 Mir. Gompers and the other Ameri- can delegates will go to Paris tomor- row. where MT. Gompers said tonight, it is hoped to discuss the new move ment with French labor leaders in ad- vance of the next meeing with the British committee.
 The British Trades Union congress is combined to the idea of a national socialist labor conference. This confer ence was first set for Lausanne but recently was changed to Berne. Ar thur Henderson is now at Berne as the representative of British labor in making the arrangements for the meeting. It was pointed out by Mr. Gompers tonight, however. that the .trades union congress will be divorced entirely from the meeting at Berhe.
