GENERAL STRIKE IN
ARGENTINE SETTLED

BUNEOS AIRES. Jan. I2.-The gen.
eral strike was settled last night at
a conference of workers and employ
ers. at which President IrigOyen 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be withdrawn as soon as the seIf-se-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
combination of selfishneSs and in
telligence, makes a pretty good
horse.
Mr.. Spartacus Lieb6necht. 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

steps Of civilization one, or at the

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Regarding the above, the impress ion might prevail that the Gateway or the Seward Chamber of Commerce, miCht have attacked the Engineer In Charge of this division. No attack has been made upon Mir. WSir, he is paid official of the Alaskan Engineering Commission and must carry out orders given to him. or there perhaps would be a new man in his position. The oth- CT idea, have MT. Weir on the com mission, opens a new thought. MT. Weir is on the ground, knows what Is demanded for this division and if an even break was given would undoubt- edly complete the Seward Division. Those who have probed into the A. E C. workings know that Chairman Edes appeared before the appropriation committee in 1917 and stated that the Seward Division was completed and little .aoney was needed for work. Tho present condition shows what he knew and knows.

PARIS, Feb, 21- Dr. Alonzo Tay- Tor, food specialist, returning from g trip to Germany, said today that the German government now was the same as during the bureaucratic re- gime of the Kaiser's day. This govern ment, according to pr. Taylor, does to represent the forces causing the re volution and intimates that former ambassador von Bernstorff, to the United States, is the head of foreign affairs and also seems to be taking great interest in American affairs.
 "The Germans" said pr. Taylor, "are afraid to put untried men in gov ernment service of any kind. The un- employed men in Berlin are paid eight marks day to keep them pacified, and railway workers and street clean CTS get six marks, which produce q desire not to work.
 Immoral plays, formerly prohibited are now permitted and footing is com. mon. The public morale is low, food situation critical and lack of fuel and raw materials have closed nearly all the industries"
