There is absolutely no such thing
as a free and untrammeled press in
America at the present time.
Whatever there was of it prior to
and during the war has disappeared
since the signing of the arnistice on
Nov II last American newspapers
now are openly and braZenly hostile
to the slightest hint and suggestion
of any radical tendencies in the Unit
ed States.
| do not claim to have made any
discovery i'll this connection, except
i'll SO far as the attitude of the Amer
lean press is reflected by the man
ner and the treatment given the so
cialist party officials trial before
Judge kenesaw M. Lands.
Press Prejudiced at Socialists.
The six daily papers in Chicago all
printed long stories daily about this
trial, and to say that every line con-
tained in these stories was colored in
a manner calculated. to prejudice the

Washington, Jan. %. - Growing
opposition and protracted debate COW
ering variety of subjects again pre-
vented the senate from reaching a
vote yesterday on the bill appropriate
ing 100000 asked by President
Wilson for famine relief in Europe.
Several more senators plan to speak
today and some members said pas
sage of the measure before Thursday
was improbable.
Vigorous addresses in opposition
to the appropriation were made by
Senators Harding of Ohio, Johnson
of California, PoindeXter of Wash
ington and other republicans, and by
Senator Hardwick of Georgia, demo-
crat, while those speaking for the
bill included Senators Hollis of New
Hampshire, democrat, and Weeks of
Massachusetts, who is one of the few
republican senators who thus far
have given the measure support in
debate. In the course of his address,
however, Senator Weeks criticised
many governmental activities.
Penrose Amendment.
"A definite development of the op.
position was introduction of an
amendment by Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania, republican, proposing
that administration of the 500, ,000,-
600 fund be placed in the hands OF
commission of three members to be
named by the president, subject to
confirmation by the senate, and to be
responsible to congress. Action on
the amendment went over. In in
PRODUCING it, Senator PenrOse again
attacked Food Administrator Hoov-
er and discussed aircraft production,
the Hog Island shipyard and other
war activities, promising further in
yestigation by the next congress.
Demonstrations by unemployed, III
which men in uniform have partici-
pated, were pointed to by Senator
Johnson as showing need for meas
ures to meet reconstruction condi-
tions at home. He said the nation s
! first Guty is to American military
| men and declared the proposed ap-
preparation was for the benefit of the
packers.
Unconstitutional Burden.
Senator Poindexter said the appro-
priatlOn was an unconstitutional Duf-
den upon taxpayers and unwarrant-
ed. He also criticised Mr.. Hoover,
declared opposition to President VIII
sons plan for league of nations and
joined in demands for measures to
benefit discharged soldiers and sail
ors.
Mr.. Hoover was defended by Sem
ator Hollis and Senator Weeks, who
declared that unless senate debate
was curtailed the objects of the bills
charity would starve before the
measure was enacted.
Opposition to the section of the
| bill preventing expenditure of any OF
the appropriation for relief in Ger
many was voiced by Senator Hardin,
who said he would despise himself if
he were not willing to give from the
stores of America to the starving OF
| Germany as we'll as to the bolsheviki

Seattle, Jan. 22.-BetWeen 10000
and $4,000 members of the Metal
Trades unions in Seattle, Tacoma and
Anacortes went on strike at noon
yesterday, paralyzing the Washing
ton shipbuilding industry. Accord
ing to a statement given out by the
ship carpenters controlling council,
another 5000 men belonging to the
various working trades employed in
ship building will all be forced out
through inability of the yards to op-
crate without the metal trades work.
erS.
Wooden shipyards at Olympia,
Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Bellingham and
Anacortes were operating today, but
with short crews. Ship carpenters,
caulkers, fasteners and other wood
workers who declined to strike are
advising the advisability of calling a
strike in sympathy.
The strike was as orderly as if the
men were going off shift. Parades
and similar demonstrations were
everywhere discouraged by labor
leaders. The shipyard employers met
in conference throughout the day,
but announced they were simply
standing pat" and would not at
tempt to operate the yards.
The metal trades strike is for a
basic wage of S an hour for me-
chanics Through a federal wage
adjustment board known as the Macy
board, the mechanics were recently
granted S6 " cents per hour.
Skilled mechanics are only very

Especial Dispatch to The Bulletin
Seattle Jan 22-Organized labor is marking time
here today in their gigantic strike against wage that
does not permit them respectable living for themselves
and their families.
Their hope lies in sympathetic strike of all the craft
unions in the northwest and which threatens to parayze
the industries on the entire Pacific coast.
That the craft unions will decide to strike in sym
paty with the metal trades is not doubted among labor
leaders here who believe that government intervention
will eventually nercede in the matter to the benefit of
the workers.
It is estimated that by Monday morning more than
100000 will be idle in Oregon and Washington in
addition to the army of unemployed already in exist
ence before the strike.
