POincare Brushes
Aside Opposition
in French Chamber

Paris, Nov. lo.-tBy a. ~
Premier Poincare, riding rough shod
over ali opposition scored slgnal
victory at the reopening of the
French chamber today. He succeed
ed in placing the discussion of the
credits OF the 1874
budget at the top of the order of the
day and absolutely refused to discuss
interpretations, except on one DAY
each week, which means in effect in
definite postponement. as lnterpella-
lions would probably average one
for EACH sitting and therefore only
four or five could be disposed of be-
fore the December recess.
NJ Poincare's uncompromising at
tituGe, however, caused crystalilZa-
ton Of all the opposition groups, the
radicals, Clemenceau adherents. So
cialists and Communists, led by
Ierriot. Tardieu, Blum and Cachin,
voting solidly against the government
for the largest minority on ques-
ton of confidence since the Ruhr
occupation.
The premier made his request that
Friday of each week be set aside
for discussion of the interpretations,
numbering forty, question Of con-
fidence involving responsibility of the
government, and he was supported
by the chamber by 4 vote of S73 to
1855.
NJ. IIerriot led the charge against
the government, insisting that dis
cussion of the amnesty bill be taken
up Immediately but NJ. Poincare
steadfastly refused, demanding that
the order of the day as elaborated by
the government be left undisturbed.
The order of the day, as present.
ed by the government. in which a
majority of the chamber concurred.
calls for, first, discussion of the 1924
budgets supplementary credits;
second, tax on revenues, and, third,
reform of the electoral law. The
next attack upon the government by
the left groups will be on the first
item. calling for eXtrao"i nary
credits to the amount of nearly l.
500,000000 francs over the 1923 bud
get. adopted as standard for 1924.
This amount is made up of >eXpendi-
lures in Morocco, totalling $4,000
600. and in the Sara Valley, and
Near East 248,00O,000, and an item
described as extraordinary eX-
penses" S47.000,000. The latter in
cludes the expenses of the Ruhr oc-
cupation since June, amounting to
nearly half a billion francs.
The opposition groups are training
their guns on these expenditures
with little chance of success. 1t is
admitted even in the most bitterly
oppositional quarters that the Poin-
care government is safe at least I'M
lii the elections.

STATE FEDERATION
WILL SUPPORT TYPOS
CONTINUED from Page one)

Herewith to the coming convention
of the Washington State Federation
of Labor. in order that definite and
concrete plans can be formulated there
for rendering them every support and
assistance possible. This is one of
the many reasons why a well-attended
and representative convention should
convene next month in Bellingham.
Plans will be formulated for an organ
ization drive in every locality in the
state, to be assisted by the federation.
Despite the fact that it is an off
year, there is much constructive work
to be done and every organization in
every section of the state that can af-
ford to send delegates should be rep
resented at the coming convention.
The convention can be depended up
on to support to the limit the typo
graphical union in its fight to annul
the decision of the State Supreme
court-a decision that has only lent
further emphasis to the necessity Of
curtailing the usurped powers Of our
courts to render decisions that in eff
feet are legislative rather than judi
cial. Our courts must be confined to
the adjudication of the law and re-
strained from the creation of new
laws by unwarranted decisions
function that the constitution dele
gated exclusively to the legislative
branch of our government.
Senator C. C. Dill will be one of
the principal speakers who will ad-
dress the convention and whose adj
dress should be heard by the repre-
sentatives Of every local union in the
state.

1t was reported this morning that
500 Russian refugees are to be landed
here sometime today or tomorrow. A
great many Harbor people are oppos-
ed to this move as there is no short
age Of labor here, it means that If
these refugees are put to work some
of the Harbor people will be dis
charged to make room for them. 1t
seems that If these refugees are TO be
taken care of for humanitarian rea-
sons, that the Government of the
United States would distribute them
over a larger area, as 1t will work a
great hardship on labor on the Har-
Dor to find work for them here 1t is
understood that Neal Coney of the
Grays Harbor Commercial Company
was instrumental in bringing them
here. If that is the case, one can
readily see the reason for the move
as this company is not interested in
the welfare of the refugees, but only
wants the cheapest labor possible,
labor that will not only work for small
pay but long hours.
