ARREST 9 FOR
ALLEGED PLOT
Ecuador Government
Fears Revolt

GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, May 3d.
Nine men, charged with attempting
to overthrow the present regime, are
reported to be in Jail in Quito yester-
day. Several Of them were seized as
they attempted to cross the Peruvian
border, according to the official state
ments.
While the government refuses to
admit that the alleged conspiracy is
of any Importance, it is known that
considerable apprehension exists in
official circles as to what action the
masses of poems may take in event
of a crisis.
1t has been officially stated, how
ever, that the government will rely
on the army if necessary.
The government, whose finances
were recently investigated by an
American commission headed by Pro-
fessor Kemmerer, has won the suspi-
cion of the majority Of the poems by
its open favoritism of the bankers
and commercial classes.

ARGENTINE PORT
STRIKERS STILL
TYING Up SHIPS
Police Attempt to Smash
Walkout

BUENOS AYRES, May 30. - The
strike of the harbor workers at Bahia
Blanca was in full swing yesterday
with the police attempting to terrorize
the strikers by repressive action, ac-
cording to reports from the port. The
authorities are preparing to take fur
Their coercive measures.
Picket lines are growing, in spite
of the efforts Of the local police to
smash them in much the same way
as at Rosario, the strike leaders re-
port. The lines are holding firm.
Growing sentiment among other in
dustrial workers in the port and town
may lead to a general sympathetic
walk-out, it is intimated. The rail-
road men are said to be especially IA
vorable to such action.
A dozen or so vessels lying in the
small port are completely tied up and
the owners are urging the authorities
to act inoorder that they may not lose
thousands of dollars by the delay in
unloading.
The Bahia Blanca strike is the lat
est of a number Of harbor strikes
which have broken out in Argentine
ports within the last month.

In a statement issued later, Muir

A mass meeting held by the Tex
tile Mills Committee after the release
of the arrested leaders was one of the
largest ever held in the strike. All
strike meetings held in the past few
days have more than doubled in size,
over two thousand coming to hear
speakers arranged by the T. NJ. c.
and other sympathetic organizations.

the most unanimous big strikes ever

Despite the rapid tumbling of the
value of stocks in the textile corpora
tons the greatest majority of them
still realize that an attempt to open
would be mere folly, the only scabs
they could hope to get being few
straw bosses and superintendent. A
few of them. however. tried tn run
one or two sample goods looms with
the aid of their petty foremen. The
daily picket demonstrations halted
most of this, however.
The officialdom of the American
Federation Of Textile Operatives, now
part of the United Textile Workers,
which claims only a few thousand
skilled workers in their membership,
still refuses to participate in the
picketing.

TIRED LAWMAKERS
LEAVE THEIR Toll
Sham Election Battles
to Start

WASHINGTON, May 30.-Having
done their bit faithfully for big bust
ness, senators and congressman to-
day began their exodus from Wash
ington, following the adjournment of
congress yesterday. Most of them
feel proud Of the record of the 10th
Congress, which is one of the most re-
dictionary in recent years, and are
preparing to continue doing their
masters work in the nomination and
election campaigns of the two chief
capitalist parties.
The mock mud-slinging battles of
the two parties are now expected to
start on a large scale. The demo-
Gratis will probably make liberal use
of the revelations that the republican
party received S260,000 of the Con-
tinental Trading Co.'s oil-smeared
liberty bonds thru the hands of Harry
F. Sinclair. The republicans are also
expected to do their part in showing
up the democratic party, all leading
to the great arena in November, when
the two stuffed dummies will engage
in a sham battle to determine just
what section of big business will loot
the country during the next four
years.
