SAN FRANCISCO, January 3d.
Maritime strike leaders. forecasting an
end to the 93-day, multimillion- dollar
walkout, called q noon meeting today
to prepare for vote on ending the
conflict.
Henry Schmidt, president Of the
San Francisco longshoremen. said the
meeting would prepare q ballot for the
coastwide settlement referendum, and
added:
I'm my opinion the strike is over"
His declaration found backing In
statements by Harry Bridges. coast
president of the International Long,
shoremen's Association and key fig
ure in directing the bloodless but Bit
ter dispute.
There Is growing sentiment in
the rank and file for settlement and
nothing can change 1t now" reported
Bridges, who Thursday night an
nounced q tentative agreement with
shipowners on behalf Of his $4,000
stevedores.
Bridges announced last night strike
chieftains had delayed action on call
ing the referendum In hopes Of reach

unions-radio telegraphers and the
cooks and stewards.

alton 1t should be collected. to collect
1t and to spend it. Certainly the pri-
mary obligation should not be shifted
to the Capital community. which has
no power of control over its own tax
money at any stage and whose sole
function in respect to taxation and
its financial status Is to petition, to
obey and to pay.
The organic act took away territorial
representation by voteless delegate in
the House and nominal but delusive
territorial "self-government" and self
taxation" from the District, and
pledged the Nation to meet half of the
approved expenses of Capital main
tenance and upbuilding on q scale
worthy Of the Nations city.
The spirit Of the fiscal report is to
repudiate the pledge (as modified by
amendment and practice), and to offer
an uncertain and by no means binding
concession toward local suffrage"

OLD TEXAS LOOP
talk REVIVED

SAN ANTONIO, Texan az
tempt is being made to revive the
old Southwest Texas League, with
Corpus Christi and Laredo as the
key cities. Joe Pate, Texas League
umpire, has been touring that Sec
ton as an emiSSary of the National
Association, feeling the public
pulse as to the likelihood Of the
support of such an enterprise, and
he reports having met with a
favorable response.
Among the desirable cities in
the proposed circuit, in addition to
Corpus Christi and Laredo, Pate
names Neuvo Laredo, Mexico,
across the Rio Grande from La
redo; Mission, Harlingen, McAllen
Refugio and Beeville.
OF these places, Lare o and
Corpus Christi are large enough
to support Class B teams, but as
to the other cities it is doubtful
if they would measure up for such
an organization. In connection
with a Glass B plan, it is possible
that a circuit to include Waco,
Temple and Austin could be made
into a successful venture. All Of
these cities measure up in popula-
ton to Corpus Christi and Laredo,
which would Ifs ct the mileage
that would have to be covered. A
circuit of this kind has never been
tried before and m G hit prove
