CLOSES
SEATTLE'S PORT
Handling of Cargo Causes
Row of Longshoremen
and ShipoWners.
By the Associated Press,

oS Inc hssOCldteO fTebS.
SEATTLE, Jan. 6.-Seattle's port
was closed today by a deadlock be-
tween shipowners and longshoremen
over how cargo should be handled.
Ships were diverted to other Puget
Sound ports.
M. G. Ringenberg. manager of the
Seattle Water Front Employers As
soclation, said meeting of employ
ers with International Longshore-
mems and Warehousemen's Union
representatives broke up in complete
deadlock" with no provision for a
second conference We didn't get
anywhere" he said.
The dispute, which led employers
to halt port activity at noon yesterday
started over transferring a cargo of
hides from the small Canadian steam
er Gorder Prince to another vessel, q
three-hour job for six-man crew.
LongShoremen contended the Joint
LABOR Relations Committee awarded
them the right to handle cargo des-
tined for trans-shipment to another
vessel. Employers asserted the cargo
should be Slung directly from her
holds to the second vessels hold with
out landing it on the pier
Longshoremen charged the employ
ers broke their labor agreement by
refusing to arbitrate and by the al
legged lockout"
Vessels now on the way here will
be diverted and the cargoes will be
handled by rail and truck into Sc
attic, Mr.. Ringenberg said.
The longshoremen will not retail
late by refusing to handle Seattle
cargoes in other ports" said Matt
Meehan, I. L. w. U. secretary. The
employers want to make this a coast
wide strike, but We will DO everything
possible to keep it from spreading.
Our men will handle cargoes in other
ports"

The former N. r. A. chieftain, who
spoke to the National Retail Furniture
Association, contended the policy Of
the Roosevelt administration Is to
distribute poverty, not wealth."
THE American standard Of living
has dropped more In the last four
months than in any other time in
recent history" he said. This de-
preston is no joke. The forces con-
verging toward battle in the present
session Of Congress are the most
threatening we have known since the
Civil War.
There Is being proposed now an
assault on the whole capitalistic sys-
tenn. We are facing a proposal for
the redistribution OF existing wealth
and that is no less than the prin-
ciple Of communism"

SENATE PASSAGE OF LABOR
BILL DOUBTFUL AS HOUSE
MEMBERS SEEK AMENDMENTS
Its Consideration Would
Kill Early Adjourn
ment Chances

WASHINGTON. May Z. (UP)
Opponents and proponents of the
wage and hour bill today began
campaigns to amend it before the
house passes it.
Opponents, composed largely
of southern Democrats, seek to
strike out the bills wage provi-
sions or lower them for southern
industries.
The other group which includes
many leaders of the movement
to enact the federal legislation,
Immediately will try to have the
bill inaugurate a 40-hour week
and Accent minimum wage at
once instead Of by gradual stages,
before the bill comes up.
Then even the opponents adj
nit it will pass but its enactment
as law still is doubtful because of
filibuster threats in the senate.
Whatever the outcome, it ap-
peared congressional lea ers
would have to abandon hope of
adjournment in the week Of June
/ if the house decides on May %
to consider the bill.
1t was believed at least. week
of debate would be necessary for
final house vote to be obtained.

HOSPITALITY COMMITTEES
STEERING GROUP PREPARES
WORKING PROGRAM FOR BODY
Will Be Offered to Full
Committee on Tues
day Night

J. F.. Shipman, chairman of the
Henderson county hospitality
committee appointed by Governor
Hoey, announces a change in the
meeting set for next week. Mon
day had been fixed as the meet
inc time but due to conflicting
amendments of several members
the meeting will be held at the
city hall at 8 O'clock Tuesday
night.
The general body will at that
time consider the report of the
special steering committee APP
pointed at the meeting last week.
This committee will recommend a
working program for the new or
ganiZation.
The committee in session last
night at the Chamber of Com
merce formulated a report that
will embrace the following recon-
mendations to the body Tuesday
night:
l. Appointment of a committee
to assemble such facts as the new
organization will need.
2. Appointment of committee
to publish in most suitable form
the facts gathered by the first
committee.
3. Appointment Of a committee
to disseminate the facts by press,
radio, clubs, other organizations
and possibly by speakers bu-
reau. ..,.s.a--.---.s. - 1900
4. Appointment of a committee
to recommend a suitable, effec-
tive slogan for the community.
5. That Mr.. Shipman, the chair
man; Mayor A. V. Edwards and
II. A. Buchanan, president of the
Chamber of Commerce write joint
letters of welcome to new resi-
dents.
6. That the chairmen of COM
mittees and Mr.. Shipman conSti-
tute the executive committee with
Mrs. Cathryn Wiseman, secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce,
serving as secretary.
The steering committee work
ed on the basis of the decision of
the organization at its first meet
ing not to engage in activities
which are now carried on by other
organizations in the community.
The committee felt that the most
important work to begin with
would be to stress kindness and
hospitality to visitors and to ex-
tend courtesy and fairness to
them in all transactions. 1t also
felt that one of the best means of
accomplishing this would be
through a well-informed public,
especially on the part of those
making first contacts with tour
tits, including dining room help,
attendants of service stations,
salespeople, etc. The idea of the
committee is to cultivate a con-
seriousness as to the responsible
ity and Influence of those occupy
ing these positions and the good
that they might do in being fully
informed on community facts and
conditions.
The steering committee last
night was attended by the follow
ing members: Mrs. P. F. Patton,
Mrs. Cathryn Wiseman, Mayor A..
V. Edwards, c. M. Ogle, A. F..
Barber and Noah Hollowell. Mr..
