SERIOUS CHANGES COMING Xlonorary Magisrates to Be Replaced by Salaried Men Who Must Take Ixyalty Oatli. DUBLIN. Jan. 21. (By the Associated Vress.) The Sinn Feinn Asfirmlily met at the Mansion House this afternoon. The Assembly stood -while a declara tion of Independence w read uonnring the establishment of an Irish, republic and demanding; the evacuation vf Ireland by the British garrisons. .A crowd of perhaps 10OO, Including many women and children, were wear ing green, white and yellow ribbons, pressed around the door of the Mansion House, watching the delegates enter. Only two policemen were visible, but the Sinn Fein had its own police youths wearing white armbands to Keep order. Another crowd of different type was on hand repatriated war prisoners of the Dublin Fusileers. They had been entertained at lunch In the Mttnsion House, and their friends and the public Kcnerally were waiting outside to cheer them. (Copright by tho New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement..) LOXDOX. Jan. 21. fSpecial Cable.) Lord French is today the absolute ruler of Ireland, which practically has been turned into a crown colony, says the Dublin correspondent of the Daily News. Two very serious changes affecting Nationalist Ireland are said to be in contemplation, if they have not been actually settled upon. They are the abolition of the honorary magistracy, with the placing of the entire adminis tration of summary justice in the hands of salaried magistrates and the en forcement of the oath of loyalty upon all persons receiving emoluments from government funds.. At the present the oath of loyalty is demanded only from civil servants other than postoffice servants, but the enforcement of the new proposal would ring in such men as university pro fessors. This course, if It is attempted, will be most bitterly resented and re Fisted. Viceroy French, howeevr. Is c redited with favoring it, his view be ing that almost anything can be toler ated except disloyalty to the crown. Xo interference need be expected from Downing street, as before going to the peace conference Lloyd George washed his hands of Ireland and gave the Viceroy carte blanche. Propaganda which is particularly damaging to the new Chief Secretary for Ireland, Sir James Ian Macpherson, among the Catholic body of the people has heralded his appearance upon the fcene. His record as to "maisons tol crees" (licensed houses) in France has provoked the biting gibe that it was he who made the half-world safe for democracy. Ian MacPherson when Un der Secretary for War had certain pre cautions taken to protect the morals :ind health of the British troops in France. SOUND STRIKE IS NOW ON (Continued From First Page.) were affected. Labor officials esti mated that 3100 woodworkers had been forced out by the metal trades strike. Anacortes Yard Operates. At Tacoma, about 10,000 metal trade workers struck. At Aberdeen and Hoquiam, on Grays Harbor, the wooden yards operated lhrough refusal of the woodworkers to strike. At Anacortes, 300 metal tradesmen were said to be out and that many more ship carpenters or other wood workers operating the one yard. The shipyard of the Pacific-American Fisheries Company at Bellingham was riot affected by the strike, no demands having been made by the men. At Olympia, the woodworkers at the Sloan shipyard refused to strike. About 1050 men are said to be employed there. Carpenters Seek Agreement. The Puget Sound maritime district council of carpenters, controlling body ot the wood trades employed in ship yards with jurisdiction over approxi mately 8000 members in Washington, voted today, 76 to 15, not to join the metal trades strike. It was explained that the international organization of ihe United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners had taken up their wage protest with the War Labor Board, where the case was still pending, and that the carpenters declined to strike until a decision had been rendered. The carpenters ask the same scale as the metal trades, JS for skilled workers and tb for helpers and laborers. xao metal trades unions case was decided through a. different body, the -Macy board, a Federal wage adjustment Board. Today it was announced the carpen ters had asked W. L. Hutcheson, presi dent of the United Brotherhood of Car pentcrs and Joiners, to come to Seattle and attempt to negotiate a separate agreement with the shipyard employes. TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 21.

RIS ONUS Trades Council, admitted tonight that he, as secretary of his council, made a formal request f or ' moral indorsement before a meeting of the Building Trades Council tonight' and some step is to be taken befo-c the Central Trades Coun cil tomorrow night. Opinions differ as to the outcome of this move, but the p jsfbilitles are such as to cause considerable alarm in some quarters, as sympathetic action by these two councils would almost paralyze industry here. Approximately 15,000 men are out to night, carpenters, joiners and other branches of the woodworkers in the shipyards being forc-i out by the strike. Machinists employed in the mu nicipal shops Iked out in sympathy, but are the only members of organized labor outside the yards and contract shops that have tal:trj this action so far. - The strike committee h&a issued a long statement containing tabulated figures, which contend that the lowest living cost of a laborer's family is 1536.02 per 'year, whilj the present scale is 96 cents per day below this amount. One Ferris type stiip. the Bougrhton, was launched at the Babare Bros.' yard this morning, Just : few minutes be fore 10 A. M., the time set for the walkout. ' ABERDEEN YARDS OPERATING Woodworkers Refuse to Quit Posi tions, as Predicted. ABERDEEN, Wash., Jan. 21. (Spe cial.) The predicted extension of the strike in Grays Harbor shipyards to include all workers in the yards failed, the carpenters, joiners and the wood workers in the yards refusing to quit work. As a result, the yards here con tinue In operation. The wood crafts unions have de ferred action until tonight, when offi cers of the union, who were in Seattle last night to attend a district council meeting, will present their report to the locals. The carpenters and Joiners are bound by the rulings of the Puget Sound Maritime Council in Seattle, and in turn by their international headquarters in Indianapolis. Without authorization from the district council and interna tional headquarters, the labor wood workers will not strike. The strike will be discussed by building trades men also at the regu lar ' meeting of the Building Trades Council tonight, at which the organi zation will install officers for the year. CIVILIANS AID MILITARY ECONOMIC PROBLEMS OF ARM ISTICE TAKEN UP. Arrangements Made for Relieving Germany's Most Pressing Food Jfeeds at Recent Conference. BT HERBERT EATARD SWOFE. (Copyright by the New York World, Pub lished by Arrangement.) PARIS. Jan. 21. (Soecial Cable.) From now on civiliai policies, made by civilians, will dominate in the further terms which may be necessary In the prolongation of the German armistice. This does not mean that Marshal Foch will not be the titular head of the allied-American delegation, but that as the problem becomes more and more economic, political business is to be handled by a body authorized by the peace conference to which reports will be made, and which will include ne gotiations on the final peace conditions. The amistice meeting on January 17 proved the need of broadening the deal- ngs. As announced In these dispatches ast week, the blockade has been brok en, so far as food goes, but restrictions still exist on commercial supplies. Ger many's more pressing food needs are to be filled by America and other coun tries, which are to be paid for in cash. Ships clearing with food cargoes are being started toward German ports im mediately, instead of waiting as at first planned, until German vessels could handle shipments. German merchant men to be turned over to America and the allies are passenger craft. Full charges are to be paid on these ves sels, the amounts thus accruing to be placed to German credit in buying food- American and British delegates at Treves, where the armistice was con tinued, were helped by Chairman Hur ley, of the Shipping Board. Civilians were impressed by the French with the necessity of using the utmost formality. carefully allowing the Germans time to read the new conditions. Some civilians asked laxity but the military authori ties declined to modify what they re garded as proper usage. Economic experts are to take ud further dealings with the GeVmans. In the meantime a commission of inquiry is to be- sent to Germany. Later one will be sent to Russia. UNIDENTIFIED MAN SLAIN (Continued From First Pa;e.) found that the man had been shot once in the left wrist, once in the ankle, and that the fatal bullet had entered under his arm and coursed downward and back, stopping at the back of his waist. The body was removed to the morgue. One of the letters in the man s clothes was from Mrs. Catherine Rosenthal; 354 College street. Mrs. Rosenthal said she had never seen the man. but that a man living near some property she had bought in Lents, whose name she did not know, had told her that the man had wanted to buy her property. She wrote, in reply, asking the man to call on her in person if he wanted to make a deal. Clew Is Sought. Another letter was from the secretary of the Ashland Commercial Club, ap parently in reply to inquiries that the man had made about farm property near Ashland. Still another letter, written in pencil and signed Cline, was addressed to a woman at a local hotel. At this hotel no such woman was reg istered, and police are withholding the name, believing that the woman may be coming to meet the man, and that they may get some clew. At the assay office the man eaid his name was J. H. Smith, but the ad dress he gave 1909 Stevens avenue is fictitious. Some ten days ago, according to the police, the man. giving his name as Smith, called at the assay office, said ho was a manufacturing jeweler, and had a large quantity of broken Jewelry melted up. It was when he came in with a second supply of the etuff that he assay people notified the police. Fingerprints were taken of the man after he had died, and police inspec tors are making an effort to establish his identity by them. The fact that he had so much Jewelry, all broken up, in his possession, and the addi tional fact that much of it was in itialed, -leads the police to believe that he was a professional burglar."

Frederich von Payer, " former Vice-Chancellor and leader of the Dem crats, and the Socialist leaders, Ebert and Scheidemann, demonstrated their ability to work together in the old Reichstag. They also can count on Konstantin Fehrenbach, the Centrist leader, as an ally. The coming into power of these groups will mean the continuation of the present armistice commission and the probable appointment of Scheide mann, Von Payer and Fehrenbach or Erzbcrger as the leading members of the German peace delegation. In Stettin, the Majority Socialists got 60,694, the Independent Socialists 8495, the German Democrats 30.722. the Ger man People's party 19,573. the German National party 90S4 and the Ccntraists 2S2.
