J POINDEXTER IS IN FIGH TAILORS' STRIKE CAUSE SLACKER GETS FIVE TEAHS Rank anil File Arc Punlcd by Seattle Employer Bound by Agree ment of 33 Merchants Against Workers. Theory Advanced for Appor tioning Alternate Delegates. CITIZENSHIP AtSO FORFEITED BY GROVER BERGDOLL. EMP ' 5 '. i A .V i - 4 - J L' - SEATTLE, Wash.. March SO. (Spe e:al.) As the day for electing dele gates to the King county republican convention approaches, political lead erg are trying out this suggestion to cc how it will take with the rank and file: ' Select one former service man, on former progressive and one regular for whom Seattle will make a figh for election as national delegates; ap portion the alternates as may be de termined upon later. In theory this suits a lot of repub lican leaders, but mere are others who are insisting on further details. They want to know who the men are that the divisionists or apportionists have in mind. It is insisted, by the lav. that the trio would be bound to support the Foindexter presidential candidacy. Poindexter Plaa Scented. The plan for this allotment of dele fates is .declared to favor the selec tion of George H. Walker as delegate at-larire from Seattle. Walker, it is insisted, is the man whom Senator Miles Poindexter has asked to be elected and some of the politicians claim he has been chosen to place I'aindexter's name in nomination be fore the national convention. At the outset Jack Sullivan was the only former service man in the fight for national delegate, but now there are half a dozen or more who are making an aggressive fight. Some of the republican leaders, who - ane trvinir to apportion the places, insist the ex-service men should get to gether and unite upon one candidate or upon one delegate and one alter Bate. This idea appeals to some for mer service men, but others declare if they fight at all thry will wage a battle for all they can get. Several names have been suggested as the Tegular" to be chosen from the first district, but as rapidly as names are put forward the owners deny that they are in an open fight. While probably a dozen men have been mentioned as candidates for del rgate, tho fight has not narrowed down enough so that any couid be laid to be leading candidates, except George H. Walker, former progressive. Wood Forces 'Want Support. Just how this sort of a Seattle figfit would affect Chairman Sam A. Walker in his campaign for national delegate ha not been determined. It is un derstood Walker is keeping out of the King county fight, but he expects to be elected from the state at large, if necessary without King county sup port. The Wood forces, it is officially an nounced, are satisfied to have Poin dexter indorsed at the state conven tion and the national delegation in structed to use all honorable means to bring about his nomination for' president. Some of the Poindexter forces want the delegation instructed to go to the last ditch with the Spo kane senator, but the Wood forces will not consent to this arrangement. They want better than an even break to get the Washington delegation if it leaves Poindexter for some other pres idential candidate. Politicians are beginning to figure with some confidence that Poindexter will show up in the state about con vention time and may attend the Bell ingham meeting. At that time, if lie is there, a chance in the programme might be brought about through his personal influence, though some of the Poindexter men insist he will keep his bands off the actual choosing ot delegates if he gets the indorsement he seeks.

U.S. T, AMERICAN KEBIKE LIKENED TO TUTOR'S REPRIMAND. Intervention in South American Affairs Resented by Latin News paper in Buenos Ayres. BUEN'OS AIRES. March 30. The recent notes of the United States government regarding the anti-Peruvian disturbances in Bolivia are de scribed as "arrogant" in an editorial published today by La Prensa criti cising the policy of the United States, past and present, toward the South American republics. "The recent Peru-Bolivian con flict," says the newspaper, "produced new intervention from the WhiU House by means of . telegrams, the style of which appears to be more suitable to the action of a tutor to ward disorderly pupils than to the diplomatic style usual in dealing with sovereign states. Opinion in the re publics directly chafed by these tele grama laments that the United States treats them like protectorates or countries with limited sovereignty." The editorial refers to the protest against the American note to Chile, made by the United States chamber of commerce in Valparaiso, as "a just and opportune observation." and says the American citizens and doubtless those Americans o'n the rest of the continent regret the tone of the note, "because the atmosphere of sus picion and misgiving which it arouses is unfavorable to their welfare and the development of their interests which they are cultivating for the benefit of their own country."

Bead The OrcgonUn classified ads. SEATTLE. Wrash.. March 30. (Spe cial.) The right of an organization of employers to combine in an agree ment to maintain an open-shop policy was upheld by Judge Walter M. French today when he signed an or der giving the Seattle Merchant Tai lors' association a temporary injunc tion restraining A. Stark from treat ing with the Seattle journeymen tai lors' union. The case grew out of the tailors' strike last summer. In August 33 merchant tailors signed a stipulation not to contract with union labor ex cept with the permission of all the 33. In the association's complaint it was alleged that Stark had violated the agreement. Stark, it was charged, had informed officials of the union that he was willing to sign a contract with them. Concurrent with the ac tion for an injunction against Stark the organization of employing tailors rued suit for damages of $3200. . D. V. Halverstadt and A. J. Falkner. attorneys for the Merchant Tailors' association, argued to the court that the employers had as much right to combine against a labor union as unions had to take concerted action ainst employers. E. H. Guie and Mark Litchman, the defendants' coun sel, contended that issuance of the injunction sought would Drove a "two-edged sword," in that, under such an interpretation of the law. unions could compel their members not to work under open-shop condi tions. Judge French's order restrains temporarily Stark from entering into any agreement with the tailors" union. ine court took this action on the theory that Stark's alleged intention would be a breach of contract with his fellow employers.
