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.

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."

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

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.

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.
