PORT STRIKE IN ARGENTINA
TO CONTINUE INDEFINITELY
Buenos Aires, Feb. 1.-Leaders of
the maritime workers announced that
as a result of the failure of the recent
negotiations between the strikers and
employers they have organized to con-
tinue the port strike indefinitely. Nine
thousand maritime workers are now
out.
During the last few days 7,500 to-
bacco workers and 1,500 furniture
movers have struck, these movements,
in addition to partial strikes, affecting
eight building trades unions.
It is persistently reported that a
general strike will be commenced
March 1. Laborers assert that the re-
cent outbreak was premature and that
the "real trouble" had been fixed for
March 1, when it had been planned to
call a strike by all workers, including
house servants and food purveyors.
The Labor Federation has been work-
ing for some time to prevent the hiring
of servants, except by housewives cer-
tified by the federation.
President Irigoyen has proposed to
the Cabinet a bill for compulsory in-
surance for house servants, employers
paying the dues.

SOCIALIST PARTY LEADS IN
RECENT PRUSSIAN ELECTIONS
Amsterdam, Feb. 1.-The work of
counting the vote cast in the Prussian
elections is still incomplete, but par-
tial returns show that the majority so-
cialist vote was cut down in the larger
town, according to advices from Ber-
lin.
The independent socialists made
gains, probably a result of propaganda
carried on after the shooting of Dr.
Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemberg.
It is believed that the social demo-
cratic party, led by Philipp Scheide-
mann, will be the strongest body in
the Prussian parliament. The next
party in strength will be the demo-
crats,

She is bored with the humdrum
social routine and eager to "start
something"-which she does.
The very maximum of action is
found in this whimsical comedy-
drama, now causing ripples of laugh-
ter, now wavering on the very brink
of what seems to be tragedy.

George Scarborough, of the
Motion Picture News staff says:
"Personally I consider this pro-
duction a masterpiece. There are
three factors in it that make me
come to this conclusion. First is
the most realistic Chinese atmos-
phere, accomplished by the use of
elaborate settings; second, the in-
teresting story, and third, the al-
most unequaled emotional acting
of the star, including that of the
capable supporting players."

The Captain had boasted of his
pirate brother so much that he had to
make good by assuming the role him-
self. The results were humorous at
first but they took a near-tragic turn.

You are shown the cleverness pur-
sued by the crafty Chinaman in his

ever, are the minions of the law, who
seem to have eyes and ears every-

Vantyne Carter didn't know
whether he was a poor rich man or a
