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. Use The Daily to reach the students.

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, The between season is at hand. You want to have your clothes look as good as they did at the beginning of the season. Z9 Ak I& i l 111,/./' ool
