Mad Itmh to Finish.
Throughout the city, or that part

DOGKMEN'S STRIKE
TIES UP SHIPPING
Twenty Vessels Unable to Clear
From New York as Result
of Walkout.
NEW YORK. March 1. Nearly
twenty ships In the harbor were sum
marily halted In the loading and dis
charging of their cargoes last night
when the longshoremen, stevedores,
and other ship cargo handlers quit
work.
It was the most effective tie-up f
the port's activity since the strike of
five-years ago. The virtual walkout
affected every worker, whether Fed
eration of Labor man or Internation
al Workers of the World.
It was the first move of "force" on
the part of the men In connection
with their demands for the signing
of new wage agreements, granting
advances of 10 cents an hour In the
rates of pay.
More than 2.000 cargo handlers were
directly affected by the walkout. The
whole array of longshoremen and al
lied workers In the city numbers 6,000,
and the remaining 4,000 will take ac
tion today.
The walkout is not expected to af
fect the coastwise workers.
Ships Immediately affected by the
longshoremen's action: Callfornlan,
Susquehanna, Florida, Illlllgom, Newa,
Alford Hage, Norlina. Quernmore, Bla.
Nation, Marie, Genoa, Aslog, and
Gogowan.
These ships are moored at the Lo
cust Point. Canton, and Port Coving
ton piers and the cargo transfer was
at a standstill all through the night.
The stoppage of the rrain loading
was an unexpected move.
The tie-up began at about 5:43
o'clock, and witbin half an hour not a
longshoreman was working on a ship.
The workers know they have at a
disadvantage the steamship compan
ies and other employing agencies, as
there is no apparent labor field from
which strike breakers can be recruit
ed, while there is a crying demand
from the foreign ports, particularly
the allied countries, for goods.
Meetings were held to determine
whether or not the men will stand
pat and make the walkout a holdout
or return to work and await the re
sult of negotiations between the
Longshoremen's Union representatives
and the employers.
The walkout occurred at the term
ination of the old agreement between
the longshoremen and employers.
This , agreement, signed last Feb
ruary, took cfefct on March 1, 1010.
and called for 27 cents' for dock
workers, 30 cents for ship hold men
and 32 cents for winchmen an aver
age increase of about S cents over
the previous scale.
The injection of the old I. W. W.
dispute with the Federation of La
bor Is expected to be a sinister In
fluence In the crisis between the
steamship companies and the cargo
handlers.
Police Marshal Carter has planned
to handle any disorders that may oc
cur. The police departments of both
the Baltimore and Ohio and the Penn
sylvania railroads have been pre
pared for emergency work.
FOUR INAUGURAL SPECIALS.
Arrangements have been completed
by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
for four special trains to Washington
for the Inauguration. The trains will
bring 200 men of the Mainland Naval
Militia and Company D, Tlrst Artil

U. S. Attorney Laskey Says Any
Conspiracy Will Be. Probed
By Grand Jury.
CALLS FOR CITIZENS' AID
Says He Cannot Act U.nless He
Has Evidence of Some
Combine.
Any combine or conspiracy to raise
prices in hotels, restaurants or other
public sen ing places during the Inaug
uration period will be investigated by
the grand jury.
United States Attorney John E.
Laskey made this announcement tcday
and asked that the citizens of the Dis
trict co-operate with him In protect
ing visitors from exorbitant prices.
Complaints of prospective Increased
prices have already been called to hl
attention, and he is anxious to get real
evidence of concert of action on the
part of those responsible for unrea
sonable advances.
Aska for Tips.
"Unless there is tangible evidence
that there exists an agreement or a
combination to raise prices the prose
cution of the offenders is Impossible,"
said Prosecutor Laskey. "I would be
glad to have he citizens give me any
tips as to Instances indicating a con
spiracy and I will mate a prompt in
vestigation. "Visitors during the Inauguration
period should not be fleeced or made to
pay exorbitant prices for meals and
lodging. It is our duty to protect them
to our utmost limit." ,
Police Helpless.
Commissioner Brownlow said that the
police were helpless to act. as there is
no law- except the Sherman anti-trust
law under which they could act.
The mere raising of prices, he pointed
out.' would not justify action by the po
lice. Ho Indicated, however, that the police
will be alert for any auspicious In
stances of prices boosting and that he
would co-operate with the United States
Attorney In keeping the cost of food and
lodging to as near normal as potslble.

Columbus Organization to Pro
vide Unique Feature of In
augural Music Program.
The musical menu offered the
guests of the nation during the week
of inauguration of a President of the
United States, this March. 1817, Is
rrcru limited thai on any other slrcl
r occasion In many years, "he
rlirolnatlon of an Inaugural ball, as
a close to the festivities of Inaugura
tion Day, has also served to elimi
nate the "Promenade Concerts' that
have followed It on the two sue
ceeding days and evenings
These concerts have always held a
large community feature in the
chorus of several hundred voices
made -up of singers of the National
Capital. The loss of this one attrac
tion, at a time when the "Community
Soul in Music" has been stirred
throughout the nation. Is a source of
regret.
Chairman Harper, announces that
Uie one vocal feature wU be the re
turn of the Columbus (Ohio) Gle-i
Club, that has been heard In these
concerts frequently and with great
pleasure. Lacking an Indoor oppor
tunity, however, the singing of these
forty men has had to), be arranged
for outdoor occasions In a decidedly
unique fashion. It Is designed that
at the. Capitol. In the line of march,
and at the White Lot at the time
of the flrekorks display, the Glee
Club, with the -use of megaphones,
will contribute their song to the na
tional function and to the enjoyment
of the visitors.
The United States Marine Band
will, of course, assist as Is Its cus
tom; but this Is a national organiza
tion, and does not All the gap made
by the omission of a form of enter
tainment and uplift outside the Juris
diction of things militaristic
Iodlans to Entertain,
Under the auspices of the Secretary
of the Interior, it Is true, three
events will take place of national
and musical Importance. These are
the two sacred concerts and the one
evening of drama, showing the art
work of our American Indians and
given entirely by Indian pupils of
the Carlisle School. The concerts of
the afternoon and evening of suuir,'
March 4. will Include concerted work
and solos, the soloists representing I
the afternoon and evening of Sunday,
the Tuscarora, the .Osaga and the
Cayuga Indian tribes.
The elaborate Indian drama of Mon
day evening, March 5. entitled "The
Feast of the Corn will be given by
nearly 200 Indian boys and girls in
full native costume, in a public play
house, but with no stamp of national
environment, to which the United
States might proudjy point as an ex
pression of Its art consciousness.
The comparison comes, inevitably,
with the nations of Europe who, as
governments, nave'iosterea me aria.
wasmngxim oiiers-iiu piwx iu m,,...
national celebrations, as well as fes
tivals, might be held. The old Pen
sion Office has served Inadequately in
the past. With the announcement but
recently of a new opera bouse to be
erected in St. Louis on a plan com
mensurate, with the opera houses of
Europe, and which will serve for
operas and festivals as well, we can
but emphasise a shortcoming here
that can only be remedied by na
tional support: for Washington Is a
small city, while St. Louis ranks
fourth in the cities of the United
States.
Subsidies .for Most.
And what has Europe done in the
past for music in the matter of sub
sidies? In Paris a subsidy of $160,000
was given annually for the support
of the Grand Opera House, and $0,000
for the Opera Comlque, both with
rent free: in Berlin, $27,000 from the
crown for the opera house and play
