CONTINUE STRIKE IN ARGENTINA General Tie-Up is Rumored BUENOS AYRES, May 31.—That a general strike involving all workers in Bahia Blanca, southern Argentine seaport of Argentine, may be called within the next forty-eight hours, is the tenor of despatches reaching this city from Bahia Blanca. Sympathy for the striking long- shoremen is reported to be intense thrucut the small port and it is con- sidered probable that other trades will follow the harbor workers out within the next few days. Foilowing the wave of strike senti- ment which resulted in the Rosario and Santa Fe tie-ups, the walkout of the Bahia Blanca harbor workers is arousing widespread interest among workers thruout the Argentine. The spirit of the men is excellent, accord-. ing to leaders of the strike. Merchants beseeching the local au- thorities to end the tie-up by which they are losing large sums of money, have urged the use of repressive tac- ties, it is reported, but the picket lines are holding firm in the face of the police provocation.

PLAN MORE TALK ON WATER POWER To Take it Up When Congress Opens WASHINGTON, May 31. — Three big questions—water power, farm re- lief and “governmental economy”— are already named by congressional leaders as the prime issues of the next session in December. In the ‘re- cent session congress functioned more openly in the interest of big business than any other congress: since. the war.
