San Francisco, Sept. 17.?Strike'
riots and disorders in which fifteen i
persons received injuries ana ou i.u-.-,
ers were arrested, continued through-1
out the day following the wal&out o:
28,000 iron workers and sliipbull :ers.
which brough work to standstill on:
more than $150,000,000 r.aval and merci
ant vessel construction for tne government.
The strike is characterise:!
as the most extensive in the history
i
of the Pacific coast. j
Full details of the strine aiu tne
demands of the 25 unions involved
for higher wages have been reportel
to Washington. The employers have
placed the issue squarely up to the
J ?-. % Mi
federal officials, closing auvNu n?,4V
plants and making no attempt to operate
while they await government ac^
tion.
The strikers, most of them skilled
mechanics, started quitting work at
9 o'clock this morning when the 10,000
Iron workers in the Oakland and
San Francisco plants of the union
Iron Works laid dovn their tools. The
strike spread rapidly until every snipyard
in the bay district was closed
i down and more than 100 rac:or?es,
I - -machine shops, automobile concerns
and other plan^ were affected. Late
this afternoon it was announced that
( 450 employe'/ of Hall & Scott woul!
join the strike tomorrow. The com-!
pany is engaged on government contracts
frr aeroplane motors.

Street Riots
No.' demonstrations took place lit
connection with the iron workers
walkout against their employers, tju i
when the thousands of strikers left
I
their work and spread throughout th I
city the worst rioting and disorders
* took place in connection with the
strike of street car men. j
Fifteen separate riots took placed
during the day and as many smaller
disturbances in "Which ^cars wer?
stoned, non-union motormen and condoctors
dragged from the platforms
and passengers, including women., Injured
and cars disabled. The police
charged .the striking iron workers
with the responsibility for the disorders.
Ten rioters were arrested to
i>*? r?iA/?A whan th# mob attacked a
- car.
Employers in the Iron trades an*
Shipbuilding industry charged tha i
the strike of their men was !argetyj
prompted by sympathy for the strHt :
ing carmen.
I
In a statement issued by the iron
trades' council from union heaaquar j
ters tonight this charge was empriat*f
cially denied. The statement ^claim j

Compromise OtYered
At a final conference of both sides'
today's statement said the union or-1
fered to reduce their original cemands'
of increase averaging 35 per cent to
increases of 20 per cent "or trie men
who are now getting as low as $2.25'
a day and 10 per cent, increases ror
others. 1
The unions declare their willingness
to enter into any conferences and
point out that even after the strike
started today a conference was held
with the employers bnt without reaching
any successful termination. Answering
the charges that the men are
unpatriotic in striking the statement
points out that the iron workers and
shipbuilders".of tne I mon iron wui.3
a^ne subscribed for $131,000 of Liberty
Bonds.
Despite the increased disorder an.l
rioting connected with street car
strikes following the sympathetic attitude
taken by the iron workers and
shipbuilders -after their walkout today,
the United Railroads tonight resumed
complete night service. .

two months will be spent in the United

"I think it should be understood

of the Japanese people.
Viscount Ishii went to America as the
representative of the state, but we
speak particularly for the people."
"We desire to study your economrc
conditions. We wish to visit your
cities and your factories. We want
to know the causes of your prosperity.
First, we will spend about ten dayg
on the Pacific coast with the special
purpose of studying the question or
Japanese laoor. inai is a *ci? important
problem. Personally I have
the feeling that some of the Japanese
in the United States lack 'an understanding
of -what is expected or tnera
and I think that we, coming rrom tne
home country, can give them some
suggestions."
Mr. Masao also spoke of China. Hi

he Argentine minister to Germany*
iad explained to the German govemnent
that the handling of passports
.0 the German minister was a personil
matter and did not signify a rup;ure
of relations, was classed as or
loubtful accuracy by Foreign Minister
Pueyrredon today. It was true that
i rupture had not been created by
handing Count von Luxburg his passports,
the foreign minister stated,
out Dr. Molina's insTructions did not
provid? for any explanation of the
situation to Germany.
Rupture Probable
The foreign minister reiterated today
that there .will be a rupture of
relations with Germany if the latter*s
explanation of the Luxburg incident
is not absolutely satisfactory. He
requested the senate to abandon tne
proposed secret session set for today
to consider the matter as he prefers
o make all explanations at a public
session later.
No request for a safe conduct has
been received from Count von Luxburg.
He has notified the foreign orfice,
however, that he plans to leave
Argentina by a Dutch steamer sariing
September 28 or on a SpanlsH
vessel October 2.
Since being handed his passports
Count von Luxburg, it is stated, hag
been circulating the statement that
the idea of sinking Argentine ships
"without leaving a trace" was suggested
to him by the foreign minister
of Argentina as a means of preventng
complications. This statement
characterized by Foreign Minfsf?r
Pueyrredon as the "greatest, most
sLameful barefaced lie" in his official
experience.
