PORTUGAL REVOLT MORE SERIOUS MADRID, Jan. monarchial movement in Portugal has assumed a more serious character, a dispatch from Vigo reported today. PARIS, Jan. silence today hung over the situation in Portugal, where monarchists are fighting to restore Manuel to the throne. Portuguese officials here declared that all direct communication with their country had been severed.
The only advices reaching here came principally from Madrid. The whereabouts of Manuel are unknown. A Madrid dispatch yesterday said he was aboard a steamship off Lisbon, awaiting a favorable opportunity to land. The Portuguese legation was without information regarding the insurrection. Press dispatches were eagerly read at the legation.
These messages called attention to the fact that several ministers supporting the monarchist revolution have the same names as ministers who served under President Paes. who was assassinated. They are not believed to be the same men, however. Officials at the legation expected the situation to be cleared up within twenty-four hours. In the meantime Portugal's peace delegation continued its labors.
It was believed here that even though the Portuguese government should change in form, the personnel of that country's peace commis- Fake Cops Pinch Mask Violators A. J. Townley and J. R. Brunt are under arrest, Thursday, on the charge of imper.

HIGHER WAGES IN EUROPE FOR PROTECTION OF AMERICAN LABOR IS AIM OF SAMUEL GOMPERS WASHINGTON, Jan. wages in Europe to keep up high wages in this country is one of the main aims of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, now in Europe, it was learned in labor circles here today.
Realizing that the products of cheap European labor pouring into the American market will force wages down, probably despite tariff, Gompers hopes to boost wages in the old nations through the international trades union, which he is now endeavoring to organize, primarily to advise the peace conference on labor questions. Gompers plans to make the international union a permanent organization, Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, said today. Its aim: will be to better the conditions of workingmen in all parts of the world, Morrison said, "I believe the first step of such an organization will be to put the American standard of labor in force in Europe," he added. "The war has drawn the civilized world much closer together and labor conditions in one part of the world are certain to react in other parts. The tendency will be to pull down the higher standards and this is what it is hoped to counteract." Morrison said the aim of Gompers in organizing the international union WAS much broader than simply to keep up wages in this country.
"If the peoples of Europe are to be bettered A8 a result of the war, it is certain that one of the first things to do is to improve their labor conditions," he said, "and the international union would work toward that end, just as the American Federation of Labor has done in this country." The international union GomJ pers is organizing will be kept WAR COUNCIL TAKES UP PUNISHMENT FOR KAISER AND OTHERS While the legislature is delving in the cost of bread it should also consider the cost of milk. If some of the lawmakers will take the time to look around a little they could find something in milk prices that would be interesting and, very likely, amazing. Perhaps they could get some light on the situation in Sacramento that would explain why people of this city, center. of dairy industries, are paying a higher price for milk than cities not similarly located. Milk is even more essential than bread.
If there appears to be profiteering in bread that warrants investigation let there be an investigation of milk prices conducted at the same time.

The two are being held CAR COMPANY BOARD TO TAKE UP WAGE RAISE Until a meeting of the P. G. and E.
company executive board is held to consider the increased wage Armands of the local carmen there will be no announcement from the local headquarters, Manager MeKillip said Wednesday. fficial notification of the aCtion of the carmen's wage board has not yet been received by the company. At a meeting Wednesday night the carmen made it plain that they will vote for a strike, if necessary. to gain their wage increases, holding that the present scale is wholly out of proportion with the cost of living. The men demand an increase of wages from the present wage scale, ranging from 34 to 38 cents, to 46 cents per hour for the first six months of employment, 48 cents per hour for the second six months, and 50 cents per hour for employes who have worked for the company two years or more.
The company offered a counter proposition as follows, which was turned down: 38 cents per hour for the first three months, 40 cents the next nine months, 41 cents for the succeeding year, 12 cents for the next year and 44 cents after four years' service. Following the meeting the car men gave a statement of their stand, as follows: "At present we have to be on duty soine sixteen or seventeen hours in order to work nine and ten hours. We want this matter arranged so that we can have some time at home. We do not see how any fair -minded judge can deny that we are entitled to an increase of wages. Our work is responsible and yet we receive no more than is paid for common labor.
"Another protest we have to make is concerned with the report of Superintendent McKillup. He gives the public the impression that we are allowed two days off a month on pay, Such never has been the case. We get two days off without pay. "The arbitration clause also is to by the company, Ever since the award given 116 in the case of J. Derr, a discharged conductor, who was reinstated and given some $1200 back pay by a committee composed of Judge March, T.

of the kaiser and his associates was formally discussed by the supreme war council today. The belief prevailed in certain quarters that the council will adopt some form of the program suggested by the American delegation in this regard-appointment of a special commission to investigate thoroughly the culpability of all those responsible for the war from the kaiser down, so that none might escape. It was expected that the various forms of punishment to be meted out will be taken up simultaneously, that nothing may be overlooked in the way of affording a warning for future potential warmakers. In connection with the discussion of responsibility and punishment for individuals the penalty for the German nation was also considered. it was now accepted that indemnities will be limited to reparation for damages, but the huge sum they are expected to amount to will constitute a national penalty, nevertheless.
Other matters considered were international labor legislation, the procedure under which territorial questions will be taken up and the international status of ports, waterways and railroads. The most vital propositions to be dealt with by the delegates apparently were being rounded into shape for discussion by the general peace congress Saturday. Aside from the Russian situation and the league of nations, practically every important problem was debated today. Russian affairs, so far as the associated powers are concerned, are now in the hands of a special commissionyet unnamed--white the league of nations probably will be taken up at tomorrow's session.

That is why the American delegates refuse to join in the Berne, Switzerland, conference, backed by Arthur Henderson, the British leader, who plans to admit the Bolsheviki, he asserted. "It is because the Berne conference will not truly represent the people that the American federation will not join," Morrison said. STOCKTON FLU ORDER UPHELD STOCKTON, Jan.

MURDER OF WOMAN PUZZLES OFFICIALS LOS ANGELES, Jan.
baffled in their efforts to identify the body of the woman found murdered near El Centro Tuesday, county authorities today enlisted the aid of other southern California peace officers and of Lower California and Arizona officials in their search. PARIS, Jan. Hoov-1 er today fiatly denied the charges in the United States senate dur. ing debate on the $100,000,000 food bill, that he had worked in the interests of the American packing industries. Hoover ridiculed the idea that he had benefited the big packers.
He declared that he worked to give American farmers a square deal and protect small packers. The attack on Hoover in the senate was made by enemies of the bill providing $100,000,000 to feed Europeans. Hoover was assailed as the man who will have charge of spending this money. "I apparently emerge in a new light as the friend of the Chicago packers," said Hoover. "At the same time the mail brings a port from Swift blaming the food administration for reducing their profits by $10,000,000 during the last year.
I don't imagine the packers would appreciate a wide circle of such friends. "I notice also I committed a crime by holding the October joint conference of farmers and representatives of forty packers, as well 88 bringing the packers together with representatives of the allied governments for the purpose of settling on a price for exports of pork that would give the American farmers a square deal and a distribution of orders that would protect small packers. "We have even tried to secure the continuance of these war arrangements through the armistice period and the opening of other markets, because the American farmer did his duty and produced the goods, "If the American farmer and the small packer now feel that these arrangements are wrong, it would be the greatest burden off our shoulders if we could know it quickly. The British government is particularly anxious to be relieved from these arrange ments." The opposition to Hoover centers about these charges: That Hoover, in conference with packers' representatives before he sailed, worked out a plan of feeding Europe partly at American expense AB a means of stabilizing hog and pork prices. That Hoover had with him in Europe, until recently, Thomas F.
Logan, an employe of Swift the Standard Oil and other big corporations. That Hoover, as food adminigtrator, was controlled by the food interests in the United States, who made many times the profit in war time that they did in peace. That Hoover, therefore, is not the man to administer a fund which must come out of the pockets of American taxpayers. That President Wilson asked congress for the money, not be cause of his personal opinion that the money was needed, but because Hoover told him it was. That nobody in congress knows where the money is to go or whether Germany is to get some of the food purchased with it.
