I were trebled when the last line of com munication between the city and the outside world was closed by strikers. The decision of stevedores to join in the strike has tied up the entire port of Beuuos Aires and all railroads are. at a standstill.

T-v - MEWS I'. TO HEAR DIPORTANT CASES (United Press) ! WASHl.NCJTOX. With its calendar filled with highly important cases, the ' Supreme court convened yesterday for : its 1917-1X term. In line with an old ; time - cnstom. it adjourned after for mal business to call on the President. i A decision is expected speedily on i the coustitutonally of the draft law, under which UOO.OXtO men are now in service. Should five justices vote the law invalid, all these young men could return to their homes. Scarcely less important is the de cision on the child labor.Should this be invalidated, all national efforts to reform child-labor conditions must be abandoned, and the field given over to the states, several of which are de. cidedly unfriendly to such legisla tion. There is an understanding that the Supreme court will give these measures right-of-way. Before the court also some of the most important trust-busting cases the. United States ever started. If all were won, the so-called steel, harvester, shoe machinery anthraeite. lake towage, corn products trusts would be compelled to follow the Standard Oil Company into "dissolving." But there are lumors nothing so unsanctitied as a "hunch" or a '"tip" could come from the court itself, of course that the court will just natur ally fail to reach these cases. The executive branches of govern ment feel the trusts can be practical ly dealt with through price-fixing and profit taxing. Certain officials of the executive de partments '"hope" the Supreme court will let things go at that until at least the, war is over. Two cases important to union labor are the-arttemnts of the.
