ton. The latter, accordingly retired to his
villa at Hayama. The Cabinet crisis has
had some effect in increasing the diplo-
matte difficulties. The Emperor sent Tor
Marquis Ito and received him IN private
audience. Nothing is known of what the
imperial commands were. The highest
opinion states that the crisis may reach a
momentous stage in the history of Japan's
constitutional government.
1t is stated that the Emperor IS deslrous
of increasing the dignity of Marquis Ito
by drawing him closer to his side and en-
tirely away from party management. The
Emperor's proposal has been matured by
the growing difficulties of the Manchurian
and Korean questions and the desire OF the
Katsura Cabinet to resign.
1t is not known what Marquis Ito will
do. He is the founder and upholder of
party government in Japan. If he with
draws his work of years may collapse, for
no other leader has shown the same meas
ure of control over the dictionaries. On
the other hand, he is urgently wanted in
a higher sphere, but his unselfsh devotion
to party leaders has impaired his influence
with the House of Peers and elder states
men, who regard his efforts to popularize
government as treachery to them and a
Cabinet formed by him might not be able
to make its policy effective in the House.

NO STRIKE TODAY
8ookbinders Will Take No
Definite Action Under
Three Days.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, July CIV A. Miller, tie
foreman of division in the government
printing office, against whose relnstate-
ment the Book binders Union Is fighting,
appeared at The government printing
office today and tomorrow morning viii
report for duty under instructions of Pub
lie Printer Palmer. The book-binders have
positively announced that they will walk
out if Miller goes to work, and that the
allied trades will take sympathetic action.
The Civil Service Commission issued
certificate of reinstatement which reach
ed the public printer about noon today.
and Mr. Palmer announced positively that
in accordance with the order Miller would
return to work tomorrow morning unless
there was in the meantime some execu-
tive order to the contrary. He declined
to discuss his policy further, and said
that he did not believe the bookbinders
would walk out.
Secretary Corte1you has advised the
Book binders Union that the charges
against Miller are matters for the con-
sideration of the public printer, as they
involve an employe of the latter's Office.
He also has advised them that the ques'
ton settled by the Presidents order OF re-
instatement and the charges OF unftness
as an employee now pending are separate
and distinct subjects, the former being
regarded as a closed incident.
The local branch of the international
Book binders Union held largely attend
ed meeting at Odd Fellows hall tonight to
consider what action should be taken in
the event that Miller returns to duty, as
he has expressed the intention of doing to-
| morrow morning. The meeting discussed
the matter for three hours and then ad-
journed subject to the call OF the arbitra-
ton committee of the union.
1t is understood that the union decided
to take no definite action one way or the
other for at least three days. 1t is also
said that this is partly due to the pros
pective visit of the executive committee
of the international Union, whose advice
and assistance have been sought in the
matter. President Tatum and the other
two members of the committee are said tC
be now on their way from Chicago.
