more ironworkers on the job. The cast
ings came yesterday. but the company
could get no iron workers, the union re-
fusing to supply mon aud the iron contract
is still tied up. Buchanan said last evening;
-We will keep up this fight II it lasts for
year, until the original strikers in Harris
burg are paid union wages. The strike
here, with a number of others hroughout
tho country against the Pennsylvania
Steel Company, is in sympathy with the
Harrisburg men,"
Men are on strike against the company,
he said, as follows: Washington. ls5 men;
Scrant on, SO; New Haven, 1925; Kansas
CITY, 30, and about $50 men in several towns

JAPANS DEBT TO Ray.
Fun Credit Given for the Benent OF HIS

Special Cable Dsspaseh to THE SUN
TOXIC, July 3.-The Japanese press.
without single exception, eulogizes SEQ
rotary Hay. The papers acknowledge that
Japan has received directly and indirectly
inoalculable benefit from his righteous
and farseeing statesmanship. They recog-
nize that he was the warmest promoter
OF cordial relations between America and
Japan. His memory will be long cherished
as the man who initiated the open door
policy in China and who established the
principle of the territorial integrity OF that
empire.
He was also the leader in restricting the
present hostilities. Thus he rendered Gig
nal service to the peace OF the entire world.
The effects of the Panama Canal treaty
in the future will reveal that above all
others his life affected the destinies OF the
Orient. The effect of his death on the
great issues pending will be unavoidable
owing to his straightforward diplomacy.
The newspap ers ascribe to him the simple
hearted honesty of Lincoln.

HOTEL BELMONT DEADLOCK.
Kitchen Outfitters Strike to Compel Sub.
Contractor to Recognize Their Union.

There is a mix-up over the arbitration
agreement of the Building Trades En-
ployers' Association regarding a strike
of the range mounters and kitchen out
filters at the Hotel Belmont in East Forty
fourth street The general contractors
are Marc Eidlitz, Son Il Co., and the range
mounters who struck were employed by
the Duparquet Huot 4 Moneuse Company,
as sub-contractorS.
The company employed union men at
the hotel but there was a strike at it's
shops for recognition of the union and the
employees went out at the hotel All
kitchen work is stopped as the firm ia
prevented in the meantime from employing
non-union men. There is difference of
opinion a. to whether. the general con-
tractor being a member of the Building
Trades Employers Association, it would
or would not he violation of the arbitration
agreement if non-union range mounters
were put to work, though by a non-asso-
citation firm.
