Looking Into Japan's Activities.
The Incident OF the recall Of the

ment to China led 20 much speculation
az to the precise condition Of our az
fairs with japan. About a year ago
the governments at Tokyo and Wash
ington agreed ITO communicate with
each other" should anything occur
threatening the status quo in the far
east The interest OF the United
States In the far east was well under
stood when the agreement was en-
changed. II that interest was threat
ened by Japan's activities in Man
churia or by the very recent agree
ment between Japan and China, japan
could not be ignorant Of how this
country must view It when the facts
became known.
The record Of the United States
with respect to the open door is wen
known to all the world. This fact
was doubtless the prime cause for ia
pans action In committing herself to
amlcable discussions Of conditions in
the far east. No suspicion Of I'M
friendliness TO Japan is implied in the
action OF this country in notifying 9TH

TORONTO, Nov. S-That the Amer
lean Federation of Labor intends t.
stand by President Samuel Gompers
Vice President John Mitchell and Sec
rotary Frank Morrison in their fight
to evade the Jail sentences imp )sed
in the United Stated Court for con.
tempt of court, was indicated today
by the attitude of the delegates in
attendance at the twenty-ninth annual
convention. 1t is apparent that the
Committee on the Presidents Report
will recommend that the cases be car
ried to the Supreme Court of the
United States. At least this is the
expressed opinion of many of the dele
gates.
The delegates vigorously applauded
points in Mr. Gompers' report, sum-
marizing the Buck Stove & Range
Company's injunction case and the
contempt proceedings which followed
The reports of Secretary Frank Nor
rison and Treasurer John B. Lennon
showed that organized labor has made
substantial gains in the past year, and
that the funds of the Federation are at
high tide with balance of $165,305
in the treasury.
The conventions attitude toward the
factional strife among the members of
the International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers was shown today when
the Credentials Committee reported
in favor of the faction headed by F. j.
McNulty and declined to seat James
J. Reid, of the Erie, Pa, Central La
Dor Union, President of the "Insur-
gents" and other delegates from or
carnations in Ohio, Iowa, Alabama
and Michigan, whose charters have
)een revoked by the Federation.
The greater part of tomorrow's ses-
ion probably will be devoted to the
