This Government
Not to Recognize
New Republic Now

Precipitate action will not be taken
by the State Department in recognising
the republic of China. This Information
was given out after the petition of the
Sun Vat Sen government had been re-
ceived.
Before any action is taken to this end.
the Administration will exchange views
with the other powers. So far no ex-
preston of opinion has been asked of
the United States by any other gov
ernment, and none asked by this Gov
ernment, but 1t Is certain the powers
will act more or less In concert when
the time comes to act at all.
The petition of the republic for rec
ignition Is as follows:
The Manchu government having en-
tered into negotiations with the republic
Of China for the purpose Of abdicating
its entire sovereign rights, powers and
privileges. we fervently pray for recog-
milton in order to avoid a disastrous
interregnum."
Should the Manchus abdicate, as now
predicted. and the republicans are able
to establish q form Of government ca
pable Of maintaining peace and order, II
10 altogether probable that the recogni-
ton Of the United States will soon be
accorded.

SAYS MRS. STUART
Speaker at Meeting Yester-
day Says Condition Should
Be Reformed.

That the Consumers League asks toe
much at this time and must modify its
conditions IL all the stores are to quail
ify on the proposed white list" is the
opinion Of Mrs. William @. Stuart,
chairman Of the investigating commit
tee. .. ....
At the second meeting of the league
at Miss Maderia's school yesterday,
Charles +. Nesbit dwelt upon the pos
sibilities Of the league and its ability
to appeal to merchants and business
men. and to Congress for legislation
for women who work.
, Mrs. Stuart said girls were working
thirteen hours day and frequently
employees In Industrial establishments
In the city were expected to put in
extra time without extra compensa-
tion. She urged the league to lower
the standard SO that the better in
dustrial establishments could qualify
on the white list" She pointed out
that the present wage scale asked for
by the league was higher than any
store In the city, save one, was paying.

abdication, despite the threats Of Pre-
mier Yuan Shi Kai that he will resign
-'nless they yield, has convinced the
majority of revolutionary sympathiz-
ers that the Manchus will abdicate only
at the point of bayonets.
The armistice will expire on January

moved to Jehol by that time the repub-
