Japan SAYS CALIFORNIA
LAW BREAKS TREATY
Reply to United States Note is Read
to Cabinet-Bryan's Absence
Delays Action.

Tokyo. Japan, June 9.-The re-
joinder of Japan TO the United States
note on the subject of the California
alien land ownership law reiterates
that the statute violates the spirit OF
the Japanese-American treaty by dis
eliminating against friendly power
The note charges violation OF aru-
Gle of the Japanese-American treaty
OF 1911, which authorizes subjects or
citizens Of the contracting parties to
own or lease houses, which are In
separable parts Of real estate. ii also
declares that the new law violates
the fourteenth amendment to the uni
ted States Constitution, requiring each
state to grant equal protection under
its laws to all persons within its
jurisdiction.
The former note points out that even
If the question Is an economic one, IL
enters the domain of international re-
lations and therefore becomes poll
teal question.
The California case continues TO be
the paramount topic Of conversation
among all classes. Several mass
meetings Of protest are being ar
ranged
Washington, June 9,--Absence OF
Secretary Bryan of the state depart
ment prevented the cabinet from con-
sidering officially the latest protest
OF Japan against the California anti
alien land law, though the protest was
read to the ether cabinet members.
After the meeting President Wilson
and John Bassett Moore, counselor OF
the state department, discussed 1t.
officials close to the government ex.
pressed the belief that an American
court would not sustain the points
both as to treaty rights and constitu-
tiCnal law raised in the Japanese
note.

ASSERTS RIVALS SAFE
STEEL TRUST COULD CRUSH OUT

Judge Gary Declares, However, That
Such 10 Not the Policy OF the
Corporation.

II. Gary. chairman OF the United
State Steel corporation. under cross
examination in the government en''
to dissolve the concern, admitted tnaI
the organization could drive rivals
out OF business but added that ne had
always opposed such policy.
Judge Gary said that it had always
been the policy of the corporation to
foster competition.
do you call buying up pig iron to
sustain the market fostering competi-
tion?'i asked Judge Dickinson,
Il would think that under normal
conditions the purchase by the steel
corporation of substantial amount
of pig iron simply for the purpose of
sustaining the market would not be
justified" replied the witness. Il am
sure ! never approved the purchase
Of pig iron for that purpose"
Judge Gary, although a director
with full power, said he never attend

he said he had power to examine the
minutes and wished he had exer-
cised It.
The witness said he did not know
anything about a contract that was
being considered April 30, 1901, be-
tween the Standard Oil company and
the corporation or its subsidiaries,
compelling them to buy their supplies
from the corporation.
Judge Dickinson read minutes Of
the Carnegie Steel company showing
that Mr. Bops, a director. had said
frequently that the company could
sell at high prices, fiji up the market
and then lower prices, thereby keep
ing their mills going. Judge Gary
said the statements were foolish.

|ND|CTs MINERS
UNDER TRUST ACT
Sherman Law Invoked Against
White and 10 Others.
CONSPIRACY IS THE CHARGE
Alleged United Mine Workers Chiefs
Aimed to With Operators to Es-
tablish Coal Monopoly and
Res,rict Competition.

Charleston, w. Va, June l0.-Tht
federal grand jury returned indict
ments Saturday against Presiden
John p. White and Is oIher officials o.
the United Mine Workers OF America
charging them with having violated
the Sherman antitrust law.
1, is alleged the defendants con
spired with the coal operators of west
ern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana ant
Illinois to raise wages in the West Vir
ginia coal field so as to prevent its
competition with the four other states
In the western market.
Besides White those named in the
indictment are:
Frank ]. Hayes, vice.president;
Thomas Haggerty, Joseph Vasey
James Cantrell. Charles Hatley, Marco
Roman, George II. Edmonds and Ben
jamin F. Morris, organizers, and Thorn
as Cairns, president; Clarence c. Grit
fifth, vice-president; James NJ. Crago,
secretary; James Diana, John Nutter'
Rome Mitchell, W. S. Reece, F. ID.
Stanley, U. S. Cantley and A. d. Law
ender, subordinate officers. all of dis
trict No. II.
The indictments charge that the ma
tional organization Of the miners hXes
the wages OF miners Of Pennsylvania,
Indiana and Ohio and intends to union
lie the miners In West Virginia, so as
TO fix the price at which coal OF west
Virginia can be sold in outside mar
kets, thus permitting the competitive
states to compete more favorably IN
the western markets with the product
shipped from West Virginia.
The markets specified are those OF
Cincinnati. Columbus. Toledo, Cleve-
land, Detroit, indianapolis and Chicago.
The object OF the conspiracy, 1t Is
charged, is to restrict the sale OF West
Virginia coal in these markets
The offense is said to have started
September /, 1912, and continued to
date. The alleged conspiracy, 1t Is
urged, has resulted In much violence
and lawlessness at the mines OF the
West Virginia operators on Point ana
Cabin creeks Loss Of life and destruc-
ton OF property necessitated martial
law.
Washington, June 10.-The indict-
ment OF nineteen United Mine Work
ers by federal grand jury In West
Virginia for alleged violation Of that
law caused great surprise in ofticihl
circles here.
Attorney General McReynolds said
that he had not ordered the prosecu.
ton and knew nothing about ii. Other
department officials expressed equal
ignorance, and 1t was explained that 1t
was almost unprecedented for a dis.
trict attorney to begin prosecutions
under the Sherman act without con-
suting the heads Of the department
of justice.
If It Is found that the indictments
were brought about solely on the
initiative of the local district attor.
ney, political interest will be di.
rected to the attitude Of the depart
ment Of justice.
