Behind Closed Doors.

BY coincidence the house commit
tee on immigration was considering to-
day data supplied from the state de-
partment regarding Japanese lmmigra-,
ton, when attention was called TO the
development in TOXIC and although the
data before the committee was purely
historical, relating to a period anterior
to tho passage of the Webb act, the
committee decided that it was the part
of prudence to consider such subjects
behind closed doors at this stage.
In administration circles there was
feeling Of optimism regarding the re-
lations between the United States and
Japan and the highest officials did
not hesitate to express the opinion that
satisfactory agreement soon would be
reached. There was no intimation as
to the probable basis of such an agree
ment

New Treaty Suggested.

When attention was called TO the
fact, however, that the negotiations
had been suspended last August be-
cause Of a radical difference of opin-
ion between tho two governments as
to the meaning of the existing treaty,
one Of the officials who would be di-
rectly concerned in the proc ceilings,
such condition would be TO frame
new treaty which would so precisely
define the rights Of each party that
there could be no further difference
Of construction.
1t has been understood that in the
course of the exchanges this idea of
an adjustment by the means of a new
treaty was mentioned, though today it
was stated that Japan had not made
any formal request Tor such a conven
tion. Therefore, it is believed that the
way is still open for the resumption of
the negotiations on tnat basis and it
was suggested that is probably what
Baron Maxine had in mind when he
referred to "other ways Of dealing
with this issue.
Pending Raker Bill.
The subject before the house COM
treaties and points of international
law, bearing on the provisions Of the
pending Raker immigration bill. A
brief prepared by John Bassett Moore,
counselor of the department, set forth
that in several instances the measure
probably would contravene existing
treaties, particularly in so far as If
would violate most favored nation
clauses The brief indicated that the
state department holds that any legis.
lation Of the nature of the Raker bill
should contain q clause stating specif-
lcally that the treaties are not abro-
gated
President Wilson, referring today to
the address of the Japanese foreign
minister, lot it be known that so far
as the Washington government was
concerned .-ere was no interruption in
the friendly relations between Japan
and tho United States. No pres.
sure, it was said had been exerted for
an answer to the last Japanese note,
nor had there been any request for a
new treaty Tne president did not in
dictate what wound be the next step in
the situation, but intimatod it would
be along lines that would manifest a
continued friendliness toward Japan.
Whether new treaty would be nego.
tiated, ii appeared, depended first of
all on lue settlement of the debatable
question Of whether California had vio-
lated the present treaty.

While the Liverpool market was clos

it imperative that futures be bought

Under the restrictions of the Liver

ORGANIZED LABOR UNJUST

The announcement of President
Fairfax Harrison, OF the Southern,
that in view of the depression caused
by the war the salaries of all en-
ployes receiving more than $2.500 a
year will be cut, makes glaring ono
OF the irregularities In the railroad
service that has come through the
power OF organized labor. Since
1900 the cost OF living has increased
decidedly. To meet this increase the
pay of railroad employees has been
raised in nearly every grade. These
increases vary but the average Is "a
per cent. The total amount involved
Is COLOSSAL when It Is considered that
the railroads employ In excess OF L.
100000 men. The increase in the
pay OF engineers has been 33 per cent:
firemen, Al per cent; machinists. 80
per cent; conductors, 35 per cent;
other train men, 81 per cent; and gem
erai and other officers, 10 per cent.
