IANUARY'S TRADE
BALANCE A RECORD
Gain in Favor of United States
at Rate of Nearly a Billion
and a Half.

Washington. Feb. 20.--A loss of ap-
proximatelv s32,500,00O in imports,
but a gain Of Approximately 100000
IN exports, for the month of January,
1915. as compared with the CORE
sponding month of 1914, is shown by
figures made public at the Department
Of Commerce to-day.
The excess of exports over imports
for the month was Sl45,536, lO3, or
practically three times that OF Janu-
AIRY last year, and more than double
that OF January, 1913. In the six
months since August the monthly trade
balance has shifted from an excess OF
$19.4OO,396 on the import side to an
excess Of Sl45,536,103 on the export
side. exceeding that shown by any pre-
vious month in the cOuntry's history.
This is at the rate of nearly billion
ard a half year.
Imports for January, 1915, totalled
SOP 265,267, against S154,742,923 IN
January. 1914, and 1853 ,O63, 438 in Janu-
ary. 1913. Exports aggregated $751;
sol $40 in January this year, as com
pared with S204,066,603 in January OF
last year and s227,032,930 in January,
1918
Of the January imports, 6267 per
cent entered free of duty, against 81
rer cent in January, 1914, and BOO per
cent in January, 1918.

ALLEGED SHIPPING
LOBBY DWINDLES
Senate probers Hear OF Strug'
Cling U. S. Merchant Marine
Association.
-F-nm Tic Tlnuuc nurs,u.

Washington. Feb 20.-The alleged
lobby Of the Shopping trust, which mas
hccn nut forward "a the secret Zoe OF
the shipping bin, shrunk into insig'
njfcancc to-day, when its organization
and history were unfolded before the
Senate Investigating Committee oy
Wallace Downcy, of 80 Church Street
New York City.
According to Mr.. Downey's tesu-
mouv. the United States Merchant Ma
rinc Association. of which he was the
originator and guiding spirit, mustered
only Sl,776 in total resources. On
one occasion, 1000 circular letters
were sent out TO persons who might
be interested IN the merchant marine
of the United States asking them TO
enroll rs members in the organization
In response there were eleven con
tributions Of $40 each. Downey al
mitted that he was forced at one time
TO borrow 50 to buy postage stamps
with which 20 circulate prospectuses
e the organization, and that on an
other occasion So was expended fOr
advertising. -,
The alleged shipping lobby dwindled
into insignitcance as Mr.. Downey pro-
cceded, and for a time the investiga-
ton bordered on travesty. 1t was
quite evident that the ship builders
and ship owners Of the United States
did not regard the United States Mer,'
chant Marine Association as much
more than a name.
The Senate investigating committee
adjourned until Thursday, and 1t IS
probable that it will make only per
! functory investigation now that the
shin purchase bill is regarded as dead

Damages Upheld by

ARGUMENT BY PARKER
AND LABOR LEADERS
GomperS Says A. +. of L. Would
Not SuccOr Strikers If IT
Could.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-An unpicce'
dented plea was made before the
House Appropriations Committee to-
dav. when Alton p. Parker, coun-
sci, and Samuel Gompers and FRANK
Morrison, Of the American Fcdcrat'o"
Of Labor, representing organized labor,
argued for the Inclusion IN the genera
deficiency bin of an appropriation OF
$4,000 for the relief OF the DanDuIy

ages under the Supreme Court decision
in the famous Danbury hatters case
That the Appropriations committee
will not include the item IN the Ohl'
thereby insuring that a labor sym
pathlzer will offer an amendment 70

was the authentic report after me
hearing. The committee postponed
vote until next week.
The argument of the labor repre-
s6ntatives was that the sherman anu
trust law was not intended to apply 70
the peacefuI acts of labor unions, and
that the faulty construction OF the law
was responsible for the plight OF the
Danbury hatters.
They contendcd that the members OF
the Danbury hatters' union some OF
whom had no active connection win
the strike-were about to lose their
savings because the supreme CouI'
held them individually responsible IA
the noted strike case.
Judge Parker argued that the SD
preme Court decision was at variance
with the evident intent of Congress re-
carding the exemption of labor unions
from responsibility for peaceful strikes
and boycotts. The Clayton bill. amen
datorv of the Sherman law. had con
tanned fl labor exemption clause which
corrected the faulty construction OF
the original act When the Sherman
law was pending Senator George offered

He also contended that the author OF
the Sherman law and Senator hoal
had said that the law did not apply "a

II was suggested 20 Mr. Gompers by
MIR. Fitzgerald that the damages as

FAR EAST PROBLEM
DECISION DELAYED
European Situation Keeps U. 5
from Shaping Policy Tow.
ard Japan and China.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-ln view of the
pressure OF the European situation,
the United States has postponed for n
few days "A decision on what it's policy
should be IN regard to the negotla-
tons between Japan and China.
Thus far no representations or notes
have been sent by the United States
20 Japan or China. or any of the inter-
ested powers, although Ambassador
Guthrie, at Toxic, and Minister
Reinscb, at Picking, have been advised
of the differences between Japen's
memorandum of its demands on China
as given to Great Britain, France, Rus
STA and the United States and the YER
sion given 10 the same powers BY the
Chinese Foreign Office.
The diplomatic representatives Of the
United States have not been instructed
TO discuss the matter officially with
either the Japanese or Chinese govern
ments, but will learn which of the two
versions IS the present basis for nego-
tiatiOns.
Administration officials who have
been comparing the demands furnished
by China and those submitted by Japan
now find that the former list contained
twenty-one and the latter eleven stip-
ulationS.
The Chinese memorandum is under
stood to conform substantially to re-
cent published accounts of it ard to
include a far greater measure of con-
troll over China than the eleven stipu-
lations given the powers at Toxic. In
the latter list, officials were inclined to
think thes"open door" policy would
not be affected, but the arrival of the
Chinese version, it is said, changed the
situation.
