WAITING FOR ADVICES.
State Department seeks Further
Light ON Demands.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2O.-The United
States is still in a waiting attitude as
regards the negotiations proceeding be-
tween China and Japan. IL was thought
to-day that the suspension OF the nego-
tiations reported in dispatches from
Pekin might delay indefinitely IN ac-
ton by this Government.
The State Department does not feel
that 1t Is fully informed yet on the
subject of the negotiations. This. 1; Is
believed. is partly due TO the fact that
the negotiations themselves are In an un-
certain state, with important changes
In the proposals under discussion liable
to be made at any time. Much of the
Information gathered by this Govern
ment's representatives abroad Is Of such
conflicting character IL * not known
how much of II il authentic.
II was asserted officially to-day that
10 communications have been addressed
by this Government either to the
Chinese or japanese Government. II *
understood, however. that informal in
Quiries will probably be made from time
to time as occasion arises. but these. IL
10 said. will he solely for the pur-
of getting information.

'DANBURY HATTERS
ASK U.S.. PAY FINE
b. Parker and GOmpers
Appear Before House APP
preparations Committee.
PLEA WILL BE REFUSED

W~AsHrNdroN. Feb. 20. - Ex-Judge
Alton Il. Parker of New York and
President Gompers Of the American
Federation Of Labor appeared before the
House Committee on Appropriations to-
day TO urge favorable action on n re-
quest hat Congress appropriate s29O. 900
10 enable the defendants in the famous
Danbury hatters case to pay the fines
and costs for which they were held
liable under the recent decision OF the
Supreme Court of the United states.
The motion made in behalf of the
Danbury hattcrs has the support of the
labor unions and has been indorsed by
nearly all members from Connecticut
In the House. The casc Is without
parallel In the history of Congress. Fol
the first time the Government is called
on to pay the fines Of men adjudged by
the courts to he guilty Of unlawful acts.
In presenting the application for relief
for the Danbury hatters Judge Parker
made the same arguments advanced in
the courts in justification Of the
acts of the men declaring a boycott on
their employers. He declared In brief
that Congress in enactinC the sherman
antitrust act did not intend that 1t
should apply to labor unions. He rom
tended that the intent or Congress in
1890. when the original law was passed.
was accurately reflected in 1914 when
Congress in enacting the Clayton law
expressly exempted labor unions from
prosecutions under the antitrust acts.

ffty-two Eastern railroads had entered
into an agreement for united action IN
a campaign to reduce the wages Of rail-
road employees this spring started broad
discussion of the possibility Of tho re-
opening of the railroad wage question
in Eastern territory.
The report, which caused considerable
apprehension in financial circles lest an
other great disturbance be added to an
already complicated financial situation,
was discreditcd in railroad circles.
1t was said on high authority that

ONE RESULT OF THE WAR.

No matter what else may be the
outcome of the fighting, there can be
little doubt that one result will be
demand by Great Britains overseas
dominions for a voice in determining
the future imperial foreign policy.
Premier Borden of Canada has al
ready indicated the Dominion's stand
on that point. In one of his speeches
he said the European war and its Is
sues mas emphasized the undesirable
ity of the overseas dominions being
without the slightest voice or influ'
ence in the management of the for
eign affairs OF the empire which so
vitality affected them. Something of
the same attitude has been taken by
the Australians and New Zealanders
South Africa has been too busy with
fits own internal troubles to give
much time to discussion on this sub
ject, but there can be no question
That the same feeling exists there.
Just as the British Isles rallied to
the government when war was un
avodable. so have the overseas do
minions, but in the United Kingdom
as well as in Canada, Australia and
New Zealand, there is a grim deter
mination to demand, when the wal
ends, closer popular control of the for
eign policies OF the imperial govern
ment. This will be strengthened by
and will strengthen the similar de
mands from acrojs the seas by the
outposts of the empire In this de
termination to insist upon popular ap
prevail OF foreign policies may b.
