COMING INTO THE OPEN

Within few days the railway eXecu- tives have abandoned the confidential or secretive attitude which has character ized them when this somewhat ominous situation has been under consideration among them Apparently they now are persuaded that the four unions of the railway employees have perfected what they feel is a well disciplined, thorough ly harmonious organization, so powerful that it is able to paralyze all trafflc Tn the United States excepting the move ment of passenger trains. The govern ment at Washington would prevent ln- terference with mail trains.
 Both sides to this impending struggle confess that the purpose is to standard ize the work time so that it will be adopted all over the United States as an eight-hour day, and then to pay for all service performed in excess Of elght hours at the rate of one and one-half of the wages paid for eight hours service.
 If the view taken by the railway ex- ecutives is accurate, then to yield to de- mands of this kind would so greatly in crease the cost of operation of the rall- roads that in many cases dividends would have to be passed or, at least, greatly reduced. In the next place, the railway executives admit and thus are willing to go on record, what the railway president to whom reference was made in the first para graphs of this article stated last fall would be the inevitable result of yielding to these demands-namely, that the railroads would be compelled to aban- | don all attempts to gain new capital with which to make much-needed inn provements, including terminals, and ex-
 pand systems. That, then. is the issue as railway managers see it.
 POINT OF VIEW OF UNIONS 1 Aside from admitting that the state | ment made by some of the railway com 1 panies' executives that the railway
 unions will demand what is called an
 eight-hour day, with pay for overtime
 at the rate of 50 per cent more than the rate paid for eight hours work, is a cor | rect statement, some of the leaders of
 the unions are reported to be certain that the railroads can afford to grant these | demands One of these leaders has been | quoted as saying that experience has l proved that an increase in wages has
 usually been followed by an increase in
 railway business. This leader is also
 quoted as saying that the time has come
 when the railway operatives should re-
 ceive a larger share in the wealth of the
 country which represents in great part | their labor than they have in the past been receiving.
 | The situation offers such appalling pos
 abilities that it is believed to be certain
 that public opinion vii, at last be so

with my associates he replied, how
ever, speaking generally, Japan's am
bition Is to have China benefit like
Japan from the fruits of world civil
li2ation and world progress. The
Japanese and Chinese people have
sprung from the same stock. Our fu-
ture destiny is a common destiny that
Is historically involved"
Though he was unable to dwell on
n detailed program, the premier con-
tinued, he would affirm taht Ameri-
cas- interests In China would be
harmed in no wise by Japan, which
had no intention of violating China 5
sovereignty or preventing Interested
nations from having equal opportuni
ties.
People talk of closing the door,"
he said THAT is a complete non
possumus.
so long as Japan's vital interests
and dignity are not infringed, Japan
Will take no aggressive step against
any nation, especially America"
will tho Japanese alliance with
Russia be the basis of policy in the
orient?" he was asked
Japan, true TO her obligations, nat
urally will he bound In her future
policies by her alliance with Great
Britain and Russia" he responded,
but that does not imply disregard of
fostering amity with others, notably
America, whose friendship and CO.
operation we have every reason to
cherish. The empire faces a situation
which demands strenuous and unified
eXertions to secure reforms of the
national life, to nourish the strength
of her resources and to place the ma
tion on an unshakable foundation of
secure and lasting peace in the far
east. Our supreme efforts abroad
should be maintain faith with for
eign powers and to be strictly fair
and upright. Japans progress as a
world power, which is inevitable, must
be marked with prudence and caution,
especially in the period of world
crisis"
The premier said he saw no like
lihood of more active participation
in the war by Japan. He ridiculed
suspicious that Japan had designs in
regard to the Philippines. saying that
if any power were to be there, he
was glad 1t should be America.
Concerning the contention that the
cabinet was reactionary and that Its
creation was opposed to the rights
of the people, the premier said with
military brevity:
MY appointment is in exact ac-
cordance with the provisions Of the
Japanese constitution.
''Not revolutionary, not aggressive,
not militaristic, but constructive -
that is my program" declared the
premier in conclusion.
