Butte, Mont, June II. - Com.
panies owning the mines in Butte

Gently organized union, known as the

that Serbians employed in Butte
mines will continue working even if

demands to the employers, will re-
port late today to the union, at
mass meeting What action the union
as whole will take the committee
refuses to say.

although men who are members of
the new union said that additional
workers refused to go under guard
The number OF men who have quit
is considerable but definite figures
are not obtainable.

JAPAN OBJECTS TO
U. s. NOTE TO CHINA
Expression of Regret at Exist
ing Conditions Interpreted
as Precursor of Inter-
ference.

Toxic, June 14.-The American
governments note to China express
ing regret over the dissensions in that
country and sincere desire that tran
guilty and political coordination be
established, caused surprise and un-
favorable criticism in Japan, where the
action is regarded as ignoring Japan's
special position in China.
The feeling as expressed in official
circles is that the situation would have
been better treated by exchanging
views with the entente and espe ally
Japan, which is described as rigidly
adhering to policy of non-interfer-
ence in Chinese domestic affairs.
The newspapers call the action of
the United States glaring interference
and warn the government that it is
probably an epoch-making precursor
OF further activities.
Officials here expressed the opinion
that the Chinese situation will be set
tied by compromise.
Due to misunderstanding.
Washington, June l4.-Japanese re-
sentiment over the American note to
China is ascribed wholly to the pub
lication of garbled version in
Japan.
1t is admitted here that although
both countries have beeen striving for
a better working understanding, they
have not succeeded in reaching it.
Despite efforts of the government,
japanese effort often has been inter-
prcted here as in denial of China's
sovereignty and American policy has
been interpreted in Toxic as undue
interference in Chinese affairs and
disregard of the special position Japan
claims for itself in China, much the
same as the position OF the United
States with regard to MEXICO.
1t has been previously explained
hat the American note vas inspired
imply by a desire to aid the rival
Ihinese factions to come together.

and more useful and prosperous citizens.
The object Of the Association was state
publicly at the time of its organization. Th
statement still holds good:
This organization is known as the Busi-
ness Mems Association, and it's purpose is
purely defensive, and made necessary by
the apparent determination upon the part
OF the labor organizations of the city to
either control or ruin every business enter
prise.
1T is the purpose of the organization to
maintain the principle that every man has
certain rights, one of which is to seek and
obtain employment upon such terms as his
services warrant, in order that he may SUP
port himself and those dependent upon him.
The organization seeks no fight with Or
ganized labor in any form, so long as its
members rights and the rights of the public
are not interfered with.
"The Associations position is that. while
organized labor has the mdoubted right to
become associated together for any lawful
purpose, yet when it becomes breaker of
the law by resortipg to intimidation, threats
OF violence, or by picketing and boycotting
those unwilling to submit to its dictation-
or when it takes upon itself the duty of chas-
tlsing persons who are seeking to make an
honest living-it then becomes an unlawful
and unpatriotic combination which must he
met by whatever organization is necessary

In order to preserve and protect the right
OF Individuals to life, liberty and the gaining
OF livelihood in such manner as they may
elect"
These are the principles to which members
of the Business Mems Association have subscrib-
ed These members include practically every
employer of labor, business institution, factory
and contractor in the city of Omaha-large and
small. The small and the large are protected
equally-in fact, one Of the Associations princi-
pal purposes is to guarantee protection to those
least able to protect themselves from being
driven out OF business by union organizations
The Business Mems Association is not fight
ing to crush the unions. It asks no man to desert
the union. 1t only asks and insists that union
man be deemed to possess no peculiar rights or
privileges beyond those held by other men, It
stands for equality for all, and for the freedom
OF every Individual to work, regardless of men,
bership in any organization.
That is the principle upon which the Bust
ness Mems Association has stood for fourteen
years and stands today. That is the principle up
on which it bases its conviction that the continued
maintenance of the "open shop" is for the best
interests of every man, woman and child in
Omaha.
We appeal to every citizen to use his influ-
ence and to cooperate with to maintain the
principles for which the Association stands.
