Steel Decision 6 Months
linn Tie Trihune Enreanl

~ rom Inc tribune BUREAU
Washington, May 21.-Announcement
by the Supreme Court to-day that the
I'VE big antitrust cases had been trans
ferred TO the docket for reargument,
which means that no decisions are like
ly before some time in 1918. came as an
intense relief to those whose chief in
terest lies in getting action in the war
preparations.
The cases involved are those against
the United States Steel Corporation,
the international Harvester Company.
the Reading, the Lehigh Valley and the
United Shoe Machinery Company.
OF the FIVE. the one which afforded
the most satisfaction, from prepared
ness viewpoint, was the Steel case.
Rapid development of the steel-making
facilities, with view to rushing out
plates for the big feet of steel ships
to be constructed, has been somewhat
hampered. it is admitted privately, by
the fear of the Steel Corporation to de-
velop properties from which IT might
be divorced in a dissolution decree by
the Supreme Court.
While il is admitted that the Su-
preme Court has frequently taken COM
mon sense into consideration in decid-
ing cases. as we'll as the law and the
records of the lower courts. it had been
feared that in clearing up its cases be-
fore the summer recess the court might
hand down a decision which would have
a paralvzing effect on initiative by the
Steel Corporation at this very critical
period.
Now, 1t is pointed out, the big com
panics which are expected through
their enterprise to do so much toward
helping the government get ready to
meet the submarine peril through the
construction of steel ships, as well as
in other war preparations, know they
have at least a respite of six months,
which the Administration can continue
without much trouble by asking delays
before presenting the new arguments.

: II tho head Of the military party
=, The North. The Southern party is
,,rine IN strength. according to the
..bled reports from Toxic to the Jap
snese press here.
Il is not so much that the Shanghai
,,d Canton statesmen are opposed TO
china's entry into the world war on the
,iSs Of the Entente Allies and against
Germany. That was not and is not
nov the real issue. What is happening
now in Pekire is a wrestling match
between the South China and the
Northern factions. 1t is political
game, pure and simple.
Seek Places of Power
The important issue is whether the
sorthern patriots shall succeed in
making a good and profitable use Of
this war incident, which the gods have
thrown in their path-namely. to bring
enough pressure upon the present
Premier and his party 10 make room
in the Cabinet and the other seats Of
power for some Of the shining political
lights from the South. And the South
EN- faction seems 10 be getting its way.
The formation Of a coalition cabinet
IS the demand in Picking. as a compro-
mise measure. according 10 the Toxic
reports. The Southern party demanded
that the Premier form q new Cabinet
with a certain number of the Southern
leaders in il, first Of all, and then con-
sider the war treasures.
On TIE day when the Chinese Parlis-
ment voted down the proposal OF de-
elaring war. there was a regular rough
house mix-up in front of the Parlia-
ment gate Several representatives,
were dragged down from their car
riages and beaten by the mob gathered
there. The patriots and lawmakers are
exceedingly indignant. especially those
who have uttered the irdignity of bod
is injuries, and are agitating a move
70 impeach the Premier and mis- fellow
Cabinet min sters.
The military faction Of the North,
on the other hand, is savage in its
stand. u is absolutely, unanimously
and enthusiastically for the support
Of the Premier and his measures.
One Of the Japanese newspapermen
Fentured too deeply into the fray. He
vas mistaken for one Of the Chinese
" p. by the mob and was beaten
within few inches of lis life.
General Tuan's attitude is quite as
s,if as that Of his supporters. He
declared that If the Parliament would
rsss the measure declaring war against
Germany. well and good. If not, he
would ask President Ii Yuenhung TO
dissolve Parliament. And If that can
not be done-meaning. doubtless. that
the Presidents views are not entirely
one with his own-then. he declared,
he would not lift frger TO prevent
the Infatuated mob from smashing the
Parliament.

formal conference with Secretary Lam
sing, it was said at the State Depart
ment to-day. The British mission VIII
leave in this country many OF the ex-
perts it brought here. They will be
stationed in Washington and New York
for the duration Of the war, and, in ad-
dition, the British government plans
to send other specialists here.
Members Of the mission were disap-
pointed to find it necessary TO abandon
their trip to Chicago and other points
in the Middle West. The State Depart
ment expressed the desire that the mis-
sion put in all its remaining time in
Washington, in order to complete pend
ing negotiations. The mission twice
has postponed the date Of its meeting
with the Governor General Of Canada
to extend its time here.
The shipping situation. which under
lies all the other war problems, was
discussed by Mr.. Balfour at two meet
ings to-day, first with his own trade
experts and later with Chairman DEN
man and General Goethals, of the Ship
ping Board. The American officials
spoke most optimistically OF their plans
for increasing ship production by
means of wooden ships and standard
lied steel ships.
BaIfour Talks with Morgan
Mr.. Balfour also talked over with J.
i. Morgan the future relations of the
British government with the Morgan
firm in case central official purchas-
ing committee takes over the work. He
discussed the question of munitions
with f. K. Stettinius, of the same firm.
at luncheon.
The question of munitions is the
least settled of all those under nego-
tlation. AS yet there is no official in
the American government authorized
to speak with full authority on that
subject, and the British visitors have
had trouble in making final arrange
ments about the complicated questions
Of purchase. railroad transportation
and ocean shipment.
Mr.. Balfour dined at the French En-
bassy tonight, and will be entertained
at dinner by Secretary Lansing to-mor-
row night.

American Railroads to Help the
Railroads of France

Instructions have been issued by the
railroads wal board to the railroads of
the United States to take vigorous action
to assist in the organization of nine regi-
ments Of qualified railroad men for service
IN France. 1t Is an urgent necessity that
these men be sent to France at the earliest
possible moment.
Railroad executives rave been asked to
give immediate attention to a communi-
cation which has just been sent to them,
which says in effect:
"The French railways are badly run
down. They need more or less complete
rehabilitation, France has no men who
can be spared for this work. She wants
all her men ut the front.
Before we can train men To go into
the trenches we can supply Frances rail-
road wants and we can do it practically
immediately. Any men we send over must
be soldiers, so it will be necessary for the
railroad forces to enter the army.
W propose to make up five construc-
ton regiments of six companies each to do
this rehabilitation. Each regiment will
have an engineer officer of the United
States army as colonel and another afficer
from the army as adjutant. The other
officers will be made up of railroad men,
except that the commissary will be pro-
vided by the United States army. The
lieutenant colonel will be a chief engineer
of a railroad, or some one else of similar
experience. Captains will be taken from
the engineers of maintenance Of way, lieu
tenants from supervisors or roadmasters.

ficers for these regiments. They will re-
quire five chief engineers, thirty engineers

thirty bridge foremen. Each company will
have $50 track laborers and fourteen

"The next important requirement on the
French railways is for shop forces. They
are short of men to repair their locomo-
