Japan WILL KEEP FAITH
Baron Goto Says China Will Receive

Lorlon, Aug. 4.-Japan Will keeT
faith in its engagement concerning
Shantung, according to statemen
by Baron Goto to the Mancheste'
Guardian. "Talk is heard" ne says
that the Chinese fear Japan will ro'
carry out her promise to return Shan
tung to China, and this fear seems
to be shared by o.her foreigner:
also.
Japan has always strictly obscrv
ID her treaty obligations and "a.
never had occasion to apologize To-
.non-performarce of ner promises. IN
treaty between China and Japan II
1915 clearly stipulated that Japa'
will eventually return ShantunG t
China. That engagement leaves noi
the slightest doubt that Japan VII
turn shantung over to China, fol
Japan has never been accused OF

foremen and laIborers leaving only the
clerical forces at work at the big
gravity yards.
Despite the fact that officials at the
yards claimed they will not be Grip
pied Ey the men going out, it is stated
by the union men that the strike will
completely close down the big yards
and also that cars for repairs will
not Re repaired at places where they
expected the work to be done mas
much as the men at these points also
will strike.
The situation at the Potomac yards
is serious. Never before in the
history of the yards were they tied
up so tight as they are today. There
is not single man at work.
A joint meeting of the strikers from
the Southern and Potomac yards was
held at 10 o'clock this morning in
the opera house which was presided
over by the local union officials from

ence was held this morning which was
attended by all of the strikers and
the committees were named there Is
nothing further to report at this time

decided to hold the meeting in tht
opera house where all future meet
