VENERABLE JAP FAV0RS
REVIEW ANGLO ALLIANCE

Toxic, Dec. 20.-Oelayed)-Ma Marquis
Shignobu Okuma, Japan's venerable
statesman. is strongly in favor of a re-
newal OF the Anglo japanese alliance
which expires in 1921.
Revision of the provisions should be
made in ccnsonance with the requests
of the new world conditions. he says
but the fundamental principal of the al
lance. that both England and Japan
should maintain peace in the far east
and in India and protect their mutul
interests, should remain unchanged.
with America and Great Britain as
its center, the league of nations can be
said to have greater possibility than
the holy alliance" he continues. Con
sequently if both countries act with mu-
| tual consideration the league may be
| influential. Once these countries run
counter to each other. however, the re-
suits cannot be predicted. We cannot
see at present the absolutely stability
Of the league of nations. The league OF
nations cannot secure the complete
| abolition of armaments and all the ma
| tions are now striving for the perfec-
| ton of their national defenses.'

PROBE OF OUTBREAK OF
RED PARADERS ORDERED
Reports Indicate That Many
"Parlor Bolsheviki" Were
Involved in Affair.

iustice agents were today ordered 10
make thorough investigation into the
Iyfth avenue olithurst of red parad-
org in New York yesterday, with view
to possjble further roundup Of reds
and "red" sympathizers. Early reports
Of fbe parade and it's consequent dis
order indicated that many OF the So
called "parlor bolshevih" were con-
cerned in it and the affair may give
occasion for roundup of those per,
sons. which has long been contemplated
bv the department of justice.
The department has mass or eVl.
donce showing that many prominent
and wealthy persons in New YORK ana
other cities are giving encouragement
and financial aid to the reds anu anu
while this class of persons is generally
cIassed by the department agents as
'hafmless faddists," the department
has had under consideration 1or SOM

VOTED TO STRIKE If
CUMMINS BILL PASSES

Washington, Dec. 26.--Ninety- eight
per cent of the 1876, 900 union railway
machinists voted in November to strike
with other trades in the event con-
gress enacted the Cummns railroad bill
with its antistrike provision.
In making this announcement today
William H. Johnston, president of the
Internationa Association of Machinists,
said the vote was taken before the sem
ate interstate commerce committee re-
ported out the Cummins measure and
that the result was not officially pub
lished because the association did not
want to appear in the attitude of at
tempting to threaten congress.
The machinists membership is around
500, 000 but not more than 125. 600 of this
number are employed by railroads.
President Johnston explained that the
strike vote stipulated that union rail-
| way machinists would quit work IL the
Cummins bill was passed by bott
| branches of congress. not by one.
| "When the roads were taken oVci
by the government the employees were
free" Mr.. Johnston said. land we pro
pose that If they are turned back Il
| private ownership. the employees shal
| be equally free. There - no necessit,
| for such drastic legislation as is pro
| vded for in the Cummins bin. Their
never has been a general railroad strik.

| So far as labor Officials are advised
they viii not be given another hearin'

they will keep up the fight against tn

neal finally to President Wilson. Presi

would be affected by the antistrke sec

as he had been advised.
