'SHANTUNG TO ''1
BE RETURNED
WILSON SAYS FALL DOUBT RE-
MOVED BY FRANK STATE
MENT."
ANNOUNCEMENT PLAIN
vlscouNT UcHIDA TELLS IA
PANS PLANS REGARDING
PENINSULA.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Aug. President
Wilson has issued a formal statement
saying that the frank statement"
made by viscount Uchida, as to ia
pans policy regarding Shantung.
fought to serve to remove many of
the MISUNDERSTANDING which had be-
gun to accumulate about this Ques-
ton"
The Presidents statement, made
public through the State Department,
follows:
1.-The government of the United
States has noted with the greatest in
terest the frank statement made by
viscount Uchida with regard to ia
pans future policy respecting Shan
tung. The statement ought to serve
to remove many of the misunderstandr
ings which had begun to accumulate
about this question. But there are
references in the statement to an
agreement entered into between ia
pan and China in 1915 which might
be misleading, II not commented upon
when the clauses of the treaty affect
ing Shantung were under discussion.
I. therefore. take the liberty of sup
plementing viscount Uchlda's state
ment with the following:
".In the conference of thirtieth of
April last, where this matter was
brought to the principal allied and as
ISOLATED powers, the Japanese dele
gates, Baron Maxine and Viscount
Chinda, in reply to = question put by
myself, declared that:
1.-The policy Of Japan Is to hand
back the Shantung peninsula in full
sovereignty to China, retaining only
the economic privileges granted to
Germany. and the right to establish
settlement under the usual condi-
lions AZ Tsing-Tao. The owners Of the
railway will use special police only to
insure security for traffic. They will
be used for no other purpose.
"'The police forces, which will be
composed OF Chinese and such Jap
anese Instructors as the directors OF
the railroad may select, will be ap-
pointed by the Chinese government.
mo reference was made to this
policy being In any way dependent
upon the execution of the agreement
of 1915 to which Count Uchida ap.
pears to have referred. Indeed, felt
1t my duty to say that nothing that
agreed to must be construed as an
acquiescence on the part of the gov
eminent Of the United States In the
policy of the notes exchanged be-
tween China and japan in 1915 and
1918; and reference was made In the
discussion to the enforcement of the
agreements of 1915 and 1918 only in
case China failed to cooperate fully In
the carrying out the policy outlined in
the statement of Baron Maxine and
Viscount Chinda.
II have, of course, no doubt that
viscOunt Uchida had been apprised OF
oil the particulars of the discussion
in Paris and 1 am not making this
statement with the idea of correcting
his, but only to throw fuller light
of Qualification upon situation which
ought TO be relieved of every shadow
of obscurity or misrepresentation"

TRIPART1TE OWNERSHIP
WOULD PUT POWER OF OPERA
TioN IN PUBLIC AND UNION.
LABOR UNIONS WOULD DUST
PRIVATE OWNERSHIP FROM
RAIL llNEe.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.

| "
Washington, Aug. 5.-Organized Ia
Dor has come out with the uneQuivocal,
formal demand that private capital be
retired from the railroads. A tripar-
tite control, composed of the public,
the operating management and the en-
ployes, is demanded instead. Addressed
to the American public and signed by
the engineers, the firemen, the con-
ductors and the American Federation
Of Labor. q formal statement Is issued
announcing this proposal. which will
be carried before Congress.
ut marks" says the statement,
"the step by which organized labor
passed from demands for wage In
creases to demands that the system of
profits in Industry be overhauled."
This sentence sums up in few
words the proposal of which there
have been hints and Indications, but
which is. now laid before the country
for the first time. Everywhere in Of
fetal Washington 1t Is recognized as
the most serious and far-reaching
proposition the country will be called
on to face.
Characterizing the proposal as ia
boris bill," 1t is put forth as a RENE 1y
for the high cost of living, because
the railroads are the key industry Of
the nation. 1t demands the genuine
cooperation and partnership based on
a real community of interest and par
ticipation in control" of which Presi-
dent Wilson spoke to Congress and
which the statement says has been
ignored by labor and the private own
ers of the railroads.
1--WE ask" 1t says, "that the rail-
roads of the United States be vested
in the public; that those actually en-
gagged In conducting that industry, not
from Wall street, but from the rail-
road offices and yards and out on the
railroad lines, shall take charge Of this
service for the public"
Briefly. labor's plan demands:
That private capital be eliminated
from the railroads.
That the private owners receive for
them government bonds with a fixed
interest return for every honest dollar
that they have invested"
That the tri-partite control, hereto
fore referred to. be established in cor
porations which shall lease the roads
and in which the public, the operating
naEements and labor shall be rep
resented equally.
That the public. the operators an !
the wage earners shall equally share
all revenue In excess of the guarantee
to private capital. by granting to the
operators and the employees One-half
the savings which are expected to be
made by such a perfected organixa-
ton and to the public the other half
as consumers, either by increasing
service without adding costs or by re-
ducing costs.
This role originates with labor"
says the statement, because labor
happens to have firm organizations
through which 1t may become articu-
late"
The trainmen were not represented
in the statement because w. G. Lee,
president OF the brotherhood, was out
OF the city, but 1t was said that they
join In 1t.

Washington, Aug. S.-Justice De
partment officials are convinced. they
said, that strong sentiment will back
them in demanding Jail sentences for
those convicted Of profiteering or food
boarding, and that no court would feel
content to let off profiteers with fines.
AS defined in section No. 6 necessities
shall be deemed to be boarded within
the meaning of this act when either:
"A-Heid, contracted for, or ar
in excess of his reasonable require
ments for use or consumption by him
self and dependents within reason
able time;
"B-Held, contracted for, or ar
ranged for by any manufacturer,
wholesaler, retailer or other dealer In
a quantity in excess of the reasonable
requirements OF his business for use
or sale by him for a reasonable time,
or reasonably required to furnish nee
essaries produced In surplus quanti-
ties seasOnably throughout the period
of scant or no production, or
"C-Withheld, whether by posses
sion or under contract or arrangement
from the market by any person for the
purpose of unreasOnably increasing or
diminishing the price,"
Section No. provides for the con-
domination of boarded supplies and
their sale in the open market.

Carey act years ago, but has never
been opened Messrs. Lowrey and VIII
liams, president and secretary of the
new company, respectively, have
opened offices in walsenburg and are
preparing to push the project.
A movement 10 on foot, started by
