Another subject taken up by the
president in his answers to questions
and in his speeches was the Irish ques-
ton. This, he asserted. could prop
erly be brought up in the council of
the league under article NJ (which
makes il the right of every member
of the league to draw attention to any
thing anywhere that is likely to dis-
turb the peace of the world or the
good understanding between nations,

pends." The covenant would not bind
the United States to assist in putting
down rebellion in any foreign coun-
try, he said, nor would it limit the
power of this country to recognize the
independence of any people who seek
to secure freedom. He explained that
Ireland was not given hearing ut the
peace conference because the confer
ence had no Jurisdiction over ques-
lions of that sort that affected terri

The Irish-American opponents of the
league were far from satisfied with
this reply, and especially did they dis
like what they termed the presidents
righteousness. They asked him to
answer point-bank the question: Are
you In favor Of characterization for
Ireland?" and requested reply by
September %, when the irish execu-
tive committee meets In New York. 1t
does not seem possible that they ex-
pect a "yes-or-no" answer to such a
question.
Some one must have whispered n
warning TO Mr. Wilson concerning the

had good words to say concerning the

Japan, according to report, has been
asked by the United States to pledge
formally the return Of Shantung to
China, ana to set a date for the resto-
ration. At the time Of writing no re

and the Japanese foreign Office de-
MED that any such note had been re-
ceived from Washington. In state
ments issued in California. in reply TO
lists Of questions asked him, President
Wilson asserted that the League of
Nations would have a powerful effect
in forwarding the final restoration of
Shantung to China, and that no other

result. In one of his San Francisco

Disorders in Boston. due to the
strike of policemen, were largely sup
pressed by the military, but the situa-
ton otherwise was little improved.
The tiremen, however, decided not to
quit, and the threatened general strike
was at least postponed. The attitude
of the American Federation of Labor
toward the Boston case is peculiar.
President Gompers, while defending
the strike, admitted the police were
given charter on the express un,
derstanding that they would not strike,
Then Mr. Gomper's secretary visited
Boston to study the situation and on
leaving announced that the federation

not favor general strike at this time.
Chiefly because the police force Of
Washington also was unionized I'm the
face of orders to the contrary, Presi.
dent Wilson took a hand in the mat.
ter of police unions. He sent a tele-
gram to Commissioner Brownow Of
the District Of Columbia i'm which he
said: 81 think that any association
of the police force of the capital city
or Of any great city, whose
object is to bring pressure upon
the public or the community, such as
will endanger the public peace or EN-
barrass the maintenance of order

or permitted"

and that the employees Of the corpo-
ration are now compelled to resort to
a strike in order to prove to Judge
Gary the authority of their selected
representatives to present their griev-
ances. In the Chicago district, at
least, strike-breakers will not be en-
ployed, according to the company of
ficials. The strikers will BE paid Off
and discharged permanently, and If
the walkout is general, the mills will

Up to'the present time there have

this assurance is forthcoming we

FOR CLOSED Ship.

A new wage agreement to be put
into effect September has been
tentatively agreed upon by miners
and operators of district No. 30 en-
braclng the New River field.
n new feature Of the contract is
in the CLOSED shop" clause. This
provides that all men i'm the New
River field shall be affiliated with
The United Workers, and if any one
Other than a union miner is employ
ed, the miners will automatically
discontinue work.
The method of settling disputes
will assure the operators of the dis
continuance of "wild cat strikes,
since the contract provides that
men shall continue TO work i'm the
event Of difficulty, and the CON
trovcrsN shall be settled within ten
days after it occurs, by commission

HINTON SH0fMES OUT ON STRIKE.

Al o CLOCK Wednesday morning
4SI men employed at the C.. &. O..
shops at Hinton. walked out, add
ing to the thousands who are out
over the various railway systems
OF the country. Like action was
! taken by the shopmen at Clifton
Forge Tuesday. In noting the same
the Daily Review, says:
The expected happened this af-
icrnoon at O'Clock when the eight
hundred Or more men employed
at the G.. so. Railway shops in this
city went OH Il strike in pursuance
OF the action taken in many parts
OF the country the past few days by
the same class of workers. 1t is
understood that the strike is the re-
suit of~the delay on the part of the
director general of railroads to
grant the increase in pay asked for
some months ago. When the rail
way shop employees thought they
would secure favorable action the
Director general decided upon a
different plan to effect a statement
which was not accepted, hence the
strike on many of the railroads.
1t will be recalled that the men in
the Huntington, Handley and Rich
mond shops quit their tasks the lat
ter part Of last week. And those
in the Clifton Forge shops kept at
work it was thought that they had
decided to defer action to await the
outcome in Washington, but the
walkout this afternoon tells a differ
cnt story. One report has it that
orders were received here from the
high officials of the shop employees
union calling on the men TO quit
their tasks.
AS the shopmcn are relied upon
to keep the equipment of The rail
way in running order, the chances
are That fewer trains will be oper-
ated until such strike is settled.
Every effort will be made by the Of
iicials to keep the trains moving,
passenger and mail trains especial
ly. In the next day or two there
may be some definite news from
Washington, wher" the matter is to
be adjusted.

THREAT OF R. R. LABOR STRIKE.

The threat of Il railroad strike
continues to spread throughout the
country despite the efforts of the
organized labor heads to hold the
men in check until authoritative
and Official strike votes can be TAX
Ell.
Shopmen everywhere throwing
down their tools in premature
strike, ii was reported, were threat
eninS national industry because
without them the railroad equip
ment canont be kept in usable or
der at the most necessary of all
tlmes-crop moving season.
Above that lowered the threat of
an even more serious labor situa-
ton, the demand of all the organiZ-
ed railroad industry that the profits
of the business be overhauled to re-
tire private capital and create a
new tripartite control.
