 Counsel for the government declared that the steel case would seem to fall within the Reading case and that the holding of the Steel Corporation to be legal corporation under the antitrust act would appear to conflict with the conclusions expressed in that and other decisions

IRISH RESOLUTION
 IS BROUGHT UP IN
 HOUSE OF COMMONS
By Associated Prsss

London, April 2s.-The United States Senate's Irish resolution was brought up in the House of Commons today and drew several pointed questions. Ronald Mo- Neill, unionist. for the Canterbury di- vision of Kent, asker the government If it had "any official information regard ing the manifesto to be issued in Wash ington by an organization known as the the Philippine commission for indepen- dence. in which 1t was maintained that American belief in the principle of self determnation would be demonstrated more inpressively by conceding the re- peated demands made for indefNSdence by 10.5O0,oOo inhabitants of the Philippines than by passing resolutions in the Senate expressing sympathy with the cause of Irish Independence. and whether "as a mark of respect for the American Senate the House of Commons would be enabled to follow the precedent set by the Sen a.e by moving a resoiution in support of the Philippine demand for sef-deter- imitation.
 Andrew Bonar Law, replying for the government. said he had no information on the question. which did not seem to be one in which the British government was concerned
 Numerous other questions followed, and Sir Edward Carson. the Ulster ufrfonist leader, asked whether it was not better for each country to leave the other alone.
 Bonar Law replied he thought that in other words that was his answer

MANY JAPANESE IN
 SIBERIA MASSACRED
Guard Reported Annihi. lated and Residents
 Massacred
By Associated Pres.

Washington, April 2S.-A serious up- heaval in the district of NiSoEaevsk, on the eastern coast of Siberia, far north of vladivostok. is reported in an official statement issued by the Japanese foreign office and received today by the state department.
 With all communication cut off, the up rising is shrouded in more or less mys- tery but the foreign office said all re- ports received point to the conclusion that the Japanese guard in the district had been annihilated and several nun dred Japanese residents, including the consul, nassacred. The number of men in the guard was not given.
 While the foreign office statement said conditions in this district had been as- suming a serious aspect since the peT ginning of March, this was the first in formation to be received here that the situation in that particular part of Siberia was critical.
 Japanese expedition to Nikolaeysk. the principal city of the district. located on the Non river, is impossible. An expedl- ton was started. however, on April lS under escort of the warships Mikasa and Mishima, and 1t reached Alexandrovsk, a port on the Siberian coast about 200 miles south of Nikolaevsk, on April 2, where 1t will remain until the ice breaks up The foreign office said the troops landed without meeting resistance and that the Japanese residents in that dis .trict were found to he safe. Most or them were taken aboard the Mikasa.
 The foreign office statement declared the hopelessly chaotic condition into which the neighboring localities have been thrown made it clear that the ob- taining of information would be impossi- ble without more drastic steps. and that 1t was in consequence of this that the military expedition was dispatched north u.a rd
