 OPERATORS REQUlEE PORTS
 Among the points raised in the oper- ators' questionnaire, was whether the commission expected it's finding to- be binding on both parties 10 the scontro- versy; how it expected to enforce it's award; whether it considered it had powe CT to adjust wages either upward or whether it would determine coal mining costs; whether coal prices liked to sustain it's awards would be made to expire simultaneously with the Lever food control act. and whether 1t proposed to provide for the introduce ton of modern. machine devicese- in mines to lower cost of coal.

US. ID WITHDRAW MILITARY FORCES
 N0W IN SIBERIA
Japan Notified of Cancella- ton of Agreement By Which American Units
 Were Sent to Russia
sy am.si.tss rrss


 Washington, January 12--De-
 eisies to withdraw the American
 troops from Siberia upon the com pietion of the repatriation of the Czecho-s sleyak forces next month has been reached by the American xoversment. The troops were sent to Siberia in accord with an agreement between tho United States, Japan and the en- tente powers to aid the Czechs and pro- tect the Siberian railroad, and Japan has been notified by the United States of the cancellation of that agreement in SO far as it affects the presence of an American military expedition. When the Czechs have been removed. the American railroad commission, headed by J. F. Stevens, which has been in Russia since before the fall of the former Czars government, will leave vlAdivostok for home and-the American soldiers under Major General Graves will follow as soon as transports can be made available. Presumably the Sdm6 HnlpS WAicH dIe to tdh hc tHS Czecho-Slov across the Pacific will be used. Two of these vessels the President Grant and America, are ex- peeted to leave New York within few days.
 With the departure of the Americans Japan will be left alone to assist the loyal Russians in their efforts to stem the eastward march of the bolsheviki. The rapid progress made by the soviet forces has been source of apprehen sion in Japan and the cabinet at Tokio has been considering means of com |batins what Japanese officials generally regard as serious m enace. Suggestions have been made that Japan materially increase its force of S0,eo0 troops in Siberia and 1t has opened negotiations with the American |government with this end in view. So far As was learned today, however no agreement has yet been reached The American force numbers about 5000 men and was sent into Siberia last |sufnnner. Its presence has been the sub- |ject of numerous spirited debates in thf Senate and resulted in the adoption of resolution calling upon President Wilson for statement of the admin |istration's policy.
 In reply to this resolution. the state
 dcpartrne6t said the purpose. of send- i iHk tho sex petition was solely to assist the Czechs and to guard the railroad in / the meantime.
