Unions Ignore
Kansas Court

Kansas City, Mo. Dec 3.-(By
the Associated Press.)-Although
union officials cited to appear had
voted to ignore the proceedings, the
Kansas court of Industrial rela-
tions came to Kansas City. Kan,
today to conduct an investigation
of the packing situation from all
angles, with special reference 10
conditions which might arise should
the Kansas union men join
the nation wide packing strike
scheduled to begin Monday morn
ing.
Representatives OF packing com
panies and executive boards Of 10
Kansas City. Kan, unions. were
under subpoena TO appear at the
inquiry. Whether the union men
would go before the court at the
last moment or would carry out
the terms OF resolution adopted
by them last night to refuse to
obey the courts citations was
being widely speculated upon.
Men Told to Refuse.
The suggestion that the union
men refuse 20 appear, was made by
Redmond s. Brennan OF Kansas
City, Mo-, national counsellor OF
the Amalgamsted Association of
Meat Cutters and Butcher Work
men OF America.
Spokesman for the union meIi
said today that the only condition
on which they would appear be-

Washington, Dec. Am eastern
council of nations now appears as
the objective of the governments
gathered here to discuss far east
ern questions.
The same nine powers who are
| trying to establish a set of princi-
! Piles to guide each other in their
commercial, financial and political
relations with respect to the Pa
/ cific will be ultimately grouped in
an organization to see to it that
! the principles adopted at Washing
ton are fairly applied
! The United States government in
! its original invitation endeavored
! to include all nations which might
/ possibly have interests in the far
east with the exception of Russia.
| When the Russians get stable
| government, they, too, will be in
vited to join.
| In other words, this development
| of an association of nine or ten ma
tions for a precise object-the tran
utilization of the far east-that is
in line with President Hardings S
theory that international confer
Z
not merely for the moment when
the problems are laid On the table
/ but subsequently when disputes
arise as to the meaning of inter
probation of principles.
Can Aid World Peace.
Mr.. Harding's idea is that world
peace can be materially assisted by
!
! by periodic conference of all ma
tions. He summoned five powers
/ to participate in the limitation of
naval armament because they alone
! seemed to be the factors in such a
! problem. Similarly the nine pow
| ers called to discuss the far east
were the only ones to whom the
far eastern settlement was vital. In
( the same sense, Mr.. Harding has
taken occasion to refer to the or
gaHiZation created by the Versailles
treaty as the European League of
/ Nations The president has let it
be known that he believes the
league should abide because it has
a definite value for Europe. Prob
/ ably if he were asked to define his
attitude toward central ana SOuGn
America he would say that the
Monroe doctrine and the Pan
American understanding Of the
last generation had developed an
I association of the nations OF the
western hemisphere.
But the greatest thing that may
develop out OF the eastern council
of nations is the formula it may
furnish for the graceful abrogation
of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. The
statement of the japanese opposi-
tion leader that the Anglo-Japanese
should be broadened to include the
United States is similar to the ut
terances of Prime Minister Lloyd
George, who has been urging a spe-
cial agreement of Japan, United

JURY ARGUES LONG As FATTY WAITS
Harding Seeks Association
Of Nine or Ten Nations to
Avoid Friction i'm Far East

States and the British empire to
take care of the far eastern mat
tiers. To this the United States
government cannot agree. High
ofhcials have made that clear.
Cancel Previous Pacts.
So the logical development which
viii come at the psychological mo-
ment is a grouping OF nations in an
eastern council. The compact unit
ing them would automatically can
Gel all previous agreements which
might be inconsistent with it. Such
an agreement would be the Anglo
Japanese alliance, and while IL

gate the alliance. it could be ter
minated Immediately if Japan and
Great Britain mutually agreed to

tice. Difficulties on that score are
not anticipated if satisfactory un-
derstauding or convention is
drawn up by the nine powers gath
cred here.
There has already been one sig
nificant indication that the nine
objective. 1t was the appointment
of a commission to study the ques-
ton OF giving up extra territorial
rights. Al powers have agreed to
the principle of abandoning these
rights but the commission must de-
termine exactly when the Chinese
judicial authorities are competent
to protect foreigners and their dis
putes. This commission is COM
posed of representatives of each of
the governments in session here
but the commission will have to re-
port to a larger body-probably
the eastern council of nations.
Other intricate problems that can
not possibly be settled at Washing
ton and require further study and
examination will be left to com
missions which in turn would re-
port to a conference of powers.
Chinese Are Eager.
The Chinese themselves are eag-
er for such d permanent confer
ence to be established and the pro-
posal has been given favorable
consideration on every side. AL
ready its value has been apparent
even in adjusting matters of direct
concern to two powers such as the
Shantung dispute. While it is true
that China and Japan are conduct
ing the negotiations, the fact is the
United States and Great Britain
are keeping an eye on the nego-
tiations ready to lend hand and
propose compromises at the prop
er moment The affairs of the tar
east have always been considered
a matter for common action by the
great powers but heretofore the
existence of the AnglO-Japanese al
lance has impeded International
cooperation along broad lines for
it has associated two of the powers
so closely together as to make it
difficult for the others to bring
about concerted action. The east
ern council would abolish alliances
altogether in the Pacific.
