The men who were requested to leave Harrison following an informal mass meeting held in the open in front of the Midway hotel, where the railroad men were stopping. In the crowd were several hundred men who came to liar rison about noon today in two special trains. The meeting was called to dis cuss steps to be taken to prevent fur ther trouble in the operation of the N. and N. A.

 The exodus of the union officials was entirely orderly. They asked for pro lection. and were accorded an escort and pledge of safe conduct.-Gazette.

TRACTOR FUEL
 NOT HIT BY TAX
ATTORNEY GENERAL ALSO FIX. GUIDES GAS USED IN BOAT
 ENGINES.

In an opinion rendered yesterday At torney General Utley said that the one cent gasoline tax authorized by act of the last legislature will not apply to gasoline or kerosenes purchased for fuel for farm tractors, while being used on farms. The act assesses a tax of one cent a gallon on all gasoline and kerosene to be used in cars or trucks operating on the public highways, the talk to be collected by the seller at the time of the purchase and to be paid monthly into the county treasury. Pro vision is made also for a quarterly set clement with the Highway Department under which the department will re- ceive half of the tax.
 The attorney general said yesterday that the intent of the law clearly is to levy tax for the use of the highways, and that tractors while in use on the farm could not come under this prOv's- ion. Tractors operating for demonstra- tion purposes, however, would be re- quired to pay the tax as they would use the highways in travelling from farm to farm A farmer buying tractor at the agents office would be required to pay the tax on gas used in getting his tractor to the farm. but thereafter, in the opinion of the attor- ney general, he could purchase fuel tax free for use in the tractor on the farm.
 The fuel tax also will not apply to use for motor beats, the attorney gen eral has held in letter written in re- sponse to an inquiry. While rivers

 RELIEF WORK
EXPRESSES HOPE THAT INVISI- BILE GUEST DINNER WILL BE
 GREAT SUCCESS.

Governor McRae yesterday commend ed the work that is being done by the Arkansas branch of the European Re lief Council, and expressed the hope that the state will report its full quota to the national fund.
 Campaign officials yesterday an nounced that Mrs. H. Fl. Foster has been given charge of the musical pro- gram at the Invisible Guest Dinner" to be held by the council at the Hotel Marion April s, and Mrs. Charles Frauenthal has charge of ticket ar engagements.
 In commenting on the work in Ark ansas the governor said:
 ''As a citizen and as an official I am very glad to see the work that is being done in Little Rock and in Arkansas to raise funds for European child re- lief. The people of our own state and of the South have always responded when suffering humanity called. and they will not fail this time, when more fering and starving in Europe. It is true that money is not quite so plenti- ful with us as it was a year ago, but it is also happily true that we have had no starvation an dour country has not been overran for years by contend ing armies. We should be thankful that we live in America and in Arkan- sas. and certainly we should give lib orally when upon our liberality de- bends the lives of innocent little chil- dren.
 As national chairman of relief work in Europe. Mir Herbert Hoover render ed the world distinct service during the war, and his energy in the recent campaign has meant much toward its success. It is my understanding that the European relief campaign for pub lie subscription was formally closed over the country on March 31, and the S33, 100000 was declared to be raised. However, this completed fund depends upon a number of states raising their entire quota. Arkansas must raise more than S25,00O before her part of the fund is completed. Good and faith full work has been done over Arkansas under the leadership of the Hon. Hamp Williams of Hot Springs but l am in- formed by the local committee that Lit tie Rock and Pulaski county have rais- ed less than half of their quota. Ger tainly. our capital city does not care to have it said that her citizens have fail ed to do their duty in the saving of human lives-of little tots who have no- where else to look but to big-hearted America for their daily bread.
 Tt is a pleasure to be allowed to con tribute to this worthy work. and hope to see this Invisible Guest Dinner an unqualified success. It is hard to inn agine where $10 of our money might do more effective and profitable work, when we can invest this sum and save the life of a child until next harvest, and at the same time help to raise a fund to purchase Arkansas rice for these little sufferers. We are doing humanity a real service, and we are making our dollars do double duty. ."- Gazette.

NOTES BETWEENU J. g.. AND JAPAN LEAVE [. UNCHANGED.
Harding Administration Must Dictate Next Step In the Tap Mandate Con-
 troverSy
By Associated Press

washington, March 11.-Diplomatic exchanges between the American and Japanese governments concerning the status Of the Pacific cable center of Tap have left the situation unchanged, and it remains for the Harding ad- ministration to dictate the next step.
 Japan's reply to the protest against Japanese control of he island sent by the Wilson administration through the American embassy at Tokio is under stood to have contained a reiteration of the Japanese claim to exclusive Jurisdiction by reason of the mandate awarded by the supreme council.
 As to Japanese control of the for mer German cables centering in the is land, against which the American gov ernment particularly protested, Japan is said to adhere to the principle of free use of the cables by all persons, hut with operation and control re- maining under the power that Is in possession of the ends of the cables.
 Japan holds that this arrangement hold in the case or the cables that run from the Americans island of Guam in the Pacific to Yokahoma in Japan. The company which laid the cable, it claims, admitted the right of Japan to control the end, which was landed in Japan, with American con trolling the end in Guam.
 The Japanese view also is under stood to be that since direct cable com munication between the United States by way of Guam and Manila already exists, the line from Guam to Asia via Tap is only an indirect overflow con nection unnecessary in ordinary tim es and that. therefore, settlement of the question of control is not urgent
 Meanwhile, it is suggested that since the League of Nations council has re- ferred the American protest addressed to it by the allied nations a reply may come from that quarter which may contain the germ of a basis of ad- justment.
 One incidental result of the suspen- sion may be the postponement of a settlement by direct negotiation of the issue between Japan and the Neither lands arising from the claim of the Dutch to control one of the former German cables extending to the Dutch East Indies.
