RAIL BOARD RULING.
ON PENN ROADSOON
Expected to Sustain Unions
AS Against Other En-
plOye Bodies.

CHICAGO. Aug. 3O.-The United
States Railroad Labor Board will is
sue a fnal ruling in the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad open shop" con-
troversy <next week, il was an
nounced here today.
The board is expected to DENY the
application of the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn, which is seeking to avoid
meeting officials of the Federated
Shop Crafts, to permit its employee
organizations to elect representa-
tives to meet the executives on the
question Of drawing up new wage
rules. The board has already ruled
that this railroad must meet the
union officials, because the majority
of its employees belong TO the fed
Grated system. but President Samuel
Rea has made application to have
this ruling set aside.
As the setting aside of this de-
cision would mean that the ma
tority Of employees have not the
right to select their own rcpresen-
tatives in dealing with carriers, IL
is believed that tho board will not
grant President Rea's application.
Keen apprehension is felt in rail-
road circles here over the outcome
of the strike vote being taken by
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men. Union officials declared that
no statement Of the progress of the
vote will be made until it is COM
pleted. although reports from sew

CONFERENCE WILL
SHOWLABOR'SNEED
EfOR MORE JOBS
New York Is Organizing
To Aid Unemployed
During Winter.

NEW YORK, Aug. s0.-The inn
mediate and beneficial result Of the
coming industrial conference at
Washington between the administra-
ton and representatives OF labor,
leaders in charitable work believe
will be that 1t will focus public at
tention upon the unemploymet situ-
alton. even though II may not &C.
tuaIiy speed up production.
Mai. Edward Uderwood Of the
Salvation Army. as New York dis
trict officer for Industrial welfare.
Is handling the burden Of the city's
employment problem from the
standpoint Of the army.
Need is for Jobs.
1T will attract peoples attention
to the fact that jobs. not charity.
are needed" he says. 1--WE are hope
full. therefore, that when the truth
of PRESENT conditions becomes
known to the public, when the peo-
pie become awakened to a realiza-
ton that they can save thousands
Of men from want this winter. the
entire country will turn to, and even
at some sacrifice. perhaps. help to
prove our present fears groundless.
THE work OF saving the situa-
ton extends not only to the en-
ployer Of labor who could, perhaps
at a sacrifice today, squeeze a few
more workmen into their factories.
II runs down to the every day cit
izen. II he has roof to single,
or a fence to paint, or a wall to
build, and he thinks of doing these
things next year, let him do them
this year-and thousands OF men
will be taken off the hands OF char
liable institutions"
willing to Work Mt Anything.
Major Underwood said that the
class Of people applying for work
again emphasizing that charity was
not wanted-came from a higher
strata of people than is usual, par
ticularly in the summer time. They
are men who have had steady Jobs
until the present wear. and who
never thought of the coming indus
trial danger. They are willing to
do anything to earn honest money.
Neither the Salvation Army nor
the Mayors committee on unem-
ployment. recently organized, will
be caught without funds or machin-
cry for caring for New York's I'M
fortunates this winter. however.
Both organizations are mapping
out their programs for the cold
months. The Salvation Army is
renting or obtaining the use of
great vacant buildings, some church
Easements and empty warehouses,
where the homeless can be housed.
II conditions do not become better
in the meantime.
No Place For Drifters.
One thing the mayors committee
is insistent upon, however. 1t viii
care for New York's unfortunates,
but II will not care for the drifters
who float in from the West to
make New York their winter guar
tiers. In order to prove the right to
aid. the applicant will be required
to nrove first that he is a real New
Yorker.
Conditions undoubtedly will i'm
prove" Major Underwood concluded.
But while we arc waiting for them
to improve. We are getting prepared.
And that Washington get-together
may prove TO be OF tremendously
valuable assistance in staving of
the crisis"

.JAPAN'S FOREIGN
OFFICE ENGAGES
TWO AMERICANS
Hughes and Shidehara
Reach Agreement on
=, zap Problem.

Japan now has an International
led foreign Office for the conduct
Of her international affairs.
Convinced that a great many in
ternatlonal difficulties are purely
the result of misunderstanding and
inability to grasp the other nations
viewpoint. the Japanese foreign Of
ffce has attached American and
British personnel to its STATS.
Dallas l. McGrew. Of the Interna-
tionai Banking Corporation of New
York; has just been appointed as
American secretary of the Japanese
Embassy here.
VIII Help I'm Conference.
McGrew will take up his duties
October / and will act as adviser
and Interpreter to the Japanese ar
mament' conference delegation dur
ing the November meeting Fred
erick Moore, an American and for
mer newspaper correspondent, has
= been appointed as councillor to the
, Japanese foreign office at Toxic.
Moore. however. will remain in
Washington during the conference,
proceeding after its conclusion to
Japan. where he will be permanently
stationed.
McGrew and Moore, both of whom
have had extensive experience in
Ear Eastern affairs. will act as the
official eyes" of the Japanese for
eign office. They will interpret the
American viewpoint when divergen-
cies arise, and will act aSt liaison
officials in negotiations.
BritIsher Joins star.
Similarly, Thomas Baty, a British
Far Eastern authority, has become

ernment-uo advise in the handling of
matters affecting Great Britain.
McGrew is the son OF American
missionaries and was born in India.
He is about 40 years old. He has

and the Philippines in connection
with the International Banking Cor
poration and the Red Cross.
Neither of the appointees will
give up their American citizen
ship lin connection with their new
duties, although their appointments
are Of a permanent nature.
Reach Agreement on Yap.
Disposition of the zap question
has been virtually agreed upon, so
far as Japan and the United States
are concerned. Ambassador Shide-
hara and Secretary of State Hughes,
it is learned, have mutually ac-
cepted a program, which, when for
mally drafted. will provide as fol-
lows:
First-Establish universal extra
territoriality for the Island. Any
and all nations are entitled to extra
territorial rights and can establish
cable stations on the island.
Second-Of the three cables radi-
ating from zap, the one from zap
To- Guam, formerly German owned.
becomes the property of the United
states. The other two. one from
Nap 10 HOkahoma and Shanghai and
the other from zap to the Philip
pines remain with their original
rwuers.
JaDan Keeps Mandate.
ThIrd-Japan's mandate over zap
and other Pacific islands remains
binding although the question of
f"rtifications will be brought up
with other Pacific fortifications
problems at the coming conference.
Fourth-The Shidehara Hughes
agreement. when drafted. is to be
subject to the approval of other
powers interested in the Versailles
Treaty and the Pacific.
