tenant w. H. Langdon, an American
naval officer at Vladivostok early in
January is reiterated in the reply of

The hope is expressed by the Japan
ese government that the government

Japanese government has acted in
dealing with this most unfortunate in
cident.''
The state department made public
paraphrase of the Japanese govern
ment's reply. based on Il capicgram
from the American embassy at Toxic
to whom the communication was de-
lvered yesterday. 1t follows:
"A most thorough and exhaustive
examination was conducted by the
court martial resulting in the removal
from the active list of the Japanese
army of Major General Nishihara,
commanding the Japanese garrison at
Vladivostok The court martial held
that General Nishihara had been guilty
of a miSinterpretation of the barracks
regulations and had incurred primary
responsibility for the unfortunate in
cident. He has been deprived of the
command of the garrison and of the
rank of brigade commander which he
previously held. The barracks officer
of the rank of major has been ad-
judged guilty of responsibility in the
matter and sentenced to confinement
for 80 days. The assistant barracks
officer and a lieutenant have been SEN
fenced to a similar punishment for 20
days. the company commander has
been sentenced to a less period.
THE commander in chief of the
Japanese forces in NladivoStok has
paid a visit to the United States steam
ship Albany, and expressed TO the
commanding officer his regret for the
incident. The sentry who fired the
| shot has been held to be excused by
the orders and actions or his superiors
upon whom responsibility has been
! squarely placed and who are to be
punished as above stated. The sentry,
however, was found guilty of deception
/ in his testimony as to the circum-
stances of the fatality and for this
7 has been sentenced to confinement foI
/ 80 days.
In addition to the expressions OF
| regret on the part of the commander
| in chief of the Japanese expeditionary
forces, the minister OF foreign affairs
| in communicating the action or thC
court martial conveys to the Ameri-
! can government the expression o.
deep regret on the part of the Japan
] ese government at the occurrence o
i this sad event and expresses the hope
1 that the government of the United
States will fully appreciate the sin
cere spirit in which the Japanese gov
ernment has acted in dealing with this
most unfortunate incident

ORGANIZED LABOR.
WILL DRAFT BILL.
GIVING RIGHT To
ORGANIZE IN ALL
INDUSTRIAL WORK
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-Approval
was given today by international lab
or union heads and their attorneys to
a tentative draft of a bill to legalize
the right of labor unions to organize
all fields of industry despite individ-
ual contracts between employers and
employees prohibiting union member
ship.
The bill, designed to offset the effect
of the United States supreme court
decision in the Hitchman Coal and
Coke company case upholding the val
idity of these contracts, viii be sub
mitted at once to the executive council
of the American Federation of Labor
for approval.
The union heads also instructed their
counsel to ascertain if it were possible
to ask for a rehearing of the case of
the Duplex Printing Press company
against the International Association
of Machinists in which the United
States supreme court declared second
ary boycott by labor unions Illegal.
The attorneys were directed TO proceed
with their application unless the time
limit had expired. The Hitchman deci-
sion, which also made labor unions
liable to monetary damages, if any en-
ploye Joined a union organization in
violation of his contract, was handed
down by the supreme court in 1918.
International unions which have
joined in the fight to have the indiyid-
ual contracts declared illegal and
make uhionization of such workers
possible are the United Mine Work
ers of America, the Moulders union,
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, International
Association of Machinists and the
Street Railway Workers. Their heads
were called in conference here by Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and today S
action is believed to be one of the
opening wedges in the proposed pro-
gram of the federation to counter anti
union legislation and the open shop"
John L. Lewis, international presi-
dent of the mine workers, told the con-
ference that the Hitchman decision had
been a great menace TO organized
labor
The executive council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor also was IN
conference all day preparing a 'bill of
rights" and program to be submitted
/ to the special meeting of representa- :
tives of national and international
unions called to open tomorrow.

COLBY NOTE To
LEAGUE DEMANDS
EQUAL RIGHTS TO
CITIZENS Of ALL
ALLIED NATIONS
TRepubIican A. p. Leased WireI

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-Equal op-
portunities for the citizens of all allied
and associated powers, whether mem@
bers of the league of nations or not, in
former enemy territories to be admin
istered by the allied governments un-
der mandates, is insisted upon in a note
dispatched by the state department to
the league council at Paris. The note
went last night to Ambassador Wal
lace, who is to present it tomorrow.
State department officials described
it as being virtually identical with the
one sent Great Britain last November
by Secretary Colby.
That note was couched in firm Ian
guage. Mr.. Colby took issue with the
British position that mandate agree
ments and treaties were TO be consid
cred only by members of the league and
declared that the United States as a
contributor to the victory in the war,
could not consider ANY of the asso-
ciated powers debarred from
participation in the rights and privi-
Ileges secured under the mandates.
Initiation of this, the first action to
be taken by the United States to the
league council, was "a the suggestion of
an allied power, understood to have
| been Great Britain. The British for
! eign office has never replied TO Mr..
| Colby's note in which he asked that the
United States be permitted to examine
| the OrdIL mandates before submitting
| to the council. Meantime, however,
Great Britain has sent the draft man
dates for Mesopotamia and Palestine
to the council and it is understood it
was for this season it was suggested
| the United States present its vieMs to
| the council
/ Action by the council on the man
dates at this session had been ex
pected and it was explained that it
was on this account that the admins
| tration decided to present its argu-
ments direct to the council although it
leaves office a little more two weeks.
/ Paris dispatches today said that in
dependent of the action of the Ameri-
can government, consideration OF the
mandates governing Mesopotam1a
Palestine and Syria had been postponed
until the councils April meeting sc
that Winston Churchill, new British
secretary for the colonies could study
questions involved.
1t was said tonight that this would
give the Harding administration timt
to study the question AID decide OF
| a policy.
The principal point at issue betwee1
the United States and Great Britain i:
the so-called San Reno agreement be
= tween Great Britain and France for tn
development of oil resources in the man
date territories in the Near East. Unde
Secretary Davis has said leading Re
| publican senator's have approved th'
position taken by his department.

forces rallied followers and put through
a motion directing conferees on the
deficiency bill to give the government
81 100000 to break up the liquor traf
fic from now until July l. It was the
top figure discussed.
Before the vote, however, charges
flew thick, Chairman Good Of the ap
preparations committee declaring en-
forcement' agents openly are winking
at the law violation. Representative
Volstead came back with the charge
that attempts were being made to
break down the machinery of enforce
ment through failure to provide ado
quate appropriations.
Others jumped into the fray.
Mentioning Wayne Wheeler, general
counsel for the Anti Saloon league, Mr.
| Good declared even this champion of
| prohibition believed there were too
many men on the rolls of the internal
revenue bureau who were winking AT
Violations
| "I have talked with Wayne Wheeler
who sends his commission to the house

of the treasury whether they want il
or not" Mr.. Good declared. "Mr

he has told me, that there are more
vets than drys in the bureau, and ye'
he comes and demands that you vote
more money for him."

tinued, that members Of the appro
