LINES UP WITH
US. ON QUESTION OF
YAP ISL. MANDATE

Washington, April 29-Complete
agreement with the position of the
United States in regard to the Island
of zap as expressed by Secretary
Hughes in his notes to the four
principal allied powers is expressed
in a note delivered today to the state
department by the Italian ambassa-
dor.
The full text of the italian note
follows:
Italy is fully convinced that the
United States are not asking for any
privileges in the Island of zap
which is not equally granted to
every other nation, including Japan
Italy is also convinced that the Uni
interest in the Island of zap with
full consideration for the interest of
other nations.
Italy therefore has not hesitated
to express herself in a way which
completely agrees with the text of
the American note Of the 9Th of
April instant, concerning the equal
ity of right among manufactures in
the exercise of their mandates.
Italy wishes and trusts that the
just rights of everybody concerned
be recognized always and every
where, in the Island Of zap as we'll
as in every other place and circum-
stance. with perfect equality and
justice.
Italy seconded the Anglo-French
proposal which confided the study of
the zap question to the juridical
committee and that conference of
ambassadors in Paris and she now
expects that the conference will now
pronounce itself with equanimity in
such a way as to eliminate every
possibility of disagreement and to
conciliate all conflicting interests.
ITALY is particularly glad when
ever the moral policies of the two
governments and the material inter-
ests of the two nations agree in such
a way as to put Italy and the United
States in a position to cooperate
towards the attainment of the COM
mon end, which consists in the
realization of an era of serene peace
and prosperity for the civilized
world"

Prominent CIubman of Fash
iOnable Section Held in $500
BOnds-Accused Says Great
Rivalry Among Some Res
idents to Make Best Brew

Boston, April 29-Moonshine in the
making, with q still operating full
blast. was found in the fashionable
Back Bay section today. Prohibition
enforcement officers, after Selling the
still, arrested Louis Agassiz Shaw, a
clubman, socially prominent. and an
assistant in applied physiology at the
Harvard Medical school. Arraigned
before Il federal commissioner on
charge of Illegally manufacturing in
toxicatng liquors. Shaw pleaded not
guilty, was ordered To appear for 4
hearing on May 6, and was released
or $500 bond.
The proceedings were brief and in
cluded no testimony. The federal
agents who made the arrest and
seizure, in statement regarding
:heir raid at the Shaw residence at
6 Marlboro street, gave details Of the
contraband operations which they
alleged against him in court. These
officers. Richard e. Kelly and Peter
Sullivan, quoted Shaw as saying that
there were others in that section who
were producing their own stock of
liquor from stills operated in their
homes, and that there was rivalry
among them to see which could turn
out the most successful brew.
The productions were sampled at
social affairs, according to the agents
They said that after they had found
the still in a room close to Shaw's
ballroom, he told them that he had
had friends in from time to time to
test out his stuff and that he had in
turn tried out the products of others
III gatherings at their homes
"All the boys have stills" he was
quoted as saying.
The city directory records the pres
ence of a private research labora-
tory" at the Shaw home. When the
agents called at the house, they said
q butler confirmed the fact that a
laboratory was maintained there,
and summoned Mr.. Shaw. The lat
ter was asked whether he had a
registered still, and replied that he
had one at the Harvard Medical
school. When asked about another
one said to be in his home, accord
ing to agents, Mr.. Shaw admitted it's
presence, and showed the agents to
the room.
The still they reported finding was
described as one of the finest that
has yet come to light here, capable
of producing 10 gallons of high proof
whiskey in "a hours. 1t was in op-
GRAFTON at the time, they reported.
Nearby was a stock of five gallons
of its alleged product and quantity
of mash.
Because Mr.. Shaw expressed the
wish that the seizure be not made
public, unduly. the agents said, an
automobile was summoned to the
rear entrance of the house and the
still was removed that way.
Lawrence A. Ford, counsel for Mr..
Shaw, when his attention was called
to the statements by the prohibition
enforcement officials of their discov-
cry and their conversation with Mr..
Shaw, said no comment would be
made by the defendant at this time.

Washington, April 29--Hope for a
settlement by national agreement OF
disputes between printing trades un-
ions and employers over wages and
hours was abandoned today by Sec
rotary Davis after a series of separ-
ate conferences with both sides.
Union representatives left the city
without having been requested to re-
turn. Lack of an organization Of
printing employers authorized to sign
any national agreement was given
by Secretary Davis as his reason for
abandoning his attempt to, replace
the local agreements between the
men and employers, which expire
May /.
Settlement of disputes is now in
the hands of the various employers
and the local unions, the secretary
said. Some of them have been set
tied by agreement on the part of the
employers to recognize a 44-hour
week which is the main point at is
sue in most cases.
1t was explained at the office of the
American Federation of Labor today
that other local agreements may be
reached, by the men agreeing to ac-
cept proportionate wage reductions
upon the change from the 48-hour to
the 44-hour week. This principle,
officials said, had previously been
followed in efforts to bring about a
reduction from the 10-hour to the
8hour day.
Representatives of printing con-
Germs in the east, middle west and
south were here today at the request
Of the secretary, but informed him
that they were not authorized to
speak for any concerns but their
own. Disputes between them and
their employees were different, in
each case. the secretary said.

REMEDY SUGGESTED
AS CONSTRUCTIVE Recommended

AS constructive recommendations
the committee said:
1. The federal government should
be asked to give assistance to the rail-
roads in their extremities, not as an
act of paternalism but as an act of
justice. The obligation of the govern
ment to return the railroads in the
same condition in which they took
them over has not been fulfilled. The
period of federal guarantee should be
extended retroactive from September
1, 1920 and arrangements should be
made at once for the payment Of the
amounts claimed by the railroads to be
due them from the government, leav-
ing exact determination to BE- made
afterwards. We recommend that q
memorial be addressed to the president
of the United States pointing out TO
him the present conditions of the rail
roads in New England, and asking him
~ take prompt measures to fulfill the
obligations of the government.
2. We are convinced that the pre-
vailing wage scale and the terms Of
the so-called national agreements have
been a large factor leading to the
present financial condition Of the rail-
roads. We believe that Congress
should consider whether the present
method of settling labor disputes is
entirely adequate, and if not, iii what
respect it may be remedied or altered
3. We have not undertaken to make
an analysis of the efficiency of the
management of New England railroads.
In the interests of the railroads them
selves, we believe that the Interstate
Commerce CommiSSiin might well avail
itself of its authority and make with
out delay such investigation as may
be desirable toward a permanent solu-
ton of the railroad difficulties
To carry out the foregoing recon-
mendations. we suggest that this
committee be authorized TO present
these considerations to the president
OF the United States, the Railroad La
bor Board, and the Interstate Com
merce Compassion, and to take such
further action as may be necessary.
