strike of all industries as lAbor's

sented today to a council of 400

change had failed to reach any un-
derstanding that would bridge the
differences that have tied up build
in San Francico since May 1.
j. B. Dewar, chairman Of the
committee, reported that the cham
ber OF commerce and not the build
ers' exchange was dominating the
building situation and the cham
ber had made arrangements for an
industrial tribunal which would
fix wages, hours and working con-
ditions. The committee WHs In
structed to meet with the indus
trial relations committee OF the
chamber to see If an understanding
could be effected.
In the event of the adoption Of
the general strike resolution a

State Department Feels
That Dispute Over Sow

Up to Japan and China,
(By The Associated Press)

Washington, July 81 (by the AS
sociated Press, Renewed confi-
dence that Japan will consent to a
broad discussion of far eastern
problems as part of the disarma-
ment conference was evident in Of
ficial circles here tonight after an
other informal exchange of views
between the japanese and Ameris
can governments.
During the day the Japanese
ambassador, Baron Shidehara,
called on Secretary Hughes ana
they are understood to have dis
cussed at length the situation re-
sulting from Japan's reluctance to
have the far eastern questions
subjected to debate in the disar@ ,
mament negotiations. 1t was indf~
Gated afterward that the mutuHs
exchange was regarded as helpful
by both sides and that the conver~
sations soon might reach a stage
making possible a more formal
diplomatic correspondence. There
was every evidence that the Amer
ican government remains unsha ken
in its belief that to eliminate def.
IIItlN ally bubJtCL II Olll lllc SIOpt
Of the conference beforehand
might prove a serious barrier to
the disarmament discussion itself.
Those in charge of preliminary
negotiations here have heard with
much interest the suggestion that
some of the troubles of the confer
ence might be nbviated If such
questions as the disposition Of the
Pacific island Of Yap and the con-
troll of Shantung were settled be-
for the delegates assembled. That
such a development would be high
ly pleasing to American officials
and some steps might be taken to
speed these questions toward solu.
ton, was indicated tonight.
1t is considered likely that 70
this end negotiations regarding
Yap may be actively resumed in
tho near future.
There already has been soms
diplomatic correspondence on the
| subject.
In the case of Shantung the ins
dicated view of the state departs
ment has been that any dispute
over sovereignty should be subject
of negotiations between China and
Japan. Reports have reached here
that Toxic is ready to undertake
such a negotiation and it would oc-
casion no surprise in we'll informed
circles IL China We're encouraged
! to take a similar attitude.
It was indicated today that de-
spite suggestion Of British domin-
ion statesmen for a postponement
of the conference until next spring,
officials here believed the plan to
begin sessions by early November
would in the end find general ac-
ceptance.

right OF the city to issue bonds in
lieu of paving certificates was also
challenged.
In the district court in hearings
before Judge Hickey of Albuquer-

it was determined by the court
that the property owners had not
set forth facts in their complaint
sufficient to constitute cause of ac-
tion. The complainants, refusing

to the supreme court. Arguments

down in less than three weeks af-
ter the oral arguments, indicates
the dispatch with which the case
was handled by the supreme court,
all the attorneys in the litigation
consenting that the suit might be
advanced on the docket.
Notwithstanding the law suit, the
construction company went ahead
with the improvement of TiJeras
avenue and the contract was COM
pleted. according to specifications.
within sixty days after the work
was started. The entire city COM
mission of five members voted for
the Improvement of Tijeras avenue
for two reasons, it is stated, one
being that only 13 per cent of the
property owners appeared and pro-
| tested against the paving, and the
other being that the street afford
ed the only outlet, in addition to
Central avenue, for a heavy vol
ume of east and west traffic from
the highlands to the lowlands and
