OLD ROW OVER CHINA R. R. IS
 REOPENED
and Red Russia,
 French, Chinese and Japanese All Involved.
BY THOMAS MELOY, International News Service Staff
 COrreSDOndent

Picking. Nov. 21-The first round of the international railway struggle board of directors of the Chinese Eastern Railway. The claimants ito ownership are White Russia back ed by France. the Soviet and the in. dependent Chang Tso-1in, backed by Japan. The principal referee is an American, John F. Stevens, who, as Chief of the Interallied Technical Board, has fought desperately to se- cure fair play and the honest utfli- zation of the railroad revenue. The stake is the controlling link between the Far East and Europe and, incl dentally the main artery to Russia borne off by the White" Russian grOup, who. by virtue of a managing director appointed by them and Chinese President whom they man. aged to place on the pedestal without power. now control the railway ad- ministrat1on and funds. They have also strengthened their position by making a through traffic agreement with the Japanese roads whereby Dairen secures preferential rates which, it is believed. will eliminate other northern Chinese and Siberian ports. including Vladivostok.
 Triclxery Charged
 This was bitterly opposed by the Soviet, as well as by China Stevens seIlfng out to Japan for the latter's noliticaI support. He also attacked the policy of the managing director. Oustroumoff as wasteful and delib- erately detrimental to the best in tarests of the road. It is openly all Ieged that Oustroumoff received a fee of 5000 yen from Japan for negotiating the traffic agreement.
 The line has been a source of con tinual intrigue since it's construction andS while strategically located, has been run at a loss, due to the ab- sorbing political interests which are 0ttached. Thla means by which the White" Russians have kept control, although deprived of both financial and Government support, is in itself an amazing history of acrohatical di- 1lon' attic intrigue.
 The original purpose of the road was to promote the Russian econo- 11ic invasion of the East Construc- tion was begun in 1896, when con- cession was wrung from the Chinese Government. The Trans Siberian Rafirtad was extended thereby southeast to Port Arthur and north e1st to Vladiostok. The stock of the company was held by the Russo A~iatic Bank, but the money was ad- vanced by the Russian Government which took in return debenture bonds and reserved a certain interest in the management.

AKRON BUYS
 WHOLE VILLAGE
But Sentimental Natives Are Loath to See Pub lie Square Desecrated.

Akron, O., Nov. 21.-In a few weeks Akron will own the Village of Botzun, known as Niles, Ohio, half a century ago and one of the oldest communi- ties in this part of the country.
 Akron Council has obtained options on all the property in the village, ex- cept a bridge and the public square For sentimental reasons ownership of these institutions has been denied, old settlers declaring they. will not per init the sacrilege of turning their city park into a garbage disposal plant, which is the fate destined for the property when the buildings have been razed.
 Harry M. Hagelbarger, law direc- tor of Akron, is now negotiating in an attempt to alter this viewpoint. The purchases include streets, dwell fngs, churches, stables, blacksmith shop, soft drink parlor and grand opera house, and the price agreed on is $15,000. The garbage plant is to cost s2,ooO,ooO-

 He insists on the men in his con- gregations whistling the well-known hymn tunes and leads them through them again and again until he is sat isfied they are putting their heart in to it.
 The result of several hundred men whistling at once is ear piercing, but the Rev Nicholson claims that he can number his converts in thousands.

MANUFACTURE OF FOOD FAR ExCELS
 STEEL INDUSTRY

Washington, Nov. z1-(A. P.)-The popular conception the iron and steel industry is the largest single one in the country is declared by the Agri- culture Department to be erroneous. The greatest industry is that of food manufacturing. It outstrips iron and steel, the department says, as four outstrips one.
 As emphasizing the need of addi- tfonaI food control laws, the depart ment calls attention to the great growth in recent times of food manu- featuring in factories as against pre- it says. most food was prepared at home or nearby and since the con sumner knew about the conditions of its preparation there was little need for food laws. Today, as so much food is produced and prepared a long way from those who consume it, some sort of Governmental control is re- garded by department officers as necessary.
 The meat packing industry alone. the Department declares, represents a greater value than the steel indus try. The total value of manufactured 914,0oo. Among the food products that make up the total. four mill pro- ducts stand next to packing house products
 Considering the size of the task tho federal inspection of food is low, it was stated. The cost having been less than one-hundredth of 1 per cent of the value of those products. That the job is a large one is shown by census figures noting that in 1919 there were --7,453 establishments engaged in the manufacture of food products, with an annual output values at the huge amount mentioned. These figures in- clude manufactured goods only and do not take into account the greas volume of commerce in raw foods such as milk, fresh fish, wheat. corn. oats. fruits and vegetables. To these large amounts must also be added the food products imported, which in 1921 amounted to s672.975,oo0.

ELECTION IN MAINE
SHOWS DEMOCRATS
HAVE MADE GAINS
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)

'f (Copyr1ghC, 1921
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-"As
goes Maine, so goes the nation"
its an old political slogan, but fer
the first time in many years both
Democratic and Republican chief
tains agree upon its broad signifi-
canoe. The Republicans have car
ried Maine for United States sena-
tor and governor, and believe the
victory signifies national success;
the Democrats have cut down the
Republican majority Of 1920 so ex-
tensively that they say if the same
percentage Of gain is made by the
Democratic party in doubtful states
as was made by the Democrats i'll
a normally Republican state, the con-
troll Of congress next autumn would
seem certain ofVchange.
More interesting as reflection of
what the Republicans really felt
about the Maine election was the
statement of John T. Adams, chair.
man Of the Republican national COM
mittee. issued just before the cleo.
ton than after. Mr.. Adams eau.
tiously pointed out that Maine, al,
though safely Republican, is not
overwhelmingly so,' and added that
the Democrats have put up good
fight all along the line" and that a
number of Republicans who were
scheduled to speak had to cancel
their meetings and remain in Wash.
ington because Of a press of legis.
lative matters"
This guarded language simply
meant that the Republicans knew
they would lose votes, but they did
not know how badly they would fare
as compared to 1920. The Demo.
Gratis, on the other hand, were pri-
vately jubilant, and really expected
to pull through the governorship.
Analysing Results
In Analysing the Mains results, it
must not be forgotten that MAORI
ties are practically double what they
used to be for the total vote has been
swelled by the acknowledgements of
women. The Republicans carried
Maine in 1920 for Harding by 65,-
600 which represented what would
ordinarily have been a landslide with
10000 votes, Although final results
are not available at this moment.
if it should turn out that the Repub
lican majority for United States SEN
ator was in the neighborhood of TO-
900 to 10000 this would mean
equivalent. of about 10000 to 49,
900 in the days when women were
not voting.
There are, of course, varying
viewpoints on what constitutes q
normal Republican majority in
Maine, but the political history of
the state shows that it has rarely
gone Democratic so that the Demo
Gratis were about as far off in their
calculations of victory in Maine this
year as they have been in the past

made effective use of the principles
of arbitration, reads resolution of

society of the United States, the Pan
American department of the Wom-

TARIFF CONFEREES
AGREE ON MEASURE
WITH NEW CHANGES
Dye Embargo Reinserted,
Long Staple Cotton Goes
on Free List-Import Sugar
Duty Cut

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The
Fordney McCumber tariff bill, desig-
mated officially as the tariff act of
1922" today was returned to the
house from conference.
After two years in the making,
the bill in final form was laid before
the lower chamber, which will con
slider it tomorrow. Leaders hope it
can be sent to the senate on Thurs
day, and to the White House for
signature shortly afterwards.
The house reached an agreement
to restrict debate on the tariff con-
ference report to four hours tomor-
row, and it is expected a vote will
be taken before Wednesday night.
The bill is regarded, in general, as
the highest tariff ever imposed by
an American congress. Conferees
however, slashed materially the high
duties in the original senate bill.
Foreign valuation was accepted
by conferees as the basis for de-
terminating rates, except in certain
specified instances.
Presidential Authority
A provision in the elastic tariff
gives the president authority, to
change from foreign to American
valuation, if, foreign valuation does
not justify differentiate between cost
of production in America and abroad
The dye embargo, stricken out by
both the house and senate, was re
instated for one year, with authority
to the president to continue it for
second year.
Conferees also eliminated the "free
trade zones" into which materials
could be bought, manufactured and
shipped out without payment of
duty.
House managers scored another
victory in the cotton rates, long sta
pie cotton being placed on the free
list. 1t was cents a pound in the
senate bill. On cotton manufactures
duties were about halfway between
the senate and house bills.
Duty on importations of Cuban
sugar was slashed to $1.76 a hun
dred pounds, 16 cents higher than
the house rate, but 8 cents below
the original senate bill. The rate on
sugar imported from countries other
than Cuba was cut from $3.50 to
1920 a hundred pounds.
Metal rates, generally, were kept
at senate figures. The basic steel
rate was 8 per cent ad valorem.
Household utensils were reduced
slightly in the conference.
Logs Of fir, spruce, cedar and
western hemlock were taxed 81 per
thousand board feet. but are exempt
from duty if imported from any
country which has not restricted ex-
portation. The general rate on
sawed lumber was Is per cent ad
valorem.
Few changes were made on tobac-
CO, the basic duties being those
adopted in the sentae, $2.10 pound
on unstemmed wrapped tobacco,
$2.75 stemmed, S5 cents pound on
unstemmed filler tobacco, and so
cents on stemmed, and scrap tobacco
35 cents pound.
