JAPAN, RUSSIA
GET FURTHER APART

TOXIC. Sept. 9.-(United Press)
Japan and the Russian soviet gov
eminent today seemed to be getting
further apart at the Chang Chun
conference designed TO pave the way
for settlement of Aslatic questions
and perhaps the recognition Of the
Moscow government
on the heels OF. the disagreement
OF two days ago on the question Of
japan recognizing the soviet dele
gates as representing both the Mos
COW government and the Chita gov
eminent OF the Far Eastern republic
came word that the Russians had de-
manded that the agenda for the con-
ference include questions outside OF
matter centering in the Orient.
Japanese representatives, accord
ing to announcements here informed
the Russians that Japan would dis
cuss only far Eastern questions at
the conference. No agreement on
the point has been reached, the So
Wet representatives insisting on a
broader scope for the conference
agenda.

TOWED BY BOAT
PORT WASHINGTON.

PORT WASHINGTON. L. l.,
Sept. Glenn II. Curtiss in his
sailplane glider made = sustained
flight OF seventeen seconds in the
water OF Hampstead harbor yester-
day afternoon.
After being towed by a boat at a
speed of about 25 miles an hour
the glider left the water and rose
TO a height OF about 20 feet. and
after being towed in air for over
a minute the rope was out and the
glider maintained its flight for sev-
enteen seconds and descended grad
ually TO the water. where II 1T

On previous fights a towrope OF

although that will be a step taken
soon. We know that we can glide
or soar from a height. we are more
interested now N studying air cur
rents over the water from a fiat
surface. Therefore we are going
to step along gradually.
''It IS my purpose to slow down
the speed OF the pulling boat until
we determine the exact pulling point
required TO tow the glider.
I'VE will determine this by weigh
ing the tow line on a scale. After
we have made this determination we
will most likely put a small motor
into the glider to make Il practical.
we can run the glider with
a six horsef power motor. BY this
means I believe we will be able TO
learn a number Of necessary things
for aviation. We are studying the
birds and we are trying in every way
to apply 10 our gliders and our air

RAIL Meetings
Daugherty Says Injunction
Will Not Interfere With
Negotiations
ONLY SEEKING
INDUSTRIAL PEACE

WASHINGTON Sept. s.-Attor-
ney-General Daugherty last night
said the Government was not a
party TO apy negotiations between
the railroads and their employees,
but declared that such negotiations
would not be interfered with by the
temporary restraining order Issued
at Chicago.
THE Government is not a party
to any negotiations between the
railroads and the employees. II any
are in progress" Mr.. Dnugherty
said. "The suggestion that such
negotiations would be interfered
with by the temporary restraining
order granted by Judge WilkersoD
fis in my judgment wholly unjusti-
fed. The only concern OF the Gov
ernment Is Industrial peace and the
restoration OF transportation. Any
conference between the railroad ex-
ecutives and their former employees
to adjust their grievances Is in the
interests OF Industrial peace and
would not find any obstacle on the
part OF lnt 0ONtlnlltHks
THE Government would not con-
tend that either party TO the con-
troversy was denied by the temper
airy restraining order any right or
opportunity TO confer between them
selves as to the possible terms OF
such settlement.
THE Government Is not a parti-
san in this labor controversy. II
champions neither che employer nor
the employe. Their differences are
for them TO adjust The Govern
ment, Is. however. vitality concerned
in the restoration of industrial peace
and any movement that seeks to sd-
just the unhappy differences between
employer and employe will not only
find no obstruction from the Gov
ernment, but will have its SYM
pathy."
Officially. the Administration is
doing nothing to further the negotla-
tions between railroad executives and
labor chiefs with a view to Settle
ment Of the shopmen' strike, but
President Harding was said TO be
fully informed as TO what Is taking
place and Is anxious 20 see negotia-
tions terminate in desirable results.
Harding withholds
Efforts to obtain an official state
ment at the White House as to the
Presidents views on the situation
resulted in an authorized statement
that they could not with propriety
be disclosed at this time. IT was
pointed out that the situation rests
in the hands OF a number Of per-
sons. Government officials, as well
as railroad executives and labor lead
ers, and 1t was indicated that any
discussion by Administration officials
might embarrass those who are seek
ing a settlement.
While the rail situation was un-
derstood not to have been included |
in the subjects taken up for ex-
tended discussion at yesterdays |
Cabinet meeting, which was one of
the brlefest sessions In months. it
was reported that some reference
was made to the status of the Gov
ernment's injunction in view OF off,
cial statements that a modification |
OF the temporary order would not
be opposed when the case was call
ed in Chicago Monday.
