Railroad were unfair and un- necessary and their effect has been to decrease the transport ation systems business and to retard the development of the country
 "The federal government" he contended, should rectify it's mistake in the administration policy of the railroad. The law CT rates should be restored and service adequate in every par ticular should be maintained.
 It has been suggested that the railroad serves territory owned by the government. Therefore, the government should give free transportation rates to those who are pioneering in the deve'- Cpment of resources in areas owned in entirety by the federal government.

INDIANS TO TEST TREATY.
 OF 1885

In 1885, the Indians who roamed the Western Washing ton wilderness, pledged them selves to cease coveting the scalps of their white brothers.
 The Redskins buried the hat chet, smoked the pipe of peace with the paleface, and gather cd at Muekilteo, on Puget Sound fer a great powwow with Big Chief Pale Face" Isaac Stevens, governor of the territory.
 At that meeting was born the treaty granting the Indians the right to hunt and fish through out Washington in common with the white men. On the basis Of the treaty, the Indians through the years have taken their game when and where they would, and frequently have run afoul Ci the white mans strange game law, which cast the Red

 Have had various protests from Alaska chamber bodies and have advised them that the president and Secretary of Agri- culture, have had many com plaints from various sections of the country but have decided that no alterations would be made. This morning I again went to the department to pre- sent your contention but after a conference decided that nc change could be made without bringing a renewal Of protests from other sections.

j. S. FREE TO ACT
IF LEAGUE FAILS
Policy Statement Might Lead
to Enmity of Japan and
Loss of Influence.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.


BY Gable to The Star.
There is every reason to believe the
solution OF the Manchurian crisis,
which the United States, without for
the present taking the initiative, hopes
eventually to see realized, can be
summed up by the following four
points:
/. Cessation of sino-Japanese hos
tilities.
2. Withdrawal of Japanese troops
within the South Manchurian Railway
zone.
8. An International Study Commits
sion to report, not only on Manchuria,
but also on certain aspects Of China s
relations with other countries,
4. A new China conference on the
basis Of the existing treaties and the
commissions findings to readjust in
any way necessary the whole juridical
basis OF China's international relations.
Drafting Resolution Text.
Today the Council Of the League of
Nations Is trying to draft the text of
resolution covering the third point,
namely, Study Commission. IN
fortunately, no means has yet been
discovered by the League for effecting
the cessation of hostilities and the
withdrawal Of Japanese troops.
II the worst comes to the worst, II
seems to be the Leagues hope, perhaps
also shared by the United States, that
the study commission will in some way
be able to bring about these two ends
before 1t gets through AS for the call
ing OF q new China conference, that
can wait until later.
In any case, the hands Of the United
States are not tied. If the League
methods fail, 1t is still possible fol
Washington to intensity direct diplo-
matte action under the nine-powel
treaty and the Kellogg pact.
China knows this, and is therefore
far from having lost courage. Japan
also knows this, and is therefore now
showing itself slightly more concilia-
tory. The question Is being widely
asked In Europe why the United States
makes no strong public statement Of
policy. The answer seems to be as fol-
lows:
U. S. Cooperating Actively.
China appealed to the League Of Ma
tions, not to Washington. The League
is acting. We are giving the League
not only our moral support, but also
our active cooperation both through
Gen. Charles G.. Dawes, Ambassador to
London, who is now in Paris, and by
our secret direct negotiations in Wash
ington and Toxic with the japanese
government.
When the truth is known it will per-
haps be found that Japan'S compro-
mise proposal fol a study commission
was originally suggested by the United

RAIL WAGE FARLEY
ENDS IN DEADLOCK
Unions and Presidents Rep
resentatives Fail to Agree
on Cut Need.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November as The
railroads and the railroad workers, after
four days discussion of a proposed 10
per cent wage cut, were right back
today where they started.
The unicn railroaders, through their
spokesman, D. B. Robertson, chairman
of the Railway Labor Executives Asso-
citation, informed the railroad presi-
dents yesterday that they did not con-
slider the pay cut necessary.
Daniel Willard, president Of the Bal
timore & Ohio, and chairman and the
special Committee of Railroad Presi-
dents, insisted at the end Of the dis
cussions that nothing had been pro-
duced to change their opinion that a
pay reduction was imperative"
willard Denies Statement.
Robertson, in a letter to Willard,
said that the suggestion of a wage re-
duction means simply that the labor
share out of every dollar Of revenue
shall be decreased in order that the
capital share may be increased"
The letter of President Willard de-
MED this, saying:
"a capital investment OF approx
mately $4,000 is necessary for each
man employed in the railroad indus
try. Railroad men, with their well
known habits Of industry and thrift,
would, we are sure, be the last to
advocate any policy that would result
in those who invested their capital in
the industry being deprived of a fair
return thereon"
will Report to Groups.
There was nothing in the letters of
Robertson and Willard to indicate what
immediate action may be contemplated.
Both sides are to report back to the
groups they represent. Twelve hun
dred representatives of the employees
are to meet in Chicago December 8.
The railroads may-if they so elect
take steps to put the pay reductions
into effect at once, acting either in
dividually or as group. When Will
lard was asked today if the railroads
contemplated such action, he declined
to say any more than was contained
in his letter to Robertson.

Customs officials estimated the value
of the LIQUOR at S350,000 and the YES
sci a 533-ton tanker, at $750,000,
figures which, If authentic, would make

mrs. MARY NORTON
WILL SEEK PROBE
OF WELFARE BOARD
Prospective Head of House
D. C. Committee to Ask
Inquiry in Riley Case.

An investigation into the Board Of
Public Welfare'S handling Of the case Of
12-year-old Edith Riley, allegedly i'm
prisoned four years in closet, win be
sought by Mrs. Mary T. Norton, Demo-
cratic Representative from New Jersey,
who may head the District Committee
in the next House.
Mrs. Norton, In announcing she
would seek the inquiry, declared she be-
lieved condemnation and criticism Of
the board should be withheld pending
the investigation.
The New Jersey CongreSswoman be-
came the second member Of the House
to call for an inquiry into the Welfare
Board. Representative Frank L. Bow
man Of West Virginia early last week
announced he would request the House
District Committee to look into charges
that the board was lax in caring for
the Riley child.
The girls parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Newman Riley, who were indicted by the
grand jury on charges Of cruelty to
Edith, have pleaded not guilty and have
been released on $4,000 bond each pend
ing trial.
Edith, meanwhile, is under treatment
at Gallinger Hospital A report on her
condition has been in process Of COM
pilation for more than a week by psy-
chiatrists and psychologists of the hos
pital staff, supplemented by opinions
from outstanding specialists from the
outside.
In a sermon yesterday from the pull
pit Of the First Congregational Church,
the Rev. DR.. Allen A. Stockdale, pastor
declared "sensibilities of the city have
been shocked" by the tragic case.
The massed public opinion of Wash
ington must demand that cases similar
to that of little Edith Riley shall not
be repeated" he asserted.
1T Is not time for red tape in es-
tablishing the technicalities of jurisdic-
ton as between the Juvenile Court and
the Board of Public Welfare. If there
IS any hitch in the matter of jurisdic-
ton, such hitch must be at once elm
mated

| BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, November %. The
Japanese government today for
warded a note to Ambassador
Debuchi, at Washington, asking
him to reaSsure the United States
Government that the occupation
of Tsitsihar and the crossing OF
the Chinese Eastern Railway in
Manchuria did not involve any
infringement Of the nine-power
treaty and the Kellogg-Briand
pact of the League covenant.
The note was sent following re-
ports here that stir was caused
in Washington by the military &C
tivities at Tsitsihar.
Ambassador Debuchi cabled his
government, emphasizing that the
United States attitude apparently
had changed since the TSitSihar
occupation and that public opin-
ion in the United States seemed
to indicate that Japan's attention
should be called to her obligations
under the nine-power treaty and
other pacts.
New Armed Clash Feared.
In this connection 1t was reiterated
in authoritative circles here that the
TsitSihar operations were made neces-
sary by Gen. Nah Chan Shan's attack
and that the troops would be with
drawn at the earliest possible date. It
was added, however, that there are in
dications at present that Gen. Nah is
demonstrating his scattered forces for
another attack.
Meanwhile concentration Of Chinese
troops at Chin Chow reached state so
alarming to Tokyo that the government
considered formulaitnE a suggestion
that the League Of Nations try to per-
suade the Chinese to withdraw inside
the great wall near Shanhaikwan and
northward to a point south Of the
Lwanho River.
Japanese military authorities said
Chang Hsueh-Liang, deposed Man.
churian governor, was recruiting ban
dts in the Chin Chow region, and II
was urged that some steps be taken to
tor. 1t was suggested that the League
might establish a neutral zone north
OF the great wall to keep the opposing
forces apart.
In the Northern sphere of action II
was believed that Chang Hui, the new
governor Of Heilungk1ang province
might be able to persuade Gen. Nah
Chan-Shan not to attack the Japanese
II he succeeded, 1t was thought, the
Japanese would be able to withdraw
from TsitSihar soon, particularly since
they have been subjected to considerable
hardship in the sub-Arctic climate.
