successes, he said, were marked by as
sasinations and executions, which
aroused the country to arms, and quick
suppression of the movement followed.
American and British armed forces

said.
He said the uprising was caused by
demand of the people for social re-

RAIL UNIONS VOTE
PAY CUT AM|TY
Want Additional Guarantee
From Railroads for Future
Years, However.

CHICAGO, january 28,-Agreement
by railway labor upon a 10 per cent
voluntary wage reduction was augured
today in a resolution adopted by the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
last holdout of the 20 union groups to
vote
The trainmen agreed to rejoin the
brother organizations in seeking "the
best settlement possible" but specified
that the railroads must promise not to
attempt another wage reduction for
full year after the termination of the
contemplated years reduction.
The resolution will be presented to
the Labor Executives Committee at 3
pm When the union leaders have
reached an accord, they will summon
the railway presidents to another joint
conference
A. F. Whitney head Of the organiza-
ton, had presided over a separate
meeting throughout the morning while
presidents of the other groups awaited
the trainmen'S vote before calling an
other joint conference with the rail-
road presidents.
Withdrawal of the International
LongShoremen' Association from the
conference was announced at l o'clock
by Chairman David B. Robertson of
the Labor Executives Committee The
Longshoremen, a small group of lighter
pilots of New York harhor, decided to
negotiate directly with the railroads.
May Seek New Compromise.
Most of the brotherhoods had al
ready voted on the wage proposition,
although the trend of their decisions
remained secret Sentiment seemed
top revail about the conference hotel
lobbies, however, that labor eventually
would come back to the railroad presi-
dents with another plea for further
concessions to the labor program before
agreeing to the wage reduction.
That the stumbling block of diSsatis-
faction at concessions made by the rails
to job stabilization program loomed
as big as ever was indicated by Robert
son, whose first announcement earlier
yesterday said about three-fourths had
agreed
Robertson also indicated that labor
might try for new compromise agree
ment with a committee of rail eXecu-
tives who are here awaiting the workers
decision.
Closed shop Discussed.
Three labor leaders made a surprise
visit to the hotel headquarters of the
presidents, asking that closed shop"
agreements on certain roads be strength
ened and extended. They were Alvaney
Johnston of the locomotive engineers,
S. NJ Berry of the conductors and A. F.
Whitney of the trainmen.
Robertson denied any knowledge of
such visit to the presidents quarters
and asserted that if the three men had
gone on such an ertand it was in an
entirely unofficial capacity.
President Daniel Willard of the Balti-
more & Ohio, leader of the committee
Of nine rail heads, said the labor lead
ers called on him in reference to a
minor matter that had nothing to do
with the present negotiations.

The Senate Finance Committee today
voted an unfavorable report on a re-
vised House Democratic tariff bill.
There was no roll call on the motion
to send the bill to the Senate with an
adverse report, but an earlier move 10
report it favorably resulted in a tie,
10 to 10, with Senator La Toilette of
Wisconsin joining the nine Democratic
members in voting for it.
Before the bill can come up on the
floor, Chairman Smoot must make his
report and the bill be sent to the
calendar to await its turn.
The measure contains several amend
sments proposed by Senator Harrison of
Mississippi, ranking Democrat on the
Finance Committee
AS it now stands, the bill would re-
store to Congress the power held by the
President to increase or decrease rates
after Tariff Commission inquiry.

partisan commission of seven members
and would direct the President to call
an international conference designed to

Japan has instructed its diplo-

CHINESE DEMANDS
PUSHED AT GENEVA
Will Proclaim State of War
Exists Unless League
Takes Action.
BY WILLIAM BIRD.

BY Gable to The Star.
GENEVA, January 28-The League
of Nations Council today was wrestling
with a virtual ultimatum from DR.. w
w Yen, the Chinese delegate, who de-
clareS that China's patience is at ar
end and that this is the last chance
the League will have to assert its moral
authority in the Far East crisis.
DR.. Yen stated that unless China
demands are met In at least two par
ticulars, China will proclaim that a
state of war exists and thus compel the
League to apply Article XIV of the cov-
enant providing economic and financial
sanctions against an aggresSor.
Two Demands Made.
Chinas two demands are: First, that
Japan begin withdrawing her troops
from China, either commencing evacua-
ton at Chinchow or withdrawing her
warships from Shanghai harbor; sec
ond, that the league take an unequivo-
cal stand on the juridical aspect of the
affair to the extent at least of indorSe-
ment of Secretary Stimson's recent note
League Council members are worried
by this uncompromising attitude. U2-
til today it was thought that Dr. Yen
would back down and be satisfied with
simple declaration by the president
of the council emphasizing respect for
treaties and calling attention to the
necessity of awaiting the report of the
Leagues Committee of Inquiry in Man
churia. Today only few Council mem
bers believe Dr. Yen will eventually be
satisfied with much less than he has
asked for.
League Pressed for Time.
Two material facts weigh heavily in
DR.. Yen's favor. In the first place he
is at present practically the Chinese
government and he does not have to
depend upon cabled instructions. He is
in the position of Ambassadors a hun
dred years ago who were raised to the
peerage if they succeeded, and beheaded
if they failed. The other fact Is that
the League is pressed for time; it is
anxious to wind up its own session and
clear the deck for the Disarmament Con-
ference, while DR.. Yen is in no hurry
and would indeed welcome a chance to
drag the discussion into next week
when high officials Of all nations will
be in Geneva.
League leaders today were pleading
with DR.. Yen to compromise, pointing
out that an uncompromiSing stand may
wreck the League. Dr. Yens reply was
that the League deserves to be wrecked
If it cannot check Japan's aggression
