The warships were expected to

Eleven destroyers, IL subma-

RAIL WAGE PACT
DUE TODAY

CHICAGO, Jan. 80 G.N.sJ.
Representatives of Americas g.
100000 organized rail workers met
In joint session today with railroad
emissaries to present their reply to
the request for 10 per cent wage
reduction.
Before nightfall, it was hoped,
the committee of union heads and
the nine road presidents, empow-
cred to act for all the major rail
systems of the country. will enter
into a final pact.
But a conclusive agreement may
be further delayed by the demand
for additional concessions which
labor's delegates were expected to
voice.
Before falling into line with the
other unions, the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen, last of the
"holdoutS," adopted a resolution
calling upon the presidents to
promise that further wage reduc-
tions will not be sought for year
after expiration of the proposed
agreement, which would be in ef-
feet for IL months beginning Feb
ruary /.

were rescued by United States
Marines posted on the interna-

Others, including scores Of
mothers with children in their
arms, made their way painfully
to boats moored at the banks
of the creek, where they clung
perilously until Samaritans fiShed
them out with boat-hooks.
Still others, pushed into the
water in midstream, clutched at
the sides Of Sampans until res.
cuers arrived. Guards along the
creek aided in the rescues.
Much Damage Done
From my vantage point, it
could be seen that damage to
the Chinese city was colossal. All
stores and banks were closed.
My survey of the situation was
suddenly interrupted when a
band Of soldiers posted inside a
battered station house nearby
spotted me and turned their
machine-guns in my direction.

Bad news today from Shang.

been happening in Manchuria.
Not only China and Japan are
mixed up in this mess. The
events of the last Is hours have
placed these unwelcome and un-

the doorsteps of each and every
member of the family of nations.
Gibbons Sees Precedent
Gables and radios are buzzing
to their fullest capacity as reports,
protests and explanations are
speeding from Shanghai to the
foreign departments of every gov
ernment in the world. This is
a great time to watch your step
and keep your powder dry.
For the first time in history, a
belligerent nation has used the
international concession in Shang-
hal as a military base for Of
fensive operations against China.
Japan has done this, and done
it not in concert with nor in
consideration of other nations
equally interested here, but en-
tirely on her own,
1t is just as though the Jones
family, occupying one apartment
in a 10-flat building, used their
apartment as the 'base for an
attack on a flat building across
the street.
The occupants of the flat build
ing successfully resist the attack
and >retaliate by carrying the
fight back across the street and
cleaning out not only Jones'
apartment but the flats of the
other nine families as we'll.

REBEL MINERS

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. %
G.NSO-Use of the injunction
in labor disputes was the chief
topic at today's session of the
convention of the United Mine
Workers.
Delegates from the rebel Dis
trict IL resisted a resolution de-
claring it to be the sentiment
of the convention that an in
junction obtained in Illinois
against President John L. Lewis
be dissolved.
The Illinois chieftains proposed
to trade dissolution of the in
junction for revision of the mine
union constitution to prevent
Lewis from interfering with dis
trict and sub-district affairs.
However, President Lewis ruled
out of order a motion made by
Delegate Ray EdmondSon, of
Ziegler, ILL.,, to defer consideration
Of the injunction resolution until
after the constitution had been
taken up, thereby facilitating a
trade.
A substantial majority Of the
delegates susta inc d President
Lewis.
The convention has indorsed a
five-billion-dollar appropriation by
Congress to inaugurate a pro-
gram of public works. Another
resolution indorsed by the conven-
tion urged passage of the La Fol
lette-Costigan bill, which would
give $375,000,00O in direct relief
to the jobless.

can Marines in Shanghai, re.
ported to the Navy Depart

A provisional truce, subject to
confirmation by later negotiation,
has been arranged by japanese
and Chinese military authorities
at Shanghai after many hours OF
desperate and spectacular street
fighting--the first in modern his
tory in a city Of more than .
million population.
U. S., British Force Truce
Doubt is expressed in Shang.
hal that the truce can be made
entirely effective.
The truce was effected by the
combined efforts" of the Ameri.
can and British consuls.
The International Defense Coun-
Gil will meet tomorrow morning
in Shanghai to consider the situa.
ton.
Japanese marines have en-
countered surprisingly stubborn
resistance and have been unable
to take the North Station at
Shanghai from Chinese regular
soldiers.
Two Japanese bombing planes
have been shot down by Chinese
machine-gunners after raiding the
native quarter of Chapel.
Tokyo May Send Army
The Tokyo foreign office dis
closed today that the japanese
government is now contemplating
the dispatch Of an army to
Shanghai, despite the protest OF
the United States Government
and the milder representations OF
the British government.
The Japanese fleet at Shang-
hal is being reinforced by the
dispatch of another destroyer
flotilla and an aircraft carrier.
Four American destroyers are
bound for Shanghai from Manila
under full steam and other units
of the American Aslatic Fleet are
in readiness to hasten to the
Chinese seaport If the situation
warrants.
COnsuls Watch Closely
The foreign consuls at Shang'
hal are watching the situation
closely. The landing OF two
companies of Japanese marines
on the Bund yesterday brought
a sharp reminder from the consul
lar corps today that the Inter
national Settlement should not be
used as a basis for japanese
military operations.
Nevertheless, an Exchange Tele-

 Walker and his attorney, John J. Curtin, fought to have Roosevelt dismiss the charges as trivial. They fought to obtain a ruling that Roosevelt should call every witness presented at the Hofstadter hear ings, in order that the mayor might have his constitutional right" of cross-examinaiton. The governor ruled adversely on both points. But he offered to permit Curtin to call any he pleased. Curtin refused lon technical point.
 Curtin then went before Supreme Court Justice Ellis J. Staley and demanded a writ forbidding Roose- welt to proceed with the custer hearings on the grounds that the mayors constitutional rights were being violated.
 Justice Staley ruled that the gov- ernor's power is above that of any court and at the same time of- fered gratuitous opinion that the hearings were unfair.
