30 AMERICANS ESCAPE
Thirty Americans Narrowly
escaped death in the first raid on
Canton. Refugees from the Yang

Canton Hankow railroad station
when Is Japanese planes began
aiming missiles at the building
At least 80 persons were killed
in the first swoop. Most were non
combatants living in the slums
the station. Six were killed in the
station itself.
While scores Of anti-aircraft
guns popped away, Chinese sol
diers with fixed bayonets drew up
in a circle around the station and
prevented any accurate check on
casualties.
STATION SHIPS BOMBED
Twelve airplanes roared over
the capital twice and bombed the
Pukow railroad station a few miles
outside the town. Chinese war
ships anchored down the Yangtze
River also were attacked.
In the face Of those daily raids

u. S. TRADE, IS
WANG'SWARNING
Chinese Envoy Claims
"PIot" by Nippon
BY ROBERT G. NIXON
Copyright. 1887. by International
News Service)

China has warned the United
States against a Japanese pilot
to destroy Americas 100000, 00t
Far Eastern market and strike {
Gripping blow at the Southern
cotton grower and the textile
manufacturing industry, it was
learned today.
Chinese Ambassador C. T. Wang
has informed Secretary Of State
Hull that Japanese Subjugation Of
China will mean an end to Amer
ica's vast annual export trade to
the Orient.
WARNS OF BIG LOSSES
Further, Wang asserted. the
United States stands to lose it,
entire foreign cotton export trade
and probably the greater portion
Of its world market for textile
goods in the event Of Japanese
conquest Of China.
Japan, Wang informed Hull,
plans to use China's fertile fields
and cheap Chinese coolie labor to
raise vast quantities Of cotton, not
only to supply all its own nedes,
but to compete with the United
States in the worlds raw cotton
markets, and to flood the world
with cheap cotton goods, manufac-
tured on Japanese looms.
Americas high standards of
labor and high wages never could
hope to stand up against cotton
produced by coolie labor and goods
doomed by cheap japanese labor,
Wang warned.
NEUTRALITY ACT HIT
He warned particularly against
invocation of the neutrality act,
declaring this would be the first
step toward wiping out a vital
export business which daring
Yankee traders began building
three-quarters Of a century ago.
Between China and Japan, the
Far East is the United States
third largest customer.
If President Roosevelt should
invoke the neutrality act, it would
hurt the United States far more
than China, Wang told Hull. Such
a step would make it impossible
for China to buy further American
goods, and she would be forced to
turn to other nations exclusively.
Once the United States lost it's
Chinese market, it would be
recoverable, Wang told Hull.
The United States may save its
trade with China by sidestepping
action on the neutrality act, but a
far worse fate awaits American
trade if Japan conquers China,
Wang declared. During the past
year Japan was the largest Amer
lean customer for cotton, purchaS-
ing 10000 bales, or one-fifth Of
total cotton exports.

FIGHTS WHEELER
Here in Yellowstone Park, the
President learned, for example,
that Montana'S Senator Burton K.
Wheeler, leader Of the anti-Court
Bloc in the Senate, has been going
up and down the State hurting
direct challenges at Roosevelt's
authority in the party. 1t is to
squelch this revolt, to remove from
the voters minds any doubt that
he is in control and to impress the
minor State leaders that many of
the forthcoming appearances here
in the West this week will be
made.
PERSONAL APPEAL
Friendly New Deal Senators
Pope, Of Idaho; Bone and Schwel-
lenbach, of w shington, and Muir
ray, of Montana, will be by the
Presidents side when he makes
his important appearances.
His Fort Peek Dam talk in Mon
tana, probably will be the most
significant speech of the trip.

election in 1910.

JOINED BY LEADERS

Democratic leaders of the State
in full force boarded the train last
night at West Yellowstone, where
the President concluded a 36-hour
Sojourn in the park with Mrs.
Roosevelt, their daughter, Anna, her
husband, John Boettiger, Seattle
publisher, and Eleanor and Curtis,
the two grandchildren.
Those aboard all agreed that the
President was strong in Idaho, and
that the State was more interested
in the price Of potatoes and silver,
reclamation and roads than the
Supreme Court issue or the alleged
Ku Klux Khan affiliation of JUS
tice Hugo L. Black.
Mr.. Roosevelt apparently, how
ever, was entering a State where
the Democratic party is badly split
on local issues. Senator James P.
Pope, Gov. Barzilla Clark and Rep
resentative Compton White are all
strong New Dealers. Representa-
tive D. Worth Clark and National
Committeeman Ramsay Walker
are said to be off the reservation.
FACES 3ATTLE
Pope, it was understood, will
have stiff opposition for reelec-
ton to the Senate next year and
his friends say copper and utili.
ties interests will be behind the
opposition.
All concerned waited anxiously
to see whether the President
would bring up his philosophy of
Government control of power as
against private ownership.

Members of local 261 of the Power full Chauffeurs' and Teamsters Union, an American Federation of Labor affiliate, formally ratified at 2 a. m. an agreement reached at a night-long conference of union rep- resentatives, truck owners and state officials. Besides a 10 per cent wage increase, the compromise agreement called for: 1. A 4S-hour work week: 2 time and half pay for overtime; 3, a closed shop: 1, 30-dAy notice for amendment of contract; s, Q two-year contract; 6, reference of future disputes to state labor Direc- tor Thomas F. McMahon, whose de- cisiol would be binding.
 Unions Yield One Point
 On only one point did the union yield from It's original demands. At first union representatives insisted on g 20 per cent increase to bring wages to the Boston level, but after personal pleas from Governor Ro- bert E. Quinn and McAdahon at last nights conference they finally ac- cepted the compromise 10 per cent proposal. Chief victory for the union was believed teh closed shop clause, whivch gave the A.
