tentions Over Duties, Pay
and Hours.

complete victory today when the Labor
Department, in decision following a
hearing in connection with the recent
painters strike, upheld their conten-
tions as to the duties of a painter

1t Is expected the decision will have
the effect of barring bids by nom union
contractors on Government painting
Jobs.
The decision held:
I. That moving scaffolds, arrang-
ing drop cloths. cleaning paint spots.
etc, are part of a painters work and
must be paid for at the rate OF
&1.57 II an hour.
2. That the regular working week
of painters mere consists of five 7-hour
days and that in future Government
contracts this scale shall apply. This
means that double pay must be given
for hours worked in excess of this

Division today blocked the advance
OF the Japanese Army and held stra-
tegic Nankow Pass in the face of a

Two regiments Of the 89th-Japan-
ese estimated their strength at 1000
were defending the southern ap-
proaches to the narrow mountain rate
way to Manchuria against a mechan-
lied japanese brigade supported by
heavy artillery and planes.
In a day-long battle yesterday the
japanese infantry attacked and cap
tured the deserted town of Nankow,
80 miles northwest Of Peiping.
The Chinese had abandoned the
town, withdrawing to naturally i'm
pregnable positions in the mountains
where China's ancient great wall
snakes its way.
The japanese artillery then turned
It's fire on the ancient fortificatio
registering several direct hits on the
centuries-old structures. Shrapnel and
nigh explosive shell damaged the
Chinese temples-long the mecca of
American tourists-perched on the
hillsides.
The Chinese batteries Immediately
returned the fire and forced the Japan
ese artillery headquarters to retire a
quarter of mile.
The town of Nankow nestles at the
foot of the precipitous mountain range
through which passage is possible only
IN the narrowest defile which the rail-
road from Peiping follows to Kalaan,
Even if the Japanese succeed in driv-
ing the Chinese out of their strong en-
trenchments it was thought likely
they would be unable to continue the
advance. The Chinese were expected
to take the abvious precaution of dyna-

| By the Associated Press.
Secretary of State Hull disclosed to.
day that the United States had de-
manded assurance from Great Britain
that rights of this Government and
its nationals in Palestine will be pro.
tected under any changes in the Pal
estine mandate.
Hull made public diplomatic ex-
changes in which the United States
enunciated its safeguard require
ments. The notes followed a British
proposal to partition Palestine into
Jewish and Arab states.
Britain assured the United States it
would keep this Government fully
informed"
The foreign Office informed Robert
W. Bingham. American Ambassador to
ernment would be consulted and its
assent sought on any changes in the
mandate affecting American rights.
To Propose Changes TO League.
Britain said it intended to propose
changes recommended by its Royal
Commission of Inquiry to the League
Of Nations Council next month.
American rights in Palestine were
established in an American-Brit
convention Of December 1924. This
compact secured to the United States
all rights and benefits enjoyed by
League members and their nationals,
regardless of Americas non-member-
ship in the league.
The convention further secured
American property rights, religious and
educational freedom for American ma
tionals, and applied to Palestine the
same extradition procedure existing be-
tween Britain and the United States.
Must Have U. s. Consent.
The convention provided that no
change affecting the American British
convention could be made in the man
date without United States consent.
After first assurance that this Gov
ernment would be kept fully informed
of modification proposals, Ambassador
Bingham made q second request, that
these proposals may be communicated
to my Government in ample time to
enable it to determine what, II any,
observations it may desire to make
with view to the preservation Of Amer
ican rights In Palestine"
It was assumed Geat Britain would
grant the request.
