British French American Landing Forces Take
 Situation in Hand

SHANGHAI, May 18.-All but a few marines of those landed last week by the Japanese in Kulang- su, International Settlement at Annoy, are reported to have been withdrawn to nearby warships after a combined show of military and diplomatic force by the United States, Great Britain and France.
 A total of 126 American, British, and French bluejackets and ma rines patrolled Kulangsu today with force equal to the original strength of the Japanese landing party.
 The Japanese withdrawal is said to have followed an ultimatum de- livered last night by the British Vice Admiral Sir Percy Noble, con- veying the Kulangsu Municipal Councils refusal to yield to de- mands for Japanese administrative control of the settlement.
 Vice Admiral Noble is said to have informed the Japanese the British will keep naval forces on the is land so long as Japanese marines remained.

mporarY Restraining Order Dissolved But
 Contracts Voided

SALINAS, Cal, May 18.-Superlor Judge Jorgensen has dissolved the temporary restraining order which prevented the Alaska Fishermen's Union from negotiating for closed shop contract with employers in Alaska.
 Judge Jorgensen ruled against the Union however, in issuing an in- junction directing it not to prevent B Monterey fishermen plaintiffs from getting fishing jobs in Alaska, despite any contract the union might sign.
 Judge Jorgensen explained that he so ruled because he had nothing before him to determine the status of those men with the union which was disputed.
