.Would Bar Ipnmlgratlon For 3 Years
i Washington.—Suspension of immi
gration for three years except for hus
bands, wives and minor children of
{naturalized citizens, is proposed in a
ibill introduced recently by Chairman
jjoihnson of the house Immigration com*
imittee. The measure would become
,'effective sixty days after enactment.
'The present 3 per cent immigration
restriction law expires next June 30.
Discussion on this measure will hardly

New Year holidays, and it is likely
‘that it will occupy several days.
Railroad Laborers To Fight Wage Cut
: New York.—Representatives of 35,-
000 maintenance of way and railroad
shop laborers throughout the country
voted here recently to reject any wage
reduction proposals by the roads and
appeal to the railroad labor board on

ward from 17 per cent. The increases
,to be asked would raise the scale of
maintenance of way men from 40 to
48 1 /2 cents an hour and add 10 cents

ments.

{pleaded not guilty when arraigned in
the criminal court.

{Korea Wants Hearing At Conference
) ‘Washington.—The Korean commis-
ieion, appealing to the arms confer
ence for an opportunity to present
.(its case, Bald that to ignore that coun-
• itry would.be to. lpave “an Asiatic
!Alsace-Lorraine” to-'disturb interna
tional relations, “justice- to Korea con
stitutes dispensable, requisite to the
(Permanent adjustment of Far Eastern
affair®,’” said the appeal.
the plenipotentiaries of Great Britain,
France, Italy, China, Belgium, The
Netherlands and Portugal.
To be binding on the United States,
the treaty must be ratified by the sen
ate, several of whose members with
held comment, pending a further
study of the text. Open war was de
clared on it by some of the “irrecon
cilable group” of the Versailles treaty
fight, but Republican leaders and some
Democrats declared ratification was
certain.
The signatures of the representa
tives of the powers have not yet been
affixed to the document, and there is
an intimation that they may be with
held until the question of naval ratio
has been settled definitely. The naval
situation remains unchanged, pending
word from Tokio, but there is general
confidence that approval of the Amer
ican “5-5-3” plan will be made unan
imous in the very near future.
In lieu of signature, the "principal
delegates have put their initials on
the official copy of the treaty, and
Senator Lodge said recently that this
act of affirmation was to be inter
preted as meaning that the document
has been “approved, to all intents and
purposes.”
The treaty agreement is expected
in Itself to hasten a decision, not only
on the naval ratio, but on all the other
issues before the arms conference.
The delegates believe they are over
the top of the hill,, and a British
spoksman went so far as to character
ize the session as “practically the
break-up of the conference,” so far as
major considerations are concerned.
Washington.—The naval ratio nego
tiations, apparently at their most f&
yorable stage since, the arms confer*
once began, waited on Tokio recent*
ly, while the representatives of Great
Britain, Japan and France were
.coming together in a conditional agree-
■meat for withdrawal from portions of
their leased territory in China,
i Outward developments contributed
;nothing to the status of the naval dis
cussions, but the impression grew in
{usually well-informed circles that the
American, British and Japanese gov
ernments were considering, in pro
visional form, an agreement that not
•only would include acceptance of the
American 6-5-3 ratio, but would have
to do as well with Pacific fortifica
tions, and some of the political prob
lems of the Far East.
| Definite action, however, will have
to wait for several days, while the
.Japanese delegates feel out the atti
tude of their home government to-
{ward the newest phase of the nego
tiations, as It shapes up from the re
cent conference between the heads oi
the American, British and Japanese
delegations.
In the meantime, | what actually
transpired at the meeting of the "big
three” is a closely guarded secret, all
authoritative spokesmen refusing to
take, notice of the resulting crop of
{guesses and conjectures and surmises
aB to what “alliances,” "understand
ings” or “compromises” might be in
contemplation.
In the Far Eastern negotiations, on
the other band, the developments cen
tering about the Chinese leases were
of so pronounced a character as to
be regaled generally as ranking
among the most ‘mportant of the
whole conference. The British, Jap
anese and French in turn expressed
their willingness to give up certain of
their holdings in China, and although
definite undertaking are yet to be for
mulated, the move was accepted by
jthe friends of China as promising a
substantial modification of the prin
ciple of "spheres of influence.”
The much discussed Shantung lease
was among those Japan offered to
abandon as soon as China makes satis-
factory policing arrangements, but at
the same time the conference was- re
minded that the whole Shantung prob
lem was under consideration in direct
negotiations here between China and
Japan. A willingness to discuss the
south Manchurian lease also was evi
denced by the Japanese, although they
(Insisted that Japan’s treaty rights in
that section must be preserved to her.

Should Consider Potential Strength

sidered a direct allusion to the naval
ratio question, Sennosuke Yokata, pres
ident of the legilat^o bureau of the
