TO WIN PROVIi
Agents in Limburg Told to
Start Propaganda.
PROMISES TO BE MADE
Belgian foreign Office Directs
General Headquarters to AVln
Favor of Limburgers.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. The
Netherlands legation has received a
copy of a secret document issued by
the Belgian foreign office to the Bel
gian general headquarters seeking to
create sentiment for the annexation
of the Dutch province of Limburg to
Belgium. The document has been
printed in the Nieuwe Rotterdamsche
Courant and its authenticity has been
acknowledped by the Belgian gov
ernment. The text of the document
as published in Holland, reads, trans
lated as follows:
'Ministry for foreign affairs.
"Direction H. Number 4246.
"Brussels, May 20, 1919.
'"Confidential note for general head
quarters. PropaKflnda Is Advocated.
"At this moment all Belgian agents
in Netherlands Limburg must . lend
their assistance to the best of their
abilities to prepare the return of this
province to the mother country; they
must not neglect a single opportunity
to point out to the Limburgers that
their interests are on the side of Bel
gium; they must encourage without
indiscretion those Limburgers. who
are our partisans, those who are se
cretly so and those wlo may be
come so.
"In giving these the most ready
help they must set off to advantage
the difference they make betweeen
Limburgers and Hollanders. Kvery
lay and at every favorable opportu
nity they must show their gratitude
o the Limburgers for their devotion
loward the Belgian refugees.
Indirect Methods VrKfd,
"At this moment the Belgians and
iimburg must create the impression
hat they have full confidence in the
iltimate result of the negotiations
vhich are taking place with Holland
vith regard to this revision of the
reaty of 1839 and the regulation of
he Scheldt and the Muese. They
nust be quite certain of the support
vhich the allied nations will give and
tt its effiicency. r
"They must not carry oh too much
irect propaganda, but must leave
hat to the Limburgers. They must
ntimate that if Limburg should again
ecome Belgian it will remain or will
gain become Limburg; that it will
'.ot be joined to another province;
hat the French language will not be
ntroduced and that Roman Catholi
ism will be as well protected as
nder the Netherlands rule. Anti
lericalism is not in place irl these
egions." ,

JAPANESE GRIP PROBLEM
CAPITAL, AND LABOR HARMONY
AIM OF SOCIETY.
New Organization Plans to Fore
stall Troubles and Adjust Differ
ences in Industrial Lines.
TOKIO, Aug. 27. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) The alert
ness of the Japanese in attacking new
world problems is shown. in the quick
formation here of the "capital and
labor co-operative society," which is
designed to forestall and arrange la
bor troubles which have sprung up
in mushroom fashion in Japan.
The" leaders of the movement In
clude the most prominent men in the
country. They say it is the duty of
wise men to keep the interests of the
consumer in sight and this can best
be accomplished in Japan by the
creation of a body that will step In
with its good offices at periods, of
strikes and lockouts.
At the formative meetings of the
society Baron Shibusawa expressed
the opinion that the attempts in west
ern countries to meet labor troubles
had not been successful and that
Japan should strike out alone in a
new, independent line.
Capitalists will raise an organiza
tion fund of the equivalent of $5,000,
000, and the work will be carried on
with the yearly income.
TAX PAYMENT IS SLOW
Douglas County Expects Big Rush
With $240,000 Due Next Week.
ROSE BURG, Or.. Sept. 25. (Spe
cial.) With less than $12,000 of the
second half of the taxes paid, up to
tonight the sheriffs office expects
a tremendous rush within the next
week. There are approximately $240.
000 in outstanding taxes to be col
lected by October 5, so the collecting
department is urging all who can
to send in their payments by check.
In this way it is expected to relieve
to a great extent the congestion now
bound to occur during the last two or
three days of grace.
Tax money has been coming In very
slow, it was declared today. This is
accounted for in part at least by the
fact of everybody, in the rural dis
tricts particularly, being busy fin
ishing up fall work.

REPORT ON PACKERS
ERRONEOUS-HOOVER
Mistaken Idea on Power of
Regulation Charged.
OWN ANALYSIS DEFENDED
Ex - Administrator Says Federal
Trade Committee Overestimated
Ability to Regulate Profits.
SAN MATEO. Cal., Sept. 25. Dis
cussing yesterday's dispatches from
Washington stating that the food ad
ministration had secured suppression
of the. federal trade committee report
on the food administration regulation
of the packers, Herbert Hoover, ex
administrator of food for the United
States government, said today:
"If anyone will read the whole of
my analysis of the federal trade com
mission's report on the food admin
istration regulation of the packers,
he will see that my objection to pub
lication was only conditional upon
simultaneous publication of my reply
because the report of the trade com
mission was mistakenly based on the
assumption by their accountants that
the food administration had authority
under the law to regulate profits on
banking, foreign investments, rail
ways, leather and other by-products
business of the packers, whereas the
authority of congress extended only
to their American food operations.
Excess Profits Tax Vrsred.
"Therefore the calculations and
recommendations in the trade com
mission's ' report were erroneously
founded. It was necessary, In order
to get at the heart of these profits,
to approach it through new legisla
tion which I believed could only be
done during tse war through the ave
nue of a war tax on excess profits
which I strongly recommended to con
gress. "The food administration regula
tions imposed a maximum limit of
9 per cent profit by the packers on
the capital employed in their food
business, or less than three quarters
of 1 cent a pound, but as a matter of
fact they so fixed prices that taking
all the packers together they did not
earn an average of 6 per cent during
the period of regulation.
Constructive Law Advocated.
"The administration figure of 9 per
cent maximum was approved by Mr.
Davis, one of the earlier members of
the trade commission, as set out in
my reply.
"The packers did make larger earn
ings out of their business, but these
businesses were not legally controll
able by the food administration be
cause congress had given no such
authority.
"The food administration strongly
advocated a more constructive law
for permanent regulation of the larger
packers and these recommendations
of a year ago were published in the
press some time last winter.."
GERMAN EYES M SENATE
MONARCHISTS ARE KEENLY
INTERESTED IX DEBATE.
Non-Ratification of Treaty, Says
One Writer, Would Create Situa-
tion Teutons Could Exploit.
(Copyright by the New Tork World, Pub
lished by Arrangement.
BERLIN, Sept. 25. (Special Cable.)
Reports" indicating the possibility
that the treaty may not be ratified
by the United States are causing con
sternation in democratic circles
throughout Germany, while the mon
archists and reactionaries are watching-
with increasing interest the de
liberations of the American senate.
Count Reventlow writes in the Ta
geszeitung that non-ratification by
the United States senate "would cre
ate a multitude of new perspectives
for Germany, which a shrewd, active
German government could exploit."
It is significant that the Frankfurt
Gazette, which during the war and
armistice glorified President Wilson's
policies, now discusses with alarm the
possibility of non-ratification, saying
that the importance and far-reaching
consequences of the attitude of the
representatives of the American peo
ple are very great, not only for the
Lnited States but also for Germany.
MARINE CORPS WILL STAY

to" a full brigade. Complete equip
ment, including aviation and artillery
material, will be kept in readiness
and the marine units at Mare Island
and Bremerton will be absorbed into
the brigade at San Diego.
General Pendleton served two years
in command of marines in San
Domingo and acted as military gov
ernor there. He has" had considerable

"NO ARBITRATION" GARY
(Continued From First Pa pre.)
charges of "radicalism" against
strikers and of "intimidation" against
employers.
PITTSBURG. Sept. 25. Develop
ments in the steel workers' strike in
the Pittsburg district today were few.
Both sides maintained their firm. posi
tion and neither made any "claims of
great gains.
Strike headquarters had no figures
to give, Secretary William Z. Foster
of the steel workers' national co
mittee contenting himself with the
statement that more men are leaving
the mills every day." "There is no
use giving any more figures," he
added. "Many plants are closed and
others are. going to close, and there
is every reason to feel encouraged."
Foreigners Return to "Work.
The Carnegie plants in Pittsburg.
Homestead, Bmddoek. Duquesne and
Clairton were running today, and of
ficials of the company said produc
tion was increasing. It was also said
at the Carnegie offices that a larger
percentage of foreign-born workers
are returning. The plants at Donora
and Monessen remain "cut down
and mills of the company at Newcas
tle and Farrell are working with in
creased forces, according to officials.
A march of strikers and sympa
thizers from Donora to Monessen was
prevented today by state police. Strike
leaders received information that the
troopers used violent methods in
breaking up the march, but this was
denied by local authorities at Donora
and Monessen. who said the strikers
dispersed without disorder.
Mayor E. V. Babcock, in response to
an inquiry tonight, gave out the fol
lowing statement summing up the
strike situation in the Pittsburg dis
trict: "I am glad to report that good or
der has been maintained in the 'city
and vicinity throughout, the whole
week. Only slight disturbances have
occurred. Credit is due to the men
themselves for helping to keep peace
and order.
Bethlehem Annnrfrii Vnlon.
"Based upon reliable information
received daily, it is my opinion that an
appreciable number of men are re
turning to their posts with few, if
any. additional men leaving their
work. This applies not only to the
city of Pittsburg, but to all Allegheny
county. Nearly all plants are running
and as far as the public is concerned
there is no evidence of labor troubles
noticeable. The city is moving along
In its normal condition."
Late today the strikers' national
committee received the answer of the
Bethlehem Steel company, to whom an
ultimatum had been sent by the com
mittee giving the company until 4
P. M. today to make an answer or a
strike would be called against its
plants Monday.
A sub-committee of the national
committee met tonight to consider the
answer.
National strike headquarters were
quiet today.
Union Preparing to Elcnt.
Mr. Foster spent the great part of
the day preparing to extend the
union's right of free speech and free
assemblage at McKeesport. Clairton
and Duquesne.- Arrangements were
made to hold a mass meeting of strik
ers in a mining town, two miles' out
of Clairton, in defiance of the sheriff's
proclamation forbidding such gath
erings. "Mother" Jones will speak.
The date was kept secret.
The activities of the state police in
this district were closely watched all
day by union representatives. Mr.
Foster asked his men to forward affi
davits regarding the state troopers'
action at Farrell and Monessen today
to the Pittsburg office. These will
be forwarded to the senate committee
Investigating the strike.
Radical Agrltat'on Charired.
The action of the state troopers In
breaking up the strike meeting at
Monessen and Donora has extended
the fight of the unions for "constitu
tional rights" to these places, Mr.
Foster said.
There was considerable interest
here In the announcement that Wil
liam J. Flynn, chief of the bureau of
investigation of the department of
justice, had. arrived in Pitt3burg to
investigate the strike situation. He
is reported to have been accompanied
by a number of special investigators.
Although nothing definite could
be learned at the local department of
justice headquarters, it was reported
that Mr. Flynn would have to in
vestigate the steel company offi
cials' charge that tne strikers were
being agitated by "radicals" and the
union's allegation that their men
were being denied the right of free
speech and free assemblage.
