, 10 PROTEST NEW
ANTI-ALIEN BILL
WASHINGTON, May 1. The nntl
nllon land bill submitted by Attorney
(lonoral Webb of California and
adopted by tho nennto of that state
as an amendment to tho lllrdnall bill
In still djirrlmlnatory and violates
tho terms of tho treaty between tho
United States and Japan, In the opin
ion of President Wilson and bis ad
visors. It Is understood that as soon
as the hill Is pased Viscount Chimin,
tho Jnpnneso ambassador, will filo a
formal protest with tho stato depart
ment. It Is expected that President WIN
sou will siiKROit that tho quickest
way to secure results Is lo bring, ac
tion In tho federal courts to test tho
constitutionality of tho hill.
All negotiations so far between
Ambassador Chimin and government
officials have been of tho most
friendly character. Proslilunt Wil
son believes Jupun will flRht hur bat
tles In tho courts and not otherwise.
If Japan begins a test enso tho
administration wilt decide, whether
tho lilw attacked Is of biicIi a char
acter us to seriously mennco rela
tions with a friendly power. If tho
opinion of John Hassott Moore, coun
sellor for the state department, that
tho bill Is dlseiimlnntory, Is con
firmed, tho government will aid
Japan In tho I'nlted States court of
appeals as ' a friend of tho court."

ST. LOUS, Mo., May 1. In nn
address punctuated with satirical
comment upon lifo of enso nml tran
quility enjoyed by the United States
nnuy and navy nnd ridicule for those
s)K)iisors of militarism who sec the
danger of war in every international
controversy, Andrew Carnegie today
ojHjned tho fourth American Penee
Congress in this city. Tho grizzled
ironmaster npeared in his favorite
role of America's foremost exioncnt
of world penco and reformed spelling,
as represented by what ho had to say
and tho way the words be spoke wero
printed in the copies of his speech
prepared for the guidanco of the
newspajver representatives.
Pays Iletpects to Army.
Ho paid his repeets to the army
nnd navy by declaring that those vo
untions involved the least ris kof any
n man eiiu enter. He pooh-poohed
tho idea that any of tho powers had
tho slightest desire to so to war with
tho United States, and declared that
there never would be occasion for war
if this country simply will treat nil
nations with justice uml friendliness,
Carnegie derided the iwssibility of
there ever being war between tho
United States and Great llitaiu or
France, giving bis reasons in each
ease. As for the possible invasion
of this country by a great foe, tho
ironmnstor had other comment.
"Thcro is no nrmed nation or com
bination of nations so foolish as to
dream of invasion," ho declared.
"Their ships might try to do some
mischief, firing many miles away
from the const, but no power in tho
world could, or would attempt to
laud or march inland. If any did,
tho number left to answer the roll
call and return would bo small indeed.
British authorities consider it must
bo possible for an enemy to land as
many ns 170,000 men upon their
island in threu weeks. Wo could
eopo with seven times that numbor."

BY TRAINMEN
NEW YOHK, Mny l.-A strike of
conductors and other trainmen on
fifty-two eastern railroads is
threatened following the refusal of
the managers of the roads to grant
demands for increased wages today.
Further negotiations are expected.
In their letter refusing tho in
creases the railroad managers detail
their reasons for such refusal. The
letter declares that if the roads are
compelled to pay higher wages the
burden will full on tho public. The
letter says in part:
"In making their demand for ex
travagant wages tho employes appa
rently act ou tho assumption thnt n
strike tying up traffic will never be
permitted by Iho public. They seem
to think that if tho striko is to be
avoided the railroads must give way.
The public will forco them to give
way. '
