to China, 'if this article remains in
the covenant, it means that "the un
derstanding" of Japan and England
becomes the acknowledged law of the
Orient, he said.
Mr. Simpson declared that China
has sent a special delegate to Paris
and Geneva to protest against the in
clusion of such a clause in the revised
covenant.
Mr. Simpson said his instructions
were to present China's case to offic
ials of the liritish colonies and he
added that he had a letter to Secretary
of State Hughes.
'NEW YORK, May li China Is seek

Anglo-Japanese treaty, Bertram Lenox
Simpson, adviser to the president of
China and statistician to the Chinese
government declared In a statement
r today.
Air. Simpson, who recently arrived
from Canada where he discussed the
treaty question with Premier Melghen
and other Canadian officials, said he
' had been commissioned by the Chi
nese government as its official spokes
' man In regard to the treaty. He was
, instructed, ho added, to use his dlsore
jtlon in seeking to create public senti
ment against the treaty's renewal on
pho ground that It tended to give mor
al support to Japan fur "further en-
oachnients on China." ...

CHICAGO, May 12. Railway labor
today formally admitted before tho
railroad labor board that It had failed
in Its efforts to prove authenticity of
a letter alleged to have been written
by a Pennsylvania railroad
"The first I knew of this letter."
Mr. Greer said, "was when the St.
Louis of flee of the Associated Pres
tuld me It had been presented before
the board on that day and asked if I
ared to make any Htatemont concern
ing it. I promptly looked through all
the office files, but could find no
trace of it."
T. U. Karrinirton, mantor mechanic
at C'ulumbuH. Ohio, and William H tub
bins, general foreman of the engine
houne and car department at Brad
ford, Ohio, testified they had no
knowledge of such a letter.
The board pushed a resolution re
questing the employes to present tne
evidence of the origin and authorship
of the letters. This. Frank I Walsh,
and the board adjourned without tak
ing any action in the case.

WASHINGTON. May 12. Labor
costs to class one roads were greater
by 115 per cent In 1920 than they were
In 1917, Julius KrttlttHchnitt, chair
man of tho board of the Southern Pa
cific railroad declared in a statement
submitted today to the senate Inter
state commerce commltteo. During
the same period, he added, gross rev
enues of the carriers Increased less
than G4 per eent. Statistics on labor
costs were given by the witness who
was cross-questioned after his direct
testimony of the past two days by
members of the committee which Is
Inquiring Into the whole railroad ques
tion. Since the Adanison law was en
acted, he. said, "labor costs have been
Increased by government action by
2,229.6a9,967. The otal for 11)20 he
added was J3,G9S,21C,a51. The state
ment said In part'
"The labor bill lo the carriers In
1916, which was before the Adamson
law took effect, stood nt $1 18,5711.394.
"In 1917 when the Adamson law was
in effect the aggregate compensation
of tho employes of the carriers ol
class one nmounted to $1.7.19,482,1 12
an Increasi) ovur 1910 of $270,905,718
"This was Increased by tho railroad
administration In 1918 so that tho
labor cost for that year was $2,013
813,351 or ail Increase over 1917 of
$874,331,209.
'This wns further Increased by tho
lallroad administration in 1919 so that
the labor cost for 1919 was $2,843,128.-
432 or an Increase over 1918 of $229,
315,081 and an increase over 1917 of
$l,103,84ti,290 and over 1910 of $1,374,
552,038.
'This labor cost for 1919 was fur
ther Increased by the rallioad'labor
board In 1920 so thai tli-s labor cost
for 1920 was $3,698,216,351 or an in
crease over 1919 of $855,987,919."
WASHINGTON, May 12. Under
cross-examination today by the senate
Inter-state commerco committee Juliu.i
Kruttschnltt, chairman of the board of
the Southorn Pacific company, insist
ed that the recent increase In freight
rates had not operated to bring about
a drop In railway freight business. The
only troublo is, he said, that tho in
crease in rates "came simultaneously
with tho depression In general busl
nesB.
'Haven't you seen tho risk of alien
atlon of public opinion by that policy
of increasing rates before reducing
wagos?" nskod Senator Townsend, re
publican, Michigan.
'Tho roads wero In a desperato sit
nation," wns tho reply.
All theso claims for reduction," he
continued, "boar the earmarks of n
well planned propaganda on the pres
ent rate structure. Tho fact la that
(he commodities for which the produc
ers now receive very littlo are taxed
so very greatly by middlemen and re
tailors that consumers must pay alto
gether disproportionate prices, while
the transportation charges aro very
small parts of tho increases."
"If I understand you," continued
Senator Townsend, "you have got to
havo nearly n billion dollars a year
more than you nre now getting, if you
are to operate these roads properly
How are you going to get It?"
"There are only two ways Increasi
revenue or reduce expenses," thu wit-
iioss replied.
"The first relief, and It Is substan
tial, will come from a reduction in
common labor costs," Bald Mr. Krutt
schnltt. "Fanners along our lines ate
employing men at $1.75 a day for ten
hours. The railway labor hoard re
quires us to pay several times that.
Railroads must be allowed to purchase
I heir labor at market prices but the
board is very slow to act.
"Some of the press rciHirtg nre get
ting my proposals wrongly. I have
advanced reduction of labor costs as
the first and most necessary step. The
chief hope lies in reduction of railway
expenses. What 1 havo said about the
Panama canal and highway competi
tion only bore upon the possibility of
Increasing revenues."
