WASHINGTON. July 37. Behind
the fog that envelops CXO.'s charge
that the administration has been In
different to the rights of labor In the
''little steel" strike, three things are
hidden:
1. There never has been a real
split between the president and John
Lewis.
2. There Isn't any now.
3. There Is one coming now .
By collusion, or coincidence, the
first story several weeks ago of the
break between the White House and
Mr. Lewis, the man who claims that
'labor won the election," had all the
appearances of stemming from both
sides. Before long, unoflclal spokes
men (on both sides) were saying that
so parting of the ways had been
reached.
Now the same sources (on both
sides again) are predicting that the
fork In the road is just a piece fur
ther down and around the corner.
Mr. Lewis has been using a typo of
pressure on the White House some
what suggestive of that which "a high
official" recently pointed out had
been used on the supreme court to
keep their decisions "more on Ju
dicial than on legislative lines.
When the head of the CIO
tough t he wasn't getting what he felt
he had coming from the admlnis
tratlon, he cast out a hardly -conceal
ed hint.. Frequently, all Mr. Lewis
got In answer was an impressive sil
ence. Sometimes he shared a gentle
wallop with his opponents the pla
gue wished on his house, for instance.
which he didn't like at all.
However, these little literary bruises
were only signboards pointing to the
fork in the road and the end of
beautiful friendship.
As one friend of the administration
puts It. "some day John Lewis Is go-
In it to ask too much.'
Cold-blooded associates of Mr. Lewis
say the same thing In different words,
namely, that "President Roosevelt Is
going to do too little."
They say the Democratic platform
promised protection to labor to or
eanlze without employer Interference
The United Mine Workers declare that
the administration Is already Indiffer
ent to "flagrant and wanton" viola
tions of labor In the steel strike.
When the White House-C.I.O. split
does come It will probably come on
n epigram.
Mr. Lewis will doubtless say again,
Life Is not cushioned with sophis
tries"; ask for deeds and, unable to

PEIPINQ, July 27. (AP) United
States marines prepared sandbag for-
tlflcatlons for the gates of the Inter
national legation quarter this after
noon after , Japanese ultimatum for
evacuation of Chinese troops from
the tense region had expired In an
atmosphere of strict Japanese mill
tary secrecy.
The American contingent was as
signed to guard four gates of the
legation headquarters against any
hostilities that might break out It
China failed to comply with Japan's
demands.
Foreign circles seemed alarmed
over the Impending deadline
of a second Japanese ultimatum to
morrow noon, demanding evacuation
of Chlna'a 37th division troops from
Pelplng Itself.
It was rumored Japanese miltary
leaders had threatened to bomb this
ancient capital if China failed to
comply, but other reports declared
Japan had given foreign powers as
surances the city, with a heavy Inter
national population, would be spared
aucb action. - - - - ' :--.-(This
dispatch from the Associated
Press correspondent' in Pleplng, sent
soon after the first noon deadline ex

Japanese authorities piled sandbag
fortifications around windows and
doors of the Yokohama Specie bank's
offices and all police forces of the
foreign quarter were standing by for
Instant action. .
The strictest secrecy also veiled the
actions of Chinese military forces,
and authorities declined to disclose
whether soldiers of the 37th division
bad quit the area west of Pelplng as
Japan demanded.
A state of semi-emergency existed
In the Pelplng legation quarter as

dered to concentration points by
their embassy, poured Into the" crowd
ed section after being subjected to
stern scrutiny.
The British embassy advised all
British women and children to take
