Japan Will Fight
, , Withdrawal of
Manchuria Force
Spokesman Says Empire If
Beady to Take Troops, From
All Other Province!
, Of China,
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNINO
Washington, Dec. 1. That Jspau
lias na intention of withdrawing
(rem Manchuria vrai diidoiad yt
terday at lh session of the Confer
ence committee on far eastern ue$
tiont.
In response to China'i proposal
. that all foreign troopi be withdrawn
from Chiiu, Mr. lianihara of the
laoantM delegation stated that J-i
pan it ready to. agrre upon condi
tion! for withdrawal ot lorcei tront
those parts of China, exclusive of
Manchuria, in which they are bow
stationed.
In Manchuria, however. Japan in
sists upon the retention of Japanese
soldiers and police and Mr. Haoihara
detended the attitude of gov.
ernment in this particular at
length. That Japan will refuse to
yield and will retain control in Man
. rhuria, while compromising on other
Chinese questions, it now regarded
as a foregone conclusion.
Mr. Hanihara taid that the main
tcnance of. Japanese troops along the
south Manchurtan railway is recog
nized by China under the treaty of
yetting of 1W3 and continued:
"It is a measure of absolute neces
sit under the existing state of at'
fairs ia Manchuria a region which
has been made notorious by the ac
tivity of mounted bandits. Even in
the presence of Japanese . troops,
these bandits have made repeated at
tempts to raid the railway zone. In a.
large number of cases they have
cut telegraph lines and committed
other acts o ravage."
The Japanese delegation . stated
that these Japanese troops would be
withdrawn from Shantung when
China is able to protect the railway,
front Hankow when China restores
order there.
Unions Call Strike
Of Packer Workmen
(Coatlaaad From re tai.
worVmen," he said. "In that event,
fully 60,000 workmen may be af
fected," The strike order issued today
brings to a climax a controversy be
tween thjs packers and union work
men extending over three months.
During the war packing plants
operated under the Alschuler agree
ment, til disputes being referred to
Federal Judge Samuel Alschuler for
arbitration. This agreement was ex
tended for sv year after the war ami
expired September. IS. "
At that time four of the "big five"
packers Armour & Co., Wilson &
Co., Swift & Co, and the Cudahy
Packing company inaugurated a
system of plant conference and
stated their intention of dealing di
rectly with their employes through
conferences. : - ' ''
Vote Taken in October.
In October the Amalgamated Meat
Cutters and Butcher Workmen of
North America took a strike vote be
cause it was asserted that the pack
ers did not recognize the union. A
canvass of this vote, according to
union officials, disclosed that more
than 30,000 workmen had voted to
strike and 3,000 had voted in oppo
sition. Last month the four packing com
panies began holding assemblies in
the various plants, following which
it was announced representatives of
the workmen had agreed to a cut in
wages and had either fixed the
amount of the decrease or allowed
the companies to do so. - These re
ductions, averaging about ltf per
cent, became effective Monday in the
four plants affected and. Morris &
Co. also announced similar reduc
tions. " .
The unions asserted the plant as
semblies did not represent the work
men and expressed opposition to the
action. The last, general strike in
the packing industry was in 1904.

Two Men Accused of
Fogg Murder by Pierce
(Continued From Ps On.) "
was the night of the murder or the'
night before that saw Stevens
looking in the store window,"said
Mrs. Russell. "I would swear to the
identity of Stevens. When I saw
him in the county jail I" almost
fainted, I am not so sure about Da-mato."
Mrs. Russell picked the two men
from a group of 10 prisoners at the
county jail yesterday. Mrs. Fogg,
widow of the murdered man, and
her daughter, Adelaide, were pres
ent when Mrs. Russell identified
them.
Found Fogg Dead.
Mrs. Russell said that she was in
the FogfT store at 9, o'clock the
night of the murder and talked with
Fogg. At 11:55 she called the store
because she needed some fuel alco
hol. She asked Fogg how long he
would .keep the store open and he
answeredi "I am Just leaving, but
I'll wait till you get here." Just as
she was about to- hang up the re
ceiver she beard him say: "Hello.-'
The greeting, she said, was prob
ably for the men who proved to be
his murderers. A few minutes later,
when she reached the store she
found him dead, she says. She had
been a friend of long standing with
the Fogg family, she declared.
Pierce was taken back to Lincoln
by Gus Hyers last night. Two city
detectives guarded ' Pierce, Hyers,
and Hyers automobile during the
entire day." ..They intimated they
feared a desperate attempt for re
venge by members of an ' under
world ring. Even the place , where
Pierce was given his luncheon was
kept a secret. Pierce will be brought
back here Saturday, according to
Mr, Shotwell.
Under U. S. Indictment
"Finger" Stevens Is under a fed
eral indictment for possession of
narcotics. He said last night, in
county jail that he had not entered
the Fogg pharmacy since '-it was,
moved from the third ward to its
present location.! He also denied
having seen Pierce since 1918.
County Attorney Shotwell said he
would conduct the prosecution of
the Fogg murder case personally.
Stevens has .been in jail for five
weeks and Damato for three weeks.

Japan W aunts
Japan "stands alone as the great obstacle in the way of amicable settlement of the Pacific .
and Far Eastern questions," declares a recent press dispatch from Washington. Nor was the
skeptical attitude of this correspondent toward Japanese intentions at the Arms Conference
unique. Many other journalistic observers, noting how much Japan has at stake in any readjust
ments in the Orient, waited apprehensively for some move from Japan that would doom the
Conference to failure. But instead, we find Japan falling in line with the other Conference
Powers behind the principles submitted by the United States Government for the reduction of
naval armament and for the solution of Far Eastern problems. True, Japan has suggested cer
tain modifications in the navy-reducing pro'gram--rbut so have other Powers. Even H. G. Wells,'
whose comment on the Conference has not been exuberantly optimistic, says that "we already"
seem further from war in the Pacific and nearer security there than at any time in the last two
years." Among other assurances given by Japan, Admiral Kato informed the Washington cor
respondents, in -answer to a direct question, that "Japan considers Manchuria as being a part of
China." But such assurances, correspondents tell us, leave the Chinese cold. "We may have
faith in pledges made by other Powers," writes the associate editor of the Shanghai Shun Pao,
"but we still entertain grave doubts in' those made by Japan." , .
Nowhere else can you get a more comprehensive sweep of public opinion on all the ins and
outs of the Arms Conference at Washington than by reading THE LITERARY DIGEST each
week.' The leading article in this week's number, December 3, 1921, treats of the attitude of
Japan in the parley and the impressions that this attitude makes upon the various nations in
terested. . . --. 7';
