VIOLATE GENTLEMEN'S PACT
Despite Tokio's . Promises,
Japanese Pour Into U..
Revision of Agreement or En
tire 3few Treaty Forecast.
Washington, ' Oct. 2. Steps have
been taken by the state department to
make more drastic and absolute the
restrictions against Japanese immigra
tion, it was authoritatively learned to
day. This new development in the nego
tiations over Ambassador Shidehara's
protest against the proposed California
law for absolute prohibition of land
ojvning by Japanese was regarded as
highly significant in Washington.
Study Gentlemen's Pact.
Roland S. Roberts, American am
bassador to Japan, has brought up in
tha negotiations with Shidehara a
study of the "gentlemen's agreement,"
for the purpose of devising some
means for an air-tight exclusion of
Japanese Immigration.
Morris is conducting the. negotia
tions in the United States.
While no plan is known to have
been agreed upon, it is understood, the
state department has taken the posi
tion that the "gentlemen's agreement"
is entire?y satisfactory. Under this
agreement, Japan voluntarily under
took to stop immigration to the United
States.
Agreement Violated.
Governor Stephens of California
charges that despite the "gentlemen's
agreement," the Japanese population
in that state is rapidly becomii.3 larg
er. While the agreement has never
been published, it was pointed today,
there are loopholes in it allowing Jap
ese still to enter this country.
A revision of the "gentlemen's agree
ment" or it-a abandonment for another
pact is regarded as likely.

planted on his run by William Penny
baker, freight conductor. The case
was appealed by Gregg from the cir
cuit court at Louisville, when he was
refused a restraining order.
'The suit grew out'of the fact that
Pennybaker asked for Gregg's Job un
der the seniority rule contract of the
railroad and -brotherhood 'of railway
conductors, and was upheld by railway
adjustment board number 1. Washing
ton. Pennybaker is a brotherhood
member, but as Gregg is not, he asked
the circuit court at Louisville for the
injunction on the .ground that the
seniority contract did not apply to
him. The injunction was refused and
he appealed to the court of appeals.
. In' making his decision Judge Clark
held that the adjustment board had
authority only to pass upon disputes
submitted before federal administra
tion ceased and therefore had no Jur
isdiction in this case which was filed
after that time.' As to the seniority
rule, the court held that it could not
be invoked by a freight conductor to
displace a passenger conductor. It is
said this is the first case of its kind
ever contested in civil Courts. , ' .

men have been carefully select
ed, he said, and have not led or Insti
gated any reprisals. Some reprisal
have occurred, Tudor admitted, but
"aHa result of the men being goaded
beyond human edurance."
The Star published a long Interview
with Alfred Smith, who said he re
signed from the "black and tans" be
cause of the "appalling lack of dis
cipline." Smith said he did not re
member of any direct Instructions for '
