Chicago. A up. 15. The report of
George P. West and C. T. Chenery, I
who investigated the July strike of
Standard Oil Company cmplov
Bayonne, N. J. for the United States
Commission on Industrial Relations,'
was made public to-night by Frank P.
Walsh, chairman of the commission.
The report said, in part, after stating
that the strike was against th>* Stand?
ard Oil Company of New Jersey:
"The company i ?! i most imiortant
of the Standard (hi group, and tin
group is the principal contributor t,>
the wealth. pr"siige and power of the
? estate in the country, if not
in the world, that of Mr. John D. Rock?
efeller, sr., and Ins immediate family.
The facts regarding the company' la?

garded as of special iignificar.ee be?
cause of the tremendous powei wield?
ed by the group of nun who c?>i.tro!
this industry and because of their an?

widening their influence and actively

"The men are made to understand."
the report continued, "that they must
seek no outside assistance in their
dealings with the management, and
that any show of independence or any
hint of compulsion will be vigorously |
resented ...
"The company ha? instituted :o r-.a- ,

Won't Stop Shipping Arms,
U. S. Notifies Austria
Declares Safety of America Demands That Right of
a Belligerent to Buy Munitions from
Neutrals Be Recognized.
Tu? TrltMBM nuisaii )
Waahinfton, Aug. II. "The nation?
tj (,f the Unit-ad Statll and othe
nations; without great military est?t
! lishmen?.-," demands thar the right of
belligerent to r irehaae munitions fror
neutral? be seogniaad. This plai
? -'?*nt of the "practical reason
which is offered in support of interna
; tiona! practico to refute the Austria:
contention that arms shipments to th
! Allies should be stopped is the -alien
feature of the American note to Aus
tr?a, m.-iile public here to-night.
In drafting the note it was Secretar;
Lansing's object to sum up once ?n?
il in definite form the .ittitiiil?- a
this government on this question
which has eataaed serious internationa
and domestic complications. In M
doing, diplomats agree, he has con
tributad niater'ally to international lavs
and has given to future students of th?
1 subject a text that can be cited as the
clearest and mo.st complete argument
i yet offered.
"The I'nitcM Statll has always de?
pended," th" Secretary ?ays, "upon the
right and power to purch.ise arm and
ammunition f-om neutral nations in
of foreigr. artaik. This right,
which it claims for itself, it cannot
deny to other.?." To do otherwise, it is
argue.i, would forever place peaceful
nation! which make no extensive prep
i arations for war at the mercy of those
which labor year after year to amass
store.? of mii-.ition?.
Would Work Again?t Peace.
To adopt the doctrina enunciated by
a would, in the opinion of this
government, "force militarism on the
world*' by th.- obligation it would im
po.se on every nation to "become an
' armed camp" and be absolutely self
.sufficient in the matter of munitions of
| war. Such a principle would "work
against that universal peace which is
the desire ar._ purpose of all nations1
which exalt justice and righteousness
in their relations with one another."
While it is specifically denied that
any reference is intended to violations
of treaty obligations at the outbreak of
the war by Germany, the note contains
nevertheless a stinging rebuke of such
procedure. "A nation whose principle
and policy it is to rely upon interna?
tional obligations and international
justice to prc.ervc its political and ter?
ritorial integrity," says the note,
'"might becom?- the prey of an af
sive nation whose policy and practice
it la to increase its military strength
during times of peace with the design
of conquest."
The export by Austria and Germany
of military supplies to Great Britain in
the Boer W.ii when the South African
republics were cut off on the .sea as
Germany and Austria are now is intro?
duced as a parallel to the present case.
Could Be Extended to Food.
Although Austria contends only for
an embargo o, munitions, the note as
'hat a principle applicable to mu?
nitions would logically have to be ap?
plied to all contraband. Food and
clothing are as necessary as arm
noted, and to carry the doctrine of
equalization to its logical conclusion
would oblige neutrals to restrict com?
merce in the-- articles as well.
Referring to the Austrian contention
that the United States is violating the
Hague Convention, No. 13, of 1007, the
note declares that the convention cited
grants the prvilege to neutrals of re
' ng trade in contraband, but does
not impose it as an obligation.
The Austritn note contended that to
permit exports of munitions while for?
bidding vessels to carry them to \s ir
Bt sea i inconsistent. The Amer?
ican reply points out that interna?
tional law sptcirically forbids neutrals
to make of their territory a naval base
for belligerent warships.
A third po'r.t of the Austrian com?
plaint, that luthorities on interna?
tional law ar. unanimous that arms
shipments should be prohibited when
the traffic a-sumes such proportions
that neutrality becomes involved there?
by, is categoi ically denied. It
