It is a ten-year agreement In which the four nations bind themselves to respect their existing rights In insular possessions and dominions in the Pacific, and in the case of disputes which can be settled by diplomacy agreed tc • joint conference among themselves. Any of the parties may withdraw on twelve months' notice. The treaty requires confirmation by the senate. Senator Lodge spoke as follows: "I should be insensible, indeed, if I did not feel deeply gratified by the opportunity which has come to me to i*y before the conferenoe a draft of a treaty the terms of which have been agreed upon by four of the great powers of the earth, in regard to the islands of the Pacific which they coo-. trol, either as possessions or dominions. I will begin by reading to the conference the treaty which, I am sure, Is full of meaning and importance to the world's peace: "The United States of America, the British empire, France and Japan, "With a view to preservation of the general peace and the maintenance of their rights in relation to their insular possessions and insular dominions In the regions of the Pacific ocean, "Have determined to conclude a treaty to this effect and have appointed as their plenipotentiaries: "The President of the United States of America, his majesty the king of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British dominions beyond the seas, emperor of India, and for the dominion of Canada, for the commonwealth of Australia, for the dominion of New Zealand, for India; the president of the French republic; his majesty the emperor of Japan, who, having communicated their Ml powers, found in good and due form, have agreed as follows: "ARTICLE 1--The high contracting parties agree as between themselves to respect their rights in relation to their Insular possessions and insular dominions In the regions of the Pacific ocean. "ft there should develop between <aay of the high contracting parties a controversy arising out of any Pacific (Question and Involving their said rights, which Is not satisfactorily settled by diplomacy and is likely to affact the harmonious accord now happily subsisting between them, they shall invite the high contracting parties to a joint conference to which the whole subject will be referred for consideration and adjustment. "ARTICLE II--If the said rights are threatened by the aggressive action of any other power, the high contracting parties shall communicate with one another fully and frankly, in order to arrive at an understanding as to the most efficient measures to be taken, jointly and separately, to meet the exigencies of the particular situation. "ARTICLE m -- This agreement shall remain in force for ten years from the time it shall take effect and •after the expiration Of said period it ahail continue to be in force, subject to the right of any of the high contractparties to terminate it upon twelve . tttonths' notice.

The treaty has not been signed formally, but has been initialed by rep- <resentatives of the four powers as afjflrtned. "The signing of this treaty," said 'Senator "Lodge, continuing, "is on the Cof the United States subject to making of a convention with Japan concerning, the status of the island of {Tap and whet are termed the man- •dated islands in the Pacific ocean."

Chicago, Dec. 12.--Stockyards union leaders have moved toward a settlement of the national packing house strike which since Monday morning has forced thousands of men into idleness and which has caused rioting In which two men were killed and more than 200 injured in Chicago alone. Almost at the same time the proposal was made 8,000 strikebreakers were detrained In the yards. It was said to be the purpose of the packers to feed and billet the strikebreakers inside the fences. It was explained that while all avenues of peace had not been closed the packers proposed to keep the strikebreakers at work during the period of disorder, so that production may be kept up. The first step toward a peace conference between the warring factions came from President Cornelius J. Hayes of the Amalgamated Association of Butcher Workmen--the main body of the strikers--even as federal and state mediators were formulating a plan of conciliation. President Hayes proposed the submission of the differences between the packers and their employees to "any fair form of arbitration." H; If Employees Reject the Reduction They Will Have Privilege of Ap. to Labor Board Enjoined by Judge Landls. • ' "¥>• * y.~ York, Dec. 12.--Cuts ranging from 10 to 30 per cent In the wages of approximately 750,000 railroad workers in the East and called for by tentative schedules drawn up at a conference of the bureau of Information of Eastern railways at Grand Central terminal here. . The reductions will go Into effect around Christinas. If the employees reject the new rates and are unable to agree with the roads on a compromise schedule they will have the privilege of appealing to the United States railway labor board. An early decision then would be asked. It was virtually decided at the meeting to reduce the pay of the men at least to the schedules In force prior to May 1. 1920, when rates were generally advanced. Under this tentative schedule shop workers who are now, drawing 77 cents an hour would be scaled down to 5^4 cents. Executives of the big Eastern railroads decided on pay cuts at a conference they held early In November, but the different scales were left to the information bureau. It was announced that members of this bureau had made "an exhaustive comparison of wages and living costs in nontransportation industries, and the present schedules would bring the wages of railroad workers practically to this level." Chicago, Dec. 12.--Judge Landls, In the United States District court. Issued a temporary Injunction restraining the United States labor board from publishing a decision which would hold the Pennsylvania railroad system had commlttdB a violation of the transportation act, in refusing the members oi the Federated shop crafts in their employ the right to elect shop officers under a certain type of ballot. The temporary order was obtained by C. E. Heiserman, general counsel for the Pennsylvania lines, and E. H. Seneff. Arguments to make the writ permanent will take place before Jndge Landls later. While they refused to comment on Judge Landls' action, members of the board expressed satisfaction that the matter is to be settled in court "The step taken by the Pennsylvania is a proper one," said one member ol the board, "and the board will make a vigorous oefense of Its position ia the matter."

There the Canadian and American were to be found side by side In the friendliest competition, the loser willingly admitting defeat when the other fellow carried off the blue ribbon. Some of the Choicest and best of Canadian stock was there, and much of It returned loaded down With ribbons denoting firsts, championships that Indicate pedigree, breeding and worth, and cups and trophies that were won in hard and severe contests. The hay aud grain classes were points . of great Interest, and Canada did well, securing prises. , Twenty-five first prices were listed In the oats class; Canada carried away 22 of them. A sample of oats from the Province of Alberta, weighing 48 pounds to the bushel, was the heaviest sample in the show. It waa Alberta oats that took the sweepstakes, the exhibitor in this case, J. W. Lucas, of Cayley, repeating what h« did last year. In wheat there were 25 first prises to be awarded; Canada got 28 ot them. The greatest interest <fM shown when the horse classes were called. Here also Canada stood well to the front. The Percheron entries showed, that Canada breeders were popular and successful exhibitors. Championships were awarded to a number, and first prizes were common. The same may be said of Clydesdales. This breed stood out prominently, there were many entries, and this old-time popular breed bad an ,•unusual number of admirers. This was especially so In "Wee Donald's" case. Here was a Saskatchewan horse, his owner taking back to Canada the grand championship. Not only has he done It this year, but last year as well--two years In succession--something never before done at the Live Stock show. In Clydesdales Canada won places In every class Ih which entries were made. The same story could be repeated In sheep and hogs, honors being heaped upon honors on Canadian entries. Particularly important is the fact that first prize for alfalfa seed was awarded for seed grown at Brooks, Alberta in competition with 48 entries. Alfalfa growing In Western Canada has been increasing by leaps and bounds, and this victory will give it--and the dairy Industry, which Is always Unked with It--a further impetus. A visit to the Canadian government exhibit of grains, grasses, vegetables, fruits, minerals and other products of the Dominion to the north, revealed In tabloid form what the great country to the north could do. A great Interest was aroused In this exhibit, and it was greatly admired by visitors to the Live Stock show.
