JAPAN’S DELAY IRRITATES ALL OTHER POWERS Question of Meeting Expenses of Arms Conference Raised by France. DELEGATIONS RESTIVE WASHINGTON, J:ln. 21.—With some of its feclti extracted the resolution providing for p, listing of all existing secret treaties and commitments of the various nations of the world regarding China, was adopted by the Far Eastern committee af the arms conference today. As ii now stands, the resolution exempts the listing ot' private Chinese commitments, granting trade and other advantages. __ The conference •agreedto list nil international agreements. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—The Japanese policy of delay in the arms confoceneeig beginning the irritate othetudelegafions us Veil as the States Senate. A review of ibe conference status reveals that at every turn the Japanese are holding up decisions''and .the lack of progress, particularly this week, is beginning to chafe the othpr powers. Japanese Joint financial and operative control of the Sliailtung Railway is blocking a settlement of this issue. This led to tile breaking out of the tirst real debate on conference Issues. WISH TWO ISLAND - f.ROI i’S EXEMPTED. Japanese insistence that the 80n..1n and Oshima Island groups* be excunitedfrom the fortifications provisions or the ne.w treaty .s preventing final acceptance of this all important document. In the Far l-*st committee proper, Japanese objection to filing with the conference the list of treaties and agreements on Chinese matter! so far has prevented the adoption of the “cards qn the table” resolution umdVr which all the powers, except Japan, agreed to make known tkeir Chinese commitments. The committee tackled this Job again today, with hopes that ,%ipan would withdraw her opposition. The cost .of the conference is beginning to trouble some of the delegations. It was said the question of who is to bear the expense of the Washington meeting and of the future conferences which have been agreed upon, was recently brought up by the French in a committee meeting. FRENCH RAISE QUESTION OF MEETING EXPENSE. The French inquired how the expenses were to be met. They were informed that while there had been nd definite agreement on ,this point, the prevailing idea was that each delegation should bear a fair share of the cost. The French then put forward a tentative suggestion that if such was to be the ease, the a inbunts expended should be “deducted from the war debt" In other words, the United States would hear the entire cost of this and future meetings. / There was no :•apport to this suggestion and the matter was .allowed to drop. It caused considerable quiet comment, however. The Increasing restlvene.s# of the for eign delegations, reflected In a desire to , wind up the conference and g> t home, j led to predictions today by American | delegates that the conference would end j in two weeks. Today the Far East committee again tackled Chinese problems while the draft fug committee met again to whip into treaty form the agreements already ! reached.

EIGHT STATES FIGHT CEMENT MANUFACTURER Highway Departments Announce Boycott to Lower Cost. HOLD UP CONTRACTS CHICAGO. Jan. 21.—High-wKy* departments of eight States in the Mississippi Valley today declared war cemept manufacturers. Illinois, lowa, Knnsas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, South Dakota nud Wlsy eonsin will not buy any more cement > for road construction until the price ’ lowered. Representatives of these Slates n.et here and pledged themselves to a “gentletncu’s agreement” to this effect. Indiana and Ohio departments were invited, but no representatives were present. The agreement has been scut to these two States. The acticon taken here will tie up proposed highway construction of more j than $200,000,000 In the Mississippi Val- j ley! Contract* now ready to be let totaling more than $100,000,000 are being held up. State-owned cement mills to sppply the needs of the StafeN is being urged and Illinois already has tnkep the construction of such a mill. “Illinois will go ahead immediately upon the construction of a State mill,” C. It. Miller, director of public works and buildings, announced. “No location lias been secured, but there is $5,000,000 avail- , abl for such a mill." “The fight against the cement tnanu- | faoturers will effecL all construction in lh Middle West,” Alexander Gr.'Uain. Jefferson City, Mo., president of the Mississippi Valley conference of State highway departments, aaid. "It does not alone affect road construction,' but will affect all building. We think there ought to be at least a 10 per cent reduction in the "cost of cement. An average of $1.35 mill net a barrel would be a fair price, we believe.” The State representatives charged cement manufacturers in submitting prices for 1922. failed to measure the decrease in commodity prices. In that no reduction was made in 1922 from the prices prevail lng for the last four months of 1921. The price for 1922, it was pointed out.

DECLARES CITY ' SHOULDN’T HIRE OUTSIDE HELP Groninger, However, Do£s Not Advtse Holding Back Checks. Corporation Counsel Taylor E. Groninger today joined City Controller Joseph L. Hogue in tlie opinion that as a matter “of public policy no person residing outside of Indianapolis, other than expert consultants, should be on the city pay rolls. Mr. Groninger expressed this sentiment in a letter rejdying to a request of Mr. Hogue for an opinion as to whether of not f the controller legally can withhold the pay checks of employes not residents of IndiamipoUs. Mr. Groninger said he does not belFwe the controller legally can pursue sm-li a course, but he beli ves department heads should make it a practice not to i niplhy nonresidents. Mr. Croning’er's letter was as follovjs: *”ln reply to your inquiry in Regard *to -perso9s who are on the city’s pay roll who live outside of the city of Indianapolis will say there is no legal residence requirements. except for those elected city offices. “Our State law does provide that the mayor and city oouncilmen be residents of the city sot; a certain period of time before their election. “I find nothing to prevent an employe bom being on the city pay roll and at tlie same tim* live outside the city. However, I dopant to say that it is my opinion department heads who use the taxes levied on property within the city limits should expteud those taxes as much as possible on the people who reside within*'the city limits, and who, in fact, pay these taxes. In other words, other things being equal, the taxes raised/In Indianapolis should be spent on the people who live in Indianapolis and for filings made and ■miwiufuctured within Indianapolis. “Os course, this is a matter of regulation by the department heatfs, ami until such time as they see fit to employ only those who reside within the city of Indianapolis, you should honor tlivir vouchers.” Mr. Hogue said he would Issue the pay checks to nonresidents, tint would write to department heads idrlsing only citizens of Indianapolis be lilted.
