JAPAN IN NEW SHANTUNG MOVE Bars Fighting at Ports; Strike in Nanking SHANGHAI, May 29.—Notification that Japan would prevent all séa- fighting between northern and south- ern war-lords within twenty miles of various ports in Shantung and Man- churia was given to the Peking and Nanking governments today. Among the ports listed by the Japanese authorities are Tsingtao, Chefoo and Lungkow, large port cities in Shantung as well as Taku and Chinwangtao in the province of Chihli.

The increase becomes efective July 1. This increase, for which the govern: ment employes had fought for a long time, maintaining that the United States was paying them so little that many were unable to feed and clothe their families, will do little to actually better their condition. When distribu- ted among all of the 135,000 workers involved, the actual increase will be but a drop in the bucket compared to what the workers’ need in ord," to live. One class, however, which the bill will benefit, is that composed of the well-salaried -officials, all of whom are granted a rather substantial in- crease, FARMERS MAY MARCH, KANSAS CITY, MO., May 29.— Prospects a, Kansas City as a tented city during the republican convention were seen today following receipt of telegrams and press dispatches indi- ing’ a march on the convention by ers to press demands fora farm si the party. platform. 29. — The full con- ference of the friends of the Soviet danger, | | j ae amanue: Levine Delegates to the huge National Nominating Convention of the Workers (Communist) Party, which.closed in New York City Sunday e The'.Ger: man | 7Or home where they will take up the tasks of the election campaign.
