OMARA VISITS NEW ARMOUR OFFICES of Find That Surroundings Packing Plant Can Be as Attractive as Other THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, LAW HITTING ALLIES |JAPAN FRIENDLY STRIKES AMERICANS One Provision of Revenue Bill Regarded as Opposed to Public Interests, Institutions, EFFORT TQ REPEAL OLAUSE PUBLIC RECEPTION HELD Washington, Oct. 26.—Investigation By A. R. GROH. was started today by the Treasury *Running a’ packing house means more than merely killing cattle and hogs and sheep. A packing house can be made just as attractive as any other kind of business. So spoke R. C. Howe, manager of Armour & Co., at the opening of the spleftdiferous new general office building, yesterday at Thirtieth and Q streets, South Side. ! The word “splendiferous” is coined for the occasion because no word in Noah Webster's useful volume seems to be strong enough to tell just how ‘lovely those new Armour offices are, with their rest rooms and sun parlors for the feminine em- ployes, their smoking rooms and bar- ber shop for the men ,their cafeteria and roof garden for all. «The whole Armour office force was s happy reception committee yester- day from 1 to 5 p. m. The new Abuilding was open for the public to see. There was ar orchestra’ dispen- sing sweet masic. * There were bas- kets of flowers on many deks, sent by firms and individuals. Refresh- ments were served in the cafeteria. This beautiful building is the ma- terialization of ager Howe's and Mr. Armour's ideas.. West Q street, 88 you know, is not the most beauti- ful part of the city. But Messrs. Armour and Howe said: i .. “We will erect a beautiful building here that will be a delight to the eye and a pleasure to our employes.” They have done that \The finer or more complete o anywhere, nor one that prov. more for the comfort of those who work It stands in the midst of four acres of ground, on a high site from which the vast stock yards and a large part of the city are visible. 1t is four stories high, built of steel and concrete with facing of ‘“ox blood” brick (appropriate color, eh?) and gs of blue Bedford stone. unds nd it are parked. __ There are sloping lawns and winding and walks.

On this floor are also the telephone exchanges and private telegraph office with direct wires to all important points in the country. The girls' rest rooms are on the _ mext floor above. Here is also the ll:v:lrloé‘ the western side. % en these rooms were ready for finishing, Manager Howe toldy the _ girls to go out and select the furni- they wanted and send thabill to e company.

But, no!l \ To Have Roof Garden. “The roof is: flat," said Mr. Howe, “and we're going to put a roof gar- den up there next summer.” The building is finished throughout this is | vember 4 as promised by the repub- 01 Gigh said to be| ¢ department to determine what kinds of raw' material imported from the British empire should be subjected to thrice the regular customs duties in accordance with the recently-passed legislation penalizing the importation of goods under restrictions upon im- porters. Publication tocay of results of an investigation at the State depart- ment, showing that Great Britain has built up a series of contracts to which importers of many of its'raw. mate~ rials must submit created great sur- prise in both Treasury and other offi- cial circles, not only because of the extent of the allied domination of American trade revealed but because attention was called to the applica- bility of paragraph 802 of the revenue bill, which appareritly has escaped notice, " Treasury officials indicated that the legislation would be applicable at once. The provisions, they said, are mandatory, and not discretionary, as are the other retaliatory measures, . In many cases the effect of enfore- ing the triple duty would be serious, Ground mica, for instance, which al- ready finye a duty of 15 per cent, would have to pay a duty of 45 per cent, Cut mica, which now pays 30 per cent, would have to meet the pro- hibitive figure of 90 per cent. Diamonds offer perhaps the most serious situation, as not only those from Great Britain, but thoSe {rom all over the world would be pgnalized because of the special diamond agree.’ ment required to secure British dia- monds, This agreement pfovides: “We further undertake in*the event of our importing any diamonds from Holland and other countries than Great Britain that we will have the same consigned to the British consul general in New York to be released under similar conditions,” Taft Dates at Aurora / And Fremont Canceled Aurora, Neb, Oct. 27.—(Special.)— Ex-President William 'H.

CHINA NEEDS RAILROADS St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 27.—The lead- ing men of Japan are anxious for per- manent, peaceable and friendly rela- tions with the United States, Elbert H. Gary, president of the American Iron and Steel institute, declared here today in an address at the semi-an- nual meeting of the organization. Mr. Gary's talk was given in response to a request from the institute’s directors that he discuss his summer trip to the orient, where he visited the Philip- pines, China and Japan. “For some time there have been suggestions,” he said, “in publig and in private in the United States, and in Japan as well, that for numerous reasons, not necessary io recall, there was a possibility, if not likelihood, of actual hostility between fhe two countries, Whenever either govern- ment has decided to provide an addi- tional warship someoné in the other country has been prompt in charging that this meant preparation for war between these two nations. People Do Not Want War. “I said repeatedly on my own re- sponsibility, making fo claim except that I believed that I could (accu- rately reerem public lentimené, that a ‘AUC majority of the people of the United States did not desire, but would deplore and stubbornly oppose war with Japan, except in self-de- fense, and that é\ey were of the opin- jon there is not now, and never will be, any cause for serious trouble or disagreement; that there need be no conflict of opinion le’llch could not be finally and satisfactorily settled by mutual negotiation and consideration. I also expressed the belief thn our governmental administration is, and would be, inclined toward this most desirable exercise of authority. To all this I am sure this large compln{ of tgepresentative business men will heartily subscribe. I would repeat and emphasize the sentiments thus expressed. Japanest Are Friendly, “And now, gentlemen, | am here to say to you in words just as emphatic and in'a belief no less absolute, that the leading and controlling men of Japan are cqually anxious to have a continuance permarently of the s e — 1 am showing several new\up-to-the- moment styles that will appeal to' you men who crave for something different.

That there may be exceptions may go without saying; 1t would be usual and need excite no surprise nor fear if such is the fact. Still T have no posi- tive information on which to base this conjecture. I had good opportunity to ascertain the real situation, though my visit to Japan was short. “The most influentidl men in Ja- pan are outspoken in their profession of friendship toward the United States.” Mr. Gary said that, basing his opin- ior\upon inquiry and. study, he has contluded that Japan desires that China become “firmly established as a sound, peaceful, prosperous and rich government with free and open sea- ports,” with all outside countries on a just and profitable basis. iscussing conditions in China, he OCTOBER 28, 1916, described the government there as an “honest, unselfish, capable, indus- trious and harmonious organization” which realized that the country has not kept peace with others in the progressive march of nations *and which was seeking a solution of Chi- na's problems. China Needs Railroads. One of the things chiefly needed by China now, Mr. Cary declared, is first-class railroads and in this con- nection he said it was to be earnestly ihoped ~ that American capitalists would participate in further loans which would permit rapid extension of ‘railway lines. Mr. Gary believed that China was desirous of maintain- ing cordial relations with American business concerns and that it “wishes the open door policy to prevail.” “Here,” he said, “is a great field for operation on the part of American busineds men which can be cultivated without injury or objection on the part of other nations and with decided benefit to~China itself. I could wish that in some respects the conditions in the United States which now ex- ist resulting, I think, from political | A agitation might be modified.” It would be a grave msitake, the speaker declared, for the United States to give up the Philippines. Discussing,business conditions, Mr. Gary urged exercise of caution and preparedness for any "unfavorable changes.” He said he believed if the present ‘‘unprotective tariff laws” re- mained unchanged there would be competition from foreign sources after the war which ‘would “adverse- ly and perhaps disastrously affect {)\mglrlc:n industry and American la- or.
