Tokio, Nov. 20.-A lengthy state-
ment was issued today by the depart-,
ment of communications, announcing
that negotiations between this country
and the United States in regard to the
embargo on steel have been broken
off. Japan had been seeking to have
the embargo on steel raised to a cer-
tain extent in her favor, but the two
countries could not come to any satis-=
factiry agreement.
The negotiations began last sum-
Amer, when the United States put an
embargo on all steel shipments ex-
cept where the steel was to be used
for the Allies' benefit. Japan just,
,placed a large order in this country
and protested. America replied that
4f the Japan1ese would divert their
ships to trans-Atlantic service, they
could have free steel.
This demand would destroy Japan's
European trade, the statement de-
glares, while another alternative of-
fered was not adequate. This alter-
native was a proposal by the United
States to purchase outright whatever
ship tonnage the Japanese were wil-
ling to spare. The price offered was
$175 a ton. This is the price fixed
by the shipping board for American
tonnage.
Ships on the open market are sell-
ing for as high as $300 a ton, and it
was not a surprise to officials that
Japan considered' America's offer too
low. However, there was little doubt'
expressed that the two governments
would come to some agreement.
TO SAFEGUARD ALL
MUNITION WORKERS
New Orleans, Nov. 20. - The ship
timber needed by the United States
government at the present time must,
comne from the South, and the southern
pine association has started a. south-
wide educational and patriotic cam-
paign for the purpose of arousing the
southern lumber industries to their
z esponsibility.
A number of speakers have been ob-
tained who will visit every,town and
hamlet in the South and urge the
workers to put forth every effort to
furnish the enormous quantities need-
ed. They will be told that the fate of
the nation depends upon ships and that
ships depend upon southern lumber.
Circulars are being sent out with
the following inscription:
Mr. Lumberman: Our allies are
fighting our battles abroad. Unless
their soldiers are fed and supplied,
America will have to fight alone. They
not get supplies without ships and
cannot get supplies without the ships
and ships cannot be built without tim-
ber. It's up to the South.

Washington, Nov. 20.-Workers ir
arsenals and factories engaged in
government work must be surrounded
with the most perfect safeguards, ac-
cording to a general order recentlyd
made public by -the chief of ordnancet
to arsenal commanders and manufact-
urers.
Efficient operation of places where
government work is carried on, it is
claimed, demands that the workers
not only be protected with the ordin-
arj safeguards, but that their hours,
wes and working conditions be sat-
isfactorily adjusted. Consequently, a
list of suggestions for arsenal com-
manders and manufacturers has been
issued by the quartermaster general.
Among the suggestions as to hours
of labor are the following: That the
working day should not 1e longer than
10 hours for an adult workman; that
'he working period on Saturday should
not exceed five hours; and that one
day of rest is seven should be a uni-
versal and invariable rule. As to wage
standards, it is suggested that those'
already established in the industry
and in the locality should not be low-
ered. The minimum wage rates should
be made in proper relation to the
cost of living, and in fixing them, it
should be taken into consideration that
the prices of necessities of life have
shown great increases.
According to the standards suggest-
ed for the employment of minors, no
child under 14 years of age shall be
employed at any work under an'y :- n-
ditions; no child between the ages of
14 and 16 years shall be employed
more than eight hours daily or 48
hours a week, and night . work is
prohibited..
