President Li Yuan-Hun- g issued his first mandate shortly after assuming office, appointing as premier Wu Ting. Pang, former minister to the United States, and since 1917 one of the strongest supporters of die Canton governments struggle against what It termed the militarism of the north. It is understood that Dr. Wu Ting-Panhas accepted the premiership. In the meantime President Li has designated Dr. W. W. Yen, former minister under the last premier, Liang Ehih-Y- i, to act as premier until Dr. Wua arrival from Canton. The unification of China is declared In oflcial circles here to have been brought considerably nearer by Wu Ting-Fang- 's acceptance of the premiership. It is asserted that Dr. Sun Yat-Sepresident of the republic of South China, In whose structure Wu has been a consistent pillar of strength, will be unable much longer to maintain separate government. Proponents of the reunited China program count on Wu to swing many i of Suns suportera to the new Peking ; government, which already has 'the hacking of a liirge bloc of the revived republican parliament, as well as that of Geranal Wu Pei-Pf- t, conqueror and the outstandof Chang Tso-Liing military figure of the country.

At that time he resigned the premiership to throw the weight of his support into the struggle of the southwestern provinces against the militarists of the north. He consistently has backed the Canton governments battle for the restoration of the republican parliment, a program which is one of President most prominent ad. Li Yuang-Hunministrative planks. It is reported here that President JA obtained Dr. Wus acceptance of the premiership before leaving Tien Tsin, Lis return to the presidency was chief of Chinas nought by Wu Pel-Fmilitary men, as well ns by the revivt republican parliament, but the elderly Chinese statesman declared himself reluctant to leave his retirement to reenter the turbid political seas at Peking. On being importuned he said he would undertake the responsibility if all the tuchuns and high inspecting commissioners would resign immediately, accompaylng him to Peking to confer on the welfare of China. It was the tuchun, or military governor, system that brought about the downfall of Lis presidency in 1917. I am willing to sacrifice myself, but if 'this program be not adopted, the extinction 6f the nation is before our eyes. It is my inclination to stay until death in Tien Tsin, m.v home.

The new wage reduction brought an estimated added saving of $59,669,347 annually to the railroads, following on the heels of a $50,000,000 cut in the wages of maintenance of way laborers last week. The shop crafts decision becomes effective July .1, the same date as last weeks order. The tendency of the decision is to vindicate the propaganda of the railroads and consequently condemn such statements as the employees have been able to bring to public attention, the minority opinion said. It was signed by Albert O. Wharton, W. L. Mcilenl-meand Albert Phillips, the three labor representatives . The reduction for mechanics averaged a little more than 8 per cent, all machlnsts, boilermakers, blacksmiths, sheet metal workers, electrical workers, carmen (except freight car men) moulders, cupola tenders and coremakers and the regular and helper apprentices receiving a cut of 7 cents an hour. Freight car men, commonly known as cat knockers- - and the ob' ject of some of the heaviest assaults by the roads in their battle for lower wages, were cut 9 cents. The larger cut was ordered for the car knockers because the board said it believed that their work did not require the same skilled service as other branches of carmens work. This heavier reduction for the freight car men came under especially severe criticism in the minority report, the labor members declaring there was no justification for discrimination in car work. Car cleaners, who now receive an average of $3.19 a day, were cut 5 cents an hour, or 40 cents a day. The mechanics whose daily rate now averages from $6.11 for electrical worn-er- s to $6.28 for blacksmiths, will lose 56 cents a day under the new decision, bringing their daily wage to approximately $5.70. ' The boards latest decision which is to be followed shortely by reduction for railway clerks, telegraphers and all other classes of railway employees execept the train service men, was brief and offered no explanation of how the new rates were arrived at. This dismission brought more fire fro- -j the dissenters who declared the majority decision did not consider human needs, ignored-thpleas for a living wage and made "no attempt to show that mechanics are not entitled to such a standard. n n, From All Part of STRONG PROTEST BY LABOR REP.

Estimates of the above ground supply now on hand were fixed by dead, ers here at about 40,000,600 tons, ef which 10,000,000 are in transit.
