Notice Served in Japan.
Japan's mechanics, who have a remark.
able genius for imitation, are said to be
making buttons, matches and woodenware
for the American market at surprisingly low
prices and reproducing the finest bicycles
for S12 each. The Jap workman can exist
comfortably on 1Oc a day, but he will find
under the next Administration that the
American mechanic will not be expected t6
compete with him on that basis. [St. Louis
