THE WAGE GARNER 3
-.
IN


system of taking rest OF a quarter of
an hour every two hours has evolved
from lack of strength to perform con-
tlnuous labor, and insubordinatiOn fol-
lows when labOrers are forced by their
Overseers to perform continuous work,
as that required OF machine operatives.
The cheap labor" can not be controlled,
a feature the Japanese never dreamed Of,
or, at least they did not proclaim it, and
1t is one Of the leading causes affecting
the establishment Of new enterprises.
It Is noted that during the past year
there have been no fewer than thirty
eight strikes in different parts of the
country, and In these strikes have been
represented all classes of labor from the
cargo coolies to the servants in the
"hOme department" The capitalist in
Japan, as a rule, is a man of small means
who wants a prodigious return for his
money The leaders Of public opinion in
Japan are deyOting attention to the pres
ent attitude of capital and labor. Bills
are to be introduced limiting the hours
of labor for factory hands under fifteen
years of age and requiring sanitary in
spection of the mills and living apart
ments furnished to mill operatives, as
the health of mill operatives Is found to
be suffering.
In a recent letter to the Railway Con.
ductor, Fustaro Takano, Of Toxic, Japan,
outlines this proposed legislation as fol-
lows:
(D Prohibition Of child labor under
10 years. (2) Limitation Of working
hours to ten for children under fifteen
years. (3) Prohibition of night work
for children under fifteen years. (D
Limitation of working hours for adults
at twelve except under special agree
ment. 90 Prohibition of employment Of
women and children under Is years for
work detrimental to their health; the
works to be thus subjected shall be de-
termined by the Minister of State for
Agriculture and Commerce. (6) Safety
provisions for dangerous machinery. (O
Liability Of employer in case Of acci-
dent, fatal or otherwise, of employe in
discharging his duty. (S) Issue Of GER
tihcate to each operative by municipal
authorities, the same to be deposited
with the employer while the holder of
the certificate Is working for him, and
the employer, on the other hand, is re-
Quired to hire none but certificate hold
ers (9) Inspection OF factory construc-
tiOn by the authorities. qO) Creation Of
factory inspectorship CID Factories tc
be subjected to the proposed act are
those employing over fifty workingmen
women, and children.
The certificate plant is intended to
prevent one factory from entlcing skilled
workmen from another, the demand for
such being greater than the supply. Mr.
TakanO objects to 1t because 1t interferes
with the free movement of labor and
freedom to strike.

Japan's Labor Situation.

A correspondent of American Trade,
writing from Kobe, Japan, says:
Factories are experiencing more diff
Guilty in obtaining labor which can be
educated to do their work, and the de-
inand for factory hands is constantly in
creasing. OF the number taken on hand
many fail to meet the requirements, and
new ones are constantly being taken,
with the effect that the factories never
have complement OF skilled operatives.
H would seem that the Japanese have
mot the physical strength to perform
continuous labor; the old-established
