 '.Thct question is a grave one," replied Secretary Cortelyou, especially consider ing the class of immigrants we are now getting. Until within the past hftetn years practically all of our immigrants came from northern and western Europe, and they were intelligent and industri- ous. and they have taken a large part in building tip the country, in mclding our institutions and contributing to our high standard of American citizenship.
 within the past fifteen years much of our immigration has been from southern and eastern Europe, composed of eie- ments by no means so desirable. classes which do not easily assimilate with us, which congregate in cities and communl- ties by themselves, and which may tn some degree constitute an unwholesoMe element of our population. During the past year 6o0000 of this class of immi- grants were landed. constituting almost 70 per cent. of the years immigration. A large percentage of these people do net read or write Tn any language and 1t will be long before they can be made into good American citizens"

ing year in our history. Our exports to Europe were a hundred millions greater than in 1902 and 60 per cent in excess of those of a decade ago. We have increas- ed our exports to different countries of North America 30 per cent, and in South America we sold last year 35 per cent more goods than we did the year before. To Asia and Oceanica our exports have trebeled in the last ten years. and to Afs rica they have become five times as great. Our imports are also increasing, although not so rapidly. Last year we imported more goods than in any preceding year. Indeed. in 1908 the imports amounted to nearly a billion dollars.'
 But increased imports mean money going out of the country. Mir. Cortelyou," said I. That is, money thrown away. ["
 T don't think so,' was the reply. Tt shows that the country is prosperous and that business is good. About one-half of the total imports consists of manufac- turers' materials and large part of the balance ts composed of food stuffs and articles which we do not produce at home Much of the manufacturers ma terlals go abroad again in another shape and these materials last year amounted to $4So.OOO,OO0. which is an increase of al- most 50 per cent over similar imports in 1S9S That indicates the enormous in- crease In our manufacturing industries within the past ten years'~

WAR NAMES.
Pronunciation of Those of Japan
 China and Korea.

Pronunciation of Those of Japan,
 China and Korea. St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 The following key to the pronunciation of Japanese, Chinese and Korean geo. graphical names was prepared by Hajlme Ota, the Japanese Worlds Fair commits sloner: Japanese geographical names are pronounced by Japanese with little ac- cent, as a rule. The vowels are spoken broadIy--"a" as "ah," ''e'' as long "e," "i' as short "e'' 70" generally as "o." but sometimes as ''aw." and ''u'' as "oo." There Is little slnrring of syllables; the divisions are distinct, and as rule both the final letter of a syllable and the first letter of the following one retain their distinct pronunciation.
 This leads Americans frequently to sup pose that another sound has been intro duced between the syllables. Take the name '"rokio," It is pronounced Tokyo" the "o'' in the first syllable and the ''k'' in the second being given such individual pronunciation that when spoken rapidly 1t sounds to the unaccustomed ear much like the ''Toak-kyoh.'
 "F'' is not spoken distinctly when it be- gins the first syllable and is followed by ''u.'' as In Fukuoko. This word Is pro- nounced Foo-kwoo-o-kah." the sound be- ing much as though 1t were "fISwoo-o- kah.'
 Here are some of the Japanese names most frequently met with in the war news:
 Tokio-Toa-kyoh.
 -gah-sah-kee.
 Hakodate-Hak-ko-dah
 Kagoshima--Ka Kah-go-she-mah, a slight accent on last syllable.

We have also had some legislation by the various States as to boycotting. blaeklisting, company stores. women and child labor, which has removed some of the causes of friction between employers and employees. Arbitration boards to which labor controversies may be sub mitted have been provided for by twenty one of the States, but only in few cases have such boards been able to accomplish much in the adjustment of aggravated difficulties. They are chiefly advisory boards, having no power to enforce their decisions.'' i

Yes" replied Secretary Cortelyou. f'The Bureau of Labor has been making an investigation of that subject, and It's estimate is that wages are now on the average about 15 per cent. higher than they were in 1894, 1895 and 1896, and 10 or H' per cent. above, the wages of lss0 when they were higher than at any pre- vious time in our history"

 Uncle Sam as an Arbitrator.
 But, MT. Secretary, the Department gives information to both parties, and 1t is perfectly impartial. Why can it not be an arblter between them?"

Congress, you know, has recognized the principle of industrial arbitration by the act of Oc- tober 1, 1881, under which the great Chi cago strike of 1894 was arbitrated. That act was repealed by the broader act of June l, 1898. Both these acts, however, related only to disputes between employ CTS and employees engaged in interstate commerce

 The Situation Growing Better.
 But, Mir. Secretary, are not such trou- hles increasing?"
 "I think not" was the answer. ''The relations of capital and labor appear to be growing better. A cariety of influences are operating to this end. The National Civic Federation Is bringing about & bet ter understanding between employers and employees in some parts of the country, and much is being done in other ways to obviate industrial disturbance; as for instance, by means of trade agreements. These agreements have been made by employers and employees coming together largely through their representatives, to establish wages. hours of labor and other matters for a fixed period. Such agree ments prevent strikes and lock-outs. and at the present time seem to be one of the strongest forces making for indus trial peace.

UNCLE SAM AS
 AN ARBITRATOR What Secretary Cortelyou Says About Capital and Labor.
 Trade Agreements.

tCopyrtght. 1904. by Frank c. Carpenter.)
 WASHINGTON, D. c.
 What can your Department do to set- tie the existing troubles between labor and capital?''
 I asked this question of Secretary Cor telyou as we sat together in his office in the Department of Commerce and Labcr yesterday afternoon. The Secretary was looking ever reports from his various bd- reaus, and checking off statistical items running high into the millions. He has, you know. about fifteen of the most im- portant bureaus fin the United States Gov ernment, employing more than 10,000 meil. and entailing an annual expenditure of more than $lOc00,000. All the Government Investigations and information about the big corporations and combinations of cap- ftal, as we'll as questions connected with labor. come before him, so that to a cer- tain extent he represents Uncle Sam in all his relations to the two.
 The Secretary replied:
 z '"rhe Department of Commerce. and La- Dor has no executive functions in set ] tling the troubles of capital and labor. It cannot interfere with either party fin any controversy that may arise. All that It aims to do is to furnish the fullest in- Formation possible as to existing condi- tions,' in order that each party may un- derstand more fully just what those con- ditions are, and be guided thereby in ar banging a settlement"
 What kind of information, Mr. Secre- kary?" asked.
 "All kinds" was the reply. Every thing that bears on the relation of labor Do capital. The elements Of cost in vaIi- bus products. the articles controlled by trusts and other combinations of capital, and the effects that such trusts have on prices. We are collecting information as 10 wages and hours of work, the compar- ative cost of living and the kind of llV- Ing in different parts of the United States, the material. social, intellectual ard moral condition of the workmen. as well Is to all matters relating to controvcr- ies and disputes between employers and employees. This information is for capi- alists and for wage earners alike. They
