THE LABEL.
That Belts the Globe More
than 10000 Miles Of
Labels Used in 1906.

The quantity Of labels purchased by
the Anheuser- Busch Brewing associa-
tion from the United States Printing
company, of Cincinnati, o.. during
tine year 1906 reached the enormous
total of 454, 9s0,O00. The paper neces-
sary to print this immense lot weighed
81, 7SS pounds, or over 367 tons.
The ordinary observer little realizes
while drinking his bottle of beer and
toying with the Budweiser" label that
If all the Budweiser' labels used by
the Anheuser Busch Brewing associa-
ton during 1906 were placed end to end
they would reach distance Of %, 912
72-100 miles. As matter of fact, if
all the labels printed by the United
States Printing company for the
Anheuser- Busch Brewing association
during 1906 were palced end to end they
would go entirely around the globe 'ani
then some, for they would cover a
distance of %, ,933 71-10O miles. or if
they were laid down fiat, one on top of
another and piled in one stack, they
would make the New York and Chicago
skyscrapers look like mole hills, for
they would tower up distance Of 23
66-100 miles, and. mind you, this does
not cover the stock labels used by the
Anheuser- Busch branches or their
authorized bottlers
These curious and interesting de-
ductions illustrate the gigantic proper
tions of the label supplies for this
brewery.
The reader will best realize the mag
nitude of this volume Of printing by
stopping to figure out what 1T means
to print such an immense lot of paper.
AS most of these labels are printed
in several colors (the Budweiser"
label containing four separate print
ings) it is equal to total Of almost
1S, 600, 900 large sized sheets Of paper
enough to keep one large cylinder press
running constantly %, 100 hours, or al.
most nine years, figuring on working
day of eight hours, 800 working days to
the year.
The printing Of all these labels gives
employment to about 500 people in the
printing trades alone, besides press
men, electrotypers, compositors, paper
makers, etc The benefits extend in
many directions, such as ink and color
manufacturer, machinists who make
and lair the machinery for producing
the paper, inks and and presses lum
bernen who make and supply wood
pulp which goes into the manufacture
of paper; trainmen draymen, etc,
who asst 1t in transporting the labels or
material out of which they are made
from one place to another.
1t would be difficult and we'll nigh
impossible to say exactly how many
people are employed one way or an
other in manufacturing all these labels
for the Anheuser- Busch Brewing asso-
citation.

NO AGGRESSIVE INTENTIONS.
Foreign Minister Hayashi's Statement
to the Toxic Diet.

SAN FRANCISCO March 27-Mail ad-
vices from Toxic state that Viscount Haya-
shi, foreign minister of Japan, in a speech
before the Japanese diet. in answer to ques-
tons of members regarding the govern
ment's attitude concerning the refusal of
the San Francisco authorities to admit Jap
anese to the public schools. said
THE American government, which
throughout had shown profound sympathy
with the japanese nation, sent us a tele-
graphic expression of its regret at the &C.
currence before our protest had reached
Washington. We considered that our
proper course was to stand on one side and
patiently await the development of af-
fairs.
in regard to the foreign suspicion of
aggressive intentions on the part of Japan,
these ideas can only be attributed to great
ignorance of the conditions in this country.
The military and naval proposals in the
budget are of kind merely to restore and
reorganize the national forces, just as
every other nation is doing. On behalf not
only of the government. but also Of the
nation, beg to declare that Japan has no
aggressive intentions whatever. AS far as
commerce is concerned. our policy may or
may not be considered aggressive. We
intend to push our interests to the front.
We have the right possessed by all coun-
tries to peacefully compete with other ma
lions. but we intend to firmly adhere to the
principles of equal opportunity and the
open door. in which we have the fullest
belief"

BETTER PRICES TODAY
STOCK MARKET SHOWED AN
OTHER UPWARD MOVEMENT.

NEW YORK, March 27.-The stock mar
ket showed another buoyant upshoot in

alarmed over yesterdays upturn of prices
and the more confident speculative senti-
ment manifest in all securities markets
today They bought heavily and advanced
their bids rapidly to secure stocks against
contracts of sales made while the course
of the market seemed to promise an indef-
mite further decline.
The rapid advance brought out stocks
from yesterdays buyers to take profits, and
there was sharp and almost immediate
reaction. First gains in American Smelling

EXCLUSION OF JAPANESE.
Regulations Issued by the Secreta1y
of Commerce and Labor.

Regulations governing the entry of Japa-
nese and Koreans into the United States
have been issued by the Secretary Of Com
merce and Labor in accordance with the
executive order OF March IA. The regula-
lions cover precisely the same ground as
the executive order, but merely prescribe
the method of enforcing the law. They
direct all the immigration officers to exer-
cise the greatest courtesy and tact In en-
forcing the regulations, but warn them
against any favoritism or discrimination.
Briefly, the regulations provide that a
Japanese or Korean possessing a pass
port for admission to Mexico, Hawaii or
Canada shall be refused admission to the
mainland of the United States II the APP
plicant has passport at all 1t shall be
presumed that his passport was for one of
the prohibited countries. If, however. he
does not fall within the prohibited class
a skilled or unskilled laborer, he shall have
the privilege Of proving his right to admis-
sion II any Japanese or Korean is re-
fused admission to the United States In
virtue of the executive order of March IA
he shall have the right of appeal to the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor the same
as any other alien denied admission. If he
is found in the United States without hav-
ing been regularly admitted, and 1t shall,
be proved that he came In surreptitiously
subsequent to March IL, he shall be de-
ported.

Protection Against Unwarranted De-

BUTTE, Mont, March 27.-With the ex-
ception of the Stereotypers Union, every
labor organization connected with the news
papers here has signed, or expressed a
willingness to sign, a contract which had
been prepared by the publishers. 1t now
appears that the stereotypers demand that
increased wages. voluntarily paid by the
publishers to the more skilled men, be
adopted as the regular scale. The publish
ers refuse to pay these wages under forced
action.

Unpleasant to Germany.
The reopening of the Moroccan question
would be unpleasant to Germany, and there
is no disposition to take unnecessary
offense at Frances action, on which the
most favorable Interpretation is placed, yet
1t is considered impossible that Germany

against the Moroccan government or terri
tory not strictly in accord with the inter-
national judgments reached at AIgeciras.
France. In the official view, will doubtless
carefully avoid going outside of the terms
of the Algeciras convention, but already the
newspapers here are filled with statements
showing suspicion of the French intentions,
so that the public mind is certainly pre-

cally.
