JAPAN TAKES CALMLY
REPORT OF MANEUVER
OF ATLANTIC SQUADRON
nv Associated Press.

BY Associated -FreSS.
TOXIC, July denomination of the
report that powerful American battle
ship squadron would be sent to the
Pacific has generally been received with
caImness, though there is some surprise
in certain quarters we'll versed in dip
lomatic nicetieS.
1t is said that the sudden change OF
program in the case of the Japanese
training squadron last January when 1t
was first intended that its voyage
should, include San Francisco and other
Pacific coast cities, was evidently in
Difference to the wishes of the Wash
ington government, made known to the
Toxic authorities in an indirect but un-
mistakable manner. The change or
route was decided upon only couple of
days before the squadron sailed.
1t was thought then that Japan acted
wisely in avoiding course which might
have proved injurious when a strong
anti-Japanese sentiment was prevailing
in San Francisco.
Though officially stated that the dis
patch of the battleships to the Pacific is
not directed toward Japan 1t is felt here
that it is most inopportune when an at
tempt is evidently going on to impair
the traditional friendship between
japan and the United States. Though
the slightest apprehension is not enter
tanned here it is thought 1t would be
better to defer at this moment anything
that would be open to the slightest sus-
picion of provocation, especially when a
portion of the American public is
thought to be oversensitive over the
present state of the relationship of
Japan and the United States, brought
about by prejudice against the Japanese
in section of the latters dominion.

ployes, is exposed to partisan, personal
social or other pressure.
"Even if the reformer in office is
genuine, even if the scheme he has
promises we'll for the working masses,
there arises the question of the dura-
ton of his official powers and those of
his successors with similar aims, to-
gether with the assiduous ttention of
the public to it's own self protection" "
Foreign to American Genius
On examining l-.unicipalization as ex-
hibited in the labor reports, Mr.. Sulli-
van declares it Is seen to be to restrict
men in their activities by methods for
eign to the American genius, while in
practice it has failed to make out the
case of it's advocates as in the last
measure a step forward in promoting
the best interests Of the employees of
the enterprises investigated, or of the
occupations most closely interviewer
with them, or of the nations broaden
ing masses.
Mr.. Sullivan in his report says:
my colleague and myself in closing
our joint inquiry as to wages and con-
ditlons in the British gas undertakings
visited, agree in saying:
Summarizing what precedes, with
the exception of the twelve-hour sta
tions of the South Metropolitan COM
pany, and taking into account the gen.
eral level of wages in the several To-
caIities, it cannot be said that there is
any material difference between the
public and private undertakings in the
wages of stokers or in the average
wages of the shift-workers in the retort
1iffarnnnnc
not show a prevalence one way or the
other, but they tend to follow pretty
closely the general level OF wages in the
locality, irrespective of whether the
undertaking is managed by a NUM-
cipality or by a private company. The
case of the twelve-hour shifts of the
South Metropolitan company is peculiar
and requires the discussion of another
aspect of the questionable amount of
work done by the stokers.'
Relative to the electricity undertake
ings. the investigation Sums up:
Tt has been found impossible to
make a satisfactory comparison of the
wages paid in electrical undertakings,
on account of the wide differences in
machinery equipment, character of the
work, size of station, range of wages
and names of occupations. The subdi-
visions of labor varies greatly from
place to place, and large establish
ment with a minute subdivision of spe-
cialized workers may have extremely
high wages for few and extremely
low for others. although the names Of
the occupations may be the same as
those where the work is less subdi-
vided. A careful examination of differ
ent payrolls and different stations,
however, leads to the conclusion that,
as in the gas undertakings, there is no
predominating tendency one way or the
other, and the differences depend main
ly upon the differences in the general
level of the wages of the locality"

The gypsy chief says that Elias owns
real estate in st. Louis from which
he derives a revenue, but he has not

Speaks of Him as Girl
After visiting several gypsy bands
that make their rendezvous in st. Louis,
Warshaw found that Persia still is
compelled to masquerade as a girl. But
the youths plight as described by the
gypsies causes him to raise his open
palms in horror and Indignation. Per-
sia told some of the St. Louis Ro-
manys that he wanted to go back to his
foster father, but was held prisoner.
"She have no shoe. no stocking, moth
ing but a red dress" Warshaw ex-
claimed, persisting in alluding to Persia
as a girl. "She starve, maybe. That
Eli, he kill my girl before 1 get her.
Anyone tell her by the money in her
hair. No American gypsy wear money
in hair. That Servian gypsy way. No
woman gyp with Eli or Joe Adams

two women. Eli has wife and two chill.
She got away from Eli. When 1 get
him. American law will make him give
me Persia. 1 love Persia like father.
He got no use for Persia. She no wife,"
With unconscious dramatic effect.
Warshaw raised his eyes to the sky
and lifting his brawny arms, let them
drop helplessly to his sides.
