INDUSTRIES ARE REvIvING.
Workers of All Kinds Are Reported
in Great Demand.

Business throughout the United
States. both commercial and indus
trial, is reviving. according to Ter
ence V. Powderly, chief of the divi-
sion Of information, bureau of immi-
grafton. The division of information
was created by Congress as all agency
to divert immigration from the larger
cities, and find places for the unem-
ployed alien. The functions of the
division have been enlarged, inasmuch
as Chief POwderly is endeavoring to
provide work for Americans as well
as aliens.
From July / last until early in Oc-
tober 100000 requests were made upon
Chief Powderly to supply various
forms of labor for factory, railroad,
farm and industrial enterprises of all
descriptions. About the middle of
October. when the financial disturb
ances became acute, many of these
applications were Cancelled, CORE
spondents stating that instead of need
ing labor they were putting off men,
and that everything pointed to Il pro-
longed period of depression.
Recently there has been renewal
of the demand for labor. Chief Pow
Derby says that this demand comes
from every section of the country !;
that it calls for mechanics. mill oper-
atives, factory hands, railroad buillers,
and farm laborers. From the agricul-
tural States have come notice that in
the spring hundreds of thousands Of
farm hands will be needed, and that
every effort should be made by the gov
eminent at this time to see to it that
an adequate supply Of labor is provided
i'm the regions where it will be urgently
required.
IAN investigation has developed
said Mr.. Powderly, that. while the
unusually large exodus Of foreigners
during the past few months was the di-
rect result of disturbed financial con-
ditions, it was not due to the closing
OF mills or factories or cessation in the
progress of public works. The great
majority of those who returned to Eu-
rope were not turned out of employ
ment. They were alarmed by the out
look and decided to go back. The tide
will begin to turn early in the spring,
and l have no doubt that the increas-
ing demand for labor that our reports
indicate is at hand will be fully met
by the SUPPLY in this country amplified
by an enlarged immigration"

TWO QUIT JAPANESE CABINET.
Increase in Tax Budget Causes Divi-
sion in Emperor's Advisors.

The resignation of the entire japanese
cabinet was narrowly averted Tuesday.
The premier Marquis Saionji rendered
his resignation to the Emperor, but his
majesty declined to receive it, while the
alternative designations of Yoshiro Saka-
tani, minister of finance, and of lsaburo
Iamagata, minister of communications,
were accepted. Masahisa Matsura, min
lister of justice, will combine the portfolio
of finance, and Keihara, minister of the
interior, will combine that of the minis
ter of communication This leaves the
cabinet without any new elements and
removes the disputants who have been the
disturbing factors for some time past.
The cabinet council gave rise to some
heated debates. Yamagata insisted upon
the designations of Sakatani, who is re-
sponsible for the budget which will be
introduced in the diet, and who is blamed
by the cabinet ministers and the public
because in 1907 he promised that there
would be no increase made in the taxa
ton nor would there be any resort to
foreign loans in 1908. An investigation
of the situation convinced the cabinet
officers and elder statesmen that an in
crease in the taxation or in lieu thereof
foreign loan would be unavoidable.

GET DYE FROM GALL STONES.
Large Purchases of Japanese from

and they are continually experimenting.
He believes they have discovered a new
green dye. which is being kept a secret.
Dr.. w. VI. Y. Coplin of the Jefferson
hospital said gall stones had no medicinal
value. and that the japanese use the gall
stones for the greenish-yellow pigment. a
peculiar shade loved by that people. He
said no American chemist had ever dis
covered the method of mixing this pig

secret in securing it from the gall stones.
