ad of the Simmons livery stable, which
appears in this issue. Mr.. Simmons is

BucklNe SHORTER woRkpAv

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE
shipbuilding companies and repair
plants situated on the Great Lakes
have apparently combined in their
efforts to smash the eight-hour law
passed by Congress. These shipbuild-
ing companies have thus far refused
to enter into repair contracts with the
Navy Department on account of their
hostility to the shorter workday.
These Lake. plants are operated ON
the ten,hour basis, and although At
torney General Wickersham very
generously" ruled that any company
working on government contract
could use their worhmen on other
work after employing them eight
hours on government Jobs, none Of
the companies desired contract
from the department. The department
has been endeavoring to secure bids
for repair work on a converted yacht,
but has been unable to secure them.
The situation is not considered serious
because the government employs YES
sells on the Lakes only for use in
training naval militia. If these crafts
could not be repaired on the Lake
they can be withdrawn and sent to
other waters where repairs can be
made under an eight-hour day.

China SURPRISING Opium Habit

The establishment of the Chinese
Republic has led many occidentals to
change their opinion as to the lethargy
and inertia which they supposed char
acteristic OF the Inhabitants of the
celestial empire. There is another
story of accomplishment in China.
however, during the past five years.
which makes it even clearer than the
recent revolution that there are I'M.
dreamed of springs of energy in the
chinese people. About five years ago
the Chinese government decided that
opium smoking, which had become the
national vice of China, even to q
greater levtent than alcoholism is OF
the western nations, must stop. and
that within en- years. 1t is scarcely to
be wondered at that when his govern
ment edlct was issued it was greeted
with smiles everywhere five years
have passed and now the world knows
that success in the great national
crusade seems almost assured.
The method that China is pursuing
is interesting. Five years ago China
and Great Britain made what is known
as the ten years agreement" by
which the British government under
took to reduce the amount of opium
sold in Calcutta on government &C
count for export to China by 10 per
cent every year until the traffic had
ceased. On her part China agreed to
diminish her own production in a cor
responding way. Measures were to be
taken to reduce the growth of opium
in China 10 per cent each year until
at the end of ten years no more
would be raised. With supplies from
India cut off and the home crop re-
duced, and eventually suppressed alto
gether, the opium habit must neces-
sarily disappear. The results accom-
plished thus far are promising. Trayel-
ers report that it is no longer common
to see men smoking opium at their
own doors. Even two years after the
edict, those who smoked did so in
secret. The edict is being enforced.
The agricultural map of China shows
after five years that there has been
an actual reduction of so per cent in
the production of opium. There has
been as rgeat a reduction in it's use
ALI the world will watch with interest
this other awakening of China, and
the orientaE method of solving a great
social question, says The Journal of
the American Medical Association. In
the West we have cur social problems
of similar nature and China's ex-
ample may prove illuminating and
helpful.
