ST.MARK RECTOR

Rev. Ernest Vincent shaler, rec
or Of st. Marks Episcopal church,
n his sermon Sunday on "a Morn
ing In Juvenile Court" came to
he same conclusion that The Star
reached in its series OF articles on
immortality IN the Seattle public
schools--that the blame cannot
Justly be laid at the door OF the
school authorities. and that the
parents are at fault II their chill

eloquent testimonials TO parental
neglect. The price paid for this
neglect will ultimately result 10 the

authorities for having failed to

would provide greater safety for ships and less danger

built IN less time for less money.
On unc %. 1000 congress authorized the construction
OF the lock type Of canal accordance with the general
plans OF the minority OF the board and the work carried
on along these lines.
Since then the wisdom of the choice has been clearly
shown and there is doubt the ultimate success OF
the project
Developments in the form OF slides have brought
prominently the front the excellence OF the
judgment which accepted the minority plan in lieu
OF the level plan AZ advocated by the majority
and show clearly the greater difficulties that
would have been encountered in attempt to con-

An English scientist. who al first skepucal as 10

opinion Of the consulting engineers with reference to the
dam. namely that such and doubtful experiment
should be INDUCED in applicable TO Cuebra Gut
There are probably who still believe
wrong choice made but visit TO the Isthmus is
sure cure for such provided always that they
open to conviction.

JAPS DO NOT PERMIT
FOREIGNERS TO OWN LAND

Toxic. April Viscount Chinda,
japanese ambassador to the United
States, was instructed today hy the
foreign office to make formal repre-
scntations at Washington in regard
to the anti-Japanese legislation of the
state of California.
Irritation over the California land
legislation is Increasing throughout
the country All the political parties
have sent deputations to the premier
and to the foreign minister to pre-
serve Japanese treaty rights in Amer
ica
The constitutional party has pros
posed an anti-California boycott ana
the chambers Of commerce have tele-
graphed to similar bodies In san
Francisco and Los Angeles and else
whore asserting that the result of
the legislation viii be destructive TO
trade between the United States and
Japan.
The newspapers here contend that
the proposed California legislation is
as much a breach of treaty as the
Panama canal bill The foreign press
retorts that it is an object lesson for
Japan i'm reciprocity, since foreigners
are not allowed to own land in Japan
in spite Of the law passed in 1910,
which has never been promulgated.

workers, labor seven days a week, an
Investigation of the bureau OF labor
diseloses. Commissioner Neill today
made public the third volume OF the
bureaus Investigation dealing with
working conditions and the relations
of employers and workmcn
The report states that since 1910.
when the main Investigation was
made and when the normal working
day for the majority of steel workers
was twelve hours long with practically
80 per cent of the entire fore fegu-
LARRY working seven days per week,
number Of steel companies have put
into effect various plans hy which
none of their employees are required
or permitted to work more than six
days week Between 90 and 90 per
cent Of the employees formerly work.
ing seven days per week have been
affected by these arrangements hut
% per cent still work every day IN
the week.
Extensive interviews With the work
men brought out the fact that IN their
opinion the aiX-day arrangements
have not secured to them advantages
commensurate with the loss Of days
pay oaeh week The day OF enforced
rest does not give them a holiday
either on sunday or on any other day
ON which their fellow Workmen gem
ernlly are also at leisure. on any day
except sunday. the workmen say there
IS nothing TO do, except TO sleep all
day or TO go Go saloons.
The proportion of men working
twelve hours day has been practic-
ally unchanged except for two plants
which have introduced the eight-hour
system. careful estimates Of the max
imum cost OF substituting the eight
hour day with 90 per cent Increase
in hourly rates. SO as TO give the same
daily earnings show that even II
there were no increase in efficiency
the cost of pig iron would be only 2.6
per cent creator or 45 cents per ton.
I'm finished products the cost would he
only per cent greater or between
$l.1O and 81 per ton
The report concludes that system
of three shifts Of eight hours each rs
the only practicable substitute for the
existing schedule OF two shifts OF
twelve hours Numerous advantages Of
the eight hour system are pointed out
and It is further shown that of the
steel plants which have recently
adopted the eight-hour day one had
no increase in its cost OF production,
while us result OF increased efficien-
cV the cost Of the others products
was actually less with the eight-hour
