HALF WAGES
Only Are Paid in Great
Britain COMPARED with
Those Here.
t.x Aasoe,Arsn rasss,

wAsHINGToN,day 13-In a re-
port prepared at the instance of
Chairman Underwood of the House
ways and means committee, the bu-
reau of foreign and domestic com
merce says that a comparison OF
seventeen industries in Great Britain
and the United tSates shows that the
manufacturing establishments in this
country have higher efficiency and
that two and half times as many
wage earners ana one-sixth more pow
or are needed in the United Kingdom
than in the United States TO produce
a net output of equal value. Average
wages in the seventeen industries, the
report adds, were only half as high
in Great Britain as here although the
wage cost to obtain an equal valde OF
net output was nineteen per cent
higher.

been left to their judgment.
Mayor Hunt, who has been instru-
mental in bringing the two isides to-
getheT', explained the company $
plan at the mems meeting
when the vote was taken in the
mass meeting it was found that they
had rejected the proposition OF the
company for arbitration. They in
sisted ON recognition of the union by
tho company before entering into
any negotiations. The decision OF
the men came as shock not only
10 the company but to the thousands
OF persons who had been walking TO
and from work since the strike was
instituted last Saturday.
The traction company gave out

H.
Spirited, indeed was the close Mon
day of the second period in the Daily
kilograms Great $4,000 Prize Voting
Contest.
The fight on the part OF the candi-
dates and their friends for subscrip-
tons had grown keener daily as the
end of the period approached
The height of Intensity was reached
when the hour of O'Clock sounded
and the second period was definitely
and finally ended.
Determined to secure larger vol
ume of new business during the sec
ond period than any opponent, and
thus win the magnificent SIPS diamond
ring, the contestants exerted every
effort UP to the final hour OF closing
to bring their returns up to winning
proportions.
while the SIPS diamond ring was
offered for new business alone, the
reduction in the voting schedule APP
piled to both old and new subscrip-
tions and consequently all business
that could be secured, whether old
or new, was turned in by the various
contestants. The bonus of 10000 ex-
ira votes was stimulant for all con-
testants to secure new business.
The second period diamond ring
will be awarded in the same manner
as the diamond ring offered in the first
period.
The question of the winner of each
of the diamonds viii remain the secret
of the records until the night of the
final canvass, when the records will
be gone over by the committee OF
judges and the winners of all prizes
will be announced.
Today the great race for the $4,000
in prizes enters upon the home
stretch" period.
In the periods which have gone be-
fore a contestant may have felt that
it did not matter much If an appon-
ent did surpass him at any time, for
he still had a full period or so in
which to make up any lost ground.
But now that the race has entered
upon the third and last period there
is no time left for delay-there is no
period left after the present one in
which to overcome an advantage
contestant has permitted an opponent
to secure
Success at the end now means work
persistent, day after day-work
right through until the final gong is
sounded
Confidence and an effective deter
mination-these are the qualities of
which winners are made.
And confidence in ones self. what
does it mean?
Simply a belief in ones ability to do;
and IL this belief were lacking at the
start it would be quickly supplied by
the results accomplished and the
ease with which they were accom-
pnshed by the Daily Telegram work
ers.
The natural preference for the Daily
Telegram and the readiness OF their
friends with their help have supplied
the encouragement to build up conf
dence and strength.
A little while in the race and they
hit their stride.
Then nothing can stop them.
No difficulty is so great that they
can not then surmount it-no obstacle
so large that they cannot take their
laughing way around 1t.
They have discovered themselves.
They accomplish things because
they have developed the will to ae-
complish them.
The viii to do that is the factor.
Where there is a will there is
winner.
The contestant who has hesitated
so far to make q real earnest cam
Irnaien should give himself q chance.

WHITE LABOR TO

HAGUE ARBITRATION
Would Not Convince Ameri-

Bread and Butter.
esy .ssoe.Arro raEss,

LONDON, May 13--.1If it be true
that Japan wishes to carry the Cali
fornia land question to the Hague
tribunal. we may shortly obtain a
fruitful lesson in the practical limit
OF arbitration" says the Pail Mall
Gazette today in discussing the situ-
alton which has arisen between the
United States and Japan.
The newspaper continues:
IF the Chinese and Japanese are
to have free entry to the Pacfic coast
it means efSectually the extirpation of
white labor from that region. All
the arbitration in the world will not
persuade the people of the western
states that it is their duty to givo
up their bread and butter to an alien
race and we can imagine how much
likelihood there is of the govern
ment at Washington taking meas
ures to enforce such an award upon
its own subjects. We should rather
like to see the experiment for its
usefulness in bringing dreamers
back to hard facts"

The Japanese ambassador will take
no further steps in the protest
against the California land law until
Governor Johnson passes upon the
bill before him. Should he, sign it.,
it was learned today. Japan without
making further representations to
the state department viii wait rea-
sonabie time to learn what the fed
eral administration intends to do TO
meet it's complaint.
It was intimated today that Japan
would not move to test the constitu-
tionaIity of the law but is inclined to
tho view that it is incumbent upon
the United States to take up that
phase OF the question. Although it
is understood here that Governor
