HANKOw, China, August 20.-Chinese

sleepy. unprogressive old city manifests
little interest in recent political de-
velopments. The same is true of Nam
king, the former capital of China. 800
miles farther down the river. The rail-
way between Picking and Shanghai
crosses the Yangtse-kiang at Marking.
The city is an educational center and
was once a stronghold of the Sun Vat
Sen forces and the scene of the battle
of Purple mountain.
Yuan Shi-kai's gunboats are scattered
along the Yangtse-kiang. His troops
are centered in the larger river towns.
They have been moved frequently to
make sure they have not fallen under
rebel influence. Consequently the ad-
ministration is confident that no rebel
demonstration of any consequence can
develop in the valley to which nearly
all of central China is tributary.
Chinese papers published in foreign
concessions are almost unanimous in
declaring this is an unfortunate time
for the discussion of an empire. They
believe the project should be aban-
doned until after the end of the Euro
pean war because of the Importance of
foreign interests in China.

is that it will take some time to ad-

This view is probably typical of that
held by most of the business men of
Hankow. which is called the Chicago
Of China and is probably destined to be
the great railway center of the coun-
try. Hankow is situated at the mead OF
navigation for ocean-going boats on
the Yangtse. Boats of shallow draft
navigate for hundreds of miles above
Hankow. A railway connects Picking
and Hankow and another is building to
Canton. A third railway is projected
west from Hankow. and American in
terests are endeavoring to finance this
line into the rich country lying toward
Tibet.

The average weekly rate Of pay for
the whole group in Portland was
$11.74 before and $11.97 after the de-

number receiving these lower rates
had decreased under the determine

Net Results An Advance.
Thus the net results seems to be
AN advance for the women as a
whole. There has been no levelling
down Of wages to a minimum. Some
women upon reinstatement after an
absence, were compelled to accept
only the rate to which they were
legally entitled, although it was low
err than they received during their
earlier, service, but whenever the
wage rates, of old employees have
been changed since the minimum
wage rulings, the employees were
benefited.
In studying the effect of the fixing
OF minimum wage rates. it should be
borne IN mind that, regardless Of
minimum wage determinations, there
are constant changes in business or
ganization from year to. year which
have a material bearing upon the
opportunities and conditions Of en-
ployment. In the period, considered

Opposition developed against this
recommendation from the anti-mili-
