DUKE OF BRAGANZA
 62 YEARS OLD TOMORROW

Dom Miguel Duke of Braganza, pretender to the throne of Portugal and an officer of the Austrian army, was born sixty-two years ago to-fnor- row, Sept 1s,r 1853. Early in the war it was announced that Dom Mi gueI had accepted accumulation in the army of Francis Joseph, and that his son, Prince Miguel Sebastian Marie de Braganza, Duke of Vizeu, who married Miss Anita Stewart of New York six years ago this week, had followed his example. The house of Braganza, named after the Portuguese city of that name, was founded in the f1f- teenth century by Alfonso, the iHegitl-
 mate son of King John of Portugal. Tn 1640, after a blood1ess revolution, the Portu guese throw off the Spanish yoke and elevated Johns Duke of Bra ganzaa to the throne. His descendants have since reigned over Portugal and Brazil, until the latter empire was overthrown in 1889, and the Portu- guese republic established in 1910. The division in the Braganza family came about in 1926. when Dom Pedro Emperor of Brazil, son of King John VI of Portugal, abdicated the throne in favor of his daughter, Maria IL Dom Miguel. brother of Dom Pedro, usurped the throne and reigned, amid civil contentious, until 1888, when Queen Maria II was restored She married Prince Ferdinand of Saxe- |Coburg-Gotha, who became king un-- der the title of Ferdinand II. Ex- King Manuel is a great grandson of Maria II, and Ferdinand, while Dom Miguel, who disputes the legitimacy of the line now represented by Man uel, is the head of the. Miguel1st branch of the Braganza family. While the Portuguese republic seems to be having it's troubles, like most infant democracies, it is unlikely that either branch of the Braganza clan will ever regain the throne.

 The strike was an independent movement and was brought about by a two hours strike during the night of the 50 men in the might shift who got a temporary agreement. The ma chinists in the plant struck several weeks ago and their demands at that time were granted. Some of the strikers then were among those who struck today.

JAPAN, DIVIDED
 ON RESIGNATION
 OF COUNT 0KUMA
Many Transfers and Promo tions Follow Action of
 Japanese Premier.
Count Regard as Grand Old Man. of Present
 Era.

Tokio, Sept. 1S.-Opinian is divided in Japan as to the wisdom of Premier Count. Okuna,s move in cancelling his resignation and remaining in power with a reconstructed cabinet Those who favor the Count claim it was nec- essary in view of the fact that Japan is at war with Germany and Austria. A change of premier was undesirable during the war. Also, it was updesir- monies which will be held in Novem- Der. Others believe the Counts move a blow to constitutional government, as it showed interference from the genro and intervention from the Elm peror himself. Doubts arg expressed as to the capacity of the new nlinis- try to live long. especially as it is without the sustaining force offered by the presence of Baron Kato as foreign minister, who was regarded as the real head of the former cabinet.
 President Slimada of the House of Represen tatives, ,eongratufates the state and the people on the reorganization of the Okuna government. especially irl view of the coronation festivities. ministry, he thinks. is all that can be desired under existing conditions.
 pr. K. Iehil<i, who has been trans ferred from the portfolio of education to that of home affairs. was a gradu- ate of the college of law in the Inn periaI Tokio University, and is an authority on domestic administration. He has no connection whatever with any political party, and this fact, Speaker Shimada. argues, will enable him to exercise his authority without any party prejudice.
 Vice Admiral Kato. the new minis ter of the navy has held the office of vice minister of the navy for many years and was chief of staff to Ad- war.
 Dr. S. Takata, the new minister of education, held the post of president of Waseda University for many years.
 MT. K Minoura, who became minis ter of accommodations, once held the office of vice minister of scornmunfca- tions and is proprietor and chief edit or of the HocFf. which is the organ of the present government. He is a man of many estima ble qualities, and is respected even by his political foes.
 MT. T. Taketonli. who has been transferred from the portfolio of com munications to that of finance, is we'll known as an able hnancier.
 MT. Shimada expresses regret that Count Olxuma has lost Baron Kato and Vice Admiral Yashiro from the foreign and naval portfolios, but com mends the choice of Baron Ishii, am- bassador to Paris, as foreign minister
 With one group Count OlSuma is regarded as the Grand Old Man. of the present Japanese era. Without. him the political situation would have become hopelessly complicated with incessant changes that would keep the empire in a constant state of anxiety.
 With another group the constitu- tiona1 issue involved is held of su- .preme weight. The premier is re- garded as having violated constitu- tionaI usage in rendering his resigna- tion only to withdraw it. Resigna- tons have been ordinarily accepted,

 t'In the middle of July this associa- ton issued a brief statement declar- ing absolutely for the open shop. Since then such articles as have daily appeared in the local press have been the statements of labor leaders which newspaper has perfect right to publish as news but not necessarily as facts. Practically all of such matter published has been with the intent of batting the employees.
 From reliable information which W0 have, eighty per, cent. of the em- ployees of the various factories are at heart satisfied with the shorter hours which have been granted and the establishments of compensation and would much prefer that this asl- tation cease.''
 James E. Roche, chairman of the ex- ecutive committee of the American Federation of Labor, was shown the statement, this afternoon.
 You can say for me thas we have agreements signed by manufacturers in every instance where the American Federation of Labor has helped a strike, and I will make these public as soon as somebody in the Manufac- turers' association will sign that state-s ment.
 'An association of manufacturers that hasn't the courage of it's convic- tions, and will make anonymous state ments is not a truly representative Manufa cturers' association and is ur- worthy of the consideration of Bridge port citizens
 In regard to the statements made about agreements with labor leaders, MT. Roche said he nor Mrs. ScuIlgs where evidently referred to in the statement, had ever claimed to have made an agreement. He said the agreements are between the employ CTS and their. employees.
