THINKS JAPAN WILL PROFIT
BY FAILURES IN THE WEST

rrespondenc- OF the Associated Press.
TOXIC. August 10.-The development
of social and Industrial conditions in
Japan is treated clearly in the latest
issue of The Christian Movement in
the japanese Empire, Il book which is
published each year by the federated
missionary organizations. In this re-
spect the volume is Of interest because
there have been number OF strikes for
higher wages, workmen claiming, they
should profit by the ways of war pros
perity spreading throughout the coun
try. The strikes have affected mills
mines, factories and even postmen. In
some cases they have been settled by
compromise: in others by granting the
demands.
Writers in the missionary volume give
credit to the work performed by the
Laborers Friends Society - Japan 5
nearest approach to trade unionism-
which was founded by Dr. Bunji Su-
zuki. 1t is regarded great success, as
DIR. Suzuki has helped to settle many
recent strikes.
The writer says he believes that the
faculty of Japanese officials and intel
ligent men of affairs of profiting by the
failures of the west and arriving at
compromises will help to prevent seri-
Gus trouble between capital and labor,
but thinks that '1aborers are becom-
ing slowly but steadily more Intelligent
and more self-conscious.
The writer concludes: They are be-
ing affected by the unrest and self-as-
sertion of occidental laborers. Unless
the officials and employers are large
minded and willing to meet rightful de-
mands, and unless laborers are inspired
by other than economic motives, con-
flicts are practically certain to break
