since August, 1917. His aim was to
show that Japan has not suffered much
from the American ban on steel and
That America in her actual and practi-
cal application Of the trade control un-
der the license proclaimed by Presi-
dent Wilson IN February. 1918, will
deal very generously with the trade
interests Of japan and other powers
o. the Entente. The figures which Mr..
Rutter quoted showed that Japanese
imports OF American steel in the FIVE
months-Argus. to December. 1917
were actually larger than the amount of
Arne rican steel which she had imported
within seven months immediately pre-
ceding August. l917-in which month
the American embargo on steel ex-
port went into effect
The "Asahi" takes up the figures Of
Mr.. Rutter. and says that they may
be swallowed whole and with salts
faction by a lot of utter ignoramuses
in the practical knowledge of COM
merce like the officials of the Foreign
Office of japan. but they by no means
prove that the United States has been
dealing generously with the Japanese
exporters of American steel.
The "Asahi" points out that the ex.
port embargo on American steel was
scheduled to go into effect on the ff-
teenth Of August, 1917, that the Japa-

IN the New York district, not onlv in
retail prices of food, cloth;ng and
other items consumed by wage earners
put also IN rents, related to the fam;ly
budgets of over SIX hundred tvnicaI
families whose heads are EMPLOYED N
snipoulldlng, has been made for MS bv
the United States Bureau of Labor Sta-
tlstlcs. - '''
This proved an increase so mrcb
snl.lIer than tnat claimed by the repre-
sentatives Of labor that we submittea
the data which they presented at our
hearings to the bureau for careful an.
alysls- The bureaus report shows that
the principal reason for the d!screp-
ancy was the difference in the method
used IN the two Investigations. The
bureau correctly weighed each item in
It's investigation according to the
proved Importance of that item among
a normal family's expenditures. In
the investigation Of the men showing
even the most insignificant were treat
ed as of equal Importance.
Treated All Increases the Same
Thus salad oil, increasing 275 per
cent, was treated as equally important
with bread, increasing only 33 1-3 per
cent; caps increasing 100 per cent, as
equally important with suits of clothes
increasing only 52.2 per cent Other
reasons for the abnormally high in
crease IN the cost of living shown was
the comparison of the prices of vege-
tables and fresh fruits in the winter
with their prices in the summer, and
OF the prices of winter garments with
those of summer garments.
In view of the fact that the conclu-
slons of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
as to the true rise in the cost of living
since the beginning of the war CORE
spord closely with other Investigations,
such as those made for the railroad
brotherhoods and submitted by them
IN connection with their request for an
increase In wages, We feel constrained d
to accept them as substantially accu-
rate. Adding this increase to the wage
rates submitted by the men as having
prevailed in shipyards in 1914, we get
rates somewhat lower for nearly all
crafts than those given in to-day's de-
cision.
I'VE believe, therefore, that the wage
scale fixed makes full allowance for
the increased cost Of living in the New
ork district, which appears % have
been about the same as in OTTER 10
calties.
Because of this fact and of the ne
cesslty which the war imposes of adopt
ing the policy which will result in the
maximum production of ships in the
minimum time, we have thought it our
duty to disregard local considerations
and to stabilize as much as possible
the whole shipbuilding Industry
Though this policy does not benefit
wage earners equally in all sections, it
works injustice to none. We count
confdentially on the patriotic CO.
operation of both shipyard owners and
employees to make this national war
policy a success"
New-York tribune., 1918-04-07

to the American Embassy at Toxic,
made a speech recently in which he
stated that the American government
IS not trying to put its own interests
above all else or to benefit itself at
the expense of her allies. The "Asahi"
differs from him emrhatical,y.
The foreign trade policy of the Uni
ted States Of late" it declares, "since
the ban on steel and gold exports Of
last summer, is the declaration Of an
economic war against Japan We re-
gret that even if we wish to interpret
the American actions in any other
ways we can not do So"
The "Asahi" thinks that it is
the most natural thing for MIR.
Rutter to defend the American
policy az public banquet, but
it insists that in actual operation
the American policy has repeat
cdly death serious blows to the
trade interests of Japan More than
that, the United States is putting into
operation policies which would compel
one to take the most pessimistic view
of the Japanese trade with the United
States in the future
Large Exports to Japan
Mr.. Rutter cited the amount of
American steel imported into Japan
New-York tribune., 1918-04-07

nese importers had known Of the COM
ing of the embargo order since about
May of the year. and had done every
thing in their power to get the steel
cut of the United States before the
embargo went into effect: that. there
fore. as the most natural result of it
all. a tremendous amount of steel was
imported in the months Of August and
September.
Forcing Tactics" Criticised
The "Asahi" goes or to comment on
the American methods of getting the
Japanese ships, and declares that the
forcing tactics employed by America
in that matter can never be construed
as an unselfish act on the part of the
United States-as not putting the in
terest CT the United States first" as
Mr.. Rutter saws.
If it be true that America really
means to save - sllies from suffer
ing damages "Asahi" says. "it
would seem to :. rat about the first
thing she would Go is to furnish the
shipbu;lding plants of Japan all the
needed steel and construction mate
rials and thereby plan to increase the
output of both the United States and
Japan to the fullest extent. That
would benefit the Allies all around

rAsHINGTON, April 6.-The Ship

!. to-day its decision prescribing
.s hours and other conditions in
=. shjpvards Of the North Atlantic
...,t In an attempt to prevent the
cement Of labor from yard to yard
laws decision establishes uniform
~. scale for all the North Atlantic
~. and extends this scale to apply to
f.nIled help in all the Southern and
Gulf yards.
Wages and other conditions an
.aunced in to-day's decision become
Elective generally April %. In the
| New York Harbor region, including
rideeport, however, It is made retro
.etive to March II. and in the steel
rsrds OF the New England district it
Il: made retroactive to March 20. The
|decsion was signed by Lewis A Cool
,ise. of Boston, with the reservation
|tbat it not be imposed upon yards in
which no disputes between employer
and employed have arisen, Mr.. Coolidge
|eontending that the board has no juris-
|diction over such yards. Explaining
|the necessity for the uniform wage
scale on the Atlantic coast, the decision
/ says:
To Check Shifting of Labor
AFrom Maine and Florida complaints
reach US that the shifting of labor
from district 10 district is going on
1.o the extent Of thousands of men a
Edsy. Just as this decision is issued a
|snele yard reports that its daily loss
|et employees exceeds 200 7 he loss in
| |eutput of tonnage 10 the country as a
/ whole from this cause can hardly be
Exaggerated. We have come to the
conclusion that this shifting of labor
1 viii not be checked until the same wage
scale. at least for all skilled mechan-
les, is established for the WHOLE Allan
/ tic coast and Gulf region"
The wage scale and conditions pre-
xribed in the decision announced to-
Day are practically Identical with those
handed down for the Philadelphia and
Baltimore districts some weeks ago.
The demand for the Pacific Coast
scale By workers IN certain New York
yards is declared uniustified on the
grounds represented by the men. that
they were suffering from the high costs
o. living. which justified their de-
mands. Discussing this phase of the
New York situation the board states:

will hold their first sewing bee in
same next Saturday afternoon. The
building formerly owned by l..
Jacobs has been remodeled and paint
ed and turned over to the Red Cross
ladies for their use for the period of
lie present war by the First National
Bank of Abercrombie. There are two
good sized rooms down stairs which
will be used for the ordinary sewing
rooms, and the two front rooms up
stairs will be used for surgical dress
ing only, while the remaining rooms
will be used as store rooms. Since
moving from the other building the
ladies have met Saturday afternoons
at the depot. However very little
has been accomplished in the line of
sewing, and therefore there is a great

hoped that all good sewers and men,
