A SERIOUS LABOR
CRISIS NOW FACES
JAPANESE Govt.

Toxic, Nov. S-(Associated Press)
The recent food riots in Japana are
dangerous symptoms of a widening
social cleavage in the opinion Of To-
shio Fujiwara, a leading business
man of Toxic and an authority on
social questions. He contrasts the
conditions under which the working
class of Japan live with the enor-
nous profits of great enterprises, and
sees in the ostentation of the count
less war millionaires a social irritant
which is causing the theories of west
ern agitators to work on the minds
of the Japanese wage earners.
Mr.. Fujiwara thinks that Japanese
skilled workmen have already acquir-
ed the ideas Of the working people
of western countries. He adds:
These ideas, unfortunately mostly N
a wrong sens, are steadily working
upon the minds of our working peo-
pie, especially those in big cities like
Toxic, Osaka, etc. He continues:
Leaders of the nation are there
fore strongly urged to adopt some
measures for relief of the general dis
content SO that disaster may be avoid
ed. Should this general discomfort of
the working class be left without rem
edy, we may have more serious out
bursts and these may bring about a
catastrophe to the Empire"
Mr.. Fujiwara urges that japanese
statesmen learn a lesson from Amer
lean and British statesmen in the
handling of national problems, es-
pecially food problems. Improvement
of the living conditions of the work
ing classes in Japana, he believed to
be urgently imperative, and this re
form should be inaugurated in the
big. cities of Toxic and Osaka.

NEW EXPERIMENTS

The big war revival in agriculture
is producing many interesting expert
ments in the growing of new crops on
land not in use for growing human
food. For example, a big area in the
country is now, on the suggestion OF
the food production department.
planted with sunfiowers, the seeds OF
which are valuable, both as a source
OF oil and for poultry food. Small
cultivators are also urged by the gov
eminent to SOW sugar beet, as an i'm

pigs. Farmers whose cereal crops
have failed owing to attacks from diff
ferent kinds of parasites are advise
to grow Hnseed.

BROWN-kUNZ BOUT
 IS POSTPONED
Promoters Trying to Arrange a
 Satisfactory Date for Mill

New Haven, Jan. 1S-Perhaps noth- ing will be harder hit from the effect of the drastic order by Fuel Admin istratOr Garfield, to meet the coal famine in this country. than the To- cal sport world. Many important fix lures, will be forced to suspend in- definitely. while the schedules of the leading sports, such as boxing, bowl ing, wrestling, billiards etc, will have to undergo immediate changes. Post ponement of several big events are now in order, notably the boxing bout between Chic Brown of this city and Battling Kunz of South Norwalk, scheduled for next Monday night at the Arena. EX-Alderman Dave Fitz- gerald, president of the Arena A. C., which is to stage the BroWn-Kun bout, stated last night that the off cials of the club held a meeting and decided to set back the date.
 At a late hour last night no deti- Hite date had been decided upon but the probabilities are that either next Tuesay or a week from Wednesday will be the date selected. A com bined food, poultry and dog show is scheduled to start next Tuesday at the Arena and efforts will be made to have it's opening date set back a night in favor of the boxing interests. Should this plan fall through there will be no other action possible but to pontpone the bout until Wedncs- day night of the following week.
 Officials of the Arena A. c. notified Battling KunZ over the long distance telephone that government action made it compulsory to postpone the show. Kunz said that it was agree able to him to box on Tuesday but he was dead-set against postponing it until the following week. He stated that a long postponement would ser iously affect his training. Chic Brown, on the other hand. said he would abide by any date set by the club.

 Moran says the Phillies are trying 10 arrange a spring exhibition tour with the Washington mericans. Grif- filth may take his players to Tampa, Fla, or Atlanta, Ga, in the event the Senators go to Tampa. a series in Florida will be arranged.
 Discussing Alexander, Moran eX pressed an opinion that there was little chance of any hitch developing in the sale of his late pitching star to Chicago. He said under the agree ment made by Baker and Weeghman the deal was to be called off in the eVent that Alexander was drafted thirty days before the opening of the season. He says the Chicago club has made no attempt to call the deal off.

SMALL CLUBS PROTEST
Managers Raise Terrific Yclp at Tax of 5000 Contained in Marty Mc- Cues Boxing Bill.

New York, Jan. 1S.-If Assembly, man Marty McCue's proposed boxing bill is passed at Albany, there will be consternation among small-fry fight club owners.
 If McCues s5,O0O license clause is allowed to sail through with the bill there is sure to be a dreadful din set up by the physical directors of the little "tWo-bit'' organizations. Those clubs simply can't afford to pay such a tax.
 The small club managers throw up their hands in terror at the mere men tion of McCue's name. The Bro Oklyn club owners are much discouraged over the outlook in the event of Nc Cues bill going through. Amy Mack, the man who has piloted the Military and Vanderbilt clubs for years-clubs that have their own little following does not mince matters in his Opin- ion.
 Better no bill at all than the one McCue proposes to introduce; better
 to let things go as they are right now!" he fairly shouted last night. Wasn't a tax of 1-2 per cent. steep enough? I don't want to appear to be making a howl against any good 1 that Will cOIllo LO our SoluISIS. IL 1 they'd let us alone we'd take good care 1 of the soldiers and sailors, but Me 1 Cues proposed bill is simply impos- l sible We can't go, that's all. The l 20 per cent. tax would be severe l enough, and would eventually bury us , all, so why the $5,00O headstone? l We'll, it's joke bill, that's all. Why didn't McCue let Senator Malone send his bill through? That was a good bill as he had outlined it.
 ''As to the license fee, why not ap-
 ply it with some degree of reason Why not tax Us according to our seating capacity? Rochester and i Buffao are to get off with half the
 fee that we are to be charged, yet they outseat and outdraw us three to
 one The whole thing is being ar
 ranged to plant boxing in the lap of
 one club-nOW mark my word on that
 If that bill goes through boxing will
 take an everlasting count. It was either framed to put boxing in the | hands of trust in this city or to kill the sport entirely. In any event, if
 the bill passes, it is the worst thing
 that has ever hit boxing around here.''

DOESN'T NEED MONEY
Jess Willard, When Told of S75,00O Offer From St. Paul Promoters, Raves About Benefit Match.

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-St Paul fight promoters who operate the Capital City Athletic club, where Fulton and Miske will clash tonight, are hot after a bout for Jess Willard.
 Jack Reddy, the matchmaker, wires that his club will give 5,00O for a bout between the champion and the winner of the Miske-Fulton match.
 The auditorium in St. Paul where the club holds it's fights has a seating capacity of 15,000, according to Reddy.
 Willard said Well, I don't need $75,O0O very badly right now and 1 don't believe I want to consider any purse proposition
 ''l've got this benefit idea well in hand. I'll make it for athletic para phernalia-that is for boxing gloves, wrestling mats, baseball stuff, any thing that is needed.
 i've got two or three places in mind where I can pull off the match. I don't know who these people in St. Paul are, but I'll talk to them, of course. I don't care to name any flat terms for fight now, as I'm not look ing for a purse for myself.
 i've been tied up with some circus people for a couple of days trying to sell the rest of my circus property. When I get that off my chest I'll have more time to talk fights and fight bus mess. You can say, though, that | m not planning for anything but a big benefit fight at present.

MORT LINDSAY LOSES
After Taking League From Glenn RiddcI, New Havener Loses to Mediocre Bowler.

New York, Jan. 1S.-Mort Lindsey cant stand prosperity. After pulling the unexpected by working his way into the Eastern bowling league lead at the expense of Glenn Riddell, Wednesday night the New Havener returned to his home alleys here last night and went down to defeat. Charley Offenheiser, who is only a fair average bowler, was Lindsey's con- queror and captured six out of 10 games. Lindsey turned in two good games but his showing on the whole was decidedly disappointing, both to himself and his adherents- Only two weeks ago Lindsey defeated Offen- heiser on the fatter's alleys.
 Offenheiser got the jump in last nights match by capturing four out of the first five games. Lindsey man. aged to tie the series at four all only to lose the next two games. Offen- heiser averaged 1s4 to Lindseys 197. Scores of 223 and 234 made in the sixth and seventh games, respectively, swelled the New Havener's average.

MORAN HOPEFUL 0F
 PHILLIPS CHANCES
QuakertOWn Leader Says National
 League Is We'll Balanced

New York. Jan. 1S-Patrick Moran, the stocky field director of the Phil lies made his second winter visit to New York yesterday for the purpose of discussing the clubs training plans with President Baker of the Quaker club. Moran escaped back to his home town of Fitchburg, Mass, last night without suffering any new cal amity. The last time the New Eng land Irishman was in our midst he was compelled to sit idly by while the great Pitcher Alexander and Catcher Killifer were amputated from his bat tery department.
 Whether the Phillies contemplate any new deals Moran would not say, He contented himself with remark ing that the owner of the Phillies will be ready to strengthen the clUt whenever any advantageous deal pre- sents itself. It will be recalled that President Baker promised the Phil adelphia fans that the money ob tained for Alexander and Killifcr would be utilized in buying new mn- terial. Moran predicted a tight, we'll balanced pennant race in the Na- tional league next season. He de- clared there is not @ team in the league that will be able to make : runaway race.
 It is said that Moran and Baker conferred on some trades to strength en the Philly pitching department Moran says that "outside of his bat i teries he will have a better club I i 1918 than he had in 1917.'
 Pitching Staff Hard Hit. The Philly pitching staff has beer hit hard since the Alexander deal. { 11ppa Rixey the tall left handler, who next to Alexander has been the most effective pitcher on the Philadelphia staff has been commissioned a lieu tenant in the Gas and Fire brigade. Then Wilbur Davis, a recruit pitcher from Atlanta, who was expected to fill Alexander's place, has been draft ed. Davis is a big fellow. tried out hv the Athletics a few seasons ago, and was considered the best pitcher in the minors last season.
 The loss of Alexander, RiNey and Davis reduces the Philly hurhng corps to tho veteran Bender and a. rather mediocre quaTtet. OeSchger, Iaven' der, Mayer and Prendergast, hardly an imposing staff.
 Moran talks very enthusiasticalfA about Meusel and Fitzgerald, two out 1 felders from the Pacific Coast league both of whom may play regularly fol the Phillies next season. Fitzgerald played with the Yankees under Ha Chase back in 1911. In the event bott i Meusel and Fitzgerald come througI Moran will play brand new outfielG next season, consisting of Fitzgerald Williams and Meusel. In that event the brilliant Whitted will relieve Fref Luderus at first base, while Cactus Crayath will be carried as a utiliu l outfielder and pinch hitter.
 Will Train at St. Petersburg.
 Following his conference with Bak- CT. Moran announced that the Phillies again will train at St. Petersburg Fla, next spring. His men will re ] port about thirty days previous t i! the opening of the National leagul
