The Korean independence movement,
in reality peaceful revolt, is attract
ing much attention and giving Japan
considerable concern. The Japanese
have arrested a good many Koreans,
and with them some American mis-
sionary women, according to press
dispatches. No official stories of these
occurrences having been received in
Washington, the state department
cabled the American ambassador in
Tokyo to investigate the reports. The
Japanese, it is said, charge the Ameri-
cans with teaching the Koreans the
doctrines of liberty and personal
rights.

Meanwhile, true to their program of
freeing the proletariat of the entire
world, the Lenine-Trotzky crowd are
increasingly active in lands far apart.
In China they are said to be OrganiZ-
ing great movement and spending
immense sums of money, of which
they seem 70 have unlimited supplies.
Another uprising in India is being
planned. In western Canada their in
fluence is apparent in the action taken
by the labor unions. Nearly all local
unions there have voted to secede
from the American Federation of La
Dor and to follow the /. w. w. plan Of
organizing by industries instead of by
crafts. Their new body is to be
known as the One Big Union. The
delegates to the meeting that took this
action adopted resolution commit
ting them to the bolshevik plan of a
dictatorship of the proletariat," and
also voted for a referendum to call a
general strike on June 1 for 30-hour
five-day week.
What Mr.. Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, will
say of this remains to be seen. At
present he is in Paris, where the COM
mission on international labor legisla-
ton has been in session. The British
draft convention for a permanent or
ganizatiOn was amended and adopted
for submission to the peace confer
ence. The American contention that
each country should settle it's internal
labor problems without invoking the
power of the league of nations pre-
vailed. The commission heard dele
cation of women from the allied couh-
tries and promised to give due consid-
GRAFTON to the points presented, these
including eight claims in behalf of
working women and children.
