KOREAN MIN ARE
 BEATEN ID DEATH
ReYolutionists Are Cowed, but Still Bitterly Hostile to Japanese Rule, Says Eyewitncss--Th Barbar-
 ous Wooden Paddle.

(By Hugh Byas, Special Correspond
 ent International News Service)
 Tokio, Oct. 4--Every credible eye witness from Korea testifies that the Koreans are cowed, but still bitterly hostile to their Japanese rulers.
 The tremendous series of punish ments which followed the suppression of the independence demonstrations of last spring have caused infinitely greater resentment than the ruthless severity of the suppressions them selves. Nearly 10000 persons have been imprisoned. and many thousands logged with the wooden paddle.p a barbarous weapon inherited from old Korea.
 ! have seen many photographs of Korean young men whose flesh was literally beaten to shreds Many of them died
 This cruelty, which was largely ex- ercised on male students, accompan- jed by other cruelties and indignities offered to women students, has in- famed the population more than the massacres and burning of villages.
 The reason for these brutalities un-, occasionally lies in the military rule, which has now been abandoned. The authorities in Tokio, from the Pre- mier downward, were kept in igno- rance of the troops methods. and are sincerely shocked by the belated rev. citations of the missionaries.
 Admiral Saito, the new Governor of Korea, is large minded man and in- tends to carry out humane policy, but the best-qualified Anglo-Ameri- can observers in Korea believe that many long days must elapse before the Japanese administration will be rehabilitated in Korean eyes.
 With magnificent gesture, Admi- raj Saito, the day after his attempted assassination, issued proclamation to the Koreans, breathing clemency and promising immediate ameliora- tion of the conditions and eventual self-government
 He calls on the people to speak freely of their grievances and ad- monishes the officials to administer the spirit rather than the letter of the law He enunciates the principles that the success of colonial adminis- tration depends on the self-govern- ing qualities of the people. and there fore local institutions are being in troduced
 Admiral Saito declares that Japan does not desire Co eradicate Korean culture, but to cherish it. and prom ises freedom of speech and educa- tIouaI reforms. In a notable tribute he clears the missionaries from the charge of formenting discontent.
 The proclamation conspicuously marks the end of military rule, which came near wrecking Japan's great est effort at colonization by provok- inK discontent owing to harsh gov erlimeni and then suppressing the demonstrations with such brutal se- verity as created despairing belief among the Koreans that their only alternatives were slavery or inde- pendence
 The prospect of eventual autonomy changes the entire position.

WORK, MORE WORK
 IS GREATEST NEED
Increased Production Will End Indus trial Unrest, Says Mr. Harding Six Months of Tranquility Would
 Reduce the Prices.

St. Louis, Oct. 1.--Increased pro lduction as a means of settling the present industrial unrest, and the de-
 claration of an industrial truce for six months as method of reducing the
 cost of living were suggested by
 W. F. c. Harding. governor of the
 Federal Reserve Board, in an address before the convention of the Amerl-
 can Bankers Association here yester-
 day.
 Causes of the labor trouble, MT, lTIarding said are directly traccable
 to the great war, to it's waste and ldestraetion, 10 it's heavy drain upon available supplies that constituted so
 large a part of the worlds wealth
 and to financial expedients, which, he said, were necessary to obtain these supplies. & He expressed the view that credit expansion, rather than currency inha- ltion. is responsible for prevalent ec. onomsc troubles. out, he said credit expansion did not create the world
 wide demand for goods and services, but was necessary factor in provld ing that the demand be satisfied" Our credit expansion in this coun- | try he continued lis due to govern ment purchases and the government borrowings the only alternative to loans being 100 per cent taxation to meet war expenses.
 As the government is paying off its indebtedness at the rate of s750,CC0,- ieee annually, mr. Harding predicted that within the next few months 1t will be possible for the government to do away with the issuance of treasury certificates and operate on incoming taxes.
 More Production Needed. We need more production he emphasized. We need to develop our export trade. We shouldn't send i;uxuries to impoverished countries, but should send them necessaries. Lux Iuries should be sent to Latin-America for the South is just entering upon its most prosperous period. If the world would declare an in dustrial truce for six months, 1t would
 do more to bring down high prices
 than ever could be accomplished by
 strikes oi agitation.
 Work, more work, is what tho
 country needs. Shorter hours and in
 creased wages will not incrsase pro-
 claction.
 ITO quell the spirit of unrest, we
 must abolish the soup house and es-
 tablish the woodyard'

DESPITE WAR CONDITIONS THE
RECORD FOR 1918 WAS LITTLE
BELOW AVERAGE

BOISE. - Despite several causes
which retarded production, the mi
neral output of Idaho mines during
the year 1918 was not so far below
previous years as had been expected,
says the annual report of Robert N.
Bell, state inspector of mines, just is
sued. The slackened out put started
with the early months of the year
when severe floods in the Occur
d'Alene district interrupted railway
transportation for two or three weeks
and partially destroyed several miles
of track on two important railroads.

tinued to recede to the end of the
year, together with the still prevail
ing high operating costs, the labor
situation has not only eased up but
men are available in excess of require
ments and the industry is decidedly
upset, with glutted market for lead
metal, curtailment of output was nee
essary and the reconstruction period
is likely to involve sacrifice of rath-
er serious nature, of all interests in
volved in the industry, including en-

mess"
Lead is the chief metal output in
Idaho, the state ranking second only
to Missouri.
There were 800 men employed in
the mining industry during the year
1918, embracing both underground
and surface workers. Out of this
number of men engaged, in what is
known as a hazardous occupation,
there were 10 fatalities in the twelve
months, as compared with "a in 1917.
A tribute to the adventurous young
miners who took their part in the
great war is paid by Mr.. Bell, who

extreme scarcity of labor, especially
good miners, the report says, together
with influenza troubles and the sud-
den collapse of the lead market in
December, resulted in a decided de-
crease in total mineral yield for the
year which aggregated, in gross met
al contents, according to estimates, as
follows:
Lead, 29O,848,425 pounds; silver,
9, 572,214 ounces; zinc, 1851 ,000d
pounds; copper, 5,240,400 pounds;
gold, 36;307 ounces. Total gross val

as follows: Lead, 1896, 100000 pounds;
silver, 12,496,000 ounces; zinc, 96,000,-

gold, $4,000 ounces. Total gross val

EXPLAINS PHYSICAL UNFITNEss
Caused by Improper Attention Given
Children, Says Mrs. Greene.

when we study Missouri socially,
we study the children of Missouri"
said Mrs. C. W. Greene, addressing a
Y.WC.A. meeting yesterday. In the
first draft 38 per cent of the men were
rejected because they were physical
ly unfit. The members of the Chill
drens' Bureau studied the cases of
the rejected men and found that the
trouble, in most of the cases, went
back to the lack of proper attention
before they were years old.
Mrs. Greene said that 10000 babies
die annually before the end of their
first year. Fifty-five per cent of these
babies die of preyentable diseases,
chiefly due to neglect and ignorance
on the part of the mother.
