TRADESUNIONS ARE ATTACKED
 BY SENATOR

WASHINGTON, Oct 21 (by Associ ated Press) ).-Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, chairman of the senate committee which is Investigating the coal strike, in a speech in the senate today attacked trades unionism under it's present leadership as "a new au- tocracy tending toward Bolshevikism." 7"
 The senator urged American public opinion to stop the movement, which he feared would bring class govern ment
 Senator FrelinghuySen criticized the demands of the miners for a five day week and increased wages, and said the demands we're exorbitant, and if granted they would decrease production.
 The senator referred to the steel strike to the Boston police strike, and to the strike of the New York longshoremen, and asked, Where will this striking frenzy stop?" Un- less it be stopped, he said, i've will reach a state of anarchy worse than the German autocracy."

JAPANESE COUNT
 AND FORMER PREMIER DIES
 AFTER 4 BRILLIANT CAREER

TOKYO, Oct. 21 (by Associated Press) Field Marshal Count Seiki Terauchi, former premier, died here last night
 One of the foremost warrior-states- men of modern Japan, Field Marshal Count Seiki Terauchis notable achievements included his solution of the problem of national defense for Japan and his success in annexing Ko- req and the assimilation of the Korean people into the Japanese empire dur ing his administration as governor gen. eral of that colony. The results he attained in Korea had marked him as a commanding figure and one to be reckoned with in shaping the destinies of the Japanese empire.
 Called by the emperor to become premier in the course of passionate struggle between the forces of rep resentative government and those of the Japanese bureaucracy, his eleva- tion to the leading post in the Japa- nese government in 1916 brought the clash between these opposing forces to issue, with Count Terauchi as the focus.
 As the champion and one of the leading opponents of the ultraconser- vative bureaucracy, Count Terauchfs appointment as premier was attacked by the adherents of representative government on the ground that he was virtually selected as premier by the Japanese elder statesmen, and that this little group of men exercised alto gether too powerful an influence over the destinies and government of Japan.
 Representing only minority Of the house of representatives, Count Terau- chi faced defeat in his measures to be submitted to that house. The conflct came to issue when the opposition ln- troduced resolution of lack of confl- dence, but apparently at the advice or the premier the emperor forestalled the vote by dissolving the house. New elections were ordred in April, 1917, and these were accompanied by vigor- ous attacks upon the premier, who was credited with the intention or again dissolving the house should the election be adverse to him.
 Count Terauchi was member o1 the famous Choshu clan, from which sprang renowned leaders of the Japa-
The Cordova daily times., 1919-10-21

nese army. He was born February ,, 1852, at Nagato, and was the son of a samurai. He distinguished himself as young soldier of the Imperial Guards regiment in putting down the Saigos rebellion, in which service he was wounded in the right arm, as a result of which that arm thereafter was use less.
 Although outdone by more brilliant soldiers, Count Terauchi won distinc- tion as a military administrator and won promotion as major general and appointment as the president of the Japanese military staff college. While minister of war, in 1902, his executive qualities and unremitting diligence won the confidence of the elder statesmen. He became absolute master of the war department, and eventually a war councillor.
 | The achievement with which his name will ever be associated is the annexation of Korea. Appointed gov ernor general in 1910, his aim was to win the Korean people near to the Japanese. He ruled the Koreans with a firm hand, took over the police pow CTS of the government, and stationed Japanese soldiers in every province. Within a few months after assuming 1 the office of governor his work Of an nexation was complete, and the fact was announced to the treaty powers. The emperor of Korea was reduced to the rank of a prince, and the rule of Terauchi was supreme. Under his dl- rection Japan spent vast sums Of money in improving and developing the province. His constructive abll- ity. as manifested in its rebuilding, won for him the admiration of the ! Japanese people.
 Small in stature and modest in ap- pearance, Count Terauchi combined with keen military knowledge a large capacity for statesmanship and power of leadership. His aversion to politi- cians cost him many friends.
 AS premier he announced that his aim would be to promote friendly ties between Japan and the United States, that he had no intention of waving the sword" at America, and that he ac' cepted the office "as statesman seek | ing the lasting interests of his people not as a militarist seeking Glorlnca tion by the sword"
