Indications are that the finance
crisis in japan is over, but it will
be some time before commerce and
industry can adjust itself to the
new order of prices, and conse-
quently there are prospects of hard
times ahead, according to cable
gram received at the Department of
Commerce yesterday.
Although the Mogi Severity-fourth
Bank of Japan is still closed the
other banks are not considered to
be in a precarlous condition.
The markets, however, are
thoroughly demorialized and prices
are rapidly falling. Unsettled con-
ditions have produced serious con-
gestions at ports and at the Yoka-

freight are uncalled for, the cable

very solemnly that he would never
take second place on the ticket. To
report the case bluntly, republican

he said that.
But this alleged faIsehood (Which
will be proved or disproved within
two weci1s) has not disqualified
johnson to hold high office. On
the contrary, IL HAS SHnSltu INN out

emigrants from Poland, according to
James Smell of the Butte Stationary
Engineers union, who returned with
in the last few days from a visit to
that state in the interest of his can
didacy for international president of
the mine, mill and smelter workers
union.
The Arizona copper companies, ac-
cording to Mr.. Smell, feel that as the
result of the deportations and the
repressive measures the companies
have taken against the workers, the
present available miners cannot be
depended upon and for this reason
they are seeking to secure immi-
grants from Poland who are relig-
iously inclined and who are more
likely to submit to subjection.
