JAP WITNESS WOULD PUT BAIV ON INFLUX OF HIS COUNTRYINEN
LRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-K. A. kanzaki, secretary of the Japanese As sociation of America, told the immi- grafton and naturalization committee of the house of representatives today that he believed in restriction of Jap anese immigration in the United States but that S0.000 to 10000 more could properly be accommodated in addition to the S7,000 already here.
 This additional number would help to bring the proportion of men and women to a fair basis, in his opinion, and would not complicate racial or eco- homie questions.
 MT. Kanzaki said he was not pre- pared to answer the question of Repre- sentative Siegel as to whether all Jap anese residing in this country, regard less of their place of birth, should be admitted to American citizenship after having shown proper qualifications.
 During the morning session of the hearing, K K Kawakami, Japanese writer and publicity agent, underwent a hard quizzing regarding his activities in this country and his connections with officials of the Japanese govern ment.
 MT. Kawakami could not be shaken from a statement in a communication to the committee last week that a let ter he composed but could not get George Shima, president of the Jap anese Association of America to sign, was a decoy for Senator Phelan, the stenographic notes being thrown in the waste basket
 A letter declared by MT. Kawakami to have been transcribed from these notes was offered during the testimony of Senator Phelan before the com mittee.

SOVIET GOVERNMENT
 REJECTS BRITAIN'S
 PROPOSAL FUR PEACE

LONDON, July 20.-The reply of the Russian soviet government to the Brit ish note concerning an armistice with Poland rejects, in substance, the Brit ish peace proposals, according to the London Times, which publishes a sum mary of the soviet answer.
 The document is lengthy and the Times assumes it will soon be pub- lished by the government.
 The bolshevil1i decline to come to London, according to the Times, be- cause they say Great Britain is not impartial. They also object to the admission to the conference of dele gates from the Baltic states, saying Russia already has made peace with them
 AS to Poland, the bolsheviIx govern ment points out that the proposed arTnistice line is unfair to Poland, and that with direct negotiations, the bol- sheviki are prepared to grant Poland a much more favorable frontier.
 The reply refuses flatly to entertain any conditions regarding the forces of General Wrangel and the refugees in south Russia and demands their un- conditional surrender.
 The tone of the reply is sarcastic says the Times which declares it is aimed at driving a wedge between Po- land and the allies by stimulating Polish dissatisfaction at the British proposal. The Times adds it believes the reply will make it more difficult for Great Britain to enter into trade relations with Russia.

 Wilson testified that when the strike in Seattle was called February 6, 1919, he was employed by Fred N. Nelson. a member of the metal trades council of that city, and that his first duty was the printing and circulating of 10000 posters and hand bills among sailors and soldiers. One of these bills showed a discharged soldier with empty pockets, reading:
 'Where do we go from here? Join the Workers, Soldiers and Sailors Council. Together we win"
 Another poster had a picture of a capitalist with a stack of money be- hind him, labeled, "War profits" The poster was headed Russia did it."
 Wilson also told of the formation of the Soldiers, Sailors and Workmen's council. T was in uniform when ! was elected delegate" he said. 'Prac- tically every organization in Seattle was represented. There were various I. w. W. organizations.
 ''The council met January Is. A re- port was read by one delegate in which he said: T am bolshevist and proud of it. I have only one flag, and that is the red flag"
 The witness was asked by MT. Com erford if anything was said regarding the taking over of the government. Yes" he replied They said we are to take over all the industries and control the government. This was to be accomplished by strikes" Chaotic conditions in Seattle the day the general strike was called were de- scribed. He said the strike order read:
 "Au men must stand ready to ac- complish> the things set forth by the Soldiers and Sailors and Workmen's Council and with this completed the council will take the reins." Ole Hanson will testify after the cross examination of Wilson is com pleted.

IRepubIican 4. p. Leased Wirel

LINCOLN. Neb., July 19-The Pro- hibition party is preparing for a fight to a finish in the coming presidential campaign, according to w. c. Calder national committee. Many delegates have arrived for the national conven- tion which opens Wednesday.
 Delegates are unanimous in the declaration that William Jennings Bryan and Billy" Sunday are the question of whether MT. Bryan will consent to head the party's ticket now is uppermost.
 '1f Mir Bryan wants the nomination he can have 1t by holding his head" said MT Calderwood today. and if he doesn't want it we probably will force it on him. His recent statement ir The Commoner that a man must ac cept such an honor if it is offered him is looked upon by us as tantamount to a declaration that he will accept"
 Neither Mir Bryan nor MT. Sunday are expected to attend the convention and neither has yet siguified whether he would be willing to run.
 MT. Calderwood today issued a statement in which he said that the only thing which could avert a ma tional Prohibition ticket would be a clear statement by Senator Harding or Governor Cox opposing any changes in the eighteenth amendment"
 We consider such a statement as impossible, however" he continued, "and we are preparing to go to the mat in the coming campaign. We are going to name a ticket which will draw hundreds of tbousands of votes"
 Other possible candidates include:
 Dan A. Polling, 35-year old inter national president of the Christian En- deavor society, who was gassed over seas; Clinton N. Howard of Rochester, N. F.; Robert Patton of Springfield, Ills; Charles H. Randall, representa- tive in congress from California, and Virgil G. HinshaW of Chicago.
 Delegates express the opinion that a woman may be chosen for the vice presidential nomination.
 About 350 delegates are expected.

 The estimate of S63, ,625, 900 is about million dollars less than the assessment taxable property last year Most of the decrease is due to the reduction of S4 100 900 allowed on the New Cornea cOmpany's property by the state tax commission. An increase of about S3 GOO 900 would have been likely had the re- duction not been granted the company.
 The abstract must be approved by the tax commits sion before tax collection can be started.

The mills have been closed one week, throw ing 15, 900 workers out of employment.
 Mayor W. P. White, in a statement, said:
 If MT. Wood had intelligent advisors, he would not give a 15 per cent wage advance to his workers and then in few weeks throw them out of work; nor would he give them pink teas with peanuts and cheese one week and put them out of work the next.
 MT. Wood has entertained many thousands at his estate in the last few weeks with music and cheese; now some are starving. l will support the president of the American Woolen company when he is right but I do not want to open soup kitchens in this city,

 When this will come" he added, mo one can state positively" Concerning the causes of the shut down, the letter said: Last February, when we opened our goods for the season, we took orders sufficient to run our mills on full time ] for six months. Since that date more
 than one third of these orders have been cancelled. No new orders of any substantial amount have come in for many months. The result is that at | least two months work for our mills | has been lost"
 i MT. Wood said the opinions differed as to what caused the cancellation of | orders, and the stagnation of the in- dustry.
 The margin of our profit as fixed ] last February" he said, would not permit a reduction in the price of cloth. 1 It is fact, that the average profit of 1 this company on the cloth that goes to make up a suit of clothes selling any ] where from $60 to $50 or more dee not exceed one dollar"

ON LABOR UNIONS
NECESSARY TO RESTORE PER-
SoNAL TOUCH BETWEEN EN-
FLOWERS AND WORkINGMEN.

Justification of labor unions, under
present industrial conditions, as a
means of defense and a device of rep
resentation is argued in a pamphlet,
capital and Labor: Methods of Har-
mony and Cooperation soon to be is
sued by the department of social ac-
ton of the National Catholic Welfare
Council
1t is urged by the authors of the
pamphlet that labor's right to bargain
collectively is beyond reasonable ques-
ton and that the union affords a
scheme for organized representation of
individual workers in dealing with
their employers. One of the main eco
nOmic causes Of industrial friction,
says the pamphlet, is the absence of
personal cooperation between en-
ployer and employee in modern indus
try. The employer is unable to form
and preserve personal contact with
more than a small fraction of his en-
ployees. He is compelled to regard
them as a collection of productive
units.
The lost personal relationship can
be restored, the pamphlet indicates,
only through organization and the de-
vice of representation, at least in the
larger concerns.

CztCHO -SLOvAK ELECTIONS
CATHOLIC POPULAR PARTY WINS
BY BIG MAJORITY.

The recent elections in CZecho- Slo-
vakia amounted in fact to a desperate
struggle between the Czecho-Slovak
Catholic Popular Party against it's
combined opponents. The other par
ties were also contending, but there
was some kind of agreement among
them, whether Social Democrats, Ma
tional Socialists, National Democrats,
or Agrarians; for they had common
bond, if not very noble one, which
was to swamp if possible the Catholic
Party, which had come forward with
definite Christian program.
The result Of the elections was a
matter for congratulation to the Cath
Ollie Czechs and Slovaks, and a set
back for their opponents. The Catho-
lie Popular Party not only managed
to hold all it's voters in the communal
elections Of the past year, but it sue
ceeded in doubling that number. AT
the previous election the party claim
ed 257,795 voters; in the recent cleo
ton it polled some 462,684 votes.
