Enumeration in Progress.
The enumeration is in progress
throughout the entire country" said
Mr. Rogers today. "Advices from
the supervisors indicate that dur
ing the first week of the work at
least 20 eco enumerators were start
ed.
We find that in some districts
IL viii be necessary TO postpone the
enumeration because OF weather
conditions. There has been TO op-
position to furnishing the informa-
tion requested by the enumerators.
The supervisors report the COM
pletion OF the enumeration In many
districts. and as rapidly as the en-
umeratOrs turn in their portfolios
they are being examined in the of
flee OF the supervisor and are be-
ing put in shape TO come to Wash
ington. The supervisors have been
instructed to send the schedules as
rapidly as consignments can be
made ready. We therefore natural
~ expect a large amount Of the
work TO reach the office in Wash
ington during the latter part of this
month or the first Of February. but
as a general rule the enumeration
viii be completed throughout the
entire country by the first Of Feb
ruary. 1t will be some time. how
ever. before il Will be finished in the

poned on account of climatic con-
ditiOns.
Organizing Clerks. .
We are now organizing a force
OF clerks who viii be equipped TO
examine the schedules as rapidly
as they are received from the SUI
pervisOrs. These clerks will make
a preliminary count OF the popula-
ton. This preliminary count will
be made public as rapidly as the to-
tails for the cities and the minor
civil divisions are obtained. The

German Industries
In Peace
Only $4,000 LaborerS in
Krupp Works Now
BY CARL ID. GROAT.
Second of Series of Articles.

ESSEN. Germany, (By Mail) The
KrupD works, which formed the
backbone of Germans munitions
supply. are employing today about
the same number Of men as before
the war. This does not represent,
however, the same amount Of bus
mess in the plant as in the pre-war
period, say officials of the works. in
asmuch as the labor situation is al
tered and extra workers are needed
because of the eight-hOur day.
The employment roll before the
war stOod:-in Jul. 1914. the Essen
works properly employed 41.263 and
the outside Krupp works. 4O,11S; in
June 1918. Essen enjoyed 1880
and the outside works, s.641; while
today the roll stands, Essen 44,75S
and outer works, 4O.11S.
Formerly, the Krupp works had
a twelve hour day with two hours
out for meals and rest. The laborer
went 10 work at 6 a. m. and quit at
s D. m. Now in some parts it is
necessary to have three shifts to
keep fires going.
The piece work" system is in
force. This system, gradually COM
ing into effect in Germany again.
appears to work well in the Krupp
plant.
And the spirit among the work
men is altogether better than in
many OF the rest Of Germany's in
dustr.aI works. A generous per-
Centage live In company houses
which would make a middIeclass
American enviOus and would look
like a palace compared to some cor
poration houses in the states.
Then, there is a pension system,
a saving system, general pater1al
air about the place. In fact, the
KrupL. works idea has always been
that Of a sort OF big family. II is
the largest company in the world. I
believe, which is controlled and
practically owned by a single fam
lily. And Essen. a clean, busting,
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS city of 5Q0.-
OCO. is made up mainly Of Krupp
/ reople or Of people whose business
arises from the fact that the Krupp
works are still in existence.
Herr KrupP Won Bohlen and his
wife have made it "a point to retain
their old workers. Men who had
Jobs before the war are on their
| payroIs and those who have lost
out were either the women workers
taken on temporarily or the con-
scripted laborers and foreigners en-
lEaged for the wars duration.
Many Of the workers are men who
have grown gray in the service.
They have the family solidarity
idea. and. this family solidarity idea
has displeased the communists and
radical socialists. for il has so far
frustrated their efforts 10 cause an
unset i'm the industrial fabric OF the
Krupp institution. True. there We're
a few disturbances for g.. day or two
during the revolution. But that Is
past. and for the most part. the
workman goes on reasonably con-
tented with his work.
Virtually no women are employed.
About % percent OF the wartime in
crease was OF women employees. Now
only few are enthusiastically
widows of former employs, who are
given work largely out Of sympathy.

Toxic, November 1.-the students
societies Of three of Tokio's private
universities have organized a meet
ing to be held tonight to discuss the
question, Shall Jaran Fight Amer
ica" VI
The police have twice summoned
committeeman from the students and
tried unsucessfully to persuade them
to change the subject. The present
arrangements are that the meeting
will be held. with many student
orators participating. Applications to
speak have been received from labor
and socialist representatives and
Of patriotic societies.
The striking character of the sub
ject announced for discussion and
news of the unsuccessful police in
reference appear to have insured a
large audience at the meeting, and
forecast of the probable uttefances
indicate that the majority Of orators
are expected to take bellicose view.

The anti ministerial press today
prints attacks on Premier Hara's rec
ent speech on the international sit

clares the premiar's statement that the

the view that such an attitude can

The Kokumin Shimbun questions

SHARP GIVEN TEN YEARS
HE WILL SERVE TIME I'M THE
PENITENTIARY
Number Of Alleged Offenders
Were Brought Into Court
At Faribault

Far1bault, November 16.--Bobby
Egan, alias Nolan, pleaded guilty In
the district court this afternoon and
was sentenced to ten years in the
state prison by Judge A. B. ChiSess.
Egan Is the man who was shot the
night the attempt was made to liber-
ate Sharp and O'Brien from the jail.
Peter O'Brim and his wife each
pleaded guilty to charges Of attempt
ing to assist prisoners to escape, and
were remanded to the custody Of the
sheriff until the court can pass SEN,
tence.
County Attorney Lucius Smith ask
ed for clemency in the case of OBrten
and his wife, stating that investiga-
ton showed that their only connec-
ton with the case was that they lived
In the rooming house in which Sharp
and Egan staged in st. Paul. O'Brien
has served a term In reformatory
and the couple had been married only
month when O'Brien was arrested.
The county attorney recommended
Jail sentences for them.
Givefr Ten Years.
Ten years in the penitentiary Is the
price that will be paid by Clarence
Sharp, who plead guilty this morning
Just as the jury was about to be
drawn for the hearing Of his case.
It Is possible that Sharp thought
it better to plead guilty to the charge
of robbing the Ruge jewelry store and
Let the mattsr rest solely'on his shout
ders, instead Of involving his CO.
workers in proving his innocence,
ter because he was caught the night
OF the robbery with the stolen goods
in his suitcase and on his person.
Sharp did not plead guilty last
week when brought before Judge Chill
dress because he was probably play
ing for time and still had hopes that
his partners who are still at large,
would again try to free him from the
custody of the sheriff. This morning
he gave up and pleaded guilty, blu
he is being closely watched and
heavy guard will be placed over him
until he is delivered to the peniten-
tiary officials.
Three Being Held.
I O'Brien, Nolan and Mrs. O'Brien
are still being held and early this at
ternoon the criminal calendar of the
district had not been changed by
more pleadings of guilty"
The cancellation of Sharp's appear
ance in district court, although a dis
appointment in some respects, does
not wipe out the interest which has
been created. The other trials will
undoubtedly bring forth some inter
esting and valuable information from
illnesses who will be compelled to
testify.
