land Growing intense Az ses-
s'ons Progress; Japan Well
Pleased With Conference

Washington - The conference of
washington il practically over. All
that remains to be done Is minor and
despite present superficial quarrels and
chickering's. the results could be written
today. These results will be:
!, The Limitation of naval conatruc-
tion, plus measurably scrapplng the ex-
listing units.
z. The postponement and not impos-
slbly the prevention Of an American
japanese war.
3. The acceptance on the part of
each country of a set Of abstract prin-
ciples In the far east without any form
OF guarantee for their application.
4. In some way. not yet quite clear,
the elimination of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance.
The price of the first achievement
Is the surrender by the United States
of the power placed in its hands by
the last war to become the supreme
naval country of the world.
The price of the second result will
be the recognition Of the special rights
and interests of Japan in all Of the far
east, but particularly in Manchuria
suchrecognition duly testified to by the
surrender on the part q Great Brit
ain and the United States of that nav
al power which would permit success
full challenge.
The price which the United States
will receive In return for the accept
ance OF the third point will be ia
panese agreement to retire from Shan
tung and from Siberia. The disappear
ance of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
will be the compensation that Mr..
Hughes will receive for not pressing
the far eastern question as it had been
expected it would be pressed in the
beginning.
These results will be regarded in the
United States as u great victory for
Mr. Hughes and for American diplomacy
on the continent of diplomacy. On the
continent of Europe the Washington
conference has already been hailed as
a victory for British diplomacy even
more completed and far-reaching than
that of the Paris conference.
In Great Britain there will be tend
ency to depreciate British achievement
and regret that no greater curb has
been placed on Japan, no serious effort
made to reduce French arms, and fin
ally no closer association between the
United States and Great Britain &C,
tually arranged. Nevertheless, the
British people will rejoice in the es
cape from a naval competition with
the United States, which they coulC
not afford, or from voluntary surren
der of sea supremacy to which the!
could not reconcile themselves.
Not improbably the Washington con
ference will be instantly attacked b!
many so-called liberals the world ovel
as offering no relief for existing af
Elections of the world and representing
no forward step toward internationa
association or toward the league of ma
lions.

off" system which was modified and the
operators were not permitted to check of"
from the miners pay unjust fines assessed
against him by his local union. Another
order had reference to the discount charged
miners for money advanced between pay
days. A system of charging 10 per cent
OF the advanced payment had grown up.
This in reality amounts to 10 per cent. a
week as the advance was usually made at
the middle of the bi-weekly pay period.
The court ordered minimum charge OF 20
cents and not to exceed per cent. or the
larger amounts.
The third informal order made at this in
vestigation had to do with the price paid
by the miners for explosives and other pit
materials which they are required to pur-
chase from the operators. AS result OF
this investigation also, the court published
in pamphlet form its analysis OF the cost
OF producing coal and of transporting II to
various typical towns in the state. This
work was done under the supervision Oh
the courts chief accountant and gives val
liable information to the pubic IN regard
To the purchase OF coal.
Many Of the less important controversies
which arise in industries have been settled
and adjusted by examiners sent out oy the
court for that purpose. The value OF the
Kansas Industrial act as n repressive meas
ure cannot he accurately estimated, but
there Is no doubt that strikes and other In
dustrial disputes have been averted because
OF the penal features Of the Kansas Indus
trial act In one instance known To sthe

after reading section 10 Of the act, declined
10 serve on the committee and said 10 the
oth,r members: "You boys can run your
heads into that moose IL YOU want TO. but
will not do IT," The strike was not called
and the controversy was settled within the
industry.
There were some sporadic cessations OF
work in the mining district in Kansas In
August 1920. resulting from controversies
between the workers and the employers over
the Interpretation Of trivial provisions Of the
contract of employment. These sporadic
cessations Of work have been widely adver-
tised as strikes in violation Of the Kansas
law. They were nothing Of the kind. The
Industrial Court made an investigation OF
these alleged strikes and found that the pro
ductIon OF coal in the district was during al

three men killed for each 10000 employed
In coal mines alone $500 men were killed.
In metal mines ne-quarter of the men at
work sustained an injury during 1918.
In addition TO fatal accidents conservative
estimates show that there were 100000
disabilities due to accidents in occupations
during 1919, or an average of 1000 day.
During 1919 nearly 100000 men were laid up
for over four weeks from non-fatal casual
tics.
The following tables of industrial acci
dent deaths in the United States in 1918 Is
partly estimated but conservatively so:

that time greater than the ability of the
railroads to transport the coal out of the
district. The production of coal and the sup
plying of coal to the State were in way
interfered with and there was no public
interest involved, and the court refused to
take action because it had no jurisdiction.
The matter was settled by Mr.. Lewis, presi-
dent Of the United Mine Workers of America.

OF the local district. and ordered the men

There have been but two strikes called in

called by Alexander Howat and a majority
of the local board This strike was called
ostensibly because OF failure OF a mining
company to pay something like 5000 TO a
member OF the union which claimed
to have been due him because of a failure
to advance his wages at the time they
should have been advanced. The men re-
manned on strike for twelve days and lost
more than $4,000 in wages
The other strike was also a miners strike
called by Alexander Howat and his asso-
ciates, and involved only $50 men. Neither
of these strikes affected the public because
OF the small number of men involved. The
Court of Industrial Relations has no Grim
inal Jurisdiction and no general jurisdic-
ton. II II had not been for the penal
features of the law II Is likely that no ac-
ton would have been taken in either of
these matters. But as the calling of a strike
by labor leaders is, under the terms of the
Kansas Industrial act, unlawful. action was
taken against Mr. Howat and his asso-
ciates.
The calling Of these strikes was in viola
ton Of an injunction issued out OF the
District Court of Crawford county in which
the mines are located. President Howat and
his associates were prosecuted for viola
ton Of this injunction, and in the first
case were sentenced TO one year in jail
each. From that sentence they have ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court Of the State.

this. To the former people pay no heed

accident insurance ordinarily has been over

it with round turn. About decade ago
accident insurance was taken out by persons
in such number that 1t became suddenly

When Slot Machines Dispensed
Accident Policies for Traveller

Then man rarely sent his family to the
seashore, the mountains or back to the old
home for the summer without taking out an
accident insurance policy. This was the
period when one could buy for an nsg-
nifcant sum at the railway station protec-
ton for day. 1t was the period, too, when
the quarter in slot machine delivered the
traveller little card which set forth how
much compensation his family would receive
if he were killed on the journey and what
they would get in case he lost leg, an arm,
an eye, &C. These machines in the East are
obsolete, but not the general desire for in
surance against these misfortunes. Policies
of more staid and sure kind are taken out
nowadays in great number to guard against
untoward accident Any combined report of
