FEAR SECOND WAR
 BY RUSSIA, JAPAN
By Charles Edward Hogue.

By Charles Edward Hogue. (United Press Staff Correspondent
 Harbin, Manchuria, March 18.-
 War is brewing in the far east-and
 it may not be without grave import in the United States.
 Of course wars of a certain kind are novelty out here, but the impend- ing conflict promises to go far be- yond the less serious affairs the east has come to call wars and which have kept siberia, Manchuria and China in a constant turmoil for years.
 Japan and red Russia are at each others throat. The final clash may come at any moment. Again, it may be avoided-sincere patriots in each country are doing their utmost to pre- vent another Russo-Japanese war But the outlook is not bright.
 The first signs of spring will un- doubtedly see development, one way or the other, in the problem.
 General Takayanagi, Japanese chief of staff in Siberia, has admitted the gravity of the situation. He said in an interview that he had heard of plans in soviet Russia for an attack on the Japanese, but that he did not wish to consider them as authorized. But he added: Japan is ready"
 It is known that the Chita govern ment has received word from Moscow to take a more aggressive stand agaist Japan and China. Three rea- sons for this order as apparent.
 l. Closing of the Manchurian border has been severe blow to the soviet.
 ?. Conditions in red Russia make the re-opening of trade relations with other eastern nations of vital imuort- ance.
 3. Leaders of the soviet fear the dissolution of the red army, unless it can be employed in another war.
 There are reports, however true they are can only be speculated on, that a union is being formed between Ataman Semonoff, Chang Tso-lin, who is probably China's strongest militar- ist, and the Japanese high command at Mukden. If these stories are cor rect a concerted drive against the reds in Siberia may begin early this spring. Reports have it that Chang Tso-lin has agreed to restore to the Semenoff and Kappel armies the arms and ammunition which was taken from them when they were driven across the Manchurian border by the then victorious reds.
 In the meantime, comparative peace reigns in China. The southern fac tion is holding a session of parliament at Canton while the Chilnites, who deposed the Anfu military party at Peking, continue their reign in the North. Both have inactive armies in the field. The only battles being fought are skirmishes between rowing guerilla bands.

THE LAeoRER AND HIS HIRE.

(Mining and Scientific Press)
Prior to 1898 a first class brick ma
son working under average conditions
received - cents per hour for his
work and laid 1900 bricks per day.
Since then wages have increased
gradually to 81 per hour but the daily
performance of a mason is measured
10y the laying of from 400 to 500
bricks 1t is true the S-hour working
day was not in vogue in 1898, but it is
also true that most masons today
could lay from 1000 to 1900 without
excessive exertion. The reason why
they do not may be found in the tacit
but none the less rigidly observed
regulations made by the Brick Masons
and Plasterers international Union,
whereby a maximum allowable daily
stint is established. Since 1898 this
maximum has been arbitrarily reduc
ed by successive steps; in 1906 it was
1000: in 1915, 700; in 1919, 600. Brick
masons. of course, are not peculiar in
this regard; the same condition pre-
vails in nearly all of the labor unions,
and it is this policy that is driving
employers toward the open shop. The
payment of wages on a scientific ba
Sis recognizes two principles namely,
that the minimum wage should be ad
msted 10 meet the cost of decent liv-
ing. and that the earnings of differ
cnt individuals should vary with the
competence and industry of the work

quality of his output The labor
unions ignore the second principle
and advance the theory that the work
accomplished by the least slIillful and
the least energetic shall be the meas
urc of the work done by all. That
labor unions have a place in our eco
nomic system and that they have
been instrumental in correcting in
Justice on the part of employers that
otherwise would never have been cor
rected must be admitted; but the
principle of restriction of individual
output is unsound. and if maintained
it will result in harm to the working
man himself We believe that an in
drs,rial system will ultimately be de-
veloped under which the interests of
the employer and the employe will
agree rather than conflict; when even
the least competent can earn an ade-
quote living if he is conscientiously
Industrious: when each individual
win find an incentive to do his best
work at all times; and when the en-
ployer viii find it profitable to pay
high wages Such a program is easy
to plan and difficult to accomplish;
hut therein lies the hope of future in
3ustrial prosperity.

CONGRESS AND THE SOLDIERS
BONUS BILL.

At this time it appears to be alto
eether probable that congress will
pass the soldiers bonus bill, and thus
place an additional burden Of from
two to five billion dollars upon the
taxpayers of the nation. The people
of the United states desire the most
liberal provision for those who are in
any way incapacitated through ser
vice OF their country in the world
war. and this has been their attitude
following all wars. To those who
served in the army or navy in previ-
oas wars and returned home un-
scathed. the government has always
shown it's gratitude in making them a
preferred class in the public service,
allowing them credit for military SER
vice under the homestead law, and in
MANY other ways giving them advan-
tages as an evidence Of appreciation

A question Of professional moral
ity has been raised in connection with
the employment by the Dupont COM
pany. at high salaries, of two expert
dye chemists, recently arrived from
Germany These gentlemen were re-
leased from Ellis Island on January D.
after an investigation had been made
b. the immigration authorities, Iol-
lowing the receipt OF a protest from
Germany against their detention. Il
is reported that warrants We're issued
ior their apprehension in the father
lana, and these they succeeded in
evading. This official interference IS
interpreted as move to prevent the
development Of a dye industry in this
country that would interfere with the
German export trade. Germany is
cbagrined at the dislOyalty of her
scientists. The Dupont company, &C
ding to the press, has issued a
statement excusing its action on the
grounds that the Germans were need
ed "tO interpret and help put into
practical operation the processes and
formulate covered by the patents seiz-
ed when this country went to war
With Germany. In many cases the
records filed with the patent office
are incomplete, giving misleading in
formation and are otherwise so craft
lily devised that only a German chem
list can put them into practical use.
The American chemist has already
solved so many of the problems in
volved in the manufacture of dyes
that about all that is needed from
Germany is the worker experienced
in the manufacturing end of the bust
ness" This explanation is somewhat
inconsistent with the fact that Dr.
Otto Runger and DR.. Joseph Flach-
lander are evidently of the expert
class. The salary to be paid each for
their services here is rumOred to be
$4,000 per annum, and may be even
more, for no denial of the more mod
est estimate has been forthcoming

CITIZEN AND POLICE.
(Pittsburg Dispatch)

(Pittsburg Dispatch
Dr. Juda p Magnes, the distin-
guished rabbi of New York, brought
out a point in police court, where he
had been fined for "disorderly con-
duct" laying the foundation for an
appeal to a court of review and pos
sible change in routine police prac-
tice He was informed by the magis
trate that he was within his rights as
citizen to ask a policeman why he
was arresting two young girls, but
had chosen a poor time to exercise his
privilege. DR.. Magnes was arrested
for declining to move on" when or
deled by the policeman, who refused
to tell why he had arrested the girls.
Obviously if a citizen has the privi
lege to ask a policeman why he is
making an arrest, the policeman is
bound by that privilege to answer and
close the incident so far as the citi-
zen is concerned.
American cities are the only places
in the world where citizens are for
hidden TO exercise the privilege of
speaking to a policeman in the dis
charge of his duty For some reason
never made clear the ordinary Am
erican policeman seems to regard
every citizen as an active or poten-
tial disturber To dare to ask him
why he is doing anything is, in police
theory. equivalent to hitting him with
Brick. Dr. Magnes proposes to find
ont what use the right to speak to a
policeman is if citizen dares not ex-
ercse it without the certainty of ar
rest and fine for "disorderly conduct"
The issue may seem small but is
worth settling, not only for New York
but all large cities, to give the police
man a more courteous conception of
his position.

Grinding, polishing and blast sands
are used to make smooth the rough
places on metal. glass, stone and 9TH
e. hard substances. Blast sand is
clean. tough, sized sand, composed Of
either round or angular grains which
is driven by compressed air through
hose for such purposes as cleaning
metal castings and dressing stone. In
gun shops. locomotive and car shops
and most other places where heavy
metal castings are made, the sand
blast is used to clean off parts of the
mold that adhere to the castings The
size of sand used differs according to
the character of the duty it is to per
form.
Fire or furnace sand is highly re-
rractory silica sand for lining fur

foundries. About 100000 tons of this
sand is used annually in the United
States.

Some Facts You Should Know Re-
garding Deductions.
Numerous errors in claims for de-
auctions have been discovered in tax
PAYERS returns.
To be allowed deductions for losses
must be confined to the following
classes: Losses sustained in trade or
business; losses sustained in transac-
tions entered into for profit, though
NOT connected with a trade or bust
ness; losses sustained of property not
connected with trade or business If
arising from fires. shipwreck, storms
or other casualty. or from theft. To
the extent of any of the above losses

tbe> are not deductible.
TO be allowed as a deduction in the
return for 1920 a loss must have been
actually sustained during that year. A
taxpayer may feel certain that real
estate owned by him is worth less
than what he paid for it. A merchant
may be convinced that certain stock
can not be sold unless marked below
cost In neither event however, is he
entitled to a claim for deduction until
the loss is made absolute by sale or
other disposition of the property.
Claims for losses must conform
closely to the wording of the statute
A loss sustained in the sale of an au-
tomobile purchased for personal use
is not deductible, because it is not a
transaction entered into for profit
A loss sustained by a taxpayer in the
sale of his home is not deductible for
the reason that ordinarily when
man buys a residence and moves into
it he has no intention of selling and
has not entered into a transaction
for profit"

to country. Possibly this judgment is
too severe. If it is. then it is up to
the world war soldiers who have urg-
ed this unjustihable measure upon
congress to disclaim responsibility for
# and demand it's withdrawal. If they
do not, then they can not successful
ly dispute the assertion made by
Senator Thomas. of Colorado, who
said in discussing the bonus:
This bill subordinates duty to
the sordid and degrading influ-
ence Of pelf and profit makes the
army an agency for the extortion
of money from the citizens and
places the republican soldier up
on a level with the mercenary
soldier of fortune or adventure"
We can not bring ourselves to be
lieve that a majority in both houses
Of congress will support this bill nor
do we believe that any number ap-
preaching a majority of the world
war veterans approve of it.
