Adverse Trend i'm
Trade of Japan
Shows Increase
Unfavorable Balance for the
Past Year More Than Five
Times That of 1919; U. S.
Shipping Has Made Gains

Marked declines in both exports and
imports were recorded in the foreign
trade of Japan during December. Ex-
ports amounted to only 67,873000 yen,
as against 1o4,OOo,oOo yen for Novem-
Der, which in turn was some 30,000,000
yen less than for October
December imports amounted to 3d.
6S3,000 yen, as compared with 107,o00,-
900 yen each for November and
October.
These December figures bring the
total exports of Japan for 1920 to
1928 s64 900 yen and imports to $780,
7l2.000 yen, thus constituting an un-
favorable ba a'ance Of trade for the year
of 39l ,84a 600 yen, which compares
with an unfavorable balance for 1919
of 74,441,o 900 yen, resulting from total
exports of zoos 900 yen and i'm
ports of 2,l73,314 900 yen.
During the last quarter of 1920 ex-
ports amounted to 305, ,67S 900 yen and
imports to 29s,39s,OO0 yen. producing
q favorable balance Of trade for the
quarter of 9,2SO0O0 yen, while for the
corresponding quarter Of 1919 exports
eq"aled 721 ,279,oo0 yen and imports
5SS 225 900 yen, resulting in a favor
able bal nee for that quarter of 1885,
054 600 yen. The totals fo the year
1920 are as follows.

A comparison Of the figures showing
American goods coming into the port
Of Kobe in Japanese and American
steamers indicates to what extent
american goods are being shipped in
American bottoms.
Such goods entering Kobe in Japa-
nese ships in 1918 amounted to over one
and one-third million tons and some
thing over one million tons in 1919,
but only $4,000 tons for the first half
OF 1920.
Imports bv Amer San steamers, how
eyer, rose from $4,000 tons in 1918 to
$4,000 tons in 1919 and nearly 418,ooO
tons in the first half of 1920.
Much of the same ratio pertains To
the export trade, goods to America by
Japanese steamers having dropped
from 100000 tons in 1918 to 245.00O
tons for the first half of 1920. Export
goods in American steamers rose from
1000 tons in 1918 to $1,000 tons for
the first half of 1920.

places, where they confiscated wines
and whiskies valued at $4,000.
The Menorah company's warehouse
is four-story brick building next door
to the notorious resort conducted
years ago by Steve Brodie. In the cell
lar the agents found two watts, with a.
capacity Of 1000 gallons each. Most
of the liquor taken was stored on the

for bottling and casing wines.

fall while attempting to make a one

his physicians early tonight.
Lieut.. Coney was rational through

say the chances are greatly against

further Improvement in his condition.
Drs. Charles Chamberlain and J. S.

The artillery shelled the communists
who were grouped on the hills to the
west of Eisleben, dispensing them.
After brief engagement the town
of Sangerhausen, southwest of Elsie

which now control that place.
Count Poninski, colonel of police in
the Mansfield district, has taken charge
of the operations around Eisleben.
Eisleben is quiet and the town is
under control of the police. Reports
from Bitterf1eld say the authorities
have suppressed the revolt The only
fighting has been near Sangerhausen,
where a workmen's armored train was
held up and an engagement ensued, a
few men being killed or wounded. The

CHICAGO, March 2S.-The petition
of 1000 employees on 81 short line
railroads for wages and working condi-
tions identical with those on the
trunk lines of the country was dis
missed by the United States railroad
labor boar dtoday.
The case was heard last fall on the
request of 15 unions that the wage
scales and national working agree
ments on the standard railroads be
applied to the short lines. Because Of
the diversified duties of the short line
employees, the board declared that it
was impracticable to determine what
reasonable rules shall be on the short
lines, and without a uniform classifica-
ton of work the board declared it
could not undertake to determine rea-
sonable wages.
