RADICAL LAB 0 R NOW STRONG
 IN JAPAN
Head of Biggest Labor Or ganization in Jail While Government Tries to Quiet Agitation All Over Empire.

Tokio, Dec 12.-Evidence of the growth of labor agttatfons in Japan is shown by a recently-tssued report of the Japanese police, which shows BOT workers. Ten years ago such figures would have been impossible in this country, but today it Is very much expected to hear of at least one or week. In many cases they are not small groups, but involve instead leading firms of the Empire.
 Within the last six months period there have been strikes ranging from those involving sake makers to those seriously affecting the great ships now building for the imperial Japan ese navy. The degree to which the agfntations have affected Japanese in duStry haas varied, but in some cases the official residences of members of the Cabinet have been visited by agi- tators, and today, with Bunti Suzuki, head of the Yuaka1, JapanS biggest labor organization, awaiting trial for violation of the press laws, the entire business in the country is assuming a serious aspect.
 A foreign observer, interested in the labor ills of the Empire, recently said, after visits to Koke, Osaka and ' Yokohama, in which centres the most violent agitation has been carried on | Japan had better realize before it is | too late just how serious are her labor J awakening to what labor in other | countries Is accomplishing; he has l had a taste of strikes and of the ease with which pressure may be brought | to bear on Japanese capitalists, many | of whom are actually in the wrong ir | their attitudes He may be quite cas- | fly handled today, but his intention to
 have what is considered his right 1: not forgotten
 | It has been alleged recently tha | the Japanese government, through the | Home Office, has taken cognizance O i the labor danger in the Empire, and | that the holding of Suzuki known a: mediate result.

dimes suggested by hearing Father
Waldron speak In St Paurs r. c.
Church. Father Waldron is an earnest
worker and labors only for the happi-
ness and salvation of his listeners
which is the only true glory that will
outive all others, and shine with un-
dying lustre from generation unto gen

Oh, yes, the Saviour calleth thee.
He speaks in tones OF love;
He tells thee thou mayst freely have
A home with Him above.
A home in that blest holy CLINE
Where all is bright and fair,
Where Jesus and His lood-bought
saints,
Eternal glories share.
Yes, yes. 'tis thee the Saviour calls
And waits to save thy soul
To fill thy heart with joy and peace
To make thy spirit whole.
He left His Fathers throne on high
Such was His love to thee
He came TO this sin-blighted world
Thy guilty soul to free.
'Tis true. thou art a sinful worm,
And bound by Satan's chains;
But Jesus came the lost to save,
The wanderer to reclaim.
He took thy place when on the cross
He shed His precious blood
He gave Himself a ransom there
To bring thee TO Thy God.
He bore the curse that thou shoulds
bear,
He suffered in thy stead;
He conquered death and Satan
power,
In rising from the dead.
And now He stands with open arms
Poor sinners TO receive,
To give eternal life to all
Who in His name believe.
He waits to save thy precious sou
To make thy future bright
To give to thee a place above,
In those blest realms OF light.
Then cast thy every sin away
No longer doubtful be;
Twas sinners Jesus came to save
Arise-He calleth thee.
