RADICAL IN
JAPAN Is GROWING
Head of Biggest Organization

Tries to Check Trend.

TOXIC. Dec. I7-Eviderce OF the
rrowth OF labor aEitations IN Japan
Is shown By a recently issued report
of the japanese police. which shows
2O7 strikes ST. six months. involving
40.245 workers Ten years ago such
aguras would have been impossible
IN this country. but today It IS very
much expected 10 hear OF ar least one
or :vo new strikes or strike threats
each week In many cases they are
not small groups, but involve instead
leading arms Of the empire.
Within the last six months period
there have been strikes ranging from
those involving cake makers 20 those
seriously affecting the great ships
row building for the imperial Japan
csc navy. The degree 90 which the
agitatious have affected japanese in
dustry has varied. but IN some cases

the cabinet have been visited by gi-
tators, and today. with Bunji Suzuki,
head Of the Yuaikai. Japan's biggest
labor organization, awaiting trial for
violation OF the press laws. the entire
business in the country Is assuming
a serious aspect.

most violent agitation has been car

before Il IS too late just how serious
are her labor troubles. The japanese

IL has been alleged recently that
the japanese government. through
the home Office. has taken cognizance
OF the labor danger IN the empire.

known as the Gompers OF Japan"
is the immediate result II is claimed
that the home office hopes to cause
suzuki so much trouble that his fol-

Whether or not this IS true is not
known. but Il is certain that govern
mental authorities are gradually
realizing that the real labor danger
was not in the preliminary strike
troubles. but rather in the deeper
antt-oapitalist feeling that may come
later.
Strikes called in the chemical in
dustry in Japan come first in num-
Der for the six months period. 81

NARY GRAHAM BONNER
MlRIAM'S OLD CLOTHES.

Miriam did feel the jeers and the
smokers and the whisperings Of the
other little girls in school. Oh, yes.
she knew when they got off in the cor
ner of the cloak room that they were
talking about the patch in the back OF
her coat and the old worn shoes she
wore and the sailor suit which shOne-
not with brightness, but with old age.
Often Miriam wished to be bird.
Birds never had their clothes patched.
Birds mOulted, 1t was true, but they
never wore patches, and after the
mOulting season was over they were
CARRIED so trinity and so smartly.
After her mOulting season was over
after her clothes had proved by ev-
cry look and sign that they were so
very old-she did not come forth in
new, smart, pretty things. Oh. no, she
and the birds did not act alike In the
least!
But 1t was hard in schoo.-there was
no mistake about it. Crown-ups al

kind little creatures-unless of course
they told stories" and ate candy when
they were forbidden 1t.
Miriam knew differently. She knew
that there were other things children
could do besides being disobedient.
They could be cruel. Oh yes, they
could tease and make fun and smoker
and stare and it was cruel-that was
the truth!
Wherever she was 1t went with her.
1t was worse than horrible shadow.
1t was something real and something
from which she could not escape. The
part that hurt most was that her fam
lily had said a great deal about not
being able to afford anything this
spring, but they didn't know that she
too had been suffering. They didn't
know it was hard for a little girl in
school.
1t was one Sunday night when she
was going to bed that her feelings
seemed almost unbearable. She put
her clothes on the old blue chair as
she always did the night before-then
she could dress so much more quickly
in the morning and also have that
much more time for pleasant sleep!
And as she looked at her clothes
she felt angry-hot with anger. How
she hated that old sailor hat and those

old shoes which Gimply refused to be
covered with backing in way to
hide the shabbiness. How she hated
them all. In the morning again would
begin those looks toward her--thOse
locks which said quite plainly that
they wondered If she were never going
to have anything new to wear!
AS her eyes filed with tears at the,
thought OF the next day she heard her
mother and her father talking. She
had been q long, long time In her room.
They had evidently thought she was
sound asleep, for though their voices
were low she could hear them.

day and can remember that children
were not always kindly about such
things"
Ard then came her fathers voice:
"But you know. DEAR" he said, IF we
hadn't had that money in the savings
bank we wouldn't have dreamed of
suggesting to the doctor that you take
baby down South. And you know he
said that saved her life'

and those repairs, as had planned.
But It is hard for little Miriam to have
to suffer-" And her mothers voice
ended In a sob.
Miriam closed her door very quietly.
She. couldn't bear to hear any more.
But she looked at the old shabby
clothes ON the chair. Then she went
over to them and buried her head In
the old shabby sailor suit.
