Radicals Gain
Among Japs

TOKIO--+Evidence OF the growth
of labor agitation in Japan is
shown by recently issued report
OF the Japanese police, which SHOWS
3O7 strikes in six months, involving
40,245 workers. Ten years ago such
figures would have been impossible
in this country, but today 1t is very
much expected to hear of at LEASE
one or two new strikes or strike
threats each week. In many cases
they are not small groups, but IN
voive instead leading firms OF the
empire.
Within the last six months period
there have been strikes ranging
from those involving safe makers
TO those seriously affecting the
great ships now building for the I'M
periab Japanese navy. The degree
TO which the agitations have al

China Now Has

SHANGHAI, China - suffraglsts
in China?
In contrast to the modern Chinese
flappers, with their dancing steps.
bohbed hair and cigarets. are the
educated young women, many re
turned students, who are fighting
for the freedom OF the women OF
China.
Realizing that, while o compare
lively small group of chinese girls
have come in touch with western
civilization, the lives of thousands
and thousands of women in the in
terror go on day by day as did the
lives of their grandmothers, the
China National Women's federation
is launching nationwide fight for
the freedom of all classes OF Chinese
women.
The demands OF the federation.
which are being published in Chi
nese newspapers throughout China,
are as follows:
l.. AS men and women intellectu-
ally are equals and as women, as
well as men. are under the same OBJ
legation to serve society, no educa-
tional opportunity should be denied
to women, and for the sake of con-
venience and economy co-education
should be adopted.
2. with a view to achieving com
niA.a domestic freedom. the fedora
tion must help free the Chinese
women from the yoke of their father
in-law or mother-in-law.
3. Chinese women should demand
the rights of acknowledgements and
participation In practical politics.
4. Prior to the abrogationf of The
private ownership of properties
fwomen should be entitled to equal
rights of inheritance and succession
as enjoyed by men.
| 5..Women should be free to
choose any calling or profession
7. Women claim the right to par
ticipate in all organized movements
conducted by men.
s. Women claim the right to aid
| in combating Imperialism of the ag-
gressive countries.
0. Chinese women desire to CO.
! operate with their sisters in western
lands to all of these ends.
The demands of the federation
are being discussed by the women in
| the Chinese women's clubs. the Re
| turned Student clubs, Woman's Suf-
| frage League of Shanghai. the Girl
! Student Union and at the meetings
conducted by the Y, w. q A. and the
| mission schools and churches.
| The idea of women's clubs, i'm
ported from America, appeals to the
| Chinese women, and, under the lead
ership of influential women, in the
various communities are springlng
/ up like mushrooms throughout
| China. And 1t IL through the little
groups OF women meeting once or
twice a month that any closed doors
are being opened and the ideas OF
progress are entering.

One year ago I, r. Grow, head OF
