The Eastern Star Minstrel,
produced under the direction Of
Mr.. G. Green, presented a
thoroughly attractive production
to q small but appreciative audi
ence at the Central School
Auditorium on last Wednesday
evening. The setting was pretty
and the chorus was unusually
good for an amateur perfor-
nance.
Among the many attractive
song hits were Nanny" sung
by Mr.. Glover; Strut Miss
Lizzie, Miss Temple; Miss
Chafin and quartette, Real
Kind Mama, Mr.. Faison; pray
for Lights, Mr.. C. Green.
Mr.. c. Green's black face
monologue was humorously given
and provoked hearty applause.
The Quartette composed Of
Misses Temple and Chafin and
Messrs. Glover and Wafford was
exceptionally good. Miss Will
liams in an "Old Maid Mono
logue" kept the audience laugh
ing during its presentation.
The second part of the minstrel
consisted of a burlesque military
act entitled "The Conscription-
lists" produced by practically the
entire cast was a big scream from
start to finish.

They recite frequent instances where
similar projects have been eummarily
put down by military power. which up
to date has not been exerted. Suzuki
the labor leader, is one OF those who
believes that the Kobe strike is merely
the beginning of q new era in ia
pan. He regards the disarmament,
conference as an important factor In
1t. He has already urged upon the
Government to include representa-
tive of labor in the Japanese delega-
ton to the washington conference
The suggestion that he do SO came
from Samuel Gompers.
Discussing the labor movement IN
Japan with me the other day Mr..
6uzuni said:
"A strike such as that at Kobe
would have been put down in ten days
by the Government a few years ago.
believe the Government was wise In
not attempting to put this one down
In the same way, because such an act
might have invited more serious con-
fiict between the workers and the en-
ployer class. I believe that the strike
will result In the organizing Of both
Industrial and agricultural workers
The former will naturally lead the
way because the agriculturalists lack
the facilities for accomplishing cohe-
sion that are enjoyed by industrialists
Primarily, the Kobe strike was q
protest against the injustice of the
way in which Japanese labor has beer
treated by the employer class. The
Japanese worker was not permitted tc
share in the fruits OF the war. His
wages. pathetically small as compared
with those paid to tho artisans OF
other countries. remained stationary
In the meantime the cost Of living
compelled him to exist on improper
and inadequate food and to live under
the most distressing conditions. In
the second place, the Kobe strike was
very important because it will eventu.
ally result In better relations between
labor and capital, compelled by the
former. great many Of the leading
men in this country have indicated
their sympathy with it."
While the Kobe strike was the most
important that has occurred in Japan
in many years. 1t is not the only one
inspired by the same general cause
inadequate pay and excessive living
expenses. Since January 1 there have
been sixty-three strikes each affect
ing more than 1000 men, the largest
number OF strikers in any one trade
being 10000 previous to the Kobe out
break
At the end Of 1919 the number Of
workers employed in the factories Of
Japan totalled 1,720.000. On the first
Of January last unofficial estimates
placed the number at 1.140.000. De-
spite the decrease in the number of
workers, plus 100000 unemployed for
various causes, there is little or no

Rice, which constitutes the chief
feature of food upon which the la
boring classes live, now retails at s
per pound, in 1914 It was sold for 3
per pound. Clothing, which Is q very
simple matter in Japan, has increased
about $50 per cent. Dried fish. which
three years ago sold for 4 cents a
pound is now 10.
The daily wages paid to laborers OF
the coolie class and the workers in
the shops and offices in the cities is
woefully small as compared with those
paid to men engaged in the same oc-
cupations in the United States.
Steel workers, iron workers and car
penters receive maximum OF $3.50
a day, cobblers $1.25, hatters 81, ma
sons $3.50, harness makers $3.50, cab
met makers $3.50. tinsmiths $1.15,
blacksmiths $1.25, building laborers
s1.10, day laborers 81.
In the United States the workers
employed in any one OF these lines
receive a minimum Of Sc per day.
Japanese farm laborers are paid a
maximum of $1.50 a day. The most
efficient japanese servants get $40 a
month with board. The jinriksha men
are among the best paid in the classi-
fled labor groups. They make from
81 to SO o day.
