Toyio, Sept. 12-With the remark able awakening among Japanese in- dustrial workers, there has recently been noticeable in Japan a growing tendency among tenant farmers to form combinations for the protection of their common interests as against the landlords.
 This is another evidence Of the swift social development in Japan along western ideas
 At the end of March, 1921, such combinations of tenant farmers num- bered 416, with an aggregate mem bership of 4S,5S7. During 192o, 4OS cases of dispute involving 5,2Sa landlords and 34.60O tenant farmers were reported.
 The most frequent cause was de- mand for lower rent.

BOATS WILL NUT PATROL TRAPS
 THIS SEASON

There will be no naval vessels as signed to patrol Alaskan waters in connection with the enforcement of fisheries regulations during the pre- sent season, according to advices re- cieved at the governors office from the department of the Interior. On June ?, prior to his retirement from office Governor Thomas Riggs took this matter up with Secretary Fall by telegraph asking for assignment of eight subchasers and tender.
 Secretary Fall immediately trans mitted the request to the navy de- partment. In response Secretary Den by said that owing to a shortage of both enlisted and commissioned per sonnel and a scarcity of funhs, the navy department is precluded from committing itself to a plan for carry ing on a partol of Alaskan waters in connection with activities having to do with the enforcement of the fisheries laws of Alaska. The department ot commerce, he stated was so advised last October and it was suggested that such department might obtain trans fer of subchasers or other suitable vessels from the navy and operate them as a permanent fish patrol fleet No action, however, was taken by the department of commerce.
 An additional cutter, however, has been added to the coast guard fleet, opearting in Alaskan waters, and It is hoped that another cutter, to make headquarters in Juneau, will be sent north this fall or early winter, accord ing to advices received at the govern or's office.
