CHINESE BUY OFF BRIGANDS
Bandit Chieftains, When They Get Too
Powerful, Are Dealt With in
Peculiar Fashion.

Custom has prescribed a convention
al solution of the problem of brigand-
age in China. When a brigand has
gone beyond the orthodox limits In
the terrorizatiOn of the region in
which he operates, the government
sets out to suppress" him. 1t does
SO, in the usual way, by bargaining.
Troops are moved, though not too
close, and negotiations are opened
with the bandit leader. He offers to
go the way of good citizenship in ex-
change for an appointment as gov
ernor of a province. The governor
offers to make him a general. They
compromise on his appointment as
brigade commander with a station
rich and ripe for the plucking. When
negotiations have been satisfactorily
consummated, the government troops
are brought up. They launch an at
tack upon the bandits, fire into the
air for a few minutes and then with
draw. Official proclamation is made
the bandits have been dispersed and
order restored. And the former bandit
chieftain finds that squeeze" is far
more profitable than robbery-and
much less hazardous.
Such is the history Of not few
of the outstanding notables in con-
temporary Chinese public life.

The Shapes of Eggs.

An expert recently entertained the
Geological society of London with a
mathematical discussion Of the differ
ences in the shape Of eggs. few
eggs, like those of the owl and the
tortoise, are spherical or nearly so; a
few, like the grebe's or the cormor-
ants are elliptical, with symmetrical
ends; the great majority, like the
hens, are ovoid, or blunter at one end
than at the other.
The hens eggs are always laid
blunt end foremost Eggs which are
the most unsymmetrical are also eggs
of large size relatively to the parent
birds. The yolks of eggs are spherical,
whatever the form of the entire egg
may be. This is shown to be due to
their being enclosed in fluid, the
"white," which makes the pressure
everywhere on the surface of the yolk
practically constant.

TOWARD PEACE
Powerful Bodies in Move to End
JurisdictionaI Labor
Troubles.
MUST OBEY NATIONAL BOARD
Building Trades Department Of the
American Federation of Labor Is
Party to the Agreement-Car-
penters Oppose Move.

A national agreement designed to
settle the jurisdictional disputes said
to have caused most Of the strikes in
the building industry in the past, was
reached by the Associated General Con-
tractors of America, American Insti-
tute of Architects, Engineering council,
National Building Trades Employers
association and the building trades de-
partment of the American Federation
of Labor through the national board of
jurisdictional awards in it's quarterly
meeting at Washington.
The agreement provides that local
building trade councils shall suspend
unions and refuse to recognize or sup
port unions which fail to abide by de-
cisions of the board.
1t also provides that general con-
tractors and subcontractors shall incor-
pOrate in agreements with union labor
a provision for compliance with all de-
cisions of the board and shall refuse
employment to members of local
unions which do not abide by its de-
cisions. Architects and engineers also
are bound under the agreement to in
sert in all their specifications and con-
tracts a clause providing that the
boards decisions shall be followed.
The agreement was reached with
adoption Of a report Of special COM
mittee Of the national board of juris-
dictional awards which had been ap-
pointed to outline procedure in connec-
tion with the alleged refusal Of the
United Brotherhood Of Carpenters and
Joiners to conform to decisions Of the
board settling disputes between that
organization and the sheet metal work
ers in favor Of the latter.
The carpenters followed their re-
fusal to abide by this decision, which
involved the setting of sheet metal
trim on doors and windows, 1t was
said, with strikes on big construction
jobs in many parts of the country.
The board at it's meeting also settled
dispute between elevator construc-
tors and electrical workers by award
ing the former Jurisdiction over the
hosting lowering and placing of ele-
vator machinery. The international
presidents of both unions, it was an
nounced, expressed willingness to
abide by the decision.

HARD TO CREDIT THIS STORY
If True. However, It Shows the Re-
markaDle SGbtiety of the Mind OF
the Oriental.

One ingenious if dishonest native OF
account. One~of the European exam
iners of Calcutta university, says Lord
Frederic Hamilton in his book Days
Before Yesterday" told me that there
had been a great deal of trouble about
the examination papers; by some
means or other the native students al
ways managed to obtain what we may
term advance" copies Of the papers.
My informant had accordingly devised
a scheme to stop the leakage. Instead
of having the papers printed In the
usual fashion he called in the services
of single white printer on whom he
could rely. The white printer received
the papers early On the morning of the
day designated for the examination
and duly set them up on hand press
inside the building. He had one as
sistant, a coolie who was clad only in
loin cloth and turban by no possibility
could he conceal any papers about his
person.
LII VI PAO\dulhOAoj AAS"
ever, it soon became clear at the ex.:
animation that some Of the students
had previous knowledge of the ques-
tions. How had they managed it?
Eventually it appeared that the coolie,
taking advantage of the momentary
absence of the white printer, had
whipped off his loin cloth, sat down
on the form" and then replaced his
solitary garment. When he was
obliged to strip on going out the
printing ink did not show on his dark
skin; and all that he had to do was to
sit down on a large sheet Of white
paper for the questions to be printed
off on It, Then, with the aid Of mir
ror, the students could easily read
them. The oriental mind is subtle.

Want Amnesty For
Political Prisoners
(BY Federated Pressl

Chicago-One million persons in the
United States will express to Presi-
dent Harding within the next few
weeks their belief that the ia politi-
cal prisoners remaining in the federal
penitentiaries on war charges should
be granted general amnesty. This is
the goal set by the general defense
committee here, under the direction of
which local committees in 200 cities
are already at work circulating petit
tions addressed to the nations chief
executive.
When at least a million signatures
have been obtained, the great roll
voicing the expression of the signers
will be wound tightly on a reel, put
into stout case, and will be trans
ported to Washington in company
with a delegation of American wo-
men of high standing, individuals
whom President Harding unquestion-
ably would welcome and give ear to,
on whatever mission they might come.
On the day the petition goes to
Washington mass meetings will be
held in many cities to give additional
support to the amnesty plan.
Various delegates to the Chicago
Federation of Labor already have
signed the petition as individuals, and
each one pledged himself to bring the
matter before his local union and the
central body in the immediate future.
The plea to President Harding will
be for the release of the ia political
prisoners in body, this being in keep
ing with the position taken by the ma
jority of those imprisoned.

GENERAL LABOR NEWS

All mines in the Clinton Und) field
were idle when the miners refused to
work because, it was explained, the
miners train into Terre Haute was 20
minutes late.
The Monongahela Coal association,
In session In Pittsburgh, announced
that a new wage scale, representing
reduction of approximately 80 per
cent, would be put into effect upon
the termination of the existing scale.
No "check- off" will be made under the
new scale, 1t was announced.
Two hundred weavers who left their
work at the cotton mills Of the Boston
Manufacturing company, Waltham,
Mass, voted to return. Their action
came after Joseph Adams, agent of
the company, announced that unless
they went back to work the plant
would be closed. The mills, which en-
ploy 1000 persons, recently put into
effect 20 per cent wage cut.
A wage increase of So weekly was
granted to International Typographical
union members working in newspaper
plants at Quebec, Canada. Working
conditions and hours were not affected
in the settlement, which was drawn at
a conference of workers and employ
ers. The new scale provides 500 for a
48-hour week for day shift men and
$31 for 45-hour week for night shift
men.
The Province of Quebec has gone on
record as opposed to the wide powers
exercised by international unions In
Canada. The point was taken as re-
suit of job printers strike, including
printers doing government work, which
for time threatened cessation Of work
by newspaper printers. The strike was
ordered by the International Typo
graphical union with headquarters at
Indianapolis.
A three-year agreement between the
Presbrey Leland company and the
Barre (Vt.) branch, Granite Cutters
International association, settling the
existing wage controversy so far as 1t
affects that company, was announced.
The agreement which has the approval
Of the international executive commit
tee Of the association, provides wage
of 81 an hour for five eight-hour days
week and -FOUR hours on Saturday,
except in winter, when there will be
no. Saturday work.

Ask For Adjustment
Of "Third Degree
[By Federated Press)

New York - If a memorandum
drafted by the City Club of New
York City is accepted and carried out
by the legislature the "third degree"
will be abolished as a police practice,
or at least reduced to a minimum.
The memorandum recommends that
changes be made in the state constitu-
tional amendments which would pen
alize the use of forcible or brutal
methods of obtaining confessions" by
the police; and it urges the enactment
of a law providing that no admission
on confession by an accused person,
unless made in writing to magistrate
or other member of his staff, shell be
accepted in evidence against the ac-
cused.
Clubbings, "black jackings," kick
ings, and every kind of brutality have
become so common by the New York
police that within the last month this
practice has been denounced from the
bench by number of judges. With
in a few days, so frequently have the
police resorted to this means of ex-
torting Confessions" several juries
have refused to convict on the evi-
dence of policemen.
In Pittsburgh, Pa, an order was is
sued month ago by the superin-
tendent Of police prohibiting further
use of the "third degree" methods OF
obtaining confessions. The action re.
suited from the acquittal of numbers
of accused persons from whom "con-
fessions" had been extorted in this
way, their confessions" having been
thrown out of court.
