RATIFICATION OF 4PoWEh
TREATY BY THE y. 8.
Press OF Japan Gives Space 10 DIE
cusalon OF Various Phases OF the
Treaty as Accepted by Wasn-
inqton a Few Days Ago

Tokio.The japanese press com,
ments fayorably on the ratification by
the United States OF the four-power
treaty, but gives the mo alliance"
reservation adopted by the senate q
mixed reception.
Says the Chuai Shogyo Shimbo
.4The ratification should be credit
ed to President Harding. who, reflect
ing ON the failure of his predecessor
in dealing with the results Of the YER
sailles conference, included Senator
Underwood In the delegation at Wash
ington to provide an aOortiye issue.
"Now that the quadruple treaty Is
ratified, passage OF the supplement
taries-the naval and Chinese treaties
will not be difficult, and the atti-
tude OF the senate may safely be said
to have been decided.
1.-THE reservation Is not likely to
have particular Significance, nor al
ter the international conception of tho
treaty. Settlement Of the attitude of
the American senate toward the treaty
is matter for congratulation and
must be welcomed as forecasting rati'
fication by ALL"
The Hochi Shimbun thinks the res
eryation cannot be made, an excuse
by the other powers TO hesitate In
ratification of the entente, because
the reservation is nothing but an ex-
plicit representation of what the Unit
ed States really meant In reference
to the entente" The newspaper adds :
America had nothing In view in
concluding the entente but abolition
OF the Anglo-Japanese alliance. Main
tenance of the armament limitation
might be Impossible If 1t were not ac-
companied by such an agreement, for.
bidding military alliance or encroach.
ment"
The Nichi Nichi Shimbun declares
the American reservation incompatible
with the spirit of equity that ought
to permeate every international
agreement. 1t adds:
1T must be clearly placed on record
that it is by no means because what
Is done by America is fair and just

ence that no power would dare stant

REDUCED WAGES

RAILROAD HEAD DECLARES FAIL.
URE OF HEALTHFUL LIVING
STANDARD MEANS DlAsTER
Labor Leader Says Wages Are Noe
Money; But Only Pounds OF Lies
Blood to NourIsh Body
OF People

Chicago. The business concern
which cannot meet Its fixed charges Is
bankrupt; failure to provide health
full standard of living for his family
working mans fixed charge means
eventual physical and moral bankrupt
cy to the nation. This was the exiom
on which b. M. Jewell, head Of the
shop crafts unions. based his plea for
workers Tuesday before the United
States railroad labor board.
Figures comparing railroad EN-
ployes expenditures for food with
minimum requirements for bare sub.
sistence as worked out by Professor
NJ. Il. Paffa, food specialist Of the Uni
sersity of California, showed that
railroad mechanics in 1921 were able
to purchase but GA per cent Of the
meat, fish, milk and eggs necessary
for maintenance of their families at
the lowest level Of safety, Mr.. Jewell
said.
| High wages rather than further
cut, were urged on the board by Mr..
Jewell in his fight against the 10 per
cent slash proposed by 205 roads now
before the board. Wages, he asserted,
were "the life blood Of the nation and
reduction OF wages means reduction of
nourishment to the bodies of citizens"
'sThe railroad industry does not to-
day pay living wage to the mechan.
les employed In its shops" said Mr..
Jewell. I'VE have measured the aver.
age monthly earnings of men In the
railroad shops by every possible stand.
ard and In every instance they are
found wanting.
"The purchasing power of real rail,
road families are demonstrated by the
analysis OF 254 itemized monthly ex
pense accounts. They are distributed
over the country, but In no sense SO
lected. The statements Include care

lilies amounted to $1935.50a of whicl
$4,000 came from other than railroad
wages being usually secured from
boarders. The average expendltur,
was $19.s9,64. The income from rail
road falls short of nearly $4,000 /,
year Of the actual amount which thes,
families spent
with prices prevailing during tn,
year OF 1921. mechanics in railroad
shops were able to purchase about 6
per cent OF the meat. fish, milk an,

J tual families at the lowest level o

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DIR. Kiliner's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-

1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp Root is a strengthening medi-

should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
II is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has SO many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp Root and start
