NEW YORK.-When you pay

may take comfort from the fact
that the men who made them over

increase in wages, according to a
report of labor conditions in China
made public by the Presbyterian
Board of foreign missions, here.
Canton, says this report, has been
having successful strikes in hund-
dreds of trades, with resultant in
crease in wages and Improvement
in the living of the workmen. The
makers of firecrackers got the low
est increase. Tea.house walters
got the highest increase, 80 per
cent Masons, tailors, BARRIERS and
wooden box makers got increase of
~ per cent. OK butchers were

Mexican Imports
Menacing Factor

AS the situation stands at the pres

consumption have created puzzling
situation relative to opinion on crude
quotation rise in the mid-continent area
The members of the fraternity are
more hopeful than confident that an
increase will be forthcoming. but never.
theless expectation is evident in the
majority Of expressions relative to the
situation. glance at the latest fig
ures of imports into the United States
present a rather dscouraging phase,
such as has been apparent for long
time, but towards which no eliminating
factor has been executed by the ma
tional lawmakers due to either igno-
rance of the petroleum situation on the
part of the majority OF members of con-
gress or a welding influence by those
who are desirous of importing the for
eign oils into this country. Latest
report Of imports show an increase OF
100000 barrels during May as com.
pared with April. Production of big
fields of Mexico shows an increase. The
output of the Toteco Cerro pool on
June and 4 averaged $4,000 bar
rels daily against 32S,000 June 2.
There is no doubt whatever but that
with a tax on Mexican crude which
would place American operators on an
equal footing with those who develop
in Mexico, the price Of crude would
take an immediate rise and remain at
an interesting level with an elimination
Of the seesawing factor which has been
apparent in the oil industry for more
than n year. The petroleum world of
America deserves the same recognition
as regards protection Of its field from
foreign encroachments as is now being
received by other industries of this
country through congressional action.
