LOOKING INTO THE
GREAT LONELY LAND

London-(By Mail to the Associated
Press).-Great Britain intends to
make a thorough study of the little
known land of Tibet, where devil
worship and belief in ghosts still ex-
ist. A mission composed of some of
England's ablest explorers, scientists,
missionaries and ethnologists soon
will leave London for the city of
Lhasa, which is buried behind the
worlds greatest rampant of noun
tains, the Himalayas, between India
and China. The mission will proceed
under the auspices of the Information
al Buddhist Union, representing all
schools of Buddhism, including the
Buddhist Society of the United States.
The mission will make closer IN
vestigation of the Tibetan people,
their customs, religion and language,
than has yet been possible. together
with study of rare books and manu-
scripts known to exist in the monastic
libraries. These are expected to prove
of the greatest value, not only to
Buddhist scholarship and to the study
of comparative religion, but to fill
many gaps that at present exist in the
worlds knowledge of the early history
of country which to the present day
is veiled in mystery.
The Tibetans live in mountain
strongholds, $1,000 feet above the
level of the sea, which is 500 feet
higher than Mount Whitney, the high
est peak in the United States. They
have always proved inhospitab1e to
foreigners and to the introduction of
modern ideas. Little is known of the
origin of the people. Local tradition
has it that the progenitors of the
race were "a she-devil of the Hima-
layas" and an ape from the plains of
Hindustan.
The last foreigner in Tibet was an
American medical missionary, DR.. A.
L. Shelton, of San Francisco, who
spent seventeen years at Batang, near
the Chino -Tibetan border. In its form
of government, Tibet is one of the few
remaining theocracies in the world.
The people lead nomadic life. Mon
ogamy, polygamy and polyrandry
flourish. Under the polyandrous sys-
tenn, the eldest son of a family mar
ries woman and she becomes the
common wife of himself and his
brothers.
DR.. Shelton found that the Tibetan
woman usually marries three or four
brothers, and in one case that came
under his observation a woman had
six brothers for husbands. The Oldest
brother is considered the father and
the other brothers the uncles Of the
family. Woman occupies a superior
lposition. She is master of the home
and farm. Grass worms, fungi and
the horns of young deer, ground to
powder, are considered by the Tibet
ans infallible medicinal remedies fo,
all ills. and are even held in high
favor as table delicacies.
Thousands of years OF isolation
have paralyzed the progress of the
people. There is no public instruc.
ton. Pagan forms of worship pre-.
vail. Only the most elemental form
of government exists. Offenders
against the law, which is derived
largely from the Kanjur, the Buddh
| ist bible, a work of 108 volumes, arr
punished by having their hands and
feet amputated. When a Tibetan die
his body is dismembered and fed Il
vultures. The people are extremely
poor. They dress in sheepskins and
the usual rule is one garment to 9
person.

EIGHT HOUR DAY
IS BEST
Long Hours and LOw-Pay
Folly Shown in
England

London, England. Many employers
have forgotten glowing promises they
made during the war, and instead of
developing cooperative idear>with
their employees, they are striving to
lengthen hours and reduce wages.
Recently the general council of the
British Trades Union Congress ohal-
lenged the employers claim that bust
ness will revive in proportion to the
expenditure saved on wages, either by
extending hours or lowering wages.
The unionists insist that low stand.
ards impair the workers efficiency
and adversely affect output in regard
to quality and quantity. This, the
unionists said, is harmful to industry
and to the community They pointed
out that neither low wage industries
nor low wage countries have been dis
tinguished for efficiency or prosperity
and that although the total wage re-
ductions last year amount to more
than f286, 100000, there has been no
appreciable gain in the various indus
tries concerned.
The assumption that longer hours
bring increased prosperity is also
based, upon fallacy, the unionists
declared In support of this extracts
were given from report issued by
the British home office in 1915 on the
consequences of industrial output on
fatigue As result Of Investigations
it was found:
"That a worker employed for eight
hours day may produce greater
output than another of equal capacity
working IL hours day:
"That group of workers showed
an absolute increase of over per
cent Of output as a result of dimi-
mutton of 161s per cent in the length
of the working day;
'sThat another group increased their
average rate of output from 152 to
276 as result of shortening the day
from IL hours to 10, and to 316 on a
further shortening of two hours"
In conclusion the unionists declare
that even if they failed to prove that
long hours and low wages do not lead
to increased prosperity they woulo
still be opposed to the suggestion that
the workers standard of life should
be lowered to secure this objective.

COMMIT .MEAN' ACT

Newark, N. J.-In addressing
meeting Of business men in this city
Henry F. Hilfers, secretary of the
New Jersey state federation Of labor,
blamed commercial interests for de-
feating amendments to the workmen's
compensation act at the last legisia-
ture. The trade unionist called on
those present to help erase the mean
est and lowest act New Jersey legis-
lature ever committed"
In discussing the fundamental prin-
ciples upon which compensation laws
are based, General Claim Agent Max
we'll of the Pennsylvania railroad
said that before these laws were
enacted accidents cost the railroads
annually $12,OOO,O0O, half of which
went to lawyers. The cost to the en-
ployer is little less now, but the en-
ploye receives it all under the COM
pensation laws, he said.

STOP Low PAY
Unions Can Protect Women
Wage Farmers

San Francisco.-A state board has
lowered the minimum wage for women
workers, and trade unionists are hold
ing protest meetings throughout the
state. The organized workers are also
driving home some trade union truths.
which are herewith expressed by the
Labor Clarion, official magazine of
the local labor council:
"If the women Of the state of Cali
fornia want to take the power of re-
ducing their wages out of the hands
OF the industrial welfare commission
the best way to accomplish that result
is by organizing into trade unions for
their own protection. Then no COM
mission can lower the scale they es-
tablish. 1t is unfortunate that the
women have not discovered this truth.
but they have not, and as a direct con-
sequence they find their paltry pay
cut
Had the women indicated intelli-
gence enough to organize years ago
there never would have been such a
state commission. Those who forced
the law through creating the commits
sion argued that it was necessary in
order to protect the women because
they were without organization and
unable to protect themselves. It is to
be hoped that the recent decision Of
the industrial welfare commission
will serve to convince them that or
ganization is their only salvation.
Public commissions cannot be de-
pended upon to deal out justice to
them. Such commissions never have,
and most likely never will, be above
being influenced by those who con-
troll the politics of the state"
