Want Japanese Kept Out;
Law Changes Are Opposed

San Francisco, Dec. 3.-The Pacific
coast delegation in congress is prae-
tically united in opposing any change
in the immigration law that will per-
nit the admission of japanese.
The fight in this state to continue
Japanese restriction is directed by the
California joint immigration commit
tee, which consists of the Native Sons
of tho Golden West and the state or
CARNATIONS of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, the American Legion
and the Grange. The executive secle-
tary is V. S. McClatchy, editor of the
Sacramento Bee.
In a speech to the recent state con-
vention of the American Legion he
said there are more Japanese in the
United States than in all the other
countries of the world combined, out
side of the empire of Japan.
'Of all the English-speaking coun-
tries" said Mr.. McClatchhy, "the
United States alone has permitted the
Japanese, an alien, unassimilable race,
with dangerous advantages in econo-
mic competition, to secure such foot
hold in its territory. South Africa,
Australia and New Zealand-domin-
ionus of Great Britain, which had a
close treaty with Japan-excluded
japanese from the first; and Canada,
which failed to exclude them when the
opportunity offered and afterward was

THE COST OF LIVING

There are few fundamental facts
regarding everyday affairs which
should be more generally understood.
Since 1913 the cost of living has gone
up 65 per cent. This means that you
are paying 60 per cent more for your
clothes, rent, groceries, meat and such
monthly bills, than you were II years
ago.
Contrast this with achievement of
electric light and power industry the
same years. Figures taken from Blu
reau of Labor Statistics. United
States Department of Labor, show
that the cos tof electricity has actually
gone down since 1913.
Few other commodities or services,
except insurance, can show such a
record. The cost of government dur
ing this same period has in many in
stances doubled and trebled. One
trembles to think what would have
happened to electric light and nower
industry and insurance business if
they had been owned by the govern
ment and the cost for these indis-
pensable services had been increased
in proportion to cost of government.

If YOU LET II

The advance Of electricity on house
keeping has been 50 gradual that not
everyone realizes today how complete
it is, says the Chicago Herald and
Examiner The genius of science has
got under the dead weight Of home
drudgefy, but a good many house
wives are not yet aware of its lifting
power.
Electricity has done wonders on the
farm, but they have been on big
scale. Because each home is small 1t
works in the home on Il small scale.
But its users there at present are
even more numerous than on any
farm. 1t serves women, today, even
more completely than it serves man.
Look up the possibilities of modern
electrical appliances. If you think
them expensive ask yourself whether
your vacuum cleaner is expensive as
compared with a broom, or your cleo
trio light as compared with oil lamps.
This is not an advertisement, merely
a statement of facts, says the Exam
liner in conclusion.

No Salty Plan and Rush
Orders Caused Pennsyl-
yania Railroad Wreck

Newark, n. j., Dec. 3.-Bame the
engineer, but not the Pennsylvania
railroad for its failure 10 install safety
devices, says the Newark Evening
News, in an editorial on the wreck
near here that cost 10 lives when the
Mercantile Limited smashed into the
rear of another train during a heavy
fog.
"Timothy ]. Carroll is a tragedy Of
railroad life" said the Evening New.
Ten warrants were issued for his
arrest on charges of manslaughter,
just as though he were a common
criminal. This was in spite of the fact
that with long record of fine service
he was recognized as qualified to hold
down the responsible position OF en-
gineer on a crack train. Through good
and bad weather he had pil0tod 1t
safely. He had proved himself COM
petent and trustworthy. Then came
the foggy morning of fate. Opening
wide the throttle to make good time
on a ,traight track, he missed a signal
in the gloom"
Writing in the same paper, Charles
J. AllenthOrpe refers to the statement
OF Pennsylvania railroad higher
up that Carroll will never run a
passenger engine again.
"HOw brave and reassuring these
walds,2 says the correspondent.
Nothing could be unfairer to a man
such as Carroll had to be given such
a run. Only seven of 100 like him
who start as firemen become en-
gineeIs. He had TO have the stamina
of an oarsman, the sight of an aviator,
the mature judgment of supreme
count member, the clarity of mind of a
surgeon to be at go the man who
hurled safely hundreds of persons and
Steel over ribbons of track.
Carroll and his kind have to cut
the custard' so the ilk who now say
he'll never run another passenger
train can show sheets with OF be-
hind the note of arrival of each human
conveyance. They can brag all they
want to about safety, but they know
and such as Carroll know, that if they
don't cut 'er' some one will be put on
the job who WILL"

Arizona Urges Adoption
of Amendment for
Minimum Wage

By International Labor News Service.
Washington. d. C., Dec. 3.-Ine
Arizona state Federation Of Labor Is
giving vide circulation to the follow
ing resolution, adopted at its recent
convention:
"Wheeras, the Supreme Court OF
the United States has in two recent
decisions declared the District Of Co
lumbia and the AriZone minimum
wage laws for women unconstitutional
ana has thereby, in effect, inyalldated
all laws of this character that are now

Fascist Would Follow
Emigrant; MussOlini
Builds World Spy Plan

Washington, Dec. 3.-The Fasclst
government of Italy demands that
when citizens Of that country emil
CRATE they must maintain the ideals
of Fascismo, rather than those Of
their adopted country.
Rome newspapers give much pub
Lefty to a meeting of the Congress To
Force FaseismO, held in Rome, under
the auspices of the MussOlini govern
ment. More than 500 delegates were
present. 4 special train, paid by the
government, was placed at their DIS
posal.
General Secretary Bastianini, Of the
congress. called for the establishment
of newspapers in every Italian center
in foreign countries. "Fascismo,' he
said must have its hand in foreign
countries, the same way 1t has at
home"
The delegates agreed that it was
necessary to keep in close touch with
Italian emigrants and use them,
through the medium Of daily newspa-
pers, to protect the foreign policy OF
the Fascist government in the coun-
tries in which they reside.
Under this policy the Amerlcaniza-
ton of Italian emigrants will be met
by a force that is financed by the
Italian government.
American citizens OF Italian bifth
who oppose the dictatorship of Mus
solin, declare that the Fascist gov
eminent now maintains propaganda
bureaus in the United States, and
every effort is being made to enc5ur-
age the Fascist ideal among Italian
people who reside here.
That Mussoiui Is determined to IN
crease his power over Italians who
leave that country is indicated by re-
cent cables from Rome. A law pend
ing in the Italian parliament would
permit the government to coniiseate
property of any Italian residing in an
other country who plots against
Italy. Any agitation against Musso-
lini will be clasSed as plotting" TIE
pending law gives all power to Mus
solini. Parliament will surrender
every right to initiate measures and
writing or speaking against Mussolini
will be a penal offense.
"What is Fascism ?" is answered by
Martyr HemDhill, writing in the New
York World, last week
"The essence of Fascism is absolut-
ism. The government is supreme.
Discipline is the keynote. The people
must bow before it and accept it and
dare not upset it; the king must serve
it; the parliament must do its bidding
and refrain from criticism. In inter
national relations the Fascist is a
jingo he is out for the blood of any
one who tries to interfere with his
national expansion. An international
movement for the fostering of more
or less rabid nationalism is not a
sound proposition. Fascsm is revolu-
tionary. Large numbers of Italians
hate it because it is a rich mans gov
eminent. 1t denies the freedom Of the
press. 1t is not any too tolerant of
the freedom of speech. 1t ridicules
democracy"

New York, Dec. 3.--The Building
Trades Employers association has re-
fused higher wage demands by build
ing trades unions. The issue will be
referred to the governing board of
the employees association and the
executive board of the Building Trades
Council.
Officers of building trades unions
say the increase is now paid by en-
p1oyers as bonuses.
eve would rather have the bonuses
written into the permanent agreement
than to have them remain disturbing
factor in the trade" said John Hal
kett, president Of the Building Trades
Council.
THE employers are to blame for the
bonuses. In many cases New York
are paying more for work
in other cities and | do not see how
they can make a stand here"

compelled to enter into a gentlemen 5
agreement has found that agreement
so unsatisfactory, even after amend
ment, that British Columbia, now the
province most affected, l. demanding
absolute exclusion.
Congress, IN stopping japanese m
migration, did so by passing a general
Law carrying out the established pOllcy
Of the nation excluding all aliens IN
eligible for citizenship. The laS was
not discriminatory, for It applles
equally to half the population OF the
globe.
Congress, in adopting this measure.
did an extraordinary thing which mad
never before been done by it, for It
passed the measure By practically a
unanimous vote in the face Of the most
determined and widespread opp0si-
ton. The secretary Of state opposed
it; the president threatened 10 veto
it if passed; the organized churches
throughout the country, the mission
airy element and the peace societies
fought it; commercial organizations
fearful of injury to trade. protested
violently; most of the leading news
papers in the eastern states edltorl-
ally denounced it and insisted that
California was provoking war with
Japan because of her narrow and pre-
JUDGED views.
why did congfess pass the ex-
clusion measure under such condi-
tions? Because during its three
months investigation supplemented
by long previous study, an exhaustive
presentation of the facts satisfied it
that only in this way could the rights
and welfare of the nation be protect
ed, and that intelligent and loyal
Americans, when they earn the facts,
would approve the action taken"

Women In Cuba Will
Be Given Half the Jobs

BY international Labor News Service.
Havana, Cuba, Dec. 3.-The women
of Cuba are to have an equal oppor-
tunity with men in obtaining employ
ment, and their employment is made
mandatory under the terms of a stat
ute just signed by President Machado.
The new law provides that 30 per
cent of the employees of establishments
selling sport articles, notions, fancy
goods, souvenirs, perfumery, books
and stationery, candy, drugs and art
objects must be women. Theatres and
business houses employing telephone
operators, typewriters, stenographers,
record file keepers, cashiers and pack
age wrappers also come under the pro-
visions of the law.
Stores selling only women's articles
must employ a full force of women
clerks. No male foreigner arriving in
Cuba as an immigrant since 1917 is
to be given enjoyment in establish
ments affected by the law.
