! LIQUOR PRICE CUT

Bring Third Reduction,
Says Premier.

CHATHAM, Ontario, November 90
Ontario is likely to have another cut
tn the price Of liquor because of the
demand for 1t shown by the large
quantities now being consumed. This
statement was made by Premier Fer
guson last night in an address at a
political gathering, in which he was
describing how his proposed govern
ment liquor control policy would
check the Illicit sale of it.
I'VE have reduced the prices twice in
the last three years." said the premier.
'and I think we may go little
farther in that direction"
Liquor is now sold on doctors pre-
Scriptions.
Premier Ferguson is on a campaign
tour for theh elections to be held next
Wednesday, with the straight issue Of
p wet or dry province. At present On
tariO is dry. and Mr.. Ferguson Is
espousing government control and the
sale Of liquor, with local option.
Mr.. Ferguson said he believed the
lrOper course of the government was

fail offenders against the law. He
Contended that since the formation of
the Ontario temperance act the
province had fallen off in the matter
OF respect for law. He, criticized the
prohibitionists for literature distrib-
Ilted in the present campaign. saying
II was utterly false and ineXcusahle.
The premier also took to task cler-
gymen who, he said, had dealt ad
versely with the subject Of govern
fnent control from their pulpits.
II think" ne said, that every cler-
gyman should take an interest in pub
lie affairs. but when they want to talk
politics they should do so from the
public platform, not from the pulpit"

KOREAN COOLIES CHEAPLABOR
IS SERIOUS PROBLEM IN JAPAN
Diet of Immigrant So Frugal That He Is
Able to Underbid Natives in Many Jobs.
Government Takes Hand.

Koreans now in Japan only some
23.5O0 are women was said to have
given rise to grave moral problems.
Frequent clashes also occur between
Japanese and Koreans because of
racial prejudices and the competition
in industry. Only a fourth of the
Koreans have permanent or near
permanent dwellings,; the rest are
rovers, moving from place to place
in search of temporary employment
and living almost as campers. The
Japanese government has appropri-
ated the sum Of about 100000 yen to
advance at a low interest rate for the
construction of cheap homes for the
homeless wandering Koreans. The
houses, which will rent for about Is
yen per family per month. will be
built in the principal industrial Sec
tions around Kobe, Osaka and Toxic.
The yen is worth 1885 cents at par,
but has been slightly lower in ex-
change.
Evening star., 1926-11-26

The frugality of the diet Of jap
anese. particularly Of the laboring
class, is proverbial as the result OF
Western States campaigns to exclude
them because they eat less than
American workmen and therefore can
work for less. But the Korean coolie
is so much more frugal than the Jap
anese that his numbers in Japan
have constituted a serious problem,
according to a recent statement from
the Department Of Labor.
A veritable flood of cheap Korean
labor has swept Japan in recent years,
it was said. bringing about situation
so serious that government steps have
been taken to meet it. The influx OF
coolies has amounted to practically q
migration, but the Japanese govern
ment has as yet done nothing to
effectually check it. Korean day
laborers live so much more cheaply
than Japanese and will work for less
money, so that the situation somewhat
duplicates our problem in the West
where Japanese labor confiicted with
American standards Of living. In
fact, the situation has somewhat
brought an understanding and SYM
pathy for the American attitude to-
ward immigrant labor.
Korean laborers in Japan are large
ly engaged in the heavier and rougher
tasks, such as railway and road max
ing and the hauling Of goods. The
great improvement in living standards
of the Japanese in the past decade has
resulted in an unwillingness on their
part to perform the harder and more
menial tasks. They are, therefore,
willing to let the Koreans do the
lower work so long as they can find
employment in other lines. The
Koreans live in huts and rude shanties
and can subsist on food SO coarse that
the ordinary Japanese will not touch
it.

100000 FALSE AUTO
ARRESTS CLAIMED
Motor Congress Adopts "BilI
of Rights" to Protect
Drivers of Cars.

Estimate that approximately half q
million car owners were falsely arrest
ed during the last touring season was
made today by delegates attending the
National Motor Congress, sponsored
by the American Automobile Associa-
ton and in session at the New VIII
lard Hotel. The congress will be ad-
journed this afternoon.
Backing up the adoption of a bill
of rights" to protect car owners and
motorists against the "discrimina-
tions to which they are now subject
ed" the congress registered its con-
viction that traffic safety would be
enormously advanced if Legislatures
proceeded along simple and sane lines
instead Of introducing, as during the
past year, something like 5000 laws
to regulate motor vehicles.
Simple Taxation Urged.
Among the points stressed in con-
nection with the bill of particulars
necessary to protect the motorists in
their pockets and in their use of the
highways were the following:
First, the taxation of the motor ve-
hicle must be simplified and basic
principles of automobile taxation must
be established so that the car owners
will know what agency is to tax them
and for what purpose they are to be
taxed.
Second, the roadside squire and his
henchman, the sneak constable, must
go. Road patrols, under a centralized
authority, must be established every
where, and the too-common practice
OF making wholesale arrests on f1imsy
technicalities, such as antiquated
speed limits, must be abandoned.
Third, the practice of giving every
body but the motorists the benefit
of the doubt in connection with ac-
cidents must be abandoned, as this
practice is leading to innumerable
fake suits for damages in every State
and in every section of the country.
Safety Principles Upheld.
Ernest Greenwood, secretary of the
Hoover conference on street and
highway safety, addressed the Motor
Congress late yesterday afternoon on
the National Aspect of Safety
Work." Mr.. Greenwood told the
gathering that the extent to which
the safety gains already made are
to be maintained will largely depend
on whether or not every community
will undertake to give practical ap-
plication to the safety principles that
the Hoover conference has evolved.
Much Of this mornings discussion
pertained to the best methods of
augmenting the membership of the
American Automobile Association
and motor clubs in general. There
were divided views on the best
policy for dealing over the telephone
with members. Some took the
view they should curtly be told If
they want information they should
pay for 1t. while others took the
view that many new members are
obtained through courteous treat
ment Of telephone calls from non
members.
