Women Outnumber Men
In Larger Jap Factories

TOKYO, Jan. 27.-Governmental
Investigations have developed the
fact that the number of women
workers, both in factories and on
farms, is steadily increasing. Fig
ures disclose there are approximate
ly 725,000 women workers in the
employ of various large manufac-
turing plants, not including those
employed by small factories. Ma
goya leads IN the number of women
workers, with Osaka second and
Tokyo third.
Compared with the number Of
men workers in the large factories
it is found that women are in the
majority by about 1000. The
inquiry was prompted by the gov
ernment's desire to insure the relief
and protection of the country's S
feminine workers.

Center of Controversy

Col. Mitchell, who won high
reputation during the World Var
as an aviator and flying command
er. was promoted shortly after the
war to the post of assistant chief
of the army air service. Within a
few months he was involved in a
controversy over aviation policies
of both the army and navy. Fol-
lowing a series of airplane bombing
months ago, he published series
of articles in a leading weekly
magazine in which he assailed the
efficiency of battle fleets as a first
line of defense. These articles
brought him into direct conflict
as with the Secretary Of War. He
was not reappointed as a result of
this and went back to field duty,
his last assignment being command
ant of air forces at Texas post.
The Shenandoah disaster and the
disappearance of navy plane on
flight from San Francisco to Homo
lulu brought from him violent
attack on both army and naval air
policies This was followed by
charges of violations of army regu-
lations. preferred at the request OF
President Coolidge, in which he was
accused of conduct prejudicial to
discipline OF the army. After a
trial lasting many days before an
Army court. he was found guilty as
charged and sentenced to five years
suspension from the service and the
forfeiture of all pay and allowances.
Yesterday President Coolidge ap-
proved the sentence of suspension
but modified it to allow Col. Nit
chell his regular allowances and
half pay.

SENATE CLEARS
Way FOR FINAL
VOTE ON COURT
Five Reservations Adopted;
Resolution Seems To Be
Sure OF Passage

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3c.-The Sen.
ate was today prepared to decide
whether the United States shall join
the World Court. There appeared
J to be little if any likelihood that the
formal resolution of adherence would
fail to receive the required two
thirds vote as the reservations
offered by its proponents had all been
adopted by overwhelming majorities
and others offered by its opponents
were lost by equally one-sided votes
Three additional reservations Of
fered by Senator Swanson were adopt
ed late yesterday afternoon, two hav-
ing been approved earlier in the
day.
! Text of Reservations.
| The last three reservations ap.
proved yesterday provided:
| The signature of the United States
shall not be affixed to the protocol
of the World Court until other men,
ber nations have accepted the AM
erican reservations, and included q
statement that adherence by the
United States shall not be con-
| strued as REIMBURSEMENT by the
United States of it's traditional poll
cies against entangling alliances and
toward purely American questions.
That the United States has per-
mission to withdraw from the Court
at any time and that the Court
statutes cannot be amended without
the permission of the United States.
This carried by a vote of 81 to |,
Col. Blease voting against it.
That all advisory opinions be rem
dered publicly and that no such opin-
ions can be given in disputes effect
consent of the United States This,
also, was adopted 81 to l, Blease
again voting in the negative.
The Senate approved a statement
of policy that recourse to the Court
for settlement of differences between
'can be had only by agreement
through treaties between the dis
putting parties"
Other Reservations.
The other two reservations APPROX
ed yesterday by the Senate were:
! The United States, in its adher-
ence to the Court. accepts no legal
connection with the League Of Ma
tions.
The United States shall participate
in the selection of judges of the
World Court.
Two reservations proposed by op-
ponents of American adherence were
easily defeated. One of these, pre-
sented by Reed, of Missouri, to the
effect that the Monroe Doctrine be
declared as a principle OF Interna-
tional law to be binding upon the
World Court, was defeated by
vote of SO to 6.

Army precedents indicated such

Coolidge, of course, makes the final
decision.
Plans to Continue Crusade
Friends of Col. Mitchell said, if
he is permitted to resign, he would
lecture in a crusade of re-organiza
tion Of the present system of ma
tional defense. Some of his init
mates declared Col. Mitchell would
resist any effort to put him in a
position of saying his withdrawal
would improve the service. 1t was
pointed out that the right of the
President to release or accept the
resignation Of an army officer had
never been tested in the courts.
War Department officials, includ-

it was made for the good of the

The significant fact is that the plan
of the government is to make a
frontal attack for deportation Of the
workers in such centers as New York.
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Pitts

Louis. These are the principal indus
trial centers of the country. In these
districts one will find the heaviest
congregation of foreign-born workers
because it is in this territory that the
biggest basic industries of the coun-
try are located.
These are rather suspicious plans
for the Wall Street government. The
deportation and registration laws
must not be considered as isolated
items by themselves. These attempts
of the capitalists are obviously only
part of a general campaign. They are
