According to the report of the Capt.
tai Traction Go. for September, filed
today with the Public Utilities Com
mission, the company's net income
after all deductions was $40 ,691.72,
compared with a net income in Sep
tember of last year Of $50 400 80, and
net income in August of this year
of S37 7,4683S. September operating
revenues totalled 6,9S8.35, operat-
ing expenses and taxes amounted to
$500, ,S25.76, leaving total operating
revenues for the month of $66, 1929.
Operating revenues in September,
1925, were S356.324.30, almost the
same figure as that returned for this
year. but operating expenses were
much lower q year ago, the amount
being $278.309.26. leaving a net oper-
ating income of $50, ,015.04. This larger
net operating income appears to ac-
count for most of the decline of S15,-
ISIS in the 1926 September income
when compared with that Of the same
period last year.
That the Capital Traction Co. is
having a good financial year is shown
by the figures for the first nine
months. Operating revenues reached
So ,424, ,727.16, from which 1852 ,602.26
had to be taken out for operating eX-
penses and taxes. After all other de-

Simple Blood Test
Determines Cancer

LIVERPOOL. England, March 90
The claim that a means has been
found of detecting the inception Of
cancer by simple blood test is made
by DR.. II. Mccormick Mitchell, senior
medical officer OF the cancer hospital
here.
Altho English medical men are not en-
tirely convinced of DIR. Mitchells
theory, he is enthusiastic and declares
that his finding is the dawn of a
gerat discovery which will bring con-
ISOLATION and comfort to many suffer
ing hearts.
by means Of a cleverly destroyed
apparatus" DR.. Mitchell stated, the
scients can now examine a few drops
OF a patients blood and detect cancer
in its earlier stages in any part OF the
body. Further than this, by a similar
blood test six months after an opera
ton the scientist is able to discover
whether the operation has been sue
cessful."

CUSTOMS MEET
DECIDES UPON
China TARIFF
Powers Would Estab-
Iish New ShGckIeS
Especial to The Daily Worker,

PEKING, (By MaiD-The Interna-
tiona customs conference has finally
agreed upon the revised tariff sched-
ule for China. After weeks of debate
they have decided to grant substant-
tally the rates proposed by the Chin
ese delegates at the opening Of the
conference last October. Surfaces in
addition to the duties now In force
will be allowed running from 5 to 80
per cent, with the grant Of complete
control by China in 1929.
1t yet remains to be decided what
shall be the disposition Of the in
creased revenues resulting from the
new schedule. This is almost certain
to delay proceedings considerably
longer.
The powers demand the abolition of
the likin, an arbitrary tax laid by the
provincial authorities upon goods in
transit over their districts or within
them. The Chinese have already
agreed to end this system.
Would Arrange New ShackIes.
A serious controversy is sure to oc-
cur over the proposal that the out
standing unsecured or inadequately
secured foreign and domestic debts
shall be covered by a new information
al loan to be arranged by the con-
sortium, the international group of
banks which have arrogated to them
selves the control Of loans to China.
These unsecured obligations run into
the hundreds of millions, including
some, such as the infamous Mishihara
advances by Japan, which the nation
ahsts are bitterly opposed to paying.
The Nishihara loans have recently
been taken over by the Japanese gov
eminent itself, an ominious sign that
they are to be among those which
China is to be obliged to assume.
Some Loans Defauted.
The defaults on the Hukuang and
the Tientsin-Pukow railway loans have
complicated the situation. According
to those loan agreements in such a
case the interest and installments due
were to be paid from the surplus
customs receipts. The total of de-
IauIJS Is already over @z,OUO,UUO ana
if they continue to the end of 1927 it
is estimated they will total nearly
$1S,OOO,O0O. Holders of other railway
bonds on which there has been no de-
faults declare that the prospects are
that China's financial breakdown will
also extend to these, and that they
also muAt have customs guarantee
for the future.
The powers expect to recoup their
losses from the raised tariff rates by
compelling the application OF the In
creased revenues to these loan repay
ments. Whether they will succeed in
the light of the strong agitation
among the Chinese for the removal
of all forms of foreign control is very
doubtful.

participated in strikes and always
been present where the blows fell
tho heaviest. The latest information
