ALL CHINA WATCHING TfANKOW
AND MARSHAL WI, DEFENDER
Fate of "Pittsburgh Of
Orient" in Siege by Can
tonese, in His Hands.
Picturesque War Lord Wide.
Iy Respected as Honest,
Even by His Enemies.

PEKING, September 18.-All eyes
In China are today set eXpectantly on
the picturesque personality of the vet
eran Marshal WI Pei-fu. on whose
defense of Hankow depends the hopes
of the northern allies
For two other formida BILE warriors,
Marshal Sun Chuan-fang and the
Manchurian Sun Chuan-Fang and the
Manchurian war lord. Chang Tso-lin,
have aligned their forces with him In
an effort to worst the expedition OF
the Cantonese government to the
south.
These leaders and their innumer-
able henchmen are the so-called
allies" who have pitched their shift
ing camps against the forces OF the
Canton government and its ally. Feng
Yuhsiang, the Christian general of
he Kuominchun. or national army.
The Christian general, who has just
returned from Moscow, Is avowedly
Soviet sympathizer. and the Canton
government has won for itself the epi-
thet of red" on account of the un-
stinted support 1t Is ever receiving
from the bolsheviki. The "allies,"
however, are divided in their sympa-
thies. Chang Tso-lin leans strongly
toward the Japanese, while Marshals
WI and Sun are anything but Anglo
phobe in their politics.
Europeans Aid i'm HankOw Siege.
While it Is true that resentment of
European control in the various con-
cessions seems to sweep over China
a fact which recently led to firing and
the capture of British ships on the
Yang Ese-kiang by Gen. Yang.sen,
contrary to Marshal Wu's orders, 1t is
said, Europeans have been co-operat-
ing heartily with local volunteer corps
in encircling HankoW with wire en-
tanglements and other means Of de-
fense against the siege Of the Can
tonese.
The captured steamers, which have
been sent in unnavigable waters on
the upper reaches of the Yang Use
kiang at Wanhsien. have formed the
subject of negotiations between Mar
shall WI and Sir Edwin Alexander
Sinclair, commanderin in.chief of Brit
ish naval. forces in the Far East. who
proceeded thither on his flagship. AL
ready firing on European ships has
ceased and the atmosphere seems
clear for an amicable settlement.
While in many ways Chang Tso-
Inns career has been phenomenal and
his methods of recruiting his efficient
army more up to date, he hardly COM
nands the popularity of Marshal WI
among his countrymen. Formerly
NNu suffered a signal defeat at the
hands of Chang, but the latter found
it more eXpedient to come to an agree
ment with him in face of the slashing
successes of the Christian general.

In 1e11 the Chinese republic was
virtually established and next year

they lifted the meat from the carcass,

they dissected carefully to obtain the

IMMIGRATION LAW
UNDER FLANK FIRE

Opponents of immigration restric-
ton are making flank attacks against
this legislation.
These forces can not claim 'the
United States needs unskilled labor"
as it is no longer denied that the pro-
ductive forces of the country are
greater than its consuming power.
The foes of restriction are now pos
ing as humanitarians, and are urging
several proposals that would open the
side door to aliens.
One of these amendments would
permit any Oriental born in this coun-
try to go to the Far East, marry, and
return to the United States with his
wife. Under this system there would
be steady and never failing increase
in the Oriental population of this
country.
The proposal is but one of many
attempts to weaken the present quota
law and destroy its usefulness.

BOSSES PENSION
PLAN
Opposed By U. S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics

Washington-A report on employ
ers old-age pensions, published by
the United States bureau of labor
statistics, sustains organized labors
charge that this system is intended
to tie workers to their jobs and keep
them from striking, if necessary
against poor conditions.
The study was made by Miss Con-
yngton, of the bureau, and covers over
200 companies which have some form
of old-age disability pension scheme
for their employees.
Of the plans covered, only 13 are
contributory. In the others the COM
pany pays the whole cost.
Miss Conyngton points out that or
ganized labor opposes employers pen
sion schemes on the ground that

to force retired employees to act as
strikebreakers.
{3) They are not granted to work
ers as right, but as a gratuity
which may be revoked by the en-
ployer.
The investigator sustains these OBJ
jections.
As to objection H. she says,
these are the very reasons why
schemes are favored by employers.
"As to (2-a) the wording of many
of the plans confirms the charge AS
to (2-b) this is not so common, but
exists under some of the plans.
AS to (3l, this is almost fatal
objection, in the opinion of many, as
the worker has no rights whatever
in the matter, even when he has full
filled every condition"

insurance company, are regarded as
