NEEDLE WORKERS.
prep ARE FOR BIC.
DRESS WALK0UT.
Thousands to Answer
Strike Call of the
Industrial Union
The Joint Board Moves
Strike Committee in
Meet Tomorrow

With the approach of the general
strike in the dress trade, more and
more needle trades workers are raj
living to the new Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union, deter
mined to make the coming strike a
struggle that will pave the way for
the wrestling of union conditions for
all needle workers.
The spirit that filled every one OF
the 1000 workers who crowded Man
haitian Opera House last Wednesday
night is spreading to many hundreds
of other workers who declare them
selves ready to answer the strike call
whenever the Joint Board decides
to issue it.
Joint Board Moves.
Meanwhile the new union has out
grown it's quarters. In order to IA
cilitate preparations for the dress
strike the Joint Board is moving to-
iay to 131 w. 28th ST., between
Sixth and Seventh Aves., where 1t
will occupy two floors. Since the re-
modelling of the floors is not yet
complete, all matters concerning the
dress strike will continue to be taken
up at 16 w. 21st st. Only cloak
makers and furriers are asked to re-
port at the new office on 2Sth st.
A mobilization meeting of all the
members of the pleaters' and hem
stitchers' local Al will be held to-
night at Irving Plaza, 18th st. and
Irving Pl.
Impressive ceremonies marked the
installation of the newly elected Of
ficers of the Joint Board at Webster
Hall Saturday afternoon. The OF
ficers also constituted themselves
the General Strike Committee that
will direct the strike activities.
The strike is now only a short
time off and thousands of dressmak-
ers are waiting with the greatest
mpatience for the start of the fight
to establish real union conditions ir
the New York market and to drive
out the takers and betrayers of the
scab international. All needle trades
workers are urged to ignore com
nletely the fake Organization
drives and ond-peddling campaigns
of the Schlesinger company unior
and to be ready to answer 100 pei
cent when the Joint Board issues
the strike call.

new ELECTRICAL
WORKERS STRIKE
Lefcourt Crew for the
Five Day Week

Another walk-out of workers in
the electrical trades has registered
the rank and file determination to
oppose the injunction against the
five day week and $500 wage. This
is in spite of the evasive answers
of the Broach machine officials of
Local 8 of the international Brother
hood of Electrical Workers, who tell
men to "use til ir own judgment"
when they com for strike instruc-
tions.
The latest rike is on the Lef-
court Bldg, Seventh Ave., between
25th and 26th st. Electrical appara-
tus was being installed by two con-
tractors, who used the injunction as
an excuse to avoid paying the $500
wage. The contractors are Living
ston and Comstock. All their men
quit.
The 40 strikers on the new Grand
Central Building are still on strike.

 Group Shows Sugar Tariff Plans

Washington, Nov. LP-A letter from J. A. Arnold. manager of the Southern Tariff association to MT Barry of Lafayette, La., in which he said his idea was to "weaken down the opposition" in order to put "courage into the president" that he might stand for the house rates on sugar. was read into the record today at the senate lobby investigat- Ing committee hearing,

KOREA UNDER LAPS
 FOR TWO DECADES
Exposition Celebrating AnniYer-
 sary Opens in Keijo, Capital

Washington, D. C., Nov 6.-Japan celebrates 20 years of her adminis- tration in Chosen (Korea) with an exposition which opens this month in keijo (SeouD, the capital
 Japan takes pride in the results of 1 her efforts to transform the Hermit Kingdom into 8 modern province: a land streaked with railroad lines. green with new forests, and fat with heavy harveSts.
 The program Japan has carried out in Chosen, and future plans, are described in a bulletin based in part on special exposition editions of Seoul newspapers recently received by the National Geographic society. About the Size Of Minnesota 'Chosen is that fat thumb of 8 peninsula which Asia pokes at Japan. It Is an old, worn and wrinkled thumb a tumble of hills and mountains like the Balkans spreading over S4,00O square miles, an area about equal to that of the state of Minnesota.
 "One of Japan's chief activities In the last 20 years in Chosen has been to renew the youth of the old, tired hills, bald before their time, be- cause the Koreans did not believe in forest conservation. The administra- tion has planted, it is said, 36,O00,- 900 seedlings. The hills are once Prnu,na1 with r,,l e,t, ble of trees that begin to sponge up the floods that have more and more frequently destroyed Korean crops and further discouraged the Korean farmer.
 New Roads Supplant Old Highways
 Slap dash railroads which Japan threw across Chosen to carry men and supplies against Russia during the usso-Japanese war, have been replaced with new heavy duty rail lines, new bridges, American locomo- tives, and de luxe coaches. Chosen's best highway, the grand highway to China, was a bullock wagon track, bottomless in wet weather, dusty in dry weather. Japan busily pushes modern road system. of which one 1-year program of 1.700 miles has been completed, while a second is scheduled to be finished by 1885. Already automobiles speed along 1000 miles of passa ble roads.
 "The Korean up-country Iarmer who has sold his rice in the local market suddenly finds that he can get three times as much for his product by carrying it to the capital over the new highways.
 Foreign Trade Jumps Tenfold
 Japan went into Chosen shortly after the United States went into the Philippines. Similarly, the first ad- ministration was entirely in the hands of the military. As in the Philippines, government in Chosen is now largely in the hands of civilians. Brick and stone schools that would not look out of place in erican towns, rise in the largest cities of the province. The value of
New Britain herald., 1929-11-06

foreign trade is ten times as great as it was in 1911.
 Japan looks on Chosen as her private rice bowl. Rice makes up 5G per cent of ChoSen'S exports and practically all of it goes to Japan One-third of Chosens crop, amount ing to 25,0O0,O GOO bushels, already passes across Chosen Strait and Japanese experts concentrate on the problem of doubling this supply. The demand has started q three- -cornered trade, with the poorer Chinese farmers of Manchuria sending mill lions of bushels of millet to the poor Korean farmers, who, in turn send millions of bushels of rice to Japanese workers.
 Bonnet Strings Under Mems Chins
 'To travellers the Koreans still look much like a nation of White Wings Both sexes wear white at all seasons. Coat. vest and trousers serve as garments for both sexes with skirts added for the women. The cloth used is a loose cotton weave almost as thin as cheese cloth. and heavily starched Men wear a skull cap surmountcd by q hat four or five sizes too small. Bonnet strings tied under the manly Korean chins keep the pill boxes in place.
 Funeral services have contributed to the impoverishment of the Korean people. Custom dictates an elaborate ceremony upon the death of any member of a household; the more important the household the more elaborate the ceremonies. Among the lower classes the mourn ing period is three days: with the middle class it lasts from five 10 nine days: with nobility 100 days. while an imperial parsonage is not laid 10 rest for nine months.
 Both the Japanese. and mission aries from occidental countries, have found that one of their first tasks is to teach the Koreans to play.
 Partly because Chosen hasn't been strong enough to have a na- tional religion Christianity has made greater progress within its bound- aries than within almost any other district inhabited chiefly by the vel low race. Christianity is the domi- nant religion although it's 100000 are a small factor in population of 19,000. .0O0."

 He told his hearers that he had been on a mission of active good will and was sustained because he knew he had the active good will of the whole nation behind him.
 My hope and prayer is that thTs good will is going to spread it's heal ing inspiring arms around the whole carth,' he said
