Here were some 500 employees, mostly

Every little motion has been studied

Each group of workers is under OBJ

ceeding the standard output.
On leaving the establishment we were
presented with boxes as souvenirs, each

would make us all beautiful. This, We
agreed, would, If achieved. represent

gesture Of good will and hospitality,
but it appealed more strongly to the

This morning was wet and gloomy,
and only seven Of us set out for Osaka
from Nara to carry on, while five slept
and coddled themselves and did q bit

A Charming Performance.
The luncheon at I o'clock at the
Osaka Club was rendered by o group
Of leading business men. The governor
of the prefecture attended in our honor.
There was q speech by the chairman
that exceeded in brevity anything we
have yet heard in Japan. There were
two big bangs as flash-light photographs
were taken, and we departed for gar
den party at the suburban villa of Mr.:
Ishikawa, a wealthy manufacturer OF
paints, who had given his commodious
house and grounds to the Pan-Pacific
Club of Osaka, an organization OF
women, for the purpose of our enter

and entered the house, there to be re-
galed with preliminary refreshment and

Yesterday morning our Osaka expert

newspaper Offices, the Asahi and the
Mainichi. These two "Shimbuns" are
intense rivals and what one does the

HIGH BENEFITS
Are Paid By Western Labor
Law

San Francisco. - "The California
compensation law, as amended by the
state legislature, can be classed among
the leaders in this country" declared
Will j. French, director State Depart
ment of Industrial Relations.
"rhe maximum compensation is in
creased from $2OS4 to $685." said Mr..
French. "This is for all accidents
whether temporary or permanent and
includes, Of course, the death benefit.
While the latter has not been increased
from the $4,000 minimum, | am hope
full that eventually California will fol-
low the method of several states and
allow percentages for the widow and

TRADES COUNCIL

The COOPERATIVE Trades and Labor
Council met Tuesday night in regular
session. President Otwell Condor
presided, and thirty-one delegates
were present.

allowed.
The minutes of the previous meet
ing were read and approved.

Stove mounters reported no change
in conditions.
Stage hands reported having a dis
pute with the picture show managers

eral meetings were held, but so far
without results. Another meeting will
be held in few days.
Street and electric railway
employees reported that they have ac-
cepted the wage agreement of the
company, which is the same as last
year. A few other conditions were
granted the men, which is satisfac-
tory. The company will also put the
men on the profit-sharing plan.
Milk and ice cream wagon drivers
report that business has been better
this year than last year. More busi-
ness was done by the union dai1ies
all season. The White Cross and Ma

BLUE CHIP"
Stocks Return Huge Profit
To Corporations

New York.-Dazzling profits of Ger
tain industrial corporations can be ap-
preciated if the price of these stocks
the past several years are compared.
"Blue chip" is Wall streets refer
ence to stock of General Electric,
Union Carbide, steel trust, Aluminium
Company and other corporations.
Five years ago General Electric
stock was selling for less than 5000 a
share. This corporation presented
shareholders an equal amount of
shares in Electric Bond & Share Sc
curities, one of it's subsidiaries that is
a holding company for numerous utili-
ties companies. Electric Bond &
Share then presented stockholders
three extra shares for every one held.
General Electric was split four for
one. This stock is not selling for
$500 a share.
One share of General Electric COM
mon, purchased five years ago for
5000, with the splits ups, has a mar
ket value of $1,560, and three shares
of Electric Bond, which cast the
shareholder nothing, has market
value of $145 a share or $465, exclus-
i've Cf "r'phts" value of $40 share
Adding the two blocks of stock to-
gether makes $2,O25 for $500 invest
ed five years ago.
When this one share of stock is
multiplied by thousands, the profits of
insiders can be appreciated. General
Electric and similar 'blue chip" con-
Germs oppose trade unionism and in
sist on the right of management to
set wages. By clever bookkeeping
and constant issuance of stock the
earnings per share are held to "fair"
return. A 20 per cent cash dividend
would attract attention, but under the
split up system, where three shares
are divided for every one share held,
the stockholder will receive but per
cent per share. The 20 per cent on
his original investment, however, re-
mains.

N.Y.LA|D IN RUIN
BY ARMY MR.
1T TACK
BY HOMER H. METZ

NEW YORK, May % 1.N.s).-
New York city Is wide open to at
tack from the air.
This is the consensus Of opinion
today following the 'iair raid" staged
last night by giant Fokker bomb
ing plane which flew 800 miles non.
stop from the headquarters OF the
United States Army air maneuVers
at Dayton, Ohio.
Aided by fog and the darkness
the plane swooped low over New
York harbor shortly before 9:3U
last night. released a flood Of
bombs" represented by brilliant
flares, and in the space Of a few
moments technically destroyed the
city's principal harhor defenses on
Governors Island.
Got Off Safe
Not one answering shot was fired
by the defending anti-aircraft guns.
as lack of searchlights prevented
them from sighting the aerial raider
in the murky skies. Virtually I'M
opposed and unendangered, the
bomber circled over the city, getting
in it's deadly" work. then speeding
off to effect safe landing at
Boiling Field, Washington.
The plane, piloted by Lieut.. Odas
Moon and carrying bombing crew
OF four, arrived over the Battery,
the tip Of Manhattan Island, at 9:25
o'clock, circled over the Army post
on Governors Island scarcely visible
in the low-hanging clouds, then
flew north straight up Broadway
over the defenseless city as far as
Central Park.
Fort Jay Wrecked
At Central Park it turned south,
and this time flying lower, dropped
bomb" directly over Fort Jay.
The flare exploded in the air, illumi-
mating the entire ba. and lighting
up the harbor craft and the Statue
of Liberty as clearly as they would
appear at sunset.
Col. Truman O.. Murphy, duty Of.
ficer at Fort jay, declared that at
tempts to bring down" the plane
were utterly impossible.
1--WE heard her engines about
9:25," Colonel Murphy said. 'ShN
wos heading north, 1t seemed. but
the plane was so hidden by fog and
clouds that it was impossible to see
her without playing an anti-aircraft
searchlight upon her. We have no
such lights on the island"
Figuratively speaking, New York
city is a jumbled mass OF ruins to-
day.
After reducing New York city t.
q heap of debris last night, the
Army Air Corps bomber which Die
the strafing landed at Boiling Field
at IL o'clock last night. A radio
message was received by the crew
some time later in the night from
their base at Dayton to remain 81
| Boiling overnight.
The message also indicated thai
the refueling plane, piloted by Capt
Ross Hoyt, of Question Mark fame
and the Army's radio plane woult
proceed to Washington today from
Burgess Field, Uniontown, Pa.
