WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

merely a more equitable distribution Of
patent rights in industry.
Posthumous proceedings on behalf
of the late William E. Humphrey. who
was removed from the Federal Trade
Commission last year by President
Roosevelt. have just been revived be-
fore the United States Court of Claims
by Samuel Rathbun of Seattle, Wash,
administrator of the Humphrey estate,
through former Assistant Attorney
General Bill" Donovan, his counsel.
The case is expected to reach the
United States Supreme Court in Oc-
tober, the point at issue being the
right OF the executive to remove a
member of quasi judicial body with
out cause. Some Republican leaders
view the Presidents action in the
Humphrey case with resignation, be-
cause the day Is coming. they say,
when it may be useful for a Repub-
lican President to have such a prec-
edent for eliminating perfectly good
Democrats from the Federal service.

Missouri, in the course of a learned

informed the Senate that the new deal
dates back to the Diocletian era.

Patterson, "DiOcletian became head of

records that while the image of the
ancient constitution was religiouSly
preserved its authority became mori-

Senator Fletcher (Democrat), of
Florida, who has SO valiantly waged
the long fight for stock market con-

Wall Street have been heard from,

American visitors to China usu- ally are appalled, when they see the extent of what to them seems almost human slavery. Men and women take the place of horses and of machines. Flesh is literally pit ted against steel. The toll in toll and suffering is great, but the Chinese never complains. He is born'to life of unrelieved drudg- cry. He would rather work inceas- lessly, earn little, and eat less, than admit the machine, which he feels spells ultimate unemployment and starvation for him.
 Machinery Unwanted
 How much prejudice there is against the machine in China was strikingly shown recently in Shang- hai when the authorities governing the international settlement at- tempted to better the condition of the Chinese ricksha -pullers by get ting for them decrease from 25 cents gold day to about Is cents aay on their rental of rickshas from the owners. One hundred thousand ricksha eoolies opposed the decrease because they believed it was move on the part of the trolley-car and notorious interests to oust them.
 American airplanes, automobiles, motor trucks and motorcycles have invaded China, but in the country districts the natives still travel on foot, in ox-carts, wheelbarrows or on horseback On the rivers mo- tive power for passenger and freight traffic is furnished largely by cool ies, who toll without complaint for bowl of rice day.
 On the farms the old wooden blow, hand-scythe, pick and shovel, hoe and rake, etc., are still in use as they were in Old Testament times. Crops are sown and reaped by hand.
 Western countries may think the introduction of machinery would confer a boon on China,s millions. but the Chinese peasant seems to be convinced otherwise.

This conference, the first of it's kind ever held in Alaska, had representatives from Skagway, Haines, Juneau, Wrangell, Rake, Ketchikan, Metlakatla, Craig, Sitka and Yakutat present during the sessions.
 Meetings were held in the Shel- don Jackson School and the dele- gates stayed at the school during the time the conferences were be- ing held. The schedule was pleas antly varied with class work in the mornings, quiet hour and athletics during the afternoons and in the evening vesper services, followed by games or stereopticon slides. The

V. CHINA
By MORRIS J. HARRIS

SHANGHAI, China, June 15.- Of all the major countries of the world, China appears to have been the least affected by the machine.
 In this vast primitive land of 400,000,000 people human labor is so cheap that the machine has been unable successfully to compete with it.
 The Chinese peasant today IS what he was in the time of Con- fucious, almost beast of burden. No labor is too hard for him, no hours tco long, no compensation too little
 l., l2e yca-s, China has bought great quantities of machinery and n1ct ls c--'t, ca.lipm snt from the United States end ether countries, but the use Of this machinery is 'concircd almost entirely to the cit ies and .argc towns. The tens of thcusans.s cf villages in China re- main untouched by the machine and in these hand labor is still su- preme.
 Prejudice Against Machine
 Century-old prejudices and tradi- tions among the people have oper- ated to keep the machine out. In 3he rural parts of China human toil is held to be not only a prac- Aical necessity but almost a relig- ion. Old American residents of China can still remember when the first railroad, running from Shang hai to Woosung, was wrecked by the Chinese because it was regard ed as of evil origin and because it traversed land in which Chinese dead were inferred. Today there are fewer miles of railroad in the whole sub-continent of China than in the state of Minnesota.
 v In some of the larger cities and towns the automobile has to some extent displaced the ricksha and horse-drawn vehicles. but in gen. cral the old-fashioned wheeled man-drawn ricksha remains the chief means of passenger convey ance.
 In Shanghai, Hong Kong, Can ton and other big cities automatic telephones, electric light svsta7o-. electric ice-boxes, sewing machines, phonographs and other modern me- chanical devices are in use, but in the interior are scarcely known.
 Cotton-mill looms, steam pile drivers, automatic coal stokers, electric carpet sweepers, ice-making machines, motor driven agricultural machinery, and other labor-con- serving devices are common in Shanghai and other large industrial centers, but in the vast rural sec ton of China, constituting 95 per cent of the. entire area of the country, men, women and even chil- dren stil labor wearily and long. They resent the coming of the ma- chine.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF NEW ENGLAND
 TRADE STANDING
Higher Activity in Textiles and Shoe and Leather
 Lines Reported

Boston, Jan 18-(UP)-Higher activity in cotton textiles, shoe and leather lines was reported today by Dun & Bradstreet Inc, in the weekly review of New England trade conditions.
 Although activity has not de- veloped in the wool trade, the mar ket is in excellent shape. An in- creasing number of inquiries for all grades of wool Is noted, and it is expected that sales will develop before long. Prices continue firm.
 "The season for women's dresses Is opening and buyers are more in- terested in the higher-priced num- bers. Woolen goods are slightly more active. The knitting and weaving trade continues quiet, and spinners are receiving very few orders for worsted or wooden yarns.
 Large sales of gray goods are reported at firm prices and cotton mills arc increasing activity. Ray on mills continue shipping goods quite actively and a good call for finer grades of yarns is noted. Cotton yarn prices have been well maintained and more interest is noted by the spinners.
 "The hide and skin market has been quiet, but an increased inter- est is noted in all grades of leather. Current quotations show little change, although advances are ex- pected shortly. New England shoe manufacturers have had much ad- ditional business, due to the recent style show and the industry is broadening its activity.
 Building and engineering con- tracts awarded in New England during the past week make very good showing, being considerably over the corresponding week of the two previous years.
 Hardwood is seasonably slow at steady prices. The consumption of pulp and paper has been substan- tially larger during the past few months. Large quantities of pulp, however, are arriving from for eign sources, and prices are weak.
 "There has been q slight increase in the call for pig iron, but local foundries find business slow to in- crease. Manufacturers of heavy machinery. particularly textile, are fairly active.
 "Rehecting increased business in the principal mil lcenters, bitu- min6us coal sales are increasing. Automobile dealers report an ac- tive interest in the new models, with q fair proportion of sales"

Y. M. C. A. Notes

NewalI IT. Banks, American championship checker match maker, in his annual visit to Wa terbury last night won all his checker games but allowed three men to get draw with him. He wasn't as fortunate in his chees matches for young Alfred Green won his match against him. It is only fair however to state that he played the latter while playing three other men blind folded in checkers. Those who secured the draws was Lowell H. Cole, Louis DiBlasio and Irving Chapman. There was large attendance of checker players present. Twenty five boards were played.
 Romance in the gay nineties will be re-enacted Saturday night at the Y. M. c. A. The occasion will be the annual dance of the Beau Brummels. Special decorations suitable for the period are being selected by Joseph Kushlis, who is in charge Of this phase of proceed ings. .,,..

The social committee under the dircc- ton of William Sutton has been active in making arrangements. MT Sutton announces that this will not be costume affair-the period be- ing cared for by decorations and dances suitable to the time.
 The Y. M. c. A. Forum next turns it's attention to China. The group will be piloted to that great mystery land of the Orient under the direction of Rev Frank Cotter of St Johns Episcopal church. MT COtter's recent return from China after many years of residence there enables him to have a first hand knowledge of affairs that will be much sought after by the Forum devotees.
 The Forum will be held in the west lobby and start at 3:3O p. m.
