Japan May Decide To Seize AH or China
tcontinued from Page D

Since the beginning of the wr.- the Japanese had taken Tientsin, Peiping, Tsingtao, Shanghai, soo- chow and the cross-C China Lunghai railroad, Nanking, the capital, and Canton, the commercial capital of the south.
 At fIankow the Japanese were taking the provisional capital to which the Chinese government hat moved from Nanking.
 Drove sae Miles
 From Nanking, the Japanese had driven $40 miles up the Yangtse. Chungking was another 620 milea to the west by the roads the Jap- anese would have to take if they sought to capture 1t.
 However, there were increasing indications that some detinite move toward peace would be disclosed soon.
 It seemed fairly certain that Great Britain and Germany were actually, as reported, trying to find a way to mediate. From the Chi- nese viewpoint, the supply line Of the Canton -fiankow railroad had been cut off. Japanese were held- ing every important seaport and key city inland. From the Japan csc viewpoint, the war was costly. The Japanese actually only held small areas around the bigicities, Querrillas ran wild over the great CT part of the country which they nominally controlled, and the guer- rillas were constantly harrassing supply lines and isolated troops.
 Chinese Army Intact
 More important, regardless of the cutting off of supply lines, the Chi- nese army, numbering more than 100000 trained men and an almost unlimited number of irregulars, was still intact. Only ct Shanghai had 1t disregarded the advice of foreign military advisers and challenged the Japanese. with their superior arms, in mass battle.
 Further, It was asserted that the Chinese. already had on hand suiii- cient munitions to last anywhere from several months to one year.
 For ell these reasons, foreign quarters here expected to hear soon of . real effort to end the war-and to hear that there would be listen- CTS on both Chinese and Japanese sides to any suggestions.
 Kai-Ehek To Fight on
 Chungking, China, Oct. 25--(Ur) .--QeneralisSiIno Chlang KaiAShek is at the front west of Hankow with the Chinese army and has decided to fight on, lt was announced ofii- cially here today ct the new erner- gency capital of the Chinese gov ernment.

 The Chinese government already was established here and foreign diplomatic envoys had arranged their own headquarters.

On this important phase Of the invest
ment home-building market. rs con-
trasted with individual home owning,
the current Federal Home Loan Bank
Review says:
The relatively favorable position
that the owners OF rental properties
have held during the last year has been
an important factor contributing to the
improved real estate market. In the
face Of rather rapid declines in build
ing costs Through the winter and early
months Of 1880, rents paid on occu-
pied dwellings have continued to in
crease, Speculative builders and many
potential home owners realize that
shortage of adequate and habitable
quarters has accumulated during the
depression years, and that unless an
other major depression occurs, the
pressure caused by the demand for
new housing facilities must be relieved
somewhat in the next few years. With
relatively high rents being received
IN recent months. and with lower con-
struction costs. many more residential
units have been built than last year,

Higher Costs Seen.
In connection with building costs the
review has pointed out that costs in
August increased for the first time in
year and that the outlook seems to
be for higher costs.
AS indicative of the major position
held by savings and loan associations
in home financing, the board stated
that from 1925 through 1887 these
thrift and home financing institutions
made in each year from minimum
Of IS per cent to a maximum OF So
per cent OF all loans which were made
in those years by private financial in
Stituticns.
Savings and loan associations thus

BUTTE AUDIENCE
HEARS GRAPHIC
STORY OF SPAIN

A splendid meeting was held at the
old Butte High School auditorium
last Tuesday evening when many
liberal people and trade ~unionists Of
Butte gathered to listen to the story
of Spain. The whole essence of the
meeting may be summarized by a
sentence made by one of the speak
ers; I'VE pledge ourselves to materi-
ally aid the Spanish people in every
legal way possible in their present
struggle for peace and freedom"
Seldom has a Butte audience been
treated to such distinguished speak
ers as gathered on the platform, all
of whom were direct from the Span
ish peninsula. About 900 were
present.
The speakers were Ramon Sender,
novelist, poet and soldier; Oguir
Preticelli, press secretary of the
General Workers Union e. v. To;
Jose Bergamin, writer and leader of
SPANS progressive Catholic intellec-
tuals; and Carmen Mesna, leading
Spanish woman social worker. A
further detailed account of the meet
ing will be given in subsequent
issues of the Montana Labor News
together with the resolution which
was adopted at the meeting.

Secretary OF Local So,
u. F. w. A. Laid OF
By The ((( al Grow

One-time candidate for state sena-
tor of Big Horn County, Superin-
tendent Robert Yellowtail of the
Crow Reservation gave labor the
padded glove February l, 1888. Lo-
cal SO of the United Federal Workers
of America, a c. l.. o. affiliate, lost
its organizer in a neat shuttle by the
superintendent.
CCC funds allotted to the Crow
Reservation in the amount of $780, 600
July 1st, 1887, were to last twelve
months. At the end of six months
they were all spent except $10,0 900.
A reduction of personnel became
imminent because of the poorly bud
geted funds. The union organizer,
Ray Chagnon, employed as junior
forester, was laid off.
No discrimination because of I'M
ion activity is ascertainable, but why
was Chagnon laid off when no re-
sponsibility for the poor budgeting
of funds can be placed on him?
Could the LaFollette investigating
committee find any work to be done
in the Federal services, we think so.
Local SO passed a resolution ask
ing for inquiry into the matter. The
Office of Indian Affairs stated in a
letter to the union that no mis-
budgeting is apparent because
weather conditions and other factors
.necessitate the expenditure of funds
in the manner done.
CCC operated on the Crow Reser-
walton since 1884, never spent its
funds like that before, The Indian
Roads Departing operating under the
same conditions at Grow budgets its
funds over a twelve-month period.
It does much the same type of work
as Gee. It operates under the same
weather and other conditions as CCC.
Six other persons were let go at
the same time as Chagnon, however,
could it be possible that Chagnon
became an undes able employee be-
cause he dared to start a union?
Very truly yours,
HOWARD WERK,
Citizen at Large.
