in news value; that the strikes are
less sensational in character; that,
through familiarity, the public In
terest has waned.
The latter was bound to occur.
Nevertheless, 1t is a pity, because
the loss of man days steadily piles
up and gradually the grip OF an In
tolerable labor tyranny is fastening
itself on the country. In the period
from January l to July l there were
1877 strikes. costing 2,458,150 man
DAYS on defense contracts. In the
week from July 20 to 27 there were
% strikes, involving $4,000 employees.
In the last five days two additional
strikes affecting naval work have
occurred.
Unions Will Get Concessions.
One of these is at Key West,
where the construction of new naval
bases has been halted because 900
A. F. L. carpenters walked out in
sympathy with 300 colored laborers
who wanted more money. The boss
of the local carpenters union said
he never had heard OF an A. F. l..
order outlawing strikes on defense
projects.
The other was the city-wide strike
of electrical workers which, for part
of the week, stalled the $1,000 900
expansion program of the Brooklyn
Navy Yard.
Some of these strikes will be Ger
titled to the Presidents Mediation
Board; some will not be. All Of
them, however, will be settled by
concessions to the unions not only
in the matter of wages but in union
recognition in other directions con-
sidered more important by the la
Dor bosses.
Compulsory Unionization.
That has been the practically uni
form result of every defense strike
since the first one. At the rate
things are going, before another
year has passed these professional
labor bosses will have made great
progress toward their main objec-
tive, which is the compulsory union
ization of all labor. When this is
achieved, no worker can get a Job
unless he belongs to the union.
That is another way of sayine
that no employer can hire or keer

Now many of them do, and they

 Seriously Burned

Miss Mccarthy has made her home with her brother and his wife. According to Mrs. Mccarthy, the nurse, after returning home last night, stayed up reading for some time before going to bed. She was heard going downstairs about 3 a. m, then apparently returned to bed to read.
 Mrs Mccarthy was awakened shortly after , o'clock by the sound of coughing. She smelled no smoke but, alarmed, she reused her husband and the rest of the family.
 As MT. Mccarthy threw open his sisters bedroom door he was met with burst of smoke and flame but forced his way to carry her from the blazing bed. As he neared the door his wife and daughter helped him carry Miss Mccarthy out.

 Fire Marshal Den Lahey, after an investigation, said that as Miss Me Carthy dozed of while smoking and reading, her cigarette dropped and set fire to rug at the side of the bed. The fire went through to the flooring, then set the mattress and bedding aflame. It is believed that smoke quickly overcame Miss Mo- Carthy.
 Dr. Brennan said that Miss Mo- Carthy had suffered extensive first, second and third degree burns over almost her whole body.

 StiR Jap Demands
 Shanghai, Aug. 7.-(UP)-Diplo- mats heard reports today that Japan had asked Russia to demilitarize Vladivostok and a zone along the Sntire Manchukuoan border, to give Japan economic concessions in Si- beria and Sakhalin Island, and to guarantee that the United States will get no basis in Russia.
 Diplomats doubted that Russia would consider such demands un- less the situation in the west made 1t imperative that she make deal to prevent a Japanese invasion Of Goheria.
 The custer of Yosuke Matsuoka as Japanese foreign minister has nullifled the Russo Japanese neu- Erality pact which he negotiated, l diplomats believed, and the pact would not prevent Japan from put ting strong pressure on Russia.

 Britain Denies Report
 Britain had denied the existence Df a military agreement with China but reporters from Smuggling said British Chinese discussions had reached a concrete stage" which British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden's speech to Commons yester- day was taken to confirm.
 Observers were believed that n1 spite of the British and American warnings to Japan against moving into Hhailand, Japanese militariSts an control of the southward expan- sion program would continue to put pressure CT the Thai government for a defense pact which would per- init Japanese troops to be garrisoned in that country. The warnings by United States Secretary of State CordeIr Hull and British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden were be- lieved designed to conf1ne Japan to an economic, instead of military penetration of Thailand.
