CHEAPNESS IS
UPPERMOST IN
LANDOF JAPS
SAN KKANCISCO, Jan. Ifc. — A
locomotive engineer receives 50 cents
a day and a primary school teacher
$15.50 a month in Japan, according
to A. Ulut^isuma, member of a party
of Japanese statisticians, which vis
ited here recently after a tour of the
United States.
The average newspaper or maga
zine writer does not receive* over $.*>•'*
a month, while the average monthly
income of a Tokio doctor is $50, ac-,
cording to Mutasuma.
“Some of the boilermakers in Ja
pan are getting the unheard of wage
of $2 a day," he stated. “The ship
building industry is lively.and the
wages of boilermakers has advanced
decidedly since the war began.
“Railroad firemen receive .'10 cents
a day and firemen 25 cents. Railroad
boilermakers are getting 40 and 50
cents a day, but these men are flock
ing into the shipyards, because of the
higher wages paid there.
“We have no trade union on the
American basis. The cost of iiving
is quickening the labor union idea
among our peoples. The school teach
ers and railroad men are agitating
for labor unions to help their condi
tions. There is no set opposition to
labor unions in Japan."

GANNERYMEN
ARE SENDING
GOODS NORTH
SEATTLE, Jan. 18. — Lumber,
1 machinery, box shocks and other sup
plies for the 11)18 season ot the Alas
Imn fish canneries are being sent
north more than a month earlier than
in previous years. Nearly every
steamer leaving for the north is car
rying cannery supplies. Evidently
Alaska cannery men are not intend
ing to take any chances of a short
age of vessels on the northern runs.
