Italy 'Chinese ,Labor Adopting .Fascist sIdeal to Offset Com- munism and Avoid Strikes Shanghai.—Fascism has replaced' Communism as the dominant idea in the labor organization of Shanghai, which is the largest industr al.centre in China. This is the impression Which one carries 'away from a talk with representatives of the Labor ljniflcation Committee, the body which now officially beads the Shanghai 'labor movement and claims to super- vise the activities of 200 trade unions, with 300;000 -members, of whom a third are 'wanton and a sixth are child ren. One reaches the headquarters of the Labor Unification Committee by going outside the 'boundaries of the International Settlement and thread- - ing one's waythrough the winding streets of the more picturesdue nee tive eity. The building of the com- mittee is strongly guarded by sol 'diors in the uniform of the' National - 1st army.. This is due to some ,con-. cern fest the Communists, ,who still carry on an underground propaganda, might stir up a sudden attack on the place. Officials of the committee were very emphatic in dissociating their 'organi- zation from any connection With Com- munism or any other radical ideas. Communists Eliminated. ...After,General Chiang Kai-shek closed dwn the former unions, which were under Qommunist domination, the Labor Unification Committee was appointed by the Nanking Govern- ment for the purpose of reorganizing; .the Shanghai labor movement,' ex-; plained one official: "In order to elim- inate the Communist influence' wo re- quired all the trade unions which de- sired to afliliate'lvith us to undergo a new registration. We sent investi- gators to find out whether any of, the leaders in the unions were Comenun- ists; and we made it a. condition of affiliation that such leaders should be. removed. So at the present time we have an altogether non-Communist labor movement. When we learn that Communists are still active in trying to stir rip strikes we notify the police and the military authorities. During the last two months, however, there have been peectically no strikes." In contrast to the Communists, who encouraged the workers to strike:for whatever they wanted, the Labor. Unf- Rcatiort Committee exerts a' decicleclly moderating influence on the unions which come under, its jurisdiction. It goes on the theorythat the strike Is a weapon of last resort, which should only be employed atter all other means of settlement have boon tried. unsuccessfully. • Rights of Labor Recognized. It also recognizes the right of the employer to earn a profit from his enterprise. When its investigators are culled in to adjust a labor dispute they are bound to take Into considera- tion'the financial condition ot-the en- terprise, as well as the demands and needs of the workers. So far the Labor Unification Com- mittee has participated in the adjust- ment of more than 500 disputes and lr it receives every day 30 or 40 letters on industrial cuestions; with requests - for mediation and intervention. The coniniittee differs from most American and .western European trade unions in such matters as its direct dependence upon the Govern. nreut and its recognition of the• in- terests o fthe employer: Mr. Fel, one of the officials, declared that Italy was the model which the Shanghai trade unions were following at the present time.

Capek bottle that Cheese jokes are found In the literature cf all times—in the Hindu Veda, on Egyptian tombstones, in the Edda and in the Jewish and the Christian Bibles. In fact, he says, the mother-in-law roles are such an old thing that they leave become a sociological Pheno- menon. hanmenon. Capek alkls that it is strange that the pr'overbia'l mother-in-law joke ,al ways tells of the alleged unfriendly re- lations between herself and her son - In -law, but never of the antagonism to her daeghter•in-law. 7n the same manner the henpecked husband is de- fended, but never the arbitrary treat- ment of a wife by her husband. The playwright asserts that jests about the mother-in-law and the hen- pecked husband were crested by men, not women. Al! such jokes arose in prehistoric times.
