(UP) Japan Is mub Uzlng it workers and using them as a civilian army under a strict discipline nearly as strict u that Imposed upon soldiers in the field. Under a government ordinance be ing prepared for enforcement' thlr fall, some 4.000.000 workers In Key Industries will be registered, lnderod assigned jobs at regulated wage and moved about as the government dic tates. The mobilization of labor, being carried out under the national mo bilization act. Is a tremendous change In the traditional Japanese attitude toward employment. Previously, ex cept for the enforced military train ing, a man's career has been largely a matter of family consideration. Now the state Is being substituted for the family as the deciding factor in the choice of work. Labor Unions Wenkened. Labor unions, existent but never strong, will have even less Influence In the future. The objective of the plan for laoor registration Is to have a continual and ample supply of workers for the munitions industry. Article 21 of the national mobiliz ation act provides: "When found necessary for pur poses of national general moblllzd? tlon. the government may, in accord ance with the provisions of an im perial ordinance, cause subjects of th empire, or those employing or using subjects of the empire, to re port on vocational ability, or wc amlne the vocational ability of subjects- of the empire." Under that general authorization, the government has been preparing detailed requirements. The news paper Kokumln said that, the ordin ance would be ready for enforcement In November. Modified Conscription Plan. 1 Require .the registration of all males between the ages of 16 and 60 who have been holding Jobs di rectly or indirectly related to the munitions Industry for the past three months. a Require the registration of men who have studied in engineering or mining universities or schools. 3 Demand reports from employers who engage five or more workers. 4 Put into effect enforcing and regulatory machinery. (S Provide for inspection of em ployed personnel. 6 Provide for examinations to de termine vocational aptitudes. 7 Carry provisions for shifting of workers from Job to Job as necessity requires. 8 Prevent changes of employment without permission.. ft Provide wage scales. After the plan is In operation . workers will receive identification cards and will be subject to call when need for their services arises MELLON LEFT BIG SUM IN PERSONAL ESTATE PITTSBURGH. Sept 1.

Bank 'HAROLD BROWN INSURES THE TOWN" DEFEAT OF RUSSIA IN 1905 BROUGHT Rise Of Japanese Recalled By Recent Outbreaks On Border Edge Today Is Held By Soviet Forces. By Alexander R. George (AP Feature Writer) WASHINOTON. The world was flabbergasted one old February morning In horse -and -buggy 1904 by news from far-off Manchuria Tiny Japan had suddenly opened war on gigantic Russia I It seemed incredible that "the cute little brown men" nobody then thought or Japan as a militaristic nation with Asia-dominating ambi tions dared to tangle with the mighty Muscovite bear. Even more surprising was the news a few day later that the Japanese were wallop ing the Russians on land and tea The big bear, in quest of Asiatic honey, had prowled too deep Ints Far Eastern territory lor little Japan's comfort. Russia's Gibraltar of the east, at Port Arthur In Chinese Man churia, and the czar (.. warships there had become "claws stretching toward the throat of Nippon." Britain, which then had a "pro tect China" alliance with Japan, also frowned on Russian military pene tration. Russia refused to withdraw her troops from Manchuria and be fore the czarlst government realized what was going on, the Japanese had destroyed part of the Russian fleet at Port Arthur and had won a series of land battles. Out of the Blue There were no preliminary border clashes like those of tho last seven years between Soviet and Japanese troops. All of a sudden Japan launch ed a war to the finish, mustering all of its forces to drive the Russians from Manchuria. The Russians rallied later with re inforcements from home ond put up a stout but usually losing struggle. The Japanese dealt them three stag gering blows: Impregnable Port Ar thur was captured after a terrific seven-months' siege, the Japanese I won a decisive battle at Mukden ana a tremendous naval victory in the Sea of Japan. Admiral Togo's "mosquito" flotilla annihilated the proud Baltic fleet which had steamed half way around the world to avenge earlier Russian naval reverses. United States folks, sympathetic toward Japan as "the little fellow" In the war, spoke of the diminutive Togo aa a second Admiral Dewey.

The Japanese sold iers' smiling disdain of death stirred Yankee admiration while tales of St bertan dungeon cruelties to polltlcnl exiles had made autocratic Russia unpopular with many Americans.

The war dragged on. the Russians steadily losing ground, until preal dent Roosevelt Induced the two gov ernments to start peace negotiations In August. 1905. Under the treaty signed in September, Russia aban doned her claims to Manchuria. China resumed control of that coun try and Japan took over the lease of strategic Port Arthur. The world didn't realise It then, but Japan had become a big league nation. The poorly-trained Russian soldiers displayed great courage' but most of them didn't know what It was all about and wanted to go home to their wives and children. Typical I s the question put ta an English cor respondent at the front by a gigan tic mujlk: "Tell me. little father, what made the Japanese so angry at us?" On the other side, every man, wo man ond child in Japan were united In fervor behind the emperor, the army and navy in "defense of the homeland." Unrest among the Russian musses led to the revolution of 1903. com pelling the Russian government to divide Its attention between grave troubles at home and the war In distant Manchuria. The Russian sold iers were woefully lacking In cap able leadership, In discipline and teamwork among their major officers. Threat From the Air The huge Soviet army of today Is recruited from the same peasant and worker groups, but It Is rated Immeasurably superior In training. Intelligence and national spirit. It Is no longer the illiterate, bewildered "cannon fodder" which followed the Imperial eagle. Both Russia and Japan now have considerably better equipment than In 1904, but tho gains made by the Russians in soldier ability and con fidence and In reputed officer intel ligence are relatively much greater. Moreover, the development of the bombing plane has made Japan much more vulnerable to attack today than It was 34 years ago. Russian air dromes near Vladivostok are only some 600 to 700 mhes from large cities of Japan with their flimsy wood and paper houses and their highly concentrated Industrial plants.
