EVENTS OF 1923 IN REVIEW
(Continued from Another Page)
slderable excitement was caused in
May by the' capture of a number of
foreigners by Chinese bandits, who de>
mantled large ransom and immunity.
The prisoners included several
Americans and English, and for a tfm?
armed intervention br their goren*
ments seemed likely. ITowever, the
Pekin government bought off the out
laws after long negotiations.

I 'resident Ooolidgo, Governor i'lnchot
of Pennsylvania undertook to handle
the' problem, and proposed a compro

officially t \vt? days latter, but' the nego
tiations were continued. IMnchot's
plan was accepted September K and
the miners resumed work on Septem
ber 20.
At vhrlous times during the year the
fftllwuy labor board adjusted the
wages of certain classes of rail work
ers. usually raising theirv. Some of
the roads made separate agreements
with their employees, Riving them In
creased pay. April 9 the steel indus
try raised the wages of common labor
11 per cent and adjusted the pay of
other classes, and on April 18 the Chi
cago packing house employee^ and
building trade workers were given an
increase. The steel makers had. baen
attacked bitterly for maintaining the
twelve-hour day, and on August 2 El
bert H. Gary of the U. S. Steel corpo
ration announced its elimination.
The American Federation or Labor
met In annual convention in Portland,
Ore., and, among ? other acts, voted
agttlnst .the formation of a political
labor party and also against the* rec

ernment and 'the American Red Cross
-were swift with relief measures, and
other nations Joined in the work.

the ruined cities.
