ENDORSED BY LABOR UNION.
Demand for Increased Wages by
Women Of Engraving Bureau.

The stand taken by the woman en-
ployes OF the bureau of engraving and
printing In demanding a 10 per cent in
crease in wages and opposing a change In
the system of payments from per diem to
piece work was Endorsed by the Central
Labor Union at its weekly meeting held
last night.
Not only did the union strongly oppose
the proposed system Of payments, but 1t
was stated that the girls OF the bureau
were entitled to 10 per cent increase be-
cause of the fact that within the next
three years the government would un-
doubleday introduce additional machinery
which would result In the saving of so
many dollars that the women themselves
should share in It.

within the next half century American
explorers had penetrated what was then
known as the Oregon country. American
missionaries to the Indians had gone
along the northern Pacific coast and
their work with that of the explorers
brought the beginning of American set
tlement in this region. Upon the strength
of these explorations many Americans
were of the opinion that the United
States possessions along the western
coast should extend to meet the Russian
territory Of Alaska, which reached to
"a degrees 40 minutes north latitude. The

Iingford Wreck.

Howard Elliott, president of the New
York. New Haven and Hartford railroad,
conferred here today with the interstate
commerce commission about conditions
upon his line. He was particularly con-
cerned about the forthcoming report Of
the commission on the Wailingford rear
end collision, which Is to be made public
late tomorrow.
President Elliott was given no inAine
of the character of the report prepared
by Commissioner McChord after an ex-
| haustive personal investigation. He was
assured. however. that published fore
casts of the findings Of the commission
were unauthorized, misleading and essen
TALLY inaccurate.
Evidence Thoroughly Analysed.
Both Commissioner McChord and Chief
Inspector Belnap have not only analysed
thoroughly the evidence they adduced
themselves, but have carefully considered
the testimony at the coroner's inquest.
Their conclusions. therefore, are based
upon thorough knowledge OF the con-
ditions surrounding the disaster and OF
the operatives who were the human fac
tors in 1t.
Beyond the statement that any fore
cast of the report thus far published is
premature and Inaccurate, Commissioner
McChord declined today to go further
into details. 1t is known, however, that
lit will contain not only q severe ar
raignment of operating conditions upon
the New Haven, but of men. Response
bility for the accident is placed def
nitely, IMAM fault being an important
factor
Proba bilities are strong that the COM
mission. in its forthcoming annual re-
port, will recommend to Congress the
enactment of legislation that will reduce
materially the chances of serious railway
disasters.

Suffered Most From Fires.

California, Arizona and New Mexico
have suffered most during the past sea
son.
The various causes Of fires have not
changed greatly In their relative pro-
portions. Railroads and lightning head
the list. with campers next There has
been, however, q marked decrease in the
number OF fires caused by burning brush
which, according to the forest officers, In.
dictates closer cooperation with the set
tiers in and near the forests and with
cumberland owners in fire prevention and
control.
1t Is still true. nevertheless, that q large
proportion of all fires started are due tc
human agencies and may generally be
charged against carelessness. Fires
caused by lightning. are, of course, not
preventable. but the system of lookouts
by which they may be detected imme-

THE LAKE or THB WOODS.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

The central point in the many disputes
regarding the use OF the international
boundary waters between the United
States and Great Britain is tho Lake of
the Woods. a seemingly unimportant
body Of water about evenly divided be-
tween Minnesota and Ontario. The lake
covers moro than 400 miles Of water
and its surface is dotted with at least a
thousand islands, besides q peninsula
which Is almost an island and has q land
surface equal to nearly a third Of the ex-
panse of water. Lake Of the Woods is
the outlet OF the Rainy river. which forms
the northern boundary between the state
of Minnesota and Ontario. It is also the
beginning OF the Winnipeg river. which
connects it with Lake Winnipeg upon the
northwest. The region surrounding Lake
Of the Woods is romantic and wonder
fully attractive. It's resources are seem
ingly limitless. They include primeval
forest land, rich farm land. hunting and
fishing, and practically unlimited water
power which may be developed for indus
trial purposes.

FOREST FIRE LOSSES
LESS THAN HERETOFORE
Officials and Rangers Gratified
Over Near End of Period of
Greatest Danger.

National forest officials and rangers,
with the approach OF the end of Sep
TENDER. are breathing little easier, for
that marks practically the end of the
period of greatest danger from forest
fires. The loss to national forests from
fire this year Is declaFkd to have been
less than ever before. Although there is
said to be always some danger from
carelessness of campers or of settlers
burning brush and clearing land, the
real danger season extends only from
the middle of June until the middle OF
September.
Forest officers throughout the west are
congratulating themselves on a season
so markedly free from heavy losses.
They feel that the immunity from loss
has been due to two principal causes,
partly to favorable season. but largely
to much better organization for fire
prevention than has been attained here
tofore. The effectiveness OF the organi-
zation is shown particularly by the fact
that while there were in all approx
mately 2,26O fires. as against 2,47O last
year, yet the area burned SO far this
year is only about 10000 acres, as against
10000 acres in 1919 and 10000 in 1911.

Drainage in Dispute to be understood.

Lake Of the
ter, some too small to be called more
than ponds and others with areas of
many miles. such as Lake Winnipeg and
Rainy lake. The drainage Of Lake of
the Woods basin has been In dispute
about fifteen years. In 1892 the Cana
dians began to develop water power from
it's outlet They received permission from
the Canadian government to construct
dam at what was then called Rat Port
age. This began the town Of Kenora,
which is now a fiourishing western city.
Its hour mills and other industries as
well as its lighting and street railways,
are operated by power supplied from the
dam. By the time these industries were
In operation the water level Of Lake Of
the Woods had been raised by the dam
so that 1t overiowed its boundaries.
Thousands Of acres of farnllands located
along the northern boundary of Minneso-
ia we're thus submerged and formed the
first basis of complaint against the use
of these boundary waters for industrial
purposes. This complaint has never been
satisfactorily adjusted. although settle
ment Is now under consideration.
A few years after the establishment Of
the kenora dam the United States gave
a corporation permission to develop water
power at Koochiching falls upon the
Rainy river. This river Is the principal
tributary Of the Lake of the Woods The
utilization OF its power upon the Ameri-
can side created dissatisfaction among
the Canadians, who felt that their inter
ests were not being considered. The Ca
madam government then granted the cor
poration the privilege of building u dam
across Rainy river at that point, with the
understanding that as large a plant be
erected upon the Canadian as upon the
American side.

pulp factory in the world is in operation
there. On the Canadian side the town Is
known as st. Francis. A paper mill Of
the same gigantic size Is under con-
struction and already the town has a
population of $4,000.
The Increased water power for these
enormous plants naturally lowered the
water below the dam. Consequently COM
plants have come to both governments
from lumbermen who do not have enough
water at times to float their logs. from
navigation companies. who complain that
the operation of their steamboats, has
been interfered with. and from fishermen
of the region, who have for years secured
valuable food fish all along the shores
OF Lake of the Woods. The fishermen
claim that the changing of the level of
the water in the lake has destroyed the
natural spawning grounds for the fish
and thus interfered materially with their
industry.
Each of these complaints will receive
the attention of the Joint commission re-
Gently appointed by the United States
government and the British government
water controversies. After the necessary
survey is completed the commission will
be in a position to decide what should
be the proper level for the waters Of the
Lake of the Woods with due regard to
all of the interests involved. It may
decide that the great industrial plants
which caused the submerged lands are of
more value to the future development Of
the country than the acres of farm land
If this should prove to be the case,
recommendation will be made that the
owners Of the submerged land be reim-
bursed to its full value. and both govern
ments will be ready to carry out such
recommendation.
