FOR INDUSTRIAL SAFETY.

There are two bills now pending in
congress calling upon the federal au-
thority to take a part In the general
movement for industrial safety. One is
the Mann bill introduced by the Repub-
lican congressman from Illinois. and
the other is the Bremner bill intro
duced by President Wilson'S longtime
friend and co-worker in New Jersey.
The Mann bill provides for the crea-
ton of "a bureau Of labor safety Gum
der a commission) to make general and
special investigation and examination
Of labor safety plans and devices Of all
kinds. :. and to make public the re-
suits Of such investigation and exami-
nation
The 'BremEer bill provides for prac-
tically the same things az are Included
in the Mann bill But. in addition, It
calls for a museum Of safety and labo-
ratory wherein may be examined and
tested the relative efficiency Of types Of
guards or other devices for the prptec-
ton Of machinery. calculated to safe
guard the employee or the general pub
lie from injury or Industrial disease"
Congressman Bremner feels that such a
headquarters where methods from all
industries in all sections can be investi-
gated will react powerfully ON progress
towards Industrial safety. In addition
to the officials Of the bureau Of indus
trial safety. the bill provides for the APP
pointment of an advisory board Of
twenty directors. selected from the
chief industrial centers Of the United
States, who are to serve without pay.
It Is understood, says the Survey.
that the president has expressed his
approval of the Bremner bill as an adj
ministration measure. It is singularly
in line with one OF the unique planks
in the social and industrial justice plat
form of the Progressive party and
should command their support. The
American Federation Of Labor has
come out for the Mann bill and the gem
eral principles involved have been en-
dorsed by organisations Of employers.
It IL not impossible that q Mann-Brem-
ner bill will write into the law this new
spirit Of human conservation in indus
try which is making itself heard above
! the ruthless call to the daughters Of

FAIRBANKS MAN PAID
 HIMSELF; THEFT CHARGED


 FAIRBANKS, Aug. S.-Lars Peter son, who was arrested on the charge of having stolen a pan of black sand and gold dust from the cabin of J. S. Rosenburg, on Dome creek, has been bound over to the grand jury.
 The accused does not deny that he took the black sand from Rosenburg's cabin. He claims that Rosenburg Is indebted to him but that he has been unable to make collection. When he visited the miners cabin the latter had just finished cleaning up the sluice boxes and Peterson, finding that he was unable to collect the debt took the law into his own hands and appropriated the cleanup.
 The affair has recalled similar occurrence which took place at Circle shortly after the failure of the Wash ington-Alaska bank, when Frank Guoin. at the point of a revolver helped himself to the amount which Barnette owed him when the bank failed. No action was taken to pros- ecute Guoln and Peterson was prob ably acting in the belief that he would be equally as lucky.

GOOD WORK ABROAD.

Representatives of the United States in Europe without exception have met the stern duties of the past fortnight with energy and wisdom. A little while ago an organized anti.Adminis. traction clique in this country was sneering at every man commissioned in the diplomatic and consular service by President Wilson. Nobody is sheer. ing now.
 Efficiency and zeal in this instance have not been confined to Ambassa. dors. Our Consuls have been equally energetic, and the genius for organi. zation so often displayed by Ameri. cans in times of turmoil has been re- vealed in many places, under the most trying conditions, by our fellow-citi. zens having no official station.
 Painful as have been the experience es of thousands of -Americans uneX. pectedly overtaken by war, the worst is now past, thanks chiefly to the in. telligence and devotion displayed at their own embassies and consulates.- New York World.

TO CALL ELECTION
 FOR ANNEXATION

The present city council Is serious. ly considering the matter of extend ing the city limits. The territory that may be taken in consists of the Gold en Belt addition and several strips of
 unattached territory adjoining and some more territory extending up the Gold creek valley to the mining prop critics and near Recreation park; also other additions to the Northward probably including the settlers on the tract just beyond and adjoining Ever green cemetery for which townsite survey has been asked
 Members of the city council are known to be of the opinion that 1t would be good plan to call for special election in the city on the day fixed for the November general election for the Territory. It is thought by so doing some expense might be saved the people and an in- creased vote on the proposition be obtained. The election will probably not be called until the council has been petitioned by residents and prop. erty owners in the outside territory affected to do so.
 The idea Is being discussed of hay ing the election of non.residents and property owners seeking admission to the city for this new territory hold an election on the same day and the matter could thus be definitely and quickly disposed of
 Residents of the Golden Belt addi. tion and others living outside of the city limits are dependent on the city government for lights, sidewalks, po- lice and fire protection, and street and sewer improvements. More than majority of these residents have vol asked that their property be assessed and have paid taxes to the city government, but they are shut out from any participation in city aE- fairs and all moneys expended by the city in such territory are done with doubtful legal authority. For this reason many of the residents living outside the city and members of the city council think the territory should be annexed.

 MT. White has also been on Crow creek recently and bears out the stor. ies of the richness of that stream. = Seward Gateway,
