success of French and British at Yer dun Slaughter House Has Tendency
 to Send NeutraIs to Their Side.

Athens, March 19, via Paris, March 20, 11:13 a. m.-The impression pre- vails in high political circles in Athens that Rumania shortly will abandon her policy of neutrality in favor of the entente allies.
 Should Rumania enter the war Greek officially would be placed in an embarrassing position, rhC ,Urcc "f which already is felt Military repre- sentatives of the entente allies do not disguise the fact that at present they have no need for Greece and >i" not dt sire to assume responsibility for main tenante and equipm ent of the Greek army unless they are assured defin- itely of co-opratiOn in the event of an allied offensive in Macedonia.
 The course of the fight at Ecrdun nas produced a marked impression on even the most determined non-intcr- Ventionists, and the rONaliSt press in changing it's tone in regard to the par tcipatiOn of Greece in the war. The feeling of allied dip1OmatistS seems to be that if Greece desires to enter the war now she will have to do so on her own initiative and with no conditions With respect to territorial cOmpcnsa- tion

Naturally I could not continue any business rcla- tions with q man who did this sort of thing, so Livermorc and I decided we would remove him as vice president and general manager of the company.

 Charge is Abused.
 Mir. Momands charge that I en- tered into any conspiracy to ruin the company in which I was the only per son who had put up any real money, is absurd, as everyone who knows me perfectly we'll understands. I went into the business expecting that what appeared to be an ingenious, useful device, could be developed the same as any hardware speciality, and the only result has been considerable loss of money by myself and interminable lit iga:ion and publicity which MT.

RATE IF WAGES FUR LABOR
 IN NORTH

Governor Strong. of Alaska, in his annual report on labor conditions in the territory. says;
 There was an excess of labor in nearly all industrial sections of Alas ka during the fiscal year. Despite many warnings given by government officials and others through the pub lie press the influx of men seeking work was almost continuous. In part this influx of men seeking work was stimulated by the beginning of con- struction work on the government railroad at Anchorage on Cook Inlet. However up to this time, a consid- erable amount of labor has been ab- sorbed in railroad work. while mining and prospecting afforded employment for others.
 The mines of southeastern Alaska gave employment to a large number of men, and the number so employed is constantly being increased. It is expected that the opening of some Of the coal fields in Alaska will greatly extend the volume of mining opera. tions throughout the territory through the furnishing of coke and cheaper fuel for industrial use. The fishing industry the present season gave em- ployment to the usual number of men; in this industry many Indians, Chi nese, Japanese and other aliens are employed.
 The territorial legislature at it's re- cent session passed an eight-hour law for all workers in lode and placer mines, and during the past summer fin the Ruby and Fairbanks mining dis tricts labor strikes resulted in some of the placer mines, when the employ CTS attempted to reduce the wage scale which had been paid for 10- hour day In the Fairbanks district the difficulty was soon adjusted, how ever, and the men returned to work. In the Ruby district the difficulty has continued without settlement. An eight-hour law was already generally in force in the lode mines of the ter ritory. The wage scale paid to placer miners in the Fairbanks and Ruby dls= tricts during the summer season prior to the passage of the elght-hour law l was $5 per day, in the Nome district no reduction of the wage scale fol- lowed the enforcement of the eight hour law. Wage scales in other parts of the territory have remained prac- tically stationary during the year. The scale of wages paid in lode mines in Coastal Alaska is from s to $3.50 per day.
