APAN CLOSES |TS GERMAN
 BANK

YOKOHAMA, Nov. 4. - The Yoko- hama branch of the Deutsch-A bank has been closed by order of the Japanese government, and all its busi- ness suspended. This shutting up of the only German bank in Japan will seriously affect German prisoners of war whose deposits formed the largest part of the business. It is estimated that deposits of about 4,000 German prisoners are locked up until the of ficial ban on the institution is re- moved, which will probably not be until the closing of the war. The to- tai deposits by Germans are esti, mated to be 3.oOO,OOO yen or about $1.. 5OO,OOO
 Japanese papers, which led a cam. paign last spring for more vigorous measures against German residents and German institutions in Japan, ex press satisfaction over the closing oi the bank.

S|X COMMERCIAL AGENTS ID BE
 APPOINTEDD

NEW YORK, NOV. 4. - Plans for extending the work of the division of commercial agents, which is under the bureau of foreign and domestic com merce of the department of commerce, were announced here today by Eliot Grinnell Mears, chief of the division Mir Mears said that next month 12 examinations in various trades and technical subjects will be held for new agents and it was expected that at least six men will receive appoint ments shortly afterward, while others will be chosen as fast as the appro- priations permit. As a part of more active program the office of the di- vision was recently moved to this city from Washington so as to be in closer 1 touch with the channels of trade and with business men.
 The work of the special agents who, MT. Mears said, are the highest class men obtainable in their specialties, consists first in making preliminary study of a given industry in their country. They then go abroad to in vestigate trade opportunities, adyis- ing possible foreign purchasers as to what goods in that industry are avail, able for export from this country They also. he said. send back reports for the use of the trade here as to what market opportunities they find abroad and then upon leaving each country prepare a detailed report Of their findings, which is printed and placed at the disposal of such business men as may be interested.

AUTHOR WRITES IN LABOR
 CONDITIONS

SEATTLE. Nov. 1. - Strike reguIa- tion as exercised by the general or national unions in the United States is described by Dr. George Milton lanes of the university political and social science department in his re- cent book on The Control of Strikes in the American Trade Unions"
 Trade unions do not foment strikes. and striking is not their reason for being, in spite of contrary popular ideas,' declared Dr. James, in speaking of the purpose of unions. "Collective bargaining is the ultimate goal of nearly all trade unions, and to reach it, not only organization, but disci. pitne, is needed. Strikes are danger ous to the organization and costly"
 The control of strikes has passed out of the hands of most of the local unions, according to Dr. James, and now rests under certain conditions in the national committees These cen tral bodies, which are representative of the locals, call strikes, regulate them, pay the benefits out of the com mon treasury, and dea! directly with the employers. Capitalization of re- sponsibility and uniformity give strength to the employees in their dealings with the employers, he says.
 The evolution of the strike from To- cal control to regulation by the gen eral or national union is described, as are initiation of strikes, strike man agement, financing of strikes and the independent or unauthorized strike Figures are quoted throughout and specific reference made to labor con flicts involving the principles dis Cussed in the book.

LONDON HO TELS JUMP UP
 PRICES

LONDON. Nov. 1. - Hotel accom- modations in London are becoming a serious problem. The government has taken over a number of well known hotels for various war bureaus and two of the largest clubs in the city recently were commandeered.
 The result of this demand for room has been a marked rise in prices. One of the better hotels, patronized large ly by Americans and Canadians, has just announced an increase of forty per cent in the price of all rooms.
 Cafe prices are following the up, ward trend, and the greatest complaint heard is that the size of the portions decreases as rapidly as the price moves upward.

Stockton, of Calgary, Al berta, Canada, before the twenty-third International Irrigation Congress, which was held here.
