PROPOSALS OF THE RAILROADS
 ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE TO MEN

The mems proposition submitted ct the conference pr)yido tha. DO miles or less, or eight hours or less should constitute a tay. with overtime begin min gat the expiration of eight hours on runs or less tban lGO mtles, and as soon as 100 miles had been run on longer trips, overtime to be computed at one and one-half times the pro-rata rate, no one to receive less than they previously received fer a minimum day. The men were to be guaranteed the right to retain any rates of pay or schedule in effect January l, 1916, which would be preferable to the new schedule.
 The roads contended that the men made no allowance for the difference between railroad and industrial ser vice. They pointed out that railroad enginemen or trainmen are guaran- teed payment for full day no matter how few hours they work, and re- ceive pay for more than a full day if they work more than either the es- tablished miles or hours. In other lines of industry, the railroads held, the employe does not receive a days pay for less than a days work, and ordinarily he cannot earn more than a days pay for less than a days work without working more than the regu- lar number of hours.

SCOPE OF BANKS BEEN LARGELY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. - Amend ments to the federal reserve act de- signed to broaden the scope of the banks operating under it in relation to real estate loans, dealing with for eign banking institutions, and the es- tablishment of domestic branches has been adopted Ey the senate. The banks lying contiguous to the federal reserve district lines are permitted to loan on real estate within radius within 100 miles without regard to lines.
 Banking associations possessing a capital of $1 100000 or more, upon fiji ing application with the board will be permitted to invest not more than 10 per cent of their paid-up capital stock and surplus in stocks of banks en- gagged principally in foreign banking. Banks having $1,OO0.OOO capital would be permitted to establish not more than 10 branches within a radius of 25 miles.

BUILDING BOOM NOW ON IN
 EARNEST

The Lighthouse Packing, which was the first plant to put the Cordova claims on the market, finds that it's business has increased to such an ex- tent that more commodious quarters must be secured As soon as the To- cation has been decided upon a new building, 3Ox70 feet, and a warehouse the same size will be erected.
 This will mean an increased output, and the employment of large force of people. In order to properly care for the latter it has been decided to erect five or six cottages, and as the lumber for both the plant and the dwellings is now here it will not be long before work is begun upon these buildings.
 The Pioneer Packing Company is ready to go ahead with the erection of six new cottages on the corner of Fifth and c streets.
 Cordova is also soon to have at least one, and possibly two, apartment houses, plans for which are now being prepared,

M|N|NC LAW IN ALASKA |S
 UPHELD

The circuit court of appeals has de- cided that the failure to record pow CT of attorney in Alaska invalidates title to a mining claim, thus interpret ing the Wickersham act, as passed by congress in 1912. This is a decision growing out of the Shushanna strike, and the case involved was instituted in the Third division, at CordOva, brought by Dan Sutherland vs. F. w. Purdy. o. A. Tucker, now of the Jul neau bar, filed the suit, and during the trial at Cordova, associated with him were Messrs. T. J. Donohoe and E. E. Ritchie.
 The legal points involved included the question as to whether it were necessary to record a power of at torney before the location of the claim. The plaintiff, through his attorney, in sisted that the recording of the power of attorney was a prerequisite to the location. The court, then sitting at Cordova, held that the recording prior to location was not a prerequisite to location. According to the telegraphic report received, Judge Brown has been reversed, the contention of the plain tiff sustained, and the title to the ground given to Sutherland.
 The case is one of several that ex- cited a great deal of comment in the Shushanna district for several years. Gold was first discovered in the Shu- shanna in 1913, and man named Will liam James of Dawson, Y. T., hearing of the same, rushed into the new camp, accompanied by c. l.. Gates, w. E. Mckinney and William Johnson, and located about twenty claims for them selves and about twenty more by pow CT of attorney. Other prOspectors,, who arrived later, found the best ground practically all located, as they claimed "blanketed,' and many of the claims so located by proxy were re- located by the later arrivals, and out of this condition grew the controversy. Judge Tucker arrived in the camp during the month of August, 1913, and was later employed to represent many of the litigants.

HAYASH| NEW MINISTER
 TO CHINA

TOXIC, Aug. Is. The appoint ment of Baron Gonsuke Hayashi, as minister to China, simultaneously with the announcement of the Russo-Japan- ese alliance is regarded here as being of great significance, and as opening a new chapter in the relations between Japan and the Chinese republic. Baron Hayashi was ambassador to Italy at the time of his selection for the post at Peking, at which capital he served as minister several years ago. The Japanese consider him one of their foremost diplomats. He accepted the place at Picking. which brings him back to ministerial rank at the urgent solicitation of Japanese statesmen.
 The representative to China freely discussed the Chinese situation with the representative of a prominent Jap anese newspaper. He expressed the opinion that it was premature to con clude that the death of President Yuan Shi Kai benefited Japan. To China, his death may have been fortuitous in so far as 1t has contributed to settling the turbulent situation. Still, what the final result would be remains to be seen.

ference might make the unnecessary taking of a strike vote by referring the questions at issue to arbitration. After hearing the demands of the unions, however, the railroads declined missed the subject by offering to fur ther discuss what they termed ten tative proposition" which granted the mems eight hour demand but refused all others.
 The unions declined to consider the tentative" offer and the railroads then suggested placing their differ ences before the Interstate Commerce Commission for decision, or if that body was without authority, that both sides join in petitioning congress to grant the necessary power If this proved unsatisfactory to the unions the railroads suggested arbitration under the Newlands act.
 The men rejected the two proposi tions. Their spokesman, A. B. Garret son, president of the Order of Rail way Conductors, in an impassioned speech, said that the men would never consent to arbitration because of the failure of the unions to obtain justice in prior disputes through that method
