Britain Recognizes Importance of
Threatened American Reprisals

LONDON, Sept. 7.--Officals of the British
Foreign Office have not yet had time to con-
slider the general revenue bill as affecting
the various blockade activities, but news
of the passage of the bill by the United
States Senate excited considerable in
terest
A Foreign Office official said the depart.
ment fully recognized the Importance of the
legislation. II is expected one result of the
action of Congress will be to hasten a reply
to the Washington protest against the Brit
ish blacklist
WASHINGTON, Sept THE attitude of
the Entente allies toward American trade
retaliation legislation will be determined by
the Grand Trade Council of the 10 bell
ligerent governments at Paris. Entente
diplomats here said no action would
be taken until authority had been received
from the council, and in the meantime all
information on the subject obtainable was
being forwarded 20 Paris.
1t is thought probable that no formal
action will be taken unless the President
actually puts into force the discretionary
powers of refusing clearance papers TO ships
discriminating against American goods,
Withholding the use OF telegraph and cable
lines from subjects OF discriminating gov
ernments and denying import privileges to
countries which restrict American trade.

LONDON. Sept According to a Buda-

stormy. When Premier Tisza entered the
House he was greeted with loud SHOUTS Of
Resign! !" from the party OF Count Michael
Karolyi. The three other opposition parties
remained quiet.
When order was restored Premier Tisza
who was interrupted repeatedly, said that
the attitude of the Rumanians was without
precedent in the history of the world and
that he hoped measures which had been
taken would bear fruit soon.
Count Julius Andrassy, former Premier,
agreed that the entire energy OF the nation
should be exerted in the fight which was
in self-defense, but he criticized the manner
IN which the Government carried on it's
business and its lack of foresight. The
position Of the country. the ex-Premier said,
was serious. but not critical and while he
had confidence In the outcome, there must

The real estate market in the new town is ac- tive and property is said to be chang ing ownership at figures which indi- cate that the residents of the town believe that Anchorage is on the map of Alaska to stay.
 The reported shortage of certain lines of staple goods has failed to ma terialize and the market seemed plen- tifully supplied with prices reason- able

ALASKA IS MENTIONED
 WITH CHILD LABOR LAW

WASHINGTON: There has just been made available to any one who As interested enough to ask for it a compilation of the exact terms of all the laws enacted up to January 1, 1916, relating to any form of child Tabor in the United States. Alaska, Hawaii, the Philippines and Porto Rico. This new publication has been issued by the Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor under the title ''Child Labor Legislation in the United States"
 Even the more important develop ments in the relation of workmen's compensation laws to the employ ment of children are summarized with the following comment: "A decid- ed tendency is to be noted in work mems compensation legislation to pc nalize the employer of an illegally employed child. An employer, when ever he employs a child illegally, runs a risk far. greater than that of a fine under the child labor law"
 Decisions of Federal courts and of the higher State courts are inclnd- ed in connection with, the laws to which they refer. ''The constitution ality of child labor laws appears to have been finally and definitely estab- 1ished by the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court up- holding the Illinois law prohibiting employment under 16 years of age in trades and occupations classified by the legislature as dangerous and injurious
