AN EASY WAY.

tMontlceilO EXpreSS.I
1t is easy enough to settle a pro-
posed railroad strike by giving the
railway employees all they ask and
telling the railroads to get the money
to meet the added expenses of ten
hour pay for eight hour work by rails
ing their freight rates. The whole
deal may be closed at the expense Of
the shipper with the railroads and
their employees both satisfied. The
farmers and the other freight shippers
will bear the burden. The shippers
were not parties to the impending
trouble except SO far as they might be
disconnected by general strike But
the president as a self appointed arbi-
traitor says in effect: Here Mr..
Shipper. this thing must be settled.
We will give the railroad men ten
hours pay for eight hours work as
they ask. and you must help this solu-
ton by paying higher freight charges
SO that the railroads can meet the
added expense" So in the end Jones,
he will pay the freight" t-r

French Use Few Checks.

In France the checking system so

hardly used at all. Practically all

bank notes from hand to hand. Now
the Banque de France is urging a

ALASKA CRAFT WILL NOT 60
 TO ATLANTIC
Trip of Steamer Alaska Is Abandoned on Account of Accident to Her
 Machinery.

As the result of an accident to her machinery which will require two months to repair the steam ship Alaska, scheduled to sail from Seattle November 22 on cruise to Philadelphia via ports in California, the Panama Canal and the West m- dies, will not make the trip.
 While returning from her last voy- age to the North recently, the yes. sells high pressure cylinder was split its entire length and because of the seriousness oi the accident 1t was decided to abandon the criuse, which has been widely advertised
 A full cargo, including shipments for Charleston. S. C, and Philadel- phla. had been booked and this freight will probably be turned over to the transcontinental railway lines for delivery on the East coast
 The steamship Alaska is now lying at Pier 9, where the repairs will be made to her machinery. The vessel was scheduled to call at San Fran cico, Los Angeles, San Diego, Kings ton (Jamaica), Santiago and Havana en route to Philadelphia.

cIX months under a dry law have
 made for better business, bigger bank deposits greater bank clear ings-June is a record-breaker-and a gain of $1OO,O0O a month in the actual individual savings of the peo- pie as compared with the first half year of 1915.
 In every department affecting bus mess, with the single exception Of building permits, the swelling tide of affairs for the first half of 1916 is revealed with striking and con vincing statistical emphasis.
 The banks of Seattle. on May 1, held more than S98,OOO,OOO in de posits and today probably have ,S95,OOO,OOO.
 Clearings for June set a new mark-the first six months clearings showing a terrific increase
 Seven thousand. one hundred and sixty-hye new savings accounts have been opened in Seattle since Janu- ary l.. In other words, more than 1000 Seattle residents who never had a bank account now are depos- iting savings Practically every bank in Seattle reports a significant increase in the number of the thrifty, and most satisfactory swelling of the individual poke" brought to the bank weekly or monthly so the contents will earn in- terest.

FARM WAGES INCREASE.
Upward Trend in Grain States, But
Decline in Cotton Regions.

Wages of farm laborers increased
slightly in the leading grain states and
remained stationary or declined slight
ly in the cotton states, according to
figures today by the Department of
Agi iculture. The changes are attrib-
uted to higher grain prices and lower
cotton prices.
Wages of male farm laborers by the
day increased about l per cent for the
entire country.
Scarcity Of labor was not so marked
as during previous years. it was stated.
The departments figures were based

Action Immediately Necessary.

"rhe law now authorizes the Presi-
dent only to enlist in the army 100000
men. In order to have these organiZa-
tions up to full strength he must have
authorization for 19,947 men above the
10000 now allowed by law.
LAS ! say. the reason for this reso-
luton is that it is Immediately neces
sary that the border shall be protected
while this expedition is going on. and
in order to avoid calling out volunteers
it was thought that this was the sim
plest plan and would give men enough
and would not cause it to be believed
that there was any disposition on the
part of this government to do more
than that which they have declared
their purpose to no. which is to punish
Villa and his bandits for the outrages

L0R|MER AND ASSOCIATE
BORROWED $303,0O0
States Attorney So Declares in Try
ing Former Senator in
Bank Case.

/ CHICAGO, March 15-William Lori
mer. as. president of the Lorimer and
Gallagher Company. and ]. P. Gallagher.
its secretary, borrowed $500. 900 from the
La Sale Street Trust and Savings Bank
and its subsidiaries. William H. Holly
assistant states attorney. told the jury
today. trying the former senator on
charges connected with the banks fail
ure.
Mr.. Holly said the Lorimer- Gallagher
Construction Company was organized
in 1901. that Mr.. Lorimer was a poll
tician at the time and "it was easy
for a politician to get contracts" The
company he said got the contract to
build a road in central Illinois for the
southern Traction Company.
Stock in Payment.
The Southern Traction Company had
no money. in fact. it had nothing but
its franchise" he continued. but it
agreed to give the Lorimer company
stock in payment-s100 worth of stock
for every $50 expended. When the road
was finished the Lorimer Gallagher
company was to get Is per cent of the
contract.
THE Lorimer-Gallagher Company.
which was already indebted to the La
Sale street Bank for s14S,000. took a
contract on which it was to get no
money until the road was complete.
The construction company had no
money. he said. and to get it went to
the bank which Mr.. Lorimer controll-
ed and borrowed s16S.000 more, making
a total of more than 100000 which the
company owed the institution.
In security for this. he continued.
M a Nt-tb of ~ n n
Company stock. which the construc-
tion company had got for 60 cents on
the dollar. was put into the bank at a.
and so cents on the dollar.
