20.-Brig. Gen. George Duncan

The Americans were observers

These are the first American

The French award to them

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20. -
Il feel that we are near a settle
ment. Our progress during the
night has been highly satisfactory
and | am hopeful that an adjust
ment will be affected shortly"
James L.. Ackerspn, represents
tive of the U. S. shipping board,
made this statement today just be-
fore the conference between rep
resentatives of both sides in The
strike which has tied up shipbuild-
ing on San Francisco bay went
into session for what is generally
hoped will be the final meeting.
Ackerson announced that the
government had offered to as
same half OF. any wage increase
granted by concerns working on
Communicated ships, where 1t can
be shown that the concern Is max
ing profit of less than 10 per
cent.
While the negotiations were in
progress private dispatches from
Washington stated that the gov
eminent had practically decided,
when the strike began, to estab-
fish new $10.000,000 shipbuild-
ing plant on San Francisco bay
but had not abandoned the idea
because of the Pacific coast labor
troubles and would establish the
yard in the east.

Plans to bring these industrial

further war economies among re-
tailers to the public are being
outlined and probably will be in
cluded in the chambers final
program to be adopted today.
Among the more radical pro-
posals affecting the buying pub
lie, particularly the women, were
these:
Give the buyer who carries pur-
chases home a lower price than
the woman who has them deliv-
cred.
Give the buyer who pays cash
a lower price than the one who
has the goods charged.
To eliminate the practice of
the woman who buys spool of
thread, has 1t charged and deliv-
cred miles away and does some
thing of this sort several times a
day." charge 10 cents or more
for all deliveries up to 81 and
provide a free delivery once day

Just One Wide Open
Camp Left In Alaska

lofts mount as high as three hun
dred a night.
Currency runs short and checks
l-mudstained and tobacco odored
Endorsed by dozen different
people, pass for the chips when
the gold and silver fail.
Pangigni, black jack, poker or
such other games as separate a
man playfully from his money,
are to be had for the asking. The
camp is without a deputy, and
when the commissioner shows up
in the vicinity everything Is inno-
cent looking. But that isn't all.
OF course, Dime Creek has a
dance hall. 1t is popularity known
as the Monte Carlo, where a colt
fple of housekeeping ladies have
initiated the leading lights of
Dime into the terpischorean and
other bacchana Nan mysteries that
may be referred to only as gener-
|alizations.
Here the willing tyro reaches
that stage Of sociability wherein
he is willing to whoop 1t up, and
whoop it up he does with the help
of the steersman who later guides
him to the cabin where the real
games are played.
The delightful condition of
things has raised the mischief
with the camp, but some of the
sharks are lot richer by their
visits and it is a pretty prosper
Gus field.
No gold mines along the de-
posits of Dime Creek have produc-
ed the wealth that the little log
cabin has returned to those who
have operated the games, and the
figures are prodigious as to the
limits played. 1t Is evidently no
place for pikers.
In single sitting one man lost
as high as $1400, another a cou-
pie of thousands.
So, too, with the dancing la
dies. A recent fair one from the
direction of st. Michaels is said
to have amassed a fortune in the
dance hall, and her diamonds and
gay toggery put her sisterhood
from otherwheres in the Cheap
John class.
Yes, Dime Creek is pretty
easy camp with the lid off and the
limit thrown into the creek.

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 20. -
Whether Argentine will break
with Germany depends in large
measure on the vote of the house
Of representatives today.
The senate's 20 to 1 vote for a
diplomatic rupture was expected
to be reflected in the decision of
the lower house.
Buenos Aires received the news
Of the senate's decision In excited
demonstrations.
There was no doubt the admin
lstration was astonished by the
almost unanimous vote for a
break with Germany. President
Irigoyen and his advisers have
steadily insisted on full neutrality.
1rigoyen has it in his power to
override even the decision of both
houses by exercise of his veto
against a break.
Tension In the city was aggra-
waited today by imminence OF a
general strike ION all Argentine
railways.
