Rotarians Warned
Against Industrial
Slump at Wars End
George E. Roberts Urges Pur-
chase of Railroad Securi-
ties as Insurance

George Z. Roberts. vice president Of
the National City Bank, asserted last
night al d dinner Of the Rotary Club,
al the Hotel McAlpin, that the peril OF
an industrial slump az the end Of the
war was grave. he said he thought
the war would end in a year. As IN
surance against the slump that was
due. he suggested investment in rail-
road securities.
EVERYBODY had a kind word for the
railroads. Francis II. Sisson. assistant
chairman Of the Railway Executives
Advisory Committee, said that II was
matter for grave concern tnat they
earned only per cent on their invest
ment last year.
The railway brotherhoods, he said,
had issued an order last week that inc
Supreme Court Of the United States
must hand down a decision on the
Adamson act yesterday. So far a.
Nr. Sisson knew the Supreme Court OF
the United States had not done so. and
he trembied he said, lest that BODY
should be subject 20 the same dures-
that Congress was last year.
Tie expressed the belief that the
labor problem had placed the rail roads
in a chaotic state and there might Dc
trouble at any time. There was too
much regulation Of railroads and not
enough persons willing TO invest money
i'm them. he said. lie thought that
Government ownership was futile as a
solution OF the railroad problem.
I'VE must do away with the idea that
connection between railroads Is bene-
fetal" said ex-senator Theodore +.
Burton. lie thought that the time was
coming when all business organization
would be regulated as railroads are
to-day. National incorporation Of rail
roads he believed inevitable.

Tacoma. as a tiny hamlet of half a

Tahoma would be 20 advertise Its rival
city. The quarrel waxed hotter when
Paradise Valley was set aside as
national reserve, and the great noun
tain became one of the show places OF
the nation.
Biographies Amended
Biographies listing the mountain as
Rainier were used in the Seattle
schools. Tacoma used the same text

with an insert map naming the noun

cards printed there gave the same

But Seattle shifted. and 20 the in

The name feud reached its climax
with the fight in the state Legislature.
After a three days session, during
which no other subject came up, the
Representatives who stood out for
Mount Rainier YEARLY agreed TO a
compromise. The name Of the mountain
is to be changed entirely. II is not 70

INDIANS MAY SUFFER
FOR FOOD THIS YEAR

The Copper River Indians caught
no fish for their winter supply of food
this year, owing to gill nets being
stretched by fishermen across the Cop
per River, which kept the fish from
running up the river. This will be a
great hardship on the tribes living
at the head waters of the river who
depend upon the fish for their win
ter's supply of food for themselves
and dogs, and local authorities fear
that a famine will prevail.
