NENANA SALES WAY OVER TOP
 IN BOND DRIVE
Nenana Once Again Comes to the Fore and the Fourth Loan
 Quota Is Move Than Doubled

l Nenanaites are once more to be heartily congratulated on the splen- did showing made in the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign, which came to an end last Saturday.
 i According to the figures given by Charles H. Hall, special disbursing agent of the A. E. C., the total amount subscribed by Nenana reach ed the respectable sum of S77,8OO.
 Great creidt is due to the Ladies' committee, who did splendid work in getting subscriptions and es. pecially to Mrs. Frederick D. ; Browne, who turned in no less than $31, ,150, truly remarkable achieve ment and one that, it will be safe to say, has not been exceeded as the individual work of any one engaged in this patriotic service in the entire territory of Alaska. The result of Mrs. Browne's efforts represents $1,150 more than the entire quota allotted to Nenana for the Foutrh Liberty Loan, and Nenana is to be congratulated on being able to count Mrs. Browne among its residents. ] To achieve this splendid result, Mrs. Browne travelled from Nenana to the remotely situated camps of the Alaskan Engineering commission near Lignite to the south of town, and to near Dunbar's on the Ne nana-Fairbanks line personally reach ing all of the railroad workers. The details of the collections made by Mrs. Browne are as follows:
 Camp 368 ........................... S6,7OO Camp 373 ..........-.... 5.2o0 Track camp ....,...,-,...........,..... 3,750 Nohp 4Ao ,30O Headquarters and yards. .......... 5000 Railroad contractors 5,65O i Iotai I 50 i Most of the money shown under

plea for Unity In Industries.

A strong appeal for perfect organ
ization of Americas Industrial forces
and greater cooperation between en-
ployer and employee was sounded by
William B. Wilson, secretary of labor,
In an address at public mass meeting
at st. Paul.
"a tremendous amount Of material
is necessary to properly equip our
armies at the front, and to secure this
equipment will require the most per-
feet organization Of our forces at home
and the highest possible standard Of
efficiency" Secretary Wilson declared.
at will require that our industrial
disputes be abandoned at least until
after the war, not by the process Of
crushing the worker or the employer
into submission but by the process
Of doing justice to both and to the
public at large.
Comprehensive plans are under con.
sideration by the council of national
defense, which, If put into operation,
will eliminate all serious troubles un-
til we have disposed of the common
enemy"

RED CROSS VESSEL SINKS
Steamer FIorIzel Lost With All On
Board, When Ship Is Tossed
On Rocks.

St. Johns, N. F.-The hardy Flori-

herself to pieces ON the rocks of the
Newfoundland coast, near Cape Race.
and with 140 persons aboard, includ.
ing rs passengers, sank while watch.
ers on shore and feet of rescue YES
sells only short distance away stood
ready to lend every assistance. Re-
ports indicate that not a soul aboard
the Florizel had escaped. Bodies are
drifting ashore, telling the tale of the
lost battle for life The Red Cross
liner crashed onto the rocks, only
three or four ships lengths from shore.
She was bound from St. Johns, N. F.,
to New York, via Halifax. A short
time later number of steamers and
warships were dispatched to her as
sistance and a relief train was made
up and sent on its way.
All during this time maddened seas.
driven in the teeth Of raging bliz-
zard, were breaking over the decks
Of the stranded vessel. Little by lit
tie her resistance-she was built es.
pecially for battling with the flashing
weather Of the Newfoundland coast
gave way, and with rescuers on every
side, her last effort for life gave way
and she went down with her entire
complement, with the exception Of
seven bodies which previously had
been washed ashore. Naval gunnerl
shot line across the bow of the sub
merged ship before she sank. but
waited in vain for 1t to be hauled
abroad. Just before darkness blotted
the wreck from view five men, driven
from the forecastle by the giant seas,
were seen to climb the forward rig
ging signaling feebly for help. But
when they failed to make fast the line
1t was feared they had succumbed to
the cold and exposure. Those; FIVE
were the only ones visible on board
several hours after the ship struck.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-Ea compromise in
The Senate on legislation for further
coordination and reorganization Of
the Governments war-making agen-
cies appeared in sight as result OF
negotiations between Democratic and
Republican leaders for revision of the
Overman bill, which would give Pres
ident Wilson greater freedom of &C.
ton. Amendments virtually agreed
upon largely to harmonic differences,
allay Republican opposition, and to Sc
cure support in the Senate from all
sides except the group of Senators I'M
alterably insisting upon the Military
Committees bills for War Cabinet
and Munitions Director.
President Wilson was said to have
no objection to the changes proposed
and 1t is expected that the Senate
Judiciary Subcommittee, headed by
Senator Overman, will redraft the bill
AS 1t is proposed to amend the meas.
ure, the President would not be given
any new substantive authority, and
provisions in the Overman bill which
Republicans have regarded as con-
ferring new and too broad powers
upon the President are to be eliminat-
ed. The amendments, however, would
retain the principal provisions author.
izing the President to transfer depart
ments, bureaus, commissions and other
agencies and their personnel as he
might deem necessary to effect great
er coordination and efficiency in pros
ecuting the war 1t is proposed TO
strike out a clause giving the Presi-
dent power ito employ by executive
order any additional agency or agen'
cies and to vest therein the perform
ance of such functions as he may
deem appropriate" thereby limiting
the Executives authority to changes
in existing agencies and without pow
or to create any new ones.

poses" The broad principle and
general scope of the national law !

the wilful misconduct Of the en- /
ployee or by the employees In /,
tention to bring about the death )
or injury Of himself or Of an 7
other, or If intoxication Of the !
injured employee is the prod- T,
mate cause Of the injury or

liability Of the national govern
ment for the injury or death OF
Its employees while In the per- +;
Torrance Of their duties and the
different state laws define the IL
