 To Ask Amendment
 Montgomery, November 23.-(special) The legislative committee of the state bank department will ask the legisla- ture in January to amend the banking laws so as to permit the state bank Ing department to pay increased sal- aries tobank examiners, according to authoritative information at the capitol Saturday. In the past the salary of an examiner has been so low that often the state department loses the services of man. It is expected the commit : tee will ask for a fixed salary and a sliding scale, more money being paid each year.

San Francisco, November 2S.-Thomas J. Mooney today issued a statement through his wife. discussing the report of John B. Densmore, federal director of employment, who made an investigation of the Mooney case
 The report, made public yesterday, revealed alleged criminalities in other cases which tend to involve many of the officials who were connected with the bomb explosion trial at which Mooney was sentenced to death. Moneys state ment follows: eA &
 ''The Densmore disclosure speaks for itself. Just think what similar in- vestigation would have disclosed if it was inaugurated in the early stages of the frame-up.
 These corrupt forces cover the state of California and labor can expect no justice from these financial bandits op- the federal government strips them Of every vestige of authority and power. Otherwise our government is a mockery and deserves the contempt of the world. Their business Is fixing, fixing juries for murderers. wealthy degenerates, fences and all the saturnalia of the underworld which is the basis of this power prostituted to murder working men who may Be obnoxious to the open shop movement.

its cooperation, this was given with out a stint This commission, without moments hesitation fully agreed to the temporary advance of rates within this State of 25 per cent and approved such advance, and would have approved any other advance that was deemed proper and necessary for the handling of the railways for the prosecution of the war, however extravagantly such rail ways might have been operating, but with the armistice signed and with our army being demobilized, it is conceded by all that the war is over; this being true, this commission wants to protest most vehemently against the usurpation of power by the government bureaus in establishing certain permanent policies relative to rate making within this state, and, as it's president, l wish to ask that you use every endeavor which I feel justified in believing you will, to curb any such attempt upon the part of the federal government in this matter.
 "The commission is not undertaking at this time to call your attention to the enormous increases in rates that would be brought about in Alabama were the tentative scale of rates referred to, adopted. We are only protesting as to the principles involved.''
 Statistics, now being compiled at the commission office, will show increase of from 100 to 500 per cent on many Ala bama commodities.
