AMERICAN SAILOR IS
 PICKED UP UNCONSCIOUS

LONDON, May 15 (by Associated Press) Stripped of his outside cloth ing, a young American sailor was found in semi-conscious condition in the early morning several days ago on the pavement outside a hotel in a fashionable West End district. His socks were missing but he wore half laced shoes which revealed his con- nection with the navy.
 At the United States naval hospital, to which he was removed, he has been unable to give any account of him self, not even his name or address. He vaguely associates home with the Great Lakes.
 On the afternoon of the day he was found, pair of American naval trous- ers and hat were discovered in the grounds of Lord Lansdowne's resi- dence in Berkeley Square. They ap- parently had been thrown over the wall from the street.
 The lad is not more than 20 years old and his height Is feet S1s inches. He has ruddy cheeks, merry blue eyes, fair wavy hair and very white and even teeth. When he recovered consciousness his first words were .Black Jack" and q won't sign 1t"

 AT OAKLAND

OAKLAND, Cal, May 15 (by Asso- ciated Press) The recent Washing ton conference extending the Macy shipbuilding labor award from April to October 1 and vital questions af- fecting metal trades workers on the Pacific coast were discussed here to- day at the opening of the convention of the Pacific Coast Metal Trades Council and the Pacific Coast Council of Boilermakers and Iron Shipbuild- CTS.

 The boilermakers convention had been planned first for Los Angeles, but was changed to Oakland in order that it might meet while the metal trades council while in session here. It was necessary for all boilermakers unions to have set of delegates at each convention.
 Arrangements for the boilermakers convention were completed recently at a meeting of the executive com mittee of the council here.

RAILWAY GRANT BY BOLSHEVIKl
 TO NORWEGIAN

CHRISTIANIA, May 15 (by Asso ciated Press).- "A concession for con structing a railway 2,OOO miles long has been granted 'in principle by the Bolshevik government of Russia to financial group headed by Eduard Hannevig, a Norwegian, says Nor wegian lawyer, M. Puntervold, who recently returned from Russia.
 The proposed railway is to extend from the Obi river in the Tobolsk gov ernment, via Kotlass to Petrograd, Murmansk and Archangel. It is said to include the right of utilizing 30,OO0 square miles of forest land through which the railway is to be con- structed, mining rights along the rail- way and the opening of banks at the railway stations and towns near the line
 According to M. Punteryold, the terms granted are far more favorable to capitalists than might have been expected from the most conservative government in Norway. The news paper ri Dens-Tegn, commenting upon the concession, says: Tt is a proof that Lenine's government is finding it necessary to create new capitalism to encourage the economic life of northern Russia"

LONDON SLUMS ARE TO
 BE REPLACED BY HOMES

LONDON, May 15 (by Associated Press). Housing schemes to replace the slums of London are abundant in these days of reconstruction, but none Is attracting more attention than that in the congested district of Southwark, where the Duchess of Marl- borough recently purchased a tract of land.
 The plan is to erect modern tene- ments, with bathrooms and hot water on every floor and playground on the roof. A perambulater shed in the basement is designed to eliminate the necessity of dragging heavy baby car riages upstairs. A central laundry with mechanical differs is to be To- cated in the lower part of the build ing. There are now no such tene- ments with these conveniences in London, and some doubt is expressed as to their future popularity because of the liking of London women for detached" or "semi-detached" houses even though they are not modern.
