NEW YORK, July "a The closed

in the way of a settlement of the
deadlock that has tied up coast-wise
trade for more han two weeks at this

No prospect of overtures from the
steamship owners was possible ac-
cording to officers of the American
Steamship Association who reiterated
previous statements that questions OF
wages and hours of work could be ad-
justed but that the owners would moi
agree to the closed shop principle.

RENT LIMIT BILL
Proposal 10 Base Charges Upon As.
sessed Valuation

Rents in Richmond will be cut down
to certain percentage of the actual
assessed valued of the rented real es-
tate, if bill which will be presented
to the General Assembly in January
and which has been drawn by the
Renters and Consumers League is
passed by the legislators.
Limitation of the percentage OF
urofits in rent, based on the actual
assessed value of real estate, would
mean that higher valuation of Rich
mond property would be called for by
owners, according to R. W. Merchant,
vice-president of the organization, and
one of the sponsors for the proposed
hill.
An attack through Legislative action
on the rent situation has been con-
terminated for some time by the Rent
ers' and Consumers League, accord
ing to officials of the organization.
Although defeated in the City Coun-
ell. the Consumers League, backed by
the Housewives League, plans to also
present a measure to the Legislature
calling for the standardization of the
loaf of bread as sold by bakers and
calling for the wrapping of all bread
sold. It is also known that BENZ.
L. Purcell, State Dairy and Food Com
missioner, is having drafted bill
which would regulate the loaf of
bread to three or four standard sizes.

HUNS WAIT TIME TO
 AvENGE
By Associated Press

MEXICO CITY, Aug, IA By A. P.- A "Catechism of Hate was printed in the Deutsche Zeitung von Mexiko and revenge was threatened in an article accompanying it on the day when the delegates of the German republic signed the peace treaty at Versailles. The papers printed in Ger. man, is generally believed to voice tho opinions of the Pan-German, irrecOn- concilable element of the German col ony in Mexico. Translations in part of the article follows:
 "The day of revenge of the German people is not far off. We shall do good to practice patience until the day of revenge has arrived. Revenge mus, be coldly consumated. In order to pre- pare ourselves quietly for it, we need q 'Catechism of Hatred"
 The twelve commandments" of the catechism summarize in brief form many of the protests which have been heard from German sources since the
 ms of the Peace Treaty became known. They deny that German" wanted war, assert that Germany wa" right in invading Belgium, attack England for the Blockade of Germany. aver that Germany's armies were nev- el defeated and declare that Germar honor is insulted by making Germans sign admission of their guilt.
 In conclusion, the article says: "These twelve commandments will suffice to prepare us mentally for The Day on which the hour of re- 'enge will strike"
 Asked If the sentiments expressed in the Deutsche Zeitung's article were those of the entire German colony 'n Mexico, one of the leaders of the Ger man socialist party in Mexico declared that they were held only by the older and wealthier colonists, who dominat' ed both the paper and the colony, but that large part of the colony were willing to accept the verdict of thc war and give their support to the new German government and to recon ;tluction policies.

NEW SYSTEM OF BANKING BEGUN
 IN N. DAKOTA
By Associated Press

FARGO, N. D., Aug, 14- The in- dustrial program of the National Non' partisan league, which was endorsed by the voters of North Dakota at a special referendum election on Jun' 26, is being put into operation.
 The bank of North Dakota, in which all state, county and municipal funds are to be deposited under the new laws, is in operation, but is not yet ready to make loans and handle de- posits on a big scale.
 The bank now employs twenty per sons with an annual payroll of $5O,' 900. The banks resources will be nor" than S3l 100000. Public funds total ing S2l 100000 have been reported and there are state bonds of $l0,O0O,O0O. Only about Sl00,000 worth of bank bonds have been sold in the state, but bank officials explain this by saying investors held off pending the outcome of the referendum. The bank had plar- ned to sell S5O0,00 worth of bonds.
 When the institution is in full op- ,ration a statement similar to those from the federal reserve banks will be issued monthly outlining conditions over the state. J. R. Waters, formerly state bank examiner, is head of the bank, and F. w. Cathro. for 30years q North Dakota banker, is director gen eral.
 The bank will provide funds for carryingout the industrial program, and an industrial commission will con trol the state-owned industries to he established.
 The Home Building association, which will provide funds for persons desiring to build homes, is expected to be in operation soon. The Mill and El- evator Association, in charge Of the leagues wheat marketing and distri- outing system, has been inspecting mills and elevators with view to pur- chasing two or three to start the eS- pertinent. The state is not expected to start an extensive building program for several months.
 Those directing the work express confidence that every phase of the program will meet with success. de- spite strong opposition which they say is being offered by League opponents.
