USE WIRELESS
 TO TRANSMIT
 NAVY BUSINESS

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct (by As sociated Press) Wireless cOmmunica- tion across the continent of the Uni ted States is in effective operation with stations at San Diego and Wash ington working throughout the day and night on navy department busi ness.
 This service just put into effect takes care of large volumne of bus mess which the navy department hitherto sent on telegraph lines, and for which it paid tolls to the trans hitting companies.
 Development of naval radio cOmmu- nication along the Pacific coast and across the Pacific will take import ant strides before the first of the year, when many Improvements now being installed will have been con- pleted.
 An important improvement was re gently effected in the trans-Pacific navy radio circuit to Manila, when work was completed on a distant con- trol station at Guam, which doubled the capacity of the Guam navy radio station, a relay between Honolulu and Manila.
 Increased power equipment and other Improvements in the stations at Guam and in Manila will increase the efficiency of communication be- tween San Francisco and Manila be, fore the first of the year.

JAPAN FORCED
 TO PURCHASE
 OIL FOR NAVY

TOKYO, Oct. } (by Associated Press) There is no hope, it is said, for Japan at present to become self supporting in the matter of oil sup ordered tankers which are to carry oil imported for the Japanese navy.
 While the demand for oil steadily increases the output ill the country tends to decrease. The present out put of raw oil is only about 320,- 900 tons a year The heavy oil con sumed by the navy amounts to about tons a year and assuming that 40 per cent of heavy oil can be made out of a ton of raw oil the naval demand can be more than suf- ficiently met by the home product. Btt besides the requirements of the navy there is vast general demand to be met. When the eight battle ship and eight battle squadron pro- gramme is completed in 1927, it is estimated that the demand of the navy will amount to at least 100000 tons whereas there seems no hope of an increase in the output of oil in this country.
 The authorities have for some time been engaged in the investigation of oil fields in Saghalien and in other places but no satisfactory results have as yet been obtained. The oil fields at Kosenho and Nairyo in For mosa have been worked somewhat but the field at Nair"o is entirely disappointing; the result of the work ing of the Kosenho field will not be known for two or three months, but satisfactory results are not expected
 The oil tankers ordered will have a displacement of 11,000 tons each and will carry 5000 tons of oil.

identlal commission. These amount
ed to 80 per cent for contract work
ers and 81 for day men.

side labor, with time and half for
overtime and double time on Sun
days and holidays.
The mine workers have notified
