LONDON, Dec. 6.-The Bishop of cial income of 800 year is ''en- tirely inadequate" to meet the nec- essary expenses of his office and the upkeep of his official residence" So the diocese over which he presides has to- eke out his inadequate of ficial income by giving him an ad- ditional f700 year ito meet sec retarial and office expepses and tae cost of running motor car" The c. ndid Bishop declares the situation to be "scandalous."
 ''Has not the time eome," asked the Bishop, addressing the Diocesan Conference, when bishops should cease to live in large houses. and live in far smaller houses which would provide for entertaining in g simple way. not more than two or three guests at d time? Should not his home be his home and not 8 sort of hotel?"
 The Bishop Of London once com plained bitterly that he could not make both ends meet on 310,000 8 year while he had to live in pal ace" with something like two score bedrooms and was expected to exer- else hospitality on somewhat com mensurate scale. He said that if he could like in a moderate house he would be content with very much less than half the salary and cer- tainly would not be any less efx- cient as bishop.

P|CKETINC IS
 FORBIDDEN TO UNION LABOR
Decision Is Handed Down by the Supreme Court of
 the United States.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The Supreme Court today on an ap- peal brought by the American Steel Foundry Company returned a decision that union labor had no right to picket during a strike when it involves importun- ity.
 Chief Justice William Howard Taft, defining the opinion of the court, said:
 "lf in their attempts at per- suasion or communication, those on the labor side adopted meth ods which, however lawful in their announced purpose, would inevitably lead to intimidation or obstruction, then if is the courts duty to limit that propaganda and attempts at the time, man. ner and place.
 "In going to and from work, men have the right to as free passage without obstruction as the streets afford.
 "The purpose should be to pre- vent intimidation on or to pre- vent groups of pickets but to d. low missionaries"
 In the decision. the court .taid, however, no broad rule coufd be laid down in the matter of pick etins as each case must be con sidered on it's own merits and determine whether ipicketing con stituted restraint or intimida- tions.

pending legislation, is a logical in- itial step toward the ends desired.
 Inefficient Government.
 Administration at long range is tedious, inefficient and unsatisfact- ory, at the very best Washington is eight days distant from Juneau by closest mail connection. In average of time consumed in communication, save by wire, the National and Ter ritorial capitals are a fortnight apart. An expeditions administra- tion of affairs necessarily becomes impossi ble. Hence it is not only ad- visable, but absolutely necessary, with the proposed consolidation of bureaus under one directing head, to administer the affairs of Alaska in Alaska to the fullest extent consist ent with continued governmental supervision.
 Even with the administration of it's affairs brought closer home, the difficulties will still be great be- cause of the magnitude of the Ter ritory and it's widely divergent in terests. For example, Nome is even farther removed from Juneau, in point of time, than is Washington, and Fairbanks, the terminus of the railroad in the interior, is also far away. The colossal size of Alaska points conclusively to division of the domain, in due course of time, into two or more territories, prelim- mary to statehood. Under present conditions, in the very nature of things, administration is and will continue to be beset with delays and difficulties. In view of the short- ness of the season. especially in the northernmost part of the Territory and the interior, such delays often entail actual hardships. Where red tape is encountered at every turn, through divided and ill-defined au- thority, these hardships are inten- sified
 Distractions met by capital seek ing investment and by people in quest of homesteads plainly account for the slow development of the Ter ritory. These obstacles have been lessened somewhat in recent years, but by no means removed.
 Need Only Fair Chance.
 Capital and people need only a chance-a fair chance-to do their part in the development of Alaska. Both are entitled to have the path made easier than it has ever been in the past.
 A country that, unopened and handicapped heavily in many ways, has nevertheless produced out of its natural resources wealth approxi- mating a billion dollars, certainly is country worth looking after and engaging the constructive attention of the Government.
 Alaska's mineral wealth is dem onstrated fact. It's incompatible fish cries are too we'll understood to be

WORLD REVIEW
 WINTER GRAIN
 SEEDING MADE
General Statement on Seed ing Conditions Northern
 Hemisphere Made.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The seed ing of winter grains is now prac tically completed throughout the Northern Hemisphere, according to reports received by the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates, United States Department of Agriculture.
 "The seeding of all winter cereals has been hindered by drought throughout Western Europe and Great Britain, and irregular stands and growth reported" the Bureau states. "The moisture supply has been plentiful throughout Central Europe, and the present outlook for all winter grains is good The drought in North Africa still pre- vails, according to latest reports, and rain is greatly needed to facili tate seeding and germination. The seeding of winter wheat is progress ing under favorable conditions in British India. and the crop is ger minating we'll. A good acreage is expected.
 Conditions Favorable
 "Weather and soil conditions have generally been favorable for the seed ing and germination of wheat in Canada, and the crop should enter the winter in good condition. Thel condition of all wheat is favorable in the United States, except in the lower plains region, where the crop has been injured by drought and some late seedlings have failed to germinate Conditions in the Far Western states have been improved by recent rains.
 The condition of whSat in Argen | tina continues to imprsve, due to the 1 abundant rains sincs September 15. | which have broken the long drought. As conditions were very unfavorable | during the normal seeding period, | much of the grain has been sown | unusually late, and the prospects of grain sown/as late as this are gen. erally poor. If present favorable conditions continue, however, a nor nal crop or better may be expected. l The acreage as given by the Argen- l tine government for the year 1921-22 is H13.927, 900 acres. compared with | J4,957 900 in 1920-21
 Rain Plentiful
 Plentiful rain continues to be re- ported from the various grain-grow ing districts of Australia, and the crop outlook is quite favorable and | equal to that of last year. A pre- liminary estimate places the Aus tralian wheat crop for 1921-22 at 146 ,6O6, 900 bushels, compared with 145, ,923,O 900 bushels in 192O-21 Good rains have been reported in South | Africa, especially from those sections of the Cape where the bulk of the | wheat is grown.
 Thrashing Returns
 Final thrashing returns of the | phere confirm previous reports of | the yield, and the outstanding fea- ture is the decided increase of wheat | and rye in nearly every European | country compared with the yield of 1920. Excluding Russia and the | minor producing countries for which | estimates have not been received by | the department, the production of wheat in Europe shows an increase | of 27 per cent over last year and that of rye an increase of 39 per cent.
