LOCAL BANKS KEEP
 TIVE CROPS MOVING
Credit Situation So Good Few Few Appeals Made for Out
 side Help.

Washington, Oct. '9.-The ease wits which the banks are meeting the fin ancial requirements of the current crop movement makes clear the, con- trast between the gneeral conditions in the autumn of 1921 and of 1920, the federal Reserve Board said in it's bull letin made public today.
 Prom autumn to autumn the vol ume and distribution of the credit bur den carried by the banks differ, and these differences largely determine the method of providing the additional funds necessary for the season." the board aid
 The position of the credit markets and the condition of member banks in l fluence each year the extent to which the assistance of the Federal Reserve Banks is needed to meet the seasonal demands ol agriculture. This season the method employed is interesting as indicating the crop moving problem of 1922 and as presenting evidence of banking developments during recent months.
 "The important fact about the finan- cling of the crop movement of this year is that although the yield of the principal crops is in excess of a year ago, yet the credit necessary to their | ,,l-o i, boI chi fl,v by the local banks of the producing communities practically without as sistance from outside. This is the chief point of difference between pres ent conditions and those which existed either in 1921 or in 1920. In both of these years the local banks not only rediscounted With the Federal Reserve Banks, but the reserve banks in the districts that are largely agricultural rediscounted in turn with other Fed eral Reserve Banks
 'In 1920 when the prices of agri- cultural products were near thelr peak. the amount of accommodation extended by the Federal Reserve Banks of the north and east to the Federal Reserve Banks in in agricul- tural districts of the west and sout.l req ched record heighj-~-.-.-.
 Tn the autumn of that year the lending power of the reserve system was mobolized to meet the demand for credit which mounted steadily until the close of the crop moving period. By the autumn of 1921 the business situation and the level of prices had undergone great change and in gen. eral. credit conditions were easier. The local banks of the agricultural districts, however, were still in need of assistance The difficulty then was that the prices of farm products had fallen so low that farmers could not realize enough from the sale of crops .o meet their obligations at the banks. This was the period of frozen loans.' y The banks, being unable to obtain full iiouidation of old loans at home, were obliged to rely upon rediscounting as a means of providing their borrowers with the funds"

HOPE TO PREVENT
 BIG RAIL STRIKES
Roads and Br0therh00ds Enter New Era in Their Relations: Hay Re-
 yiVe Old system.

Cleveland, Oct. 10-Methods of set Hing wage and working agreements between the Big Four" transportation brotherhoods and the railroads has entered a new era and, if the present course of negotiations is continued, the country, for several years at least, will net be threatened with a complete tieup of railroad transportation through concerted strike of these brotherhoods on all lines, w. c. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Rail road Trainmen,. said today
 The situation which developed ill 1915 as a result of the 8-hour fight and again last fall when the trainmen conductors, engineers and tiremen's brotherhoods sent cut nationwide strike orders, probably will not occur again
 Decentralization of all wages, rules and working conditions, negotiations, and a return to the system prevailing for 20 years prior to the time when the four ,rain service brotherhoods were forced by the eight-hour fight to pool their strength into the Big Four brotherhood, already has set in. in the view of Mr Lee
 To Be New Line-Up.
 The new alignment probably will l find the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Order of Railway 1 Conductors in one group, and the Bro therhood of Locomotive Engineers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen, and the Switchmen's s Union of North America in another.
 "I feel that 1 am able to handle my organization to more advantage, to get more for my men, and to work more effectively all around if the trainmen and conductors go it alone. so far as wages and working rules is. concern cd" Mr. Lee said.

cUEssERs BECOME ACTIVE;
 ICE POOL GROWING RAPIDLY

The close of the week finds the Nenana ice pool assuming propor- tions rapidly. The demand for tick cts has increased by leaps and bounds during the last couple of days and it is now practically as- sured that the pool will pass the s6,o00 mark early during the com ing week. The guessing will come to an end next Thursday noon.
 Indications of an early breakup, which were in evidence early in the month, have disappeared entirely, and it is the general belief now that there will be no movement of the ice until well along in May perhaps as late as last year. At any rate, that is the way lot of the tickets are being marked today. Oldtimers argue that the weather is too cold for an early breakup and it is a fact that snow is still very plentiful in the timber and in the hills.
 But there Is nothing to prevent the weather from turning suddenly very warm, in which event water would accumulate with such rapidity as to send the ice out ahead of schedule. Early breakups have oe- cured in the past, under much the same conditions and this may be one of those exceptional years. Under the circumstances. the surest way to guess the rigth day is to guess both early and late and in between. There is no limit to the number of guesses one may make.

COMPETITION IS VERY KEEN
 SAYS ARRIVAL FROM STATES

Business competition in Seattle and elsewhere in the States is very keen, according to Ernest Biesold, former resident of Nenana who ar rived from the Outside on the last train, after an absence of nearly two years. He was in business in the Spirit City and he knows where of he speaks.
 A chain of grocery stores, oper- ated after the manner Of cafer- teria, first made their appearance in Seattle. Buying in carload lots and the elimination of clerk hire enabled the new enterprise to un- dersell old-line grocery stores and business was good until a rival concern, operating along the same new lines, made its appearance. It had an advantage over the original outfit because it was able to buy goods by the shipload, instead of carload.
 The customer, upon entering a "groceteria" is provided with a basket and he wanders about the store picking out the articles de- sired. unassisted by clerks. The goods are checked and paid for at the cashiers desk and carried home by the purchaser. The saving in overhead expense is such that the goods can be sold at a price con- siderably under old-style competi- tors.
 Mir. Biesold had a bakery and grocery store, but wearied of the ceaseless struggle for an existence. He found that the small grocer on the opposite side of the street, who handled bread as a side line, was able 10 sell it at cost; while he, handling groceries as a side line, was not permitted to cut the price of cream or any other article pro- tected by the association.
 Prior to his departure for the Outside, Mir. Biesold was a mem
 Der of the Tavern Cafe staff and he has many friends here who will , be pleased to learn of his return.
