Powder has taken the place of steam points in placer operations which are being conducted on the Idaho association at the mouth of Eidorado creek. in the Fairbanks district, according to U. s. Marshal Bert Stevens, who is interested in the ground. The use of powder for breaking out the frozen pay gravel in the underground workings is very successful, MT. Stevens says. and makes it possible to work ground at minimum of cost, bring ing under operation areas of "pay" which could not be mined success fully under the steam thawing pro- cess. Instead of driving steam points into the "face", drills are em- p!oyed to make holes for the powder the same as is done in quartz min ing. When the frozen gravel has been broken out it is sprayed with cold water and quickly thawed.

BANKERS OPPOSE
VER-REGULATTON
BY GOVERNMENT
Keynote Struck BY Pres.
ident At Convention
In Chicago

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-Tonight at a
theater party delegates to the fiftieth
annual convention of the American
Bankers association sought relaxation
for what some of them described as an
unusually serious convention. The con-
vention differs from the last conveH-
ton in that the emphasis then was
economic, while now it is political"
according to statement made by #.
H. Sisson of New York following his
appointment today as chairman of the
committee on resolutions. Mr.. Sisson's
committee will report tomorrow.
The keynote of the conventions in the
opinion Of the delegates, was sounded in
the address OF, the president, Walter w.
Head, when he said I'VE find ourselves
constantly waging defensive battle
against plans and programs which
would transfer still greater duties to
government, which would hamper in
dividual initiative still further"
IF you ladies and gentlemen" said
e. T. Meredith of Des Moines, secre-
tary agriculture, under President Will
son, in an address on helping agricul-
ture, land you bankers, will take an
interest in agriculture, will get right
down and dismiss all this talk about it
as being government in business and
subsidy and it will adjust itself, and it
is socialistic and so on, but may we
not take an interest in this thing and
see if we can't in some way indicate
to the farmer that he had better not
grow this crop, that he had getter grow
that?
]. B. Stirling, president of the First
National Bank of jackson, Miss, said
that the cotton crop is better and lum-
her production and demand is better
in his section of the country, both inn
provements pointing to better industrial
conditions.
Children through school savings
bank systems are outstripping their
parents in number of accounts, c. o.
Holmes, secretary of the Indiana Bank
ers association reported. The average
of savings accounts in the United
States is one to six persons but since
the advent of the schools savings bank
system, the average among school chill
dren, is one to four, he said.

only makes this conclusion more en-
phatic. The claim that he was ignorant
of the import of his act and only re-
garded it as a friendly favor adds color
to the, general claim that his own adj
vertised financial ability is only bluff
and that he actssa as the agent of inter-
national bankings powers. The further
defense that all bankers are doing
the same hting is resented even by the
bankers themselves. f.>
he has organized disloyal group to
conduct an illegal defense of the con-
stitution of the United States with the
stitutional rights of union labor, while
the Pure Oil company in which he is
interested is, being sued by the gov
eminent for violation of the criminal
law. He is an insult to the whole
laboring world, and his sinister designs
are so well known that he will GER
tainIy lose the whole labor vote.
I'm addition to all this his most
dangerous and offensive act in this cam
paign is his insult to the cooperative
movement in agriculture. He has
hrazenly denounced as demagogues and
hypocrities all those who have respect
for the increase of price of beef on
the hoof and the decrease of its price
on the table. This amazing statement
shows profound ignorance of the
whole cooperative idea. A joint com
mittee. of congress investigating this
subject found that out of the dollar
which the laboring man pays for the
products OF the farm, the farmer only
gets 81 cents" -

ty, it was generally expected the final
clauses and solved the japanese diff
ficulty, it was generally expected to-
might that the assembly will approve
the text and vote for transmission of
the protocol to the home governments
and parliaments for ratification.
In the discussion today prominent
delegates, took pains to emphasize that
the solution of the japanese difficulty
through the revision of the protocol
strikes no blow at the sovereign rights
of states. it also was noticeable that
they took special pains to alley any
misapprehensions of the American PEG,
pie when they repudiated the charge
made during the last two days al
Geneva and the amendments presented
by the Japanese were aimed at Ger.
tain other powers. 10.
Another feature of the final discus

the Italian jurist, that happily way
had now been opened for the discussion
of problems of a social and political
nature for the solution of which no ma

CAR SHORTAGE
LOOMS AS COAL
MARKET SCARS
Industrial Activity Also
Tightens Shipping
Conditions

A car shortage Of very definite charac-
ter has developed in the district during
the past ten days, according to infor-
nation Tuesday. Warnings that such
a condition would rise unless indications
were wrong, were given in bulletin
issued by the coal interests here some
time ago.
1t was stated Tuesday that the short
age of gondola cars is very acute, the
fact being that the railroads are having
considerable difficulty in supplying such
type cars for their patrons.
Conditions in the coal market, coupled
with increased operations in other in
dustial plants account in a measure for
the shortage, and the railroads are said
to be engaged in loadings which will
make the shortage even more acute dur
ing the next few weeks. This condition
is expected to be accumulated by the i'm
provement in the domestic coal market
which leaped skyward Tuesday with the
first advent of winter weather. -
Coal mines in the district, industrial
plants, and activity in construction
trades all contribute to the difficulty
of filling needed car acquisitions at this
time.
