CONFERENCE is NEAR.
Likely to Be Called Shortly After
French Ratify.

LONDON, July GP).-The British
government is in constant touch with
Washington and Toxic regarding the
Chinese situation and the opinion is
expressed in official circles here that
the way will be cleared soon for a
conference of the powers for adjust
ment of the Chinese customs. This,
in turn, will offer an opportunity for
the powers to cooperate with China
in setting her house in order, officials
here believe.
This opinion is based upon the
recent ratification by the French
Chamber of Deputies of the treaties
affecting China, formulated by the
Washington conference. zone of
these treaties contemplates an inquiry
into the present eXtraterritorial
privileges enjoyed by foreigners in
China and the other looks to an
ultimate revision of the Chinese
cuStoms.)
France is the last of the nine powers
participating in these treaties TO ratify
them. When FTench ratification Is
complete it should be possible for a
conference of the powers and China
to be held without delay, according
to British officials They add, how
ever, that the exact date will neces-
sarily depend upon the turn the pres
ent disturbed situation in China may
take.

HONOR MINER WHO
LOST LIFE TRYING TO
SAVE FELLOW WORKER
By InternationaI Labor News Service

By international Labor News Service
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 26.
Recognition of heroism performed
on no reeking field of battle, but in
the ranks Of industry, is given in the
awarding of the hero medal Of the
Joseph A. Holmes Safety Association
to William Culp, who lost his life in
salt mine near Detroit, Mich, while
endeavoring to rescue a fellow-work-
er.
Culp, q job superintendent, of his
own volition, lowered himself in a
bucket to the depth of a 55O-foot
shaft on June Is, 1924, in an effort to
save the life of an employee who had
previously descended the shaft to in
vestigate the breakdown of a pump,
and from who no word had been re-
ceived, due to the failure of the sig
nal system. Culp made an almost
superhuman, though unsuccessful,
effort to rescue his fellow-worker,
forcing his way through an accumu-
lation of several feet of water and an
atmosphere permeated by deadly
gases. After having exhausted his
energies in his attempt to rescue the
other man, Culp was unable to climb
back into the shaft bucket, and was
drowned.
The hero medals of the Joseph A.
Holmes Safety Association are be-
slowed Annually on miners whose acts
of courage and self-sacrifice in the
succor of their comrades in the stress
of mine disasters are considered to
be the most deserving of his high
honor. The Joseph A. Holmes Safety
Association is an organization num-
bering in it's membership thousands
of miners banded together for the
promotion of safety in mining and
constitutes a living memorial to the
memory of the first director of the
Bpreau of Mines.
Representatives of the Bureau of
Mines of the Department of the In
terror, the American Mining Cong
ress, the National Coal Association,
and the United Mine Workers of
America, as members of the execu-
tive committee of the association, rec
commended the posthumous honor for
Culp. The presentation of the hero
medals are made at the international
first-aid mine rescue contests which
are held annually at different cities.

members, while paying local union
dues, are not, under a strict interpre-
tation Of the constitution, members
Of the international organization.
Secretary Kennedy in a statement
to the district said that District No.
/ had been classed as having a 100
per cent dues-paying membership,
that according to the tax paid into
the district and international unions
the district is only about 80 per cent
organized.
Secretary Kennedy pointed out that
during the recent strike trouble in
District No. l some $4,000 employees
on strike were dues-paying members
in their various local unions, while
the locals reported tax to the inter-
national representing only a little
more than one-half of this number.
1t is this condition that the interna-
tional officials seek to clear up, mas
much as every payer of local union
dues is entitled also to be a member
of the international union.

Labor Representatives Meet
Previous to the hearing in the
House chamber a meeting of repre-
sentatives of labor from all parts of
the State was held and addressed by
President Frey and Secretary Dom
nelly. The meeting declared that
every effort would be made to secure
the passage of the bill. There were
about $50 present from virtually
every district in the Stat.
Upon the adjournment they pro-
ceeded to the capitol and interview
ed their respective members of the
House and Senate and urged them to
vote for the measure.
President Frey believes that every
State federation of labor should take
up this question and introduce bill
along similar lines, for it seeks to
preserve liberty rather than to re-
strain it by declaring II. to be against
public policy to surrender the free
dom of joining labor union or or
ganization of employers.

washington BIRTH RATE
GRADUALLY DECLINING

SEATTLE, Wash, March 49,
A gradual decline of the birth rate
in the state of Washington has &C.
Cured during the last four years, ac-
cording to DR.. Paul A. Turner, Di-
rector of the State Department of
Health. In 1921 there were 2,O32.0
births per 100000 population of all
colors; in 1922, 1,S64.2 births per
100000 population; in 1928, 1919
per 100000 population; and in 1924
only 1,7S0.8 per 100000 population.
The reduction in the birth rate
does not apparently apply to all hu-
man races in the state as statistics
for the last four years indicate that
fewer children are now born from
white and Japanese parentage while
the birth rates of negroes, Indians,
Chinese and others are steadily in
creasing.
Although slightly increasing from
year to year, the Seattle birth rate
is the lowest in the state (17.2 per
100000 population) and Yakima has
the highest birth rate among the
cities of the first class in the state
(30.s per 100000 population).
The fact that the number of births
for 1924 (25,634) is sti1 far ahead
of the number of deaths speaks well
for the prosperity and general health
conditions of Washington, but this ex-
cess of births and deaths in dimin-
ishing quite rapidly and although
this general reduction is not as yet
alarming, it is worthy of attention.

Preparations are being made on several island ranches to install one or more pens for the raising of pen bred foxes While the ultimate pur- pose of all island ranches is the pro duction of belts, it is seen that the demand next year for pen bred blues is going to assume considerable pro- portions and no difficulty should be encountered in disposing of all the pen bred foxes that can be raised The superior quality of Southwestern Alaska Blues is being recognized with the result that the few who are pen raising foxes have more orders than they can possibly fill.
 Andrew Grosvold of Sand Point re- ports a costly encounter with fake fox purchaser who agreed early last season to purchase some 200 pairs of live foxes from him Andy writes that the business of the transaction consisting of numerous letters and telegrams between himself and the prospective buyer, covering period of six months had all the appear ances of a genuine trade except the man failed to appear with his money when Andy had the foxes collected and ready for delivery at the date upon which they had agreed.
