Aims beggars on the streets of

OPPOSITION
|SSTRONG
Sensational Disclosures Due
in Probe Of Methods
of Conducting Business

An attempt to block any action
looking toward enactment by the
present Congress of laws govern
ing the issuance Of securities and
the foreclosure Of mortgages is
seen by Senator John J. Blaine,
of Wisconsin, chairman Of the
District subcommittee on insur-
ance and banks which is consider
ing the legislation.
To Study Bills
Senator Blaine's committee will
bold a hearing on the proposed
kills tomorrow, and It is freely
forecast on Capitol Hill that SEN
sational disclosures of the con-
Duct of these businesses here may
be expected at the hearing.
Senator Blaine said today he
believes certain interests are at
work in an effort to prevent his
committees reporting out and
obtaining favorable action upon
propose3 regulatory measures.
The Wisconsin leader declined to
specify who the interests are, but
asserted that he has definite in
formation that they are at work.
The subcommittee has already
devoted considerable study to con-
ditions in the real estate business
here, and the Senate has passed
a bill prepared by it providing
for the licensing Of real estate
agents.
Group Is Defied
The committee was openly de-
fled by Harry Wardman, widely
known local builder, who refused
to submit his records to it for
study. 1t is probable that the
committee tomorrow will further
consider Mr.. Wardmans refusal
to testify and decide on what
steps it will take in the matter. >.

REFUND To END
.FURLOUGHS At
BUREAU
&c. ,000,000,00O Loan Plan
Of Mellon May Rush U. S.
Engraving Plants Labors

The present system of rotating
furloughS at the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing probably
will end next April, provided Con-
gress enacts the Liberty loan
refunding legislation requested by
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon,
it was learned today.
Full-time work for the bureau
force Of 4,500 workers will be
furnished for the next IA months
by the huge job Of printing the
new certificates required by the
refunding process.
Still Face IdleneSs
At the present time nearly 10
per cent Of the total working
force is on furlough every day.
This includes 1O4 plate printers,
80 printers assistants, and 181
female operatives. The plate
printers average six days out OF
every month in idleness, while
their assistants have about one
day a week on furlough.
The loan refunding operation,
which will involve about $8,000,-
100000 in Liberty loan certifi-
Gates callable in 1882, now paying
rate of ~ per cent interest
without tax exemption, is the
only legislation in sight to re.
lieve the present slackness of
work at the bureau.
Urge Small Denominations
President Green, of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor; Luther
C. Steward, head of the Fedora
tion of Federal Employees, and
others are active in pressing the
legislation to the attention OF
Congress with an amendment
which they have proposed to as
sure that portion Of the new
certificates shall be offered to
small investors as well as TO
banks, corporations and insurance
companies.
Without such provlSo IN the
enabling legislation, these labor
leaders fear that the Treasury
Department will take a short
cut" and issue all new certificates
in denominations Of $1,000 or
more. thus confining their pur.
chase to a comparatively small
class.
From the viewpoint Of workers
in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, the proposed amendment
is a vital one, because the job OF
printing the certificates will be
many times as large if they are
in small denominations.

|O'MALLEY PLANS
 TO OPEN MOUTH. OF YUKON RIVER.
Will Recommend King Sal mon Fishing to Permit
 Limited Local Pack

Washington.-Special Correspond ence)-Various people living along
 Yukon river have written the Dele gate asking that he exert his in- fluence with the Bureau of Fisher ies to the end that fishing opera tions might be conducted at the mouth of the river After a very satisfactory conference with Com missioner Henry OMalley last week the Delegate received a letter from the Commissioner reading as fol- lows:
 Confirming our conference of today regarding the opening of the Yukon to limited amount of fish, ing: For long while 1 have been favorable to an opening of the le- gal area of 800 yards off the mouth of the river where gill net fishing can be conducted, but feared that if it were thrown open and the salmon market became sta- bilized, operations might become so extensive as to be harmful to the river.
 After our discussion, I have ar rived at the definite conclusion that fishing operations can be permit ted on the basis of allowing 50,- 900 to 60,o00 King salmon to be taken. This, in my judgment, will not encourage any large canneries to go into that field but will per- init the local people to sell and ship their product to the States.
 T shall, therefore, recommend to the Secretary of Commerce in the regulations that will be issued in December, 1881, that the river be opened to King salmon fishing, limiting operations to King salmon gill nets, and limiting the season to the time when the bulk of King salmon are running. There will undoubtedly be some chum salmon caught but only a limited number, 1 in my judgment, and will not inter- 1 feTe with the people living along the river who depend on catching salmo nto dry for their own food an tdhat of their dogs. hope | that this action will bring about | a small industry at the mouth of { the Yukon, conducted by local peo- ! pie. You may give this such pub | licity as you desire" |
