Former Head of US. Ship ping Board Dies in
 Chicago Hospital

CHICAGO, H., Nov. 15.-EdWard N. Hurley, former head of the United States Shipping Board, died in a hospital here last night after a brief illness.
 Eminently successful in practi- cally everything he attempted, Ed ward Nash Hurley faced the great est and most important task oi his life in 1917, when he was ap- pointed chairman of the United States Shipping Board.
 With the United States in the World War there was a crying need for ships to transport men and supplies to the other side Urged on by President Wilson's admonition, Hurley, we must go the limit the new chairman cast aside formalities and made a good job of his assignment.
 Wilson's Acknowledgment
 How we'll he performed his work was indicated two years later when President Wilson, accepting his resignation as Chairman of the Shipping Board, wrote that MT Hurley had served the country with distinction in these difficult times. No one ever served his country's interests more devotedly than you did and personally I am deeply grateful to you"

!NRA System for Territory Is Approved; 3-Mm Board
 WiU Work Out AU Details

WASHINGTON, D. C., NOV. A. Special Correspondence)- Taking into consideration the remoteness of Alaska from continental Unit ed States, a remoteness that col ors every phase of industrial &C., tivity, the National Recovery Ad- ministration has approved a plan calculated to confer the benefits of the National Industrial Recov- cry Act upon the Territory with out chancing irreparable damage to labor or industry or both.
 Public announcement of the plan which will also probably extend to Hawaii and Porto Rico, has not been made in Washington but there is slight likelihood that it will not go through as now con- | ceived.
 Troy, Dimond Approve The plan has the unqualified approval of Governor Troy and Delegate Dimond. They believe it has the best features of all the various proposals suggested to take care of the Territory. As a matter of fact, Delegate Dimond has been consulted frequently in the evolv- ing of the plan and several of his suggestions have been incor- porated in it.
 Obviously the national codes could not be applied without al- iteration to Alaska without risking violent disturbances in every walk of life. The minimum wage rates would in the vast majority of cases not provide even bare sub sistence for Alaska workmen. On the other hand, other provisions of the codes would bear down heavily upon those classified as employers.
 Under this special plan the various interested groups in AL aska will have full opportunity to the national codes.
 Board of Three A recovery board, probably com- posed of three members, will be set up. It will hold hearings which are expected to bring out all pertinent facts. This is one phase which appeals particularly to the Delegate, and he believes it will have similar appeal generally throughout the Territory, for the reason that Alaskans can make their wants known directly to a board which will understand local problems. Few could afford the expense involved in making trip to Washington for a hearing af- fecting their particular industry, and fortunately the National Re- ccvery Administration recognizes that fact.
 The board is to be headed by a deputy administrator. He has not yet been selected, but it is defin- itely known that he will be man now with the MIRA in Washing ton. This point is insisted upon for the reason that the deputy ad- ministrator must be well grounded i in MIRA procedure.
 After hearing requests for code amendments, the board will make recommendations to the MIRA in Washington. and the power of fi-

 No foreigners incur difficulties in large centers in this country from practicing their own religious be- liefs, it is pointed out. Many churches still function in Russia.
