Give Company Until Tuesday to Restore Former Prices. PAX FRANCISCO. March 22. At a meeting of the Alaska Fishermen's Protective Union today, attended by over 630 men. the latest proposition of the Alaska Packers' Association for a 2 rer cent reduction In the wage schedule for the salmon season in the North was rejected unanimously. Six hundred and fifty-four votes were cast and only one favored the acceptance of the wage cut. The executive committee of the union was instructed to notify the pacKers at In o'clock tomorrow of this action, and to demand an answer by 10 o'clock TueBday. If none is forth coming, all the fishermen engaged in the salmon business on the Alaska packers boats, to the number of 3000, will be called out. While they admit the present situa tion has the aspect of a crisis, the offi cials of the Alaska Packers' Associa tion refused to make a statement. "We cannot say what will be done In the present Instance." said Vice President C. W. Dorr, of the Alaska Packers' Association, tonight. "I pre fer to say nothing about the matter." It is the general sentiment along the water front that the strike, if any be called, will cot extend beyond the ves sels of the Alaska Packers' Associa tion, but as there are 77 vessels in the fteet of this company, a strike against the Alaska packers alone would be a (.crious thing. The fishermen today took a determined attitude. The vote was taken by means of the secret bal lot, and when it was announced the hall on Stouart street rang with cheers. "While 1 do not anticipate that the Alaska packers will break with us." said Secretary Hylen, of the Fisher men's I'nion. this morning. "I feel sure the fishermen would rather strike than submit to a decrease In the schedule paid last y.ar. We can see no reason for the decrease of the pay of the fish ermen. Ijist year's schedule was not exorbitant, and the packers made good money. This year the pack Is expect ed to be better, and the price of red salmon has advanced on an average of SO cents a case. When you consider that the Alaska packers alone will probably put up 1.000,003 cases of sal men thia increase in the price would hardly Justify the decrease In wages offered the fishermen. We feel that the packers are simply making the ex cuse that the financial stringency hampers thm. In order to get cheaper lnbor, and we wilt not work for less than we were paid last year. Today's expression of opinion by the fishermen was practically unanimous and a strong one." RESIGNS FROM CONGRESS (Continued From Finn Page, i Of Representatives for nearly nine years.

Or., March 22. (Spe cial.! Coroner Holman this morning brought to the morgue the body of a man who was found in the woods on the old Latourette place near the Newell Creek bridge. Two little girls were gathering flowers in the woods when they came upon the body. The identity of the man cannot be as certained, but he had evidently been dead for more than a year. There was nothing left except a skeleton, and the clothing had almost entirely rotted away. Not a scrap of paper was found, but in a pocket were a knife, and a purse con taining $2.45. The man wore a diagonal black coat and a soft black hat. There were no visible marks on the bones to furnish a theory that the man came to his death by violence, and it is pososlble that he either took poison, or else wandered Into the woods and lay down to die. The skeleton is about i feet 8 inches tall. WANT XEW PASSENGER DEPOC Mc.Miiinville to Make Proposal to Southern Pacific Company. McMINNVILLE, Or., March 22. (Special.) The citizens oT thia place have decided to- ask the Southern Pa cific for a new passenger depot, the present structure, erected 35 years ago, having long' since become Inadequate to the requirements of the Increased traffic. It is the intention to ask the railroad company to procure a half block of ground on the west side of the tracks and abutting on Third etreet upon which to erect the building. If they will do this the heaviest property owners on Third street have signified their desire to ask the council for the passage of an ordinance providing for the pavement of the street from the depot west for a distance of several blocks and possibly to the boundaries of the newly acquired park. The Business Men's League petitioned last year for a new depot. Manager O'Brien. In a courteous reply. told them that the matter could not be taken up at that time, but that next season it might be considered. Upon this ray of hope, and with the added argument that during the past Win ter incoming passengers have been compelled to alight from the trains In the mud at the street crossing be cause of lack of depot and platform room, the people will again ask for a building more In line with the require ments of the expanding business at this station.

NEW YORK, March 22. The story of a strange shipwreck on the high seas and a narrow escape from death was told by Captain Griffls and the crew of five of the Baltimore schooner William H- Skin ner, abandoned at sea, on their arrival here today aboard the Cunard liner Ktru ria from Liverpool. The Skinner sailed from George, S. C, February 14, for New Haven, Conn., with a cargo of lumber. The next day the schooner ran into a heavy gale, and in the high seas the heavily-laden craft be gan to leak. In the pitch and pound of the combers, the seams of the Skinner began to open. The crew manned the pumps, but the schooner filled rapidly and suddenly turned over on her port side. Captain Griflls and the crew scrambled up on the starboard side of the hull and lashed themselves fast. Swept by the seas, the men thus remained for three hours, when the schooner suddenly right ed itself. Cutting themselves free from the lash ings, the crew succeeded in reaching the schooner's deck. Days passed, and pro visions and water, though carefully hus banded, gave only scant nourishment to Captain Grlffis and his men. In a week's time they faced death from starvation. February 22, when hope was almost lost, the British steamer Brayhead, bound from Galveston for Belfast, was sighted. The Brayhead bore down orf the water logged schooner and took off her sailors.

In many sections the railroads of the present day are operating at their fullest capacity; freights are increasing more rapidly than means of transportation are af--forded. The waterways must be util ized to handle the surplus freight; more over. It is in the Interest of the public welfare that they should bo Improved and made practical avenues of com merce, so that water rates may continue to regulate rates by rail. Modern "Laws Are Xeeded Many of the laws on the statute books are obsolete; they were passed for a day and age when dofferent conditions ex isted than exist today. Obsolete laws should give way to modern legislation. But such laws cannot be passed until public interest Is stimulated. That is one of the objects which the President had in mind when he called this big natural resources conference. By arous ing Interest and impressing upon the people the utter necessity of caring for the needs of future -generations. he hopes to bring about much-needed legis lation. But the National Government cannot do It all; much responsibility rests upon the Btates. By bringing together the Governors of all the states and territories, the President will learn what the various states are doing .toward conserving natural resources; he will also ascer tain how successful the National Gov ernment has been In protecting the for ests, improving the waterways, re claiming the deserts, and otherwise coneervlng the natural resources. He wants suggestions as to what is needed in the various states; reports on what has already been accomplished; criti cisms on present-day methods. Out of tlil6 mass of information it will be possible, it is believed, to evolve some tangible movement which will more thoroughly and more satisfactorily tend to preserve the natural resources of every state and territory. The President Is aware that great strides have been made along the line he has indicated, but there Is yet much to be accomplished. But if he can re tire from office knowing that he has brought the Nation to a full realization of the importance of looking to the welfare of the future, he will be in tensely gratified. A successful termin ation to the forthcoming conference would. In the opinion of the President, be the crowning event of his adminis tration. His heart Is In the project, and if he receive the co-operation that he expects, his efforts will not be in vain. GRAFT AMONG THE FINEST Xew York Inspector Reduced to Captain of Brooklyn Station.

In Rus sia the Invitation extended to the Ameri can fleet by Japan Is applauded as a shrewd move in diplomacy. The Bourse Gazette, speaking of this, says: "America naturally could not refuse to accept the Invitation, yet its acceptance will serve as a public attestation of the peaceful intentions of Japan, of which she Is especially in need.
