THE MORNING OliEGONIAN, THURSDAY, HECE3IBER 21, 1916. V NI5D00- IN 3 DAYS NEEDED BY BUREAU Welfare Workers Hope to Col lect All of $25,000 Budget for Year in One Effort. FINAL APPEAL IS MADE ' prepared a statement showing that the word "rural" in the title of an act or the 1915 Legislature providing- for credit unions and co-operative associa tions, is misleading and he desires that the act be changed. He suggests that the following amendments be made to the act in question; First Chance the title of the act to har- monlza with the Intent and Dumoses of the law, -ty using the words ''Co-operative Credit Unions." Second Confine such organizations to a limited field of operation. Third Restrict the membership to inti mates and associates, in close touch with one another, requiring; each member to be identified with the basic unit upon which the union Is founded. Fourth Make specflo provision for ex aminations by the department, which la only implied by the present act. Fifth inasmuch as one of the purposes for which credit unions are organized is the payment of dividends to shareholders, and the state Is put to considerable expense of examination and supervision, it would also seem advisable that section S.s nf tha mr-t. which exempts such credit unions from the payment or taxes, be repealed. dhrlstmnisis ' P-ireseofcs Elefga.m1L audi' Useful for Elegant Homes Jlcturns Are Coming In Fast, but Mill Have to Come In Faster It Mark Is to Be Attained.

Snppoaed Flam la to Korbtd Cargoes In British Vessels Not Intended for Subjects of Empire. NEW YORK, . Dec 20. A deBlre of the British government to mobilize under one general head the entire ocean cargo-carrying facilities of the tmlted Kingdom for the exclusive benefit or the allied armies and the great civilian populations of the allied countries. Is the reason behind the statement of Premier Lloyd George that the shipping of Great Britain will be "nationalized." according to leading British shipping men here. For some time one of the represent ative steamship men said today, all British vessels have had about one third of their cargo space comman deered for grain. This space has re cently been increased to such an extent now the New York agent has about one-third of his ship available to pri vate shippers. The same authority added that It Is his belief more space would be con trolled by the government by regula tlons requiring that all cargo be of ficially designated. Designation of cargo will mean that the shipping in British bottoms of any commodity other than that necessary for malnte nance of army and civil life will be forbidden. It Is also deemed not unlikely that British ships now engaged in trade between neutral countries will called on to take their place In the line of ships engaged in carrying sup plies to Great Britain and her allies.
