The meeting - adjourned at moon Wednesday, 2 Concrete must chan the federal Reserve bank law before the .new branch bank can be established, but Selection of the location may be made at any time. Directors of the local federal reserve bank discussed the question of location from every angle but made no decision. A. C.

The facts and figures presented by lOlmstead.- J. C. Ainsworth. of the United States National bank, and K. JC- Crawford of the L,umbermans National bank, were of the most con vlncing character. ' Opponents Admit Case. t The bankers of Seattle and Spokane also argued earnestly for their re spective cities, but they had to admit that Portland was the geographical center of the district. That is the big point. In the opinion of the Port end financiers, and they believe that iinai eiona aimasi wm ieiu ma quoe t Ion In their favor- Tne three Portland men 'showed by : the map how their city has a great 'advantage over Seattle and Spokane by being the geographical center of ' Jthe district to be affected by the branch bank and as such would be the logical place for the Institution. 2 J n this connection, they pointed out that the bank ought to be in the geo- ,graphlcal center of the district, be cause it would then be easier to estab Jliah out of town collections.

This Question is expected to have some weight with the federal reserve bank directors in arriving at a decision. Messrs; Olmstead. Crawford and Alneworth also pointed to Portland's mail service as an important factor. Seattle bankers mixed a little Se attle spirit with their arguments, but when they were pinned down they frankly admitted that Portland has the advantage as to location. Spo kane and, Waua Walla bankers also admitted tnat. , -in tact, the Spokane representatives leaned kindly towards Portland during the arguments. ' Another fact that weighed heavily in favor of Portland Is the result of a vote recently cast by member banks In Oregon, Washington and Idaho on the Question of location. This result was overwhelmingly for Portland, the big majority voting for Oregon's me tropolis as the imost convenient for the three northwestern states. , -,. II !. . I.. ... I ..I.

I believe that the American sea man will do all he can to assist the navy," he said at a meeting of the sailors he addressed Wednesday night at their headquarters on Union ave nue near Burnside. Btreet. "To fur nish seamen for the American navy the American must be induced to go to sea and places must be furnished him by eliminating from the mer chant service the men of the orient and Europe who will not learn the American language and cannot be as J imilated. "We. who are Americans, will stand by the country, no matter where we were born. There are not enough of us, .because the American boy has not been treated properly when he . did go to sea, and our merchant marine has sought cheap, unreliable, unpa triotic labor and filled the forecastles with it." Furuseth says that , in the Atlantic states the foreign vessels are reahlp ping crew on the American wage scale of $46 a wionth and 25 per cent bonus for the war son service. On this coast he has found that American sea men are, with remarkable unanimity, agreeing- to serve in any capacity.
