f Written for the United Press)
Washington, Oct. 15. "Welfare
work" has not kept down the level of
wages in industrial plants where it has
been introduced, according to a bu
reau of labor report just issued by Dr.
Elizabeth Lewis Otey. It has, how
ever, acted as a brake against strikes
and other expressions of discontent
on the part of employes. It has great
ly strengthened the influence of the
factory manager over the factory
hands. It appeals to the underpaid
and illiterate class of workers whose
gratitude for the parks, rest-rooms,
dining rooms, baths, or other special
considerations is shown in loyalty to
the employer.
Dr. Otey defends the welfare sys
tem as "setting a higher standard of
comfort for the average employe, to
which all industrial plants will grad
ually be brought, by pressure of pub
lic opinion or by legislation." She
reasons that since welfare work has
proven "good business" for some of
those employers who have tried it,
the public has a right to demand that
all employers adopt its essential stan
dards. The report deals with 50 of the
largest Pnts in which welfare work

These include

tones, stores, notcis ana pumic mil-

savings banks, medical service and
other items are illustrated. In each
instance the employes appear to have
approved the scheme.
"Along with the welfare work, how
ever," remarked Dr. Otey, "the em
ployer miidit show a further recog
nition of his obligations to society by
trying to crystallize the higher stan-
dards In his own mill or factory
through legal enactment, and not by
opposing the passage of laws which
tend lo secure these benefits for all
workingmen."

NEW COALING STATION
WILL BE ESTABLISHED
New Survey Will Shorten Haul
to Navigable Water at
Least Fifty Miles.
(By United Press Association)
Seattle, Oct. 15. The United States
navy is going to mine its own coal
in Alaska. This became known today
through an announcement made in
official circles. Coal in sufficient
quantity and quality has been found
on the Matanuska coalfields by the
navy Alaska coal expedition now at
work there, to warrant the opening of
a big mine by the government.
Members of the expedition arrived
in Seattle yesterday to secure supplies
ancLoutfits for moving the coal tal:cn
out for tests on the sea coast. Such
favorable reports were sent the of
ficials of the navy department by its
men that the survey has been made of
a new route which will shorten the
haul to navigable water fifty miles.
It is also asserted that the probable
location of the navy's Alaskan coaling
station will be at a seaport not on
the map.
MEXICAN PRESIDENCY
NOTTO RELINQUISHED
Washington Considering Rec
ognition of Rebels as
Belligerants.
(By United Press Association)
Washigton, Oct. 15. Convinced
that President Ruerta has no idea of
relinquishing his grip on Mexico but
aims to emulate the example of Diaz,
the administration is admittedly con
sidering the recognition of the Mex
ican rebels as belligerants. It is per
sistently reported that the state de
partment is in unofficial communica
tion with the coustutionalist leaders
and is seeking information concern
ing their plans for reform. The sec
retary of state is said to be also en
deavoring to ascertain what pledges
tlicy arc .prepared to give in return
for partial recognition. In the event
that this plan is carried out it will
give the rebels the right to import
arms from the United States and it is
believed that it will insure the speedy
overthrow of President Huerta.

No Foundation for Report That
State Game Warden Closed
Pheasant Season.
THIS IS THE OPINION OF
MANY PUBLIC OFFICERS
Season on Malo Chinese Phea
sants Will Remain Open
Until Last of Month.
That there is no foundation for the
rumor that has been going the rounds
to the effect that the season has been
closed on pheasants by State Game
Warden Finley, upon the grounds that
too many hens have been slaughtered,
is the belief of several public offi
cials who have been consulted today
relative to this question. They will
contend that such an action could not
be taken by the state game warden
unless there is a provision in the law
that provides for such. The open and
closed game season is regulated by
the state legislature.
District Attorney Gale S. Hill stat
ed this afternoon that he had not
looked up the law to ascertain whe
ther the game warden could close the
season at his discretion. The district
attorney is of the opinion that there
is nothing to the rumor, or the fact
that the season had been closed would
have been given wide notice.
Just how the rumor became start
ed is not definitely known but it is
said that a game warden of this dis
trict is responsible. Several sports
men credit the statement to the war
den, who it is said declared that the
state warden has placed the lid on the
open season.
According to the laws of 1913 pro
tecting the fish and game of district
number 1, the open season on game
animals and birds therein, is as fol
lows: Game animals deer with horns,
from August 1 to October 31 of each

Game birds, ducks, geese, rail coots,
and shore birds, open seanson from
November 1 until February 15, of the
following year. Bag limit, thirty such
birds in any seven consecutive days.
Game birds, ducks, geese, rail, coot9,
coots and shore birds, open season
