A POLET
BEST HATED MAN
JUMPS THE JOB
LONDON,—The Berliner Zeitung
nays that Admiral von Hintze, who
has been Foreign Secretary since the
Zimmerman resignation, has quit his
portfolio when Hertling resigned the
Chancellorship.
Hintze is notoriously the most hat
ed man in Germany. He has been an
aggressive exponent of the aristo
cratic war policy and rose to his pres
ent position by an unqualified support
of the von Tirpitz wholesale subma
rining methods which dragged Ameri
ca into the war vortex. ,
His tenure of the position of Fore
ign Secretary has resulted in the es
trangement of so many neutrals who
feared to war with Germany but
which from being friendly became sul
lenly hostile in spirit, that even the
German papers have not hestitated to
report him as the best hated man in
Europe.
While the papers have been careful
not to directly attack his positon he
has been covertly the butt of several
articles wherein he was handled as
an anonymous figure.
He enjoyed the more than usual
esteem of the Kaiser and has always
been the bosom friend of Prince
Henry of Prussia whose mouthpiece
he was regarded in matters wherein
the Prince might not personally speak
He is blamed for the withdraw^
of Bulgaria from the Teutonic alii
ance.
DRAFT LOTTERY
IS COMPLETED
WASHINGTON,— The Draft lot
tery in the new draft was completed
at eight o’clock Tuesday morning, af
ter continuous work.
WASHINGTON,—The War Depart
ment announces that De Haviland
planes to the number of twenty daily,
are arriving in Prance from America.
The announcement ts given out by
General Kenly.
MUST ('ONSILT EMPLOYEES
SEATTLE,—For the purpose of
suggesting changes in the Workmen’s
Compensation Act of Washington, a
meeting of employers, called by the
state Industrial Insurance Commis
sion, was held in the Chamber of Com
merce last Wednesday. The employers
of the city were well represented at
the meeting.
Charles R. Case, city superinten
dent of streets, who was sent to the
meeting as a representative of the
city board of public works, which was
invited as an employer of labor, vig
orously protested against amend
ments to the law in which the work
ers were so vitally interested, being
selected at a meeting at which only
employers of labor were present. As
a result of this protest, it was decided
to submit the matters involved to a
committee of 14, seven employers
and seven employees, to be hereafter
selected.
WAGE LAW VIOLATED
SACRAMENTO,—The State Labor
Commissioner’s office is receiving
complaints that fruit and vegetable
canneries in this locality are making
no pretense of observing the state
minimum wage law for women anti
minors. This law provides for 1C
cents an hour for birls. In one case
a girl worked three days and was pair
5 cents. The company held out foi
caps, aprons, brass name check anti
other accessories that it deemed neces
sary in the handling of fruit and vege
tables.
COPPER MINERS GAIN
JEROME, Ariz.—Hywel Davies
representing the United States De
partment of Labor, has ruled that the
wage of the copper miners in this
district shall be increased 75 cents a
day. He also orders a reduction in
rents of company owned houses and
WASHINGTON,—Sweden gives

an agreement perfected last July.
Sweden in exchange is to get coal,
Cotton and food.

Germans have been captured by the
Allies in western Siberia.
light and water rates.
DISCRIMINATION
SEATTLE,—Between 60 and 70
office workers from various shipyards
in Seattle enrolled as members of a
union formed last Friday night at a
meeting called for that purpose by
Charles W. Doyle, organizer for the
American Federation of Labor. Ap
plication for charter will be made at
once.
“We sure need a union if we are to
keep our wages and working condi
tions in the office on a par with those
of the men out in the yards,” said one
of the members.
It was reported that several men
have been discharged from one of the
shipyard offices since signifying their
intention of joining the union. J. F.
Duthie’s was named as the office in
question. Mr Duthie is in the east,
but wires have been sent him request
ing him to instruct his office superin
tendent to reinstate the men at once.
Agent Wolff of the Pacific Steam
ship Co expects to get the Watson here
on Friday and set sail Friday night
with the Nome bunch for the Outside.
This calculation is of course based
upon weather conditions remaining
favorable. There has to be moved
considerable freight at Golovin and
about 2500 barrels of fish taken on
there as well, but given common or
garden luck, the agent expects the
Watson to make it within the time
limit schedule. By the way that the
Watson will call at Anchorage is a
mistake, that order having been
changed.
The Watson will not call into. Cook’s
i Inlet but after touching Bristol Bay,
Akutan and Kodiak, will depart direct
for Seattle. This will shorten the trip
considerably.
The Watson carried gasoline and
