Reports of officers of the organiza

President Daniel C. Murphy, in the
course of his report, said: “From any
point of view, and particularly front
that of organized labor, the past year
should be considered an history mak
ing epoch and it can easily be ven
tured that not alone in California, but
throughout our country, greater pro
gress in securing industrial justice
has been made than for some years
past.
"Due to the unprecedented increase
in the cost of foodstuffs and other ne
cessities of life, some strikes have
been called, but in most instances the
employers have recognized the justice
of their employees claims and through
conciliation and arbitration many con
flicts have been avoided.”

the Second district, Lo; Angeles coun

!
(By Associated Press)
ATHENS, Oct. 10. — The German
advance of $20,000,000 to the recent^
government of King Constantine was
a financial transaction quite out of
the ordinary, as now developed under
the fierce scrutiny of the Venizelos
government, which displaced the Con
stantine regime.
As summed up by M. Venizelos him
self, the peculiar features were: While
a huge sum was involved, yet no real
money passed from Berlin to Athens,
as it was all a credit transaction to
be settled "after the war.” Also, al
though no lnJoey'^issed, Greece finds
herself obligated for this $20,000,000.
and is paying interest on it at 6 per
cent. Finally, as stated by Venizelos,
the depreciation of the Germany mark
was such that of the $20,000,000 only
$12,000,000 was realized, making a net
loss of $8,000,000.
The German advance was made
about a year ago, at the time the Con
stantine ministry needed funds to pay
the army which had been mobilized.
For some reason, however, it was de
cided to make it a secret transaction,
and not inscribe it in the budget or
report it to parliament dlong with
other loans. This was about the time
the entente allies presented an ulti
matum demanding the demobilization
of the Greek army, which probably
accounts for the loan being kept a
secret.
In laying before parliament details
of the affair, M. Venizelos said that
Germany had in effect said: “In these
critical times, we cannot advance ac
tual money. But you can order your
government bank to print $20,000,000
of bank notes, and we will order our
bank to open a credit for $20,000,000,
payable not today but at the end of
the war.”
This was actually carried out, M.
Venizelos explained, the printing press
at Athens turning out the $20,000,
000 in bills, based on the Berlin de
posit. but without any transfer of
money. The interest began to run at
once.
The Hank of Greece is the storm
center of this agitation over the Ger
man loan, as it negotiated the loan
and issued the $20,000,000 paper
money. It is a government bank, and
as such it has a status throughout Eu
rope.
M. Venizelos now announces that
the management of the bank is to be
entirely overhauled. A new manager
Is to be brought from abroad, probably
from one of the allied capitals, so he
will be less sympathetic toward ad
vances from Germany. The govern
ment will also oppose the extension of
the bank's charter, M. Venizelos also
innounces.
The German advance to the Con
Uantine regime has thus become one
3f the chief political and financial sen
sations of the day .and has culminated
in a complete turnover of the govern
ment bank, which is the corner-stone
jf Greece’s financial operations.

In letters received from Washing

and it is likely that it will be some
months before the official decision is

After all the evidence arrives, it
will be necessary to have it printed.
After that there will be a period of
about 60 days for the preparation of
briefs, which also have to be printed
before the case can he given to the

Then these committees often take

NEW MOTOR TO
IKE /AMERICA
KOFI .
JUNEAU, Oct. 10.—The so-called
new “Liberty” motor which is expect
ed to make America king of the air. is
causing widespread comment.
General W. p. Richardson, when
seen today by an Empire reporter,
said the motor was declared by Ameri
can engineers and the secretary of
war to be the most powerful stand
ard aviation motor ever invented.
Consulting engineers and motor man
ufacturers gave up their trade secrets
in order to assist. The secretary of
war in a recent statement said:
"Parts of the first engine were
turned out at twelve different factor
ies, located all the way from Connec
ticut to California. YYrhen the parts
were assembled the adjustment was
perfect and the performance of the
engine was wonderfully gratifying.
This in itself demonstrates the capa
bilities of American factories when
put to the test, and when thoroughly
organized for emergency work of this
sort.
“One of the chief rules outlined at
the beginning of the designing work
was that no engineer should be per
mitted to introduce construction
that had not been tried out. There
was no time for theorizing. The new
engine is successful because it em
bodies the best thought of engineer
ing experience to date. Not only did
this country furnish ideas through
celebrated consulting engineers, but
the representatives in the United
States of England. Italy and Franco
co-operated in the development of this
motor.
“Thirty days alter the assembling
of the first engine preliminary tests
justified the government in formally
accepting the engine as the best air
craft engine produced in any coun
try. The final tests confirmed our
faith in the new motor in every de
gree.”

Contestants Will Show
Big Increase Saturday
bonus votes of the 16th. This is done so that each candidate can have the
same length of time and the same opportunity of getting the extra votes.
Due to the severe rainstorm the local candidates did not venture down
town until after time to go to press, so the positions are shown instead of
votes. A double increase will be shoVvn in Saturday's issue. The positions
of the different candidates follow:
MRS BLANCHE BUTLER, McCarthy..
MISS KATHRYN DENNIS, Kennecott.2
MISS MARIE ROSSWOG, City. 3
MRS. SADIE MCDONALD, Strelna. 4
MRS. HELEN BALLARD, City." _ 5

MISS LOLA TURNER, City.
MISS EMMA SHEPARD, City... . . . . ! 8
MISS HARRIET ANDERSON, City.... ' 9
The above standing of the candidates shows the good work which each
candidate is doing, and that the way tsecure votes is by real hard work. For
the balance of the bonus offer it would be very well for each spare mo
ment to be carefully figured so that the most good could be accomplished?
There are still several days of the extra offer at your disposal, and the
large vote offer will take a downward course to double votes, and after
the 26th the schedule on the back of the receipt book will be the one in
force.
To the subscribers who are new, and you have the names, it would
be doing your friends a favor if you would leave their name at The
Times office and see that their paper gets a start, as they will be as in
terested in your campaign as you are yourself, and it would be very In
teresting to them to watch your progress in the campaign. Now we do
not care if you do not register all the names that you have, unless they are
new ones, and we are very urgent that all new names should be turned in
so that subscribers can get the paper, as many Inquiries come to thlB of
fice regarding people not getting their paper after subscribing. The out of
town candidates will have the privilege of mailing subscriptions from
their home postoffice on the evening of the 16th, and will carry the extra
