BALDWIN IS ATTACKED BY LLOYD GEORGE ‘British Preiier Criticised for Anglo-French Naval Accond LONDON, Nm 14.—President | Coolidge’s Armistice Day speech was the background for debate in ine between Prime Minister nml former Premier Lloyd George, | Liberal leader. The discussion was precipitat- ed when Lloyd George moved for| an amendment inviting the House of Commons to declare the Anglo- French naval the peace of Europe and the good relations of the United States. Defining the Premier Baldwin describ- it was an “honest and straight forward attempt to escape from ithe deadlock which developed at |Geneva and was threatening the cause of disarmament.” Attacking the Prime Minister’s reign policy, Lloyd George ask- the Hou of Commons official sgret, that the fo express - accord with France had aband- oned the principle small submarines, other naval vessels. of limiting cruisers and pF— $ F | | | Damage Runs Into Millions CATANIA, Sicily, Nov. 14. —Scientists have agreed that the eruption of Btna is waning.

His retire- ment, effective November 1, ter- minated an interesting railway | career. { When Harriman, the railroad or- | ganizer, districted* the Harriman [Mnes in 1904, Calvin, who had been | general superintendent at Salt Lake City, went to Portland as general manager of the road. Next he was at San Francisco as vice president of the Southern Pacific. Calvin directed railroad relief woik after the earthquake and fire. When the Union Paeific and South. ern Pacific were segregated in 1914 Calvin was assigned to the north. ern lines. In 1920 he became vice president of operations.

Expect Big Run The order represents dressing equipment for the expected large run of salmon, based on cycle records, salmon’ migrations and short season prescribed by gove, ernment regulations. Many Seattle canneries are ex- pected to follow suit in ordering new equipment, said John Wallace, President of the Smith f‘annerv Machine Company. The order is regarded by many as Deming’s reply to the talk of/ merging his firms with seven Se- attle canneries, negotiations which jwere halted last Spring when Dem. ling declined to enter into a pro- posed merger. Shiel's Views Archie Shiels, Vice-President of| the American Fisheries, scouted |such interpretation. Shiels said “We are not installing equipmen- ‘because we expect any more com- petition or possible merger with other interests. We are meraly improving the efficiency of our plants.”! New Cannery Operated Three of the new machines will| be installed in the Bellingham can-| nery and the other to be distribut. ed to the company’s canneries ut Annette Island, Gam- bier Bay, which will be operated| after being closed for some time: | Bering River, Squaw Harbor, King| Cove, Ikatan and Port Moller. More Equipment The Seattle equipment factory is also building seven machines at a cost of $42,000 for the Nichiro Company of Siberia which pro- duces 10 per cent of the worlds salmon pack for distribution (o London and Liverpool. President Wallace said the “fisn- ing regulations make it advisahle for the United States firms to in stall new equipment for the sho-t season, for the more fish thcy pack, the more money they make.” —————— FATIGUE CAUSES ACCIDENTS CHICAGO—Fatigue is a major accident hazard, a study of Chi- will be install- operated by “isheries ordered ’had witnessed an evolution in the | company N Il NEAU 14 LE, Nov. 14.

He said the figures face an increase next year He said the first stage of the development problem has been passed and it is no longer a ques- tion of finding a market but the question now is production.
