Nov. 16. With week-end sessions planned, the special convention of the Maritime Federation of the Pacific, in session here today, awaited the response of Joseph P. Ryan, president of the International Longshoremen's Association, to a request that the federation be allowed to participate' in efforts to settle the Gulf of Mexico longshoremen's strike. NThe request was dispatched to Ryan following adoption of a reso lution at the convention. Its' pur pose, spokesmen said, was to hasten settlement of the Gulf disputej'in a manner satisfactory to bothi coasts." At the same, time, they said, representation of the federation would serve to keep the Pacific Coast group informed of developments injhe Gulf situation threatening to involve West Coast maritime workers through the "hot cargo" issue. CORPORATION REPLY Washington dispatches made public the reply of J. C. Peacock, president of the Merchant Fleet Corporation, to the convention's declaration that a strike vote "was Under consideration as a result of new regulations of the corporation governing wages and working con ditions on its vessels.

Merrlam Is expected next week to start naming members of the State commission to administer the unemployment In-( surance law, which becomes effec-1 tive on January 1. Five commissioners are authorized by 'the act, two to represent employees, one to represent retail merchants, one to represent larger employers and one to represent the public. John F. Chambers, former Civil Service commissioner here, is understood to be slated for appointment as one of the representatives of- employees on the commission. His name has been mentioned for one of the two along with that of John S. Horn of Los Angeles, a former president of the State Federation of Samuel Leask, of San Cruz, chairman of the legislative committee of the California Association of Retail and Specialty Stores, will be named as representative of retail merchants, according to reliable reports. The unemployment insurance law enacted Jjy the last sesislon of the Legislature provided that the commission promulgate its rules and regulations by December 1. It is unlikely that the commission will be able 'to organize and adopt Its set-up by that date.

Then she returns to -the bit of Old China that many of them have never Seen, They are taught the Chinese language by Mrs. Wah Lee, of Canton, and their nursery super-vlser for. the" little ones is Miss Mui Chew.

"Among the white people here, practically the only opportunities for our girls are domestic work. We have more, demands for mother's helpers than we can fill. But our girls are educated and ambitious. We have found their best chances lie among their own people hence an additional use for the lessons in Chinese etiquette and language. Our graduates include nurses, doctors, teachers and women in business life, working among the Chinese in America HOW HOME BEGAN The idea of the Ming Quong Home was born, of the discovery that our State orphanages were reluctant to accept Chinese' children and most Chinese have large. fam ilies of their own and hence do not care to adopt 'additional members. The Board of National Missions of the Presbyterian Church assumed th'e responsibility of taking in the girl waifar strandecLin a strange landand with no relative to care for tfiem, in.v America" or China. 1 The 20th anniversary of the Home was-ccelebrated with Chinese program last week-end.
