ZTr V. tt of tho passenger and vehicle of Tenth street rail and water terminal at Shanghai, China, in close association with a similar terminal on the Pacific coast of the L'nited States, is a business transaction that has been practically brought about by Roy W. Gllmore and E. H. Dodge, American business men of the Chinese city, now In Oakland.

The two Americans are contracting; with Chinese In the Orient who have the one remaining' terminal site at Shanghai, and have become Identified with the Parr Terminal Interests on the Oakland western waterfront, and plan that the Oriental enterprise will cooperate directly with the local plant In the fast handling of freight between the two continents. Uilmoro and Dodgev since their arrival, have been furthering; the plana of the Parr Terminal to erect a large factory loft budding for the accommodation of small manufac turing concerns. The Oakland Cham bcr of Commerce state that they have a number of applications for such space that there are at present no accommodations for. The proposed building will be erected on the unit plan. There will be heat, power, compressed air and unex celled transportation furnished the tenants of these buildings.

The rail road tracks run alongside of the site and tho deep'water of the terminal frontage is right at the doors of the tenants. There Is not American terminal in the Orient at the present time, according to Gllmore. This sort of business is handled by British interests, he says, and every American business man In the Orient is urging an American terminal for this season. Gil more said: "Before we left the Orient, large Russian interests called upon us, an tlclpating the market. We we; unable to deal with them, due to a fall In Shanghai exchange We anticipate? making agency agreements pertaining to the Siberian trade exclusively.

"The situation from the standpoint of the American in the Orient, depends entirely upon the attitude of ihe American manufacturer at home. If manufacturers will cater to Uie requirements of Oriental trade. It is impossible to estimate the great volume of business between the Orient and the United States. This is because Americans are the best liked "foreigners' in the 'estimation of the Chinese. Amerlcaij big business can unload its surplus product In the Orient.

The enlarged production made necessary by the war may be kept going and unemployment In this country lessened. "Within the next few years thousands of automobiles will be imported into China. Already a highway is under construction between Teinsin and Pekin, capital. "Chinese officialdom, for financial reasons, is dealing with Japan, but the business men among the Chi-neso are antagonastic to Japan's business advances. This Is helped by the boycott declared by the young China element.

It was reported a short time before my departure from Shanghai that moret than a half million dollars' worth of Japanese goods were 'burned by the young Chinese in me interior or that country. The young Chinese movement may keep the Japanese from getting a com- ineseial foothold in Japan." 1 MOYK8 OFFICKS. Horticultural Commissioner It. M.

for some years member of the I.ogan-Cowart Company of this city, real estate oper- ators, has returned from a trip of some weeks through the Middle West and South and has finally decided to re-locate In Oakland and open independent offices in the Syndicate building. After leaving the firm with which he had been connected Cowart took an extensive trip through most of the growing cities the West and Middle West, in ludinz the cities of Southern Call- ornia, Denver and the Rocky moun- Main region, tho Mississippi valley and the Northwest. "After looking at the prospects of every citv carefully I have returned to locate in Oakland as the one with the best future." said Cowart.

OAKLAND HAS FUTURE An experiment in industrial shop organization is being tried by the Standard Gas Krgine Company 'of Kast Oakland, of which George W. Emmons of Alameda is the president.

The basis of this organization is set out in a written constitution, to which all of the employees and the stockholders of the company have subscribed their signatures. These signatures make fourteen pages of a little pamphlet that hns been Issued descriptive of the plan. This basis of organization consists of three separate bodies organized from within the plant. There is a council of the employees, which Is el lectlve by the whole membership employees by secret ballot, and 'hlch takes up all individual com plaints for preliminary consideration and reference to the proper depart ment or Individual. This body la comparable to the Houce of Representatives of Congress.

There Is then a senior council, somewhat like the United States Senate, created by appointment from the body of em ployees, to which all matters are referred if they cannot be adjusted by the junior council. There is al ways appeal beyond this to the Kx-ecutlve Council, composed of the board of directors and officials of the company, but tho experiment hwin been that few complaints get be yond the senior council, so that prac tically all complaints are adjusted i by the The preamble to the constitution, which was adopted at a general meeting of the employees of the plant, 1 We, the cmployeesoand officials of the company, in order to better working conditions, do proclaim eur belief In and adherence to the following principles: Americanism, Justice, co-operation, economy, energy, service. 2 Americanism, in all that the word implies, shall be a necessary qualification for all members of this organization. 3 Justice, in the' widest sense, shall be the basis of all our dealings, whether among ourselves Individually or as an industrial organization dealing with Its Individual members, or with those a. st Oakland.

The most serious impediment to the normal and logical expansion of the business area exists in the lack of erosstown thoroughfares above Fourteenth street. This impediment the committee has attempted to solve by the proposal It has made for the opening of Fifteenth street and Seventeenth street.

9 1 Rediscount Notes The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco issjes the following: Very few banks have yet adopted the practice of requiring customers to discount notes that is to say, to pay Interest to maturity in advance. Banks which are re-discounting heavily are occasioned ielay in the preparation of applications for rediscount by reason of the necessity for computing Interest to maturity on each note offered. Delay Is involved also in the preparation of the notes before credit can be given by the Federal Ueserve Bank. Therefore, we have decided to adopt, temporarily, the practice of discounting notes at their face value, excepting those notes which are payable elsewhere than ill the town in which the redincounting. bank Is situated, such practice to begin on February 1.

1H21. While we fully appreciate that this is not the correct method ot rediscount ing notes, we feel that it will be of great assistance to our rediscounting member banks until such time as they can develop the practice of requiring from their customers the payment of Interest to maturity at the lime loans are granted. Curtain Store Has Stock Holding Plan The Curtain Store of this city has worked out and put into operation a plan whereby its employees can become stockholders and sharers in the profits of the institution, to the entire satisfaction of both the management and the employees. Starting with the lirst of the year cooperative plan went into effect, which ill not only give JOHK t. MAUERHAN every emnloyee a legitimate share in the profits of com patty, but provides a plan whereby they may also become shareholders and thus share in hotti the workers' and stockholders- profits.

At the end of the present iinanci.il year the profits of the company will be divided Into two equal halves, one of which will be distributed among the employees on a pro-rata basis, depending upon the salary earned, and the other half will go to the stockholders of the company. John Mauerhan. the president and manager of the company, who responsible for the plan, states that one of the results he anticipates wiil be the added Interest In the hnslnesa of all emDlOvees. and a con- increase in the service to customers.
