gestions that ships be loaded for:
Alaska at Tacoma, as that would j
not help towards a settlement of !
the strike. The .costs of trans- |
ferrlng of goods from here to .
Tacoma would make the prices too j
high when the goods reach Alaska.
He alifo said that the govern- j
ment plans for chartering ships 1
. for Al&ska have not yet been com- j
pleted.
Two trains moved onto piers |
here to unload. Shippers said !
this broke the waterfront block- i

A wire received today from the
Associated Press ip Seattle, ask
ed The Nugget to furnish them
with the “price of ham and other
information pertinent to the aff
ects of the strike in Nome and
surtoumUng ^sections. Whether
gold'¥frSi'*priceH were being charg
ed because of demand and scar
city of supply.’’
The Nugget wired the Associat
ed Press, explaining that the bus
iness people had not taken the un
just attitude of boosting tbe pric
es because of tbe great demand.
Our situation here was, and still
Is, that an actual shortage of
food and supplies existed which it
was extremely necessary to be re
lieved. At present the food short
age has been relieved by the ar
rival of the first boats. What is
Just as important though, is the
lack of mining machinery which
would naturally be coming into
Nome tor individual and company
operators.
If the strike continues and boat*

Bering Sea and Arctic points, do
not get away on time, the so&pon

that they will not, he able to make
their "grub-stake" by fall to crtrry
them through the winter,
This is a grave situation at this j
time. The country is or the up- |
grade with a steady improvement j
already in sight. To have this
strike affect an entire industry es
pecially in Nome and the Seward
Peninsula section, in 11rs 1 manner,
means holding the country back
that much more.
A marked improvement in gold
mining has rejuvenated Nome and
the entire Territory of Alaska.. It
has been hard during the depres
sion days and now that it is poss
ible to develop (he country thru I
mining and other industries, we j
do not like to see this strike con
tinue any longer, with it* devast
ating consequences to j. this sec
tion.
Such was the subject of a press
telegram sent lo the Associated
Press. Another matter which It
was neceasary to acquiant them
with, was that we must have sev
eral ships of supplies before win
ter sets In. It Is Impossible to
overlook the danger which would
result ot^that one item w-as not
made known.
However, according to today’s
news, it looks like we will soon
be having ships sailing for Nome
again.
