WASHINGTON, D. C„ Sept. 20,
—Edward F. McGrady, assistant
secretary of labor, said he plan
ned to fly to San Francisco as
soon as he could make plane re
servations, to offer his services
in an effort to settle the Pacific
Coast Maritime dispute.
“The situation is very grave,
and the deadline is coming aw
fully fast,” he said, when ques
tioned as to his opinion.
“Since congress has ests dish
ed a maritime commission to deal
with such emergencies, it would
be only courtesy on the part of
both sides, to give the commis
sion an opportunity to investi
gate the situation,” he said.
“I haven’t yet contacted the
commissioners, but I hope to do
so before leaving for San Fran
cisco. The factions appeared
deadlocked over the hiring halls,
wmcn was me Key issue m me
1994 strike,” he declared.
A union spokesman said they
would not arbitrate the hiring
hall matter with the employers,
and announced they would tem
! porarily abandon using the halls
; after next Wednesday.
Labor Department conciliators
E. P. Marsh and E. H. Fitzgerald
appealed to both sides to "co
operate in preventing a stoppage
I of work and commerce October
! 1st.”
Employers’ spokesmen said the
employers were not seeking to
“eliminate properly conducted hir
ing halls, and that as soon as
neutral persons are placed in
charge of the halls, they can and
should be reopened.”

Gold Shipment
Twice As Heavy
Was Reported
Yesterday it was reported that
about $366,000 in gold bullion
was sent out on the steamer Mt.
McKinley. That much was cor
rect all right, but what was not
reported until after the vessel
sailed, was that there was about
$340,000 more in gold bullion ship
ped than was at first reported.
Therefore, the total amount of
gold bullion which was probably
shipped aboard the Alaska Line
vessel was in excess of $700,000,
.00, according to all available re
ports.
As has been said before it is
extremely difficult to ascertain
the amounts of gold bullion being
sent out aboard steamers when
they sail from Nome due to re
strictions of publicity by the in
surance and express companies.
The amount set yesterday was all
that could be determined when
the paper went to press. It was
believed at the time that it was
probably only about one-half the
amount enroute to the states, but
it was not until today that it was
possible to check all sources pos
sible, and the amount is really in
excess of $700,000.00. Not so
bad for one steamer to take,when
it is known that airplanes and
ft steamers have been taking out
I
shipments every month. It speaks
iwell for Nome and its outlying
mining sections, and is evidence
that this section of Alaska is on
the up and up development pro
gram.

For Nome School
Keen Sent For
Registration in grammar school
and high school grades at Nome
when school started this week
numbered abuut 141 pupils and
students together
Superintendent Pool announc
ed that the grammar grades have
an enrollment of about 101, while
there are about forty registered
in high school, with the possibili
ty that after navigation closes
considerable more students will
have come to Nome for schooling.
It was announced today by the
School' Board that it had wired
the States to send in one more
teacher for the Nome school.This
was brought about by referring
to the budget prepared for this
year and discovering that allow
ances had been made for eight
teachers including the superin
tendent. There are only seven
in Nome at present. Of particu
lar importance in deciding to en
gage the services of another tea
cher was the enrollment of pupils
in the first and second grades—
numbering 34 for the two grades.
This number was far in advance
of any other group of grades and
was about twice the load for Miss
Bonstrom the primary teacher.
It was decided to have another
teacher to take care of the sec
