No. 320 TENTH YEAR
PRICE 10 CENTS
(United Pres? Telegraph-Cable Service.) ^
Fairbanks, Feb. 13. ? Martial law was declared here by
Marshal Perry today. The marshal was moved to this step
by reports that have cpme to him of the plans of the strik
ers and leaders of the Western Federation of miners.
Signs of impending trouble have been evident throughout
the creaks and ominous reports have followed one another
into the marshal's office.
The recent appointment of new deputies has served to
check the assaults upon the stages as they come in but ,
that preparations are being made for more effective at- (
tempts to meet the strike breakers that have been coining
in by scores is certain.
Mine owners have made demands upon the marshal for
protection uutil he has felt the situation to call for ex
traordinary measures. Accordingly he has been busy for
days in selecting trustworthy deputies and yesterday he
swore in two hundred and fifty men. This morning lie
declared martial law. All the sdoous are closed; deputy
marshals swarm the country over and there is no sign but
that of peace.
Opinions are divided in this city as to the necessity for 1
resort to this extreme measure. Some believe the step to a
be a wise one and necessary to prevent bloodshed, but many e
others think the situation does not warrant it..
