The railroads have begun another
move to off-set the Adamson bill.
This is ostensibly beginning from
the ranks of the railroad employees,
that is those who like the trackmen,
LOCAL ITEMS.
Local socialists are making ar
rangements to forward the cam
paign of Lena Morrow Lewis. Ad
vices from the First Division indi
cate that many voters disgusted
with methods of both the Wicker
shamites and the Sulzerites, will
give a big supper to Lena Morrow
Lewis. A newspaper man named
Duflield says that he would not be
surprised if Mrs. Lewis carried An
chorage over Wickersham and Sul
zer as the socialists have a very
strong organization in that section.
Locally in Nome a large number
who would not walk across the
street to vote for men like Wick or
Sulzer will roll up a good sized vote
for Mrs. Lewis.

compelled to reduce the wages ot

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 24.— !
The statement is made that no rail- >
road employee belonging to a labor
organization will sign the anti

sets forth that unless an increase
in revenue is provided, existing cir
cumstances will compel the railroad
companies to reduce wages of em
ployees not included in the Adamson
bill, when the later law is enforced
becase it will mean an extensive
inroad on the expenses of opera

NOME PICTURE AT DREAM.
Tonight the Dream will present a
picture of local attraction, showing
“Scotty” Allan during the world’s
greatest dog team, 110 dogs. It
shows popular "Scotty’ hitching up
with the assistance of some of
Nome’s fair maidens, and Lieut.
Haas, driving to the dock, scenes
on shipboard, and landing them in
Seattle. The photography is marvel

easily recognized. The balance of
the show will be “The Love Route’*

ALLIES SUFFER HUGE
LOSSES ON SOMME
BERLIN, Oct. 24.—The Allies
are sacrificing men enormously in
their attempt to break the German
lines on the west.
Today they suffered a sarguinarj
defeat north of the Somme and west
of Transyly where the dead were
piled high in an effort to break
through the deadly cordon of Ger
man entanglements and machine
gun fire. The losses must be enorm
ous.
BERLIN, Oct. 24.—The French
who were preparing to advance be
yond Ablaincourt and Cliaulnes were
crushingly defeated by the German
artillery which smashed the French
efforts almost before they had be
gun. The French were shrapnelled
by an terrific rain of fire and the
regiments had to break in disorder
just when waiting the word to ad
vance. •
BERLIN, Oct. 24.—The French
artillery is very active today for
some reason in the Verdun sector.
East of the Meuse all day they have
been throwing a heavy fire against
the German defenses.
BERLIN, Oct. 24.—The official
report of the fighting on both fronts
says that the Rumanians are yield
ing in confusion before Mackenzen's
wonderful drive. Falkenhayn is ac
tive and winning along the entire
western Rumanian border and its
collapse is a certainty. The decisive
Teuton victory is greatly impress
ing Greece and the Allies cannot
get the Greek government to take
any action.
On the west the Entente powers
are sustaining terrific losses all the
time with very little gains.

SERVIANS ALONE MAKING
PROGRESS IN MACEDONIA
PARIS, Oct. 24.—Along the Struma
front the British are inactive. On
the Macedonian center, the French
and Russians are also relatively
quiet, and the fighting alone which
is being carried on is by the Mona
sti • Serbs who are still adding to
their laurels. They successfully cap
tured the Bulgar and German
trenches before Monastir to the
depth of half a mile and took eight
hundred prisoners.
PARIS, Oct. 24.—The work of the
Servian artillery in the Macedonian
fighting is well nigh perfect, they
today heavily repulsed several
counter attacks by the Bulgars and
Germans with the use of artillery
alone.
ATHENS, Oct. 24.—The victory
of Mackenzen over the Rumanians
and Russians is making Constan
tine’s neutrality policy in high favor
here. The Greeks are even now con
sidering the advisability of pro
claiming an alliance with the Cen
tral Powers.
It is clear that such would long
ago have been adopted were it not
for the presence of the Entente
ships so close to the capital.
LONDON, Oct. 24.—Hardly a
single cheerful line of war news has
been given out now for thirty six
hours and the fate of Rumanian is
regarded as sealed unless the mira
culous happens. It is not believed
to be possible that the Russians
or Rumanians can stem the tide of
German victory in Dobrudja. The
deadlock in the west is also dis
couraging.
HUGHES STILL FAVORITE
IN CHICAGO SPECULATIONS
CHICAGO, Oct. 24.—Governed
Hughes is still the favorite in the
betting here with all the money
needed available to cover the enthu
siastic Wilsonian sports. Last week
the betting was two to one on
Hughes, but today the betting drop
LOCAL ITEMS.
The cabaret promoters are busy
putting the finishing touches to
their program of events and if some
laugh making stunts are not pulled
off it will not be their fault. Some
attractive novelties in the Vaude
ville world are to be pulled off
which will prove laugh provokers
of high merit. All fun is to be the
slogan of the gathering at the big
event and a bumper crowd is as
sured.

Alarmist reports were in circula
tion yesterday in Nome when the
storm was at its height that advices
had been received from St. Paul is
land that a veritable tidal wave was
sweeping that section and proceed
ing northward. The report carriers
averred that these advices were
most alarming, and grim were the
forebodings when the force of this
storm would be felt in Nome. It was
to make the 1913 storm look like
thirty cents. The news had half the
people on the south side of Front
street in a reasonable degree of
scare, and its authenticity was not
doubted. No confirmation of the
story was received by this paper,
and when in the, evening the heavy
gale from the southward which
raged all day yesterday swung to
the northwest, it was seen that no
real danger could be apprehended
from high water. Notwithstanding
the wind, the water yesterday was
never very high. The rain that fell
was one of the worst such storms
of the year, and arrivals from the
creeks said that trails are in a ter
led to seven to five on Hughes.
Hughes money is much more plen
tiful than Wilson’s.
PORTLAND, Oct. 24.—Gifford
Pinchot is going to San Francisco
to champion Governor Hughes. The
campaign committee lias secured
Pinchot to off-set Francis E. Heney.
Pinchot charges that Franklin K.
Lane under Wilson has practically
allowed the power trusts to loot
the national power reservations and
charges the proposed Phdlan loot
ing of oil lands despite the Navy
Department protest had Lane's offi
cial approval. Pinchot is carrying
on what is the most effective anti
Wilson campaign of all the speakers
for Hughes and his array of facts
I showing the way in which Lane lias
abandoned the conservationist poli
cy for the benefit of the privileged
trusts is most powerful. The chief
trouble with Pinchot from the de
mocratic point of view is that his
arguments are unanswerably true
in detail. Republicans regard him
as a “great find”.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24.—Stato
Supreme Court Justice Ford, who
has been a life long republican to
day announced his desertion of the
G. O. P. faith and the conversion to
democracy. He says every sentiment
of civic righteousness and patriotic
Americanism compel him to support
President Wilson for re-election and
he will surely do so.
BORDEN APPEALS FOR
ROADS POSTPONE ACTION
WINNIPEG, Oct. 24.—Because the
brotherhoods want a similar work
ing agreement to that of the Adam
son bill of the United States on the
Canadian railroads, and because the
rifle condition being literally mud
holes. All hauling to the creeks of
heavy loads is only accomplished
with very great difficulty, and most
miners are awaiting an abatement
of the soft weather and return of
Jack Frost, unusually slow in com
ing this open fall, before getting
their supplies hauled to the ground
where they will work this winter.
The weather has delayed winter
preparations about three weeks
while the premature frost of some
time ago is preventing active open
mining, as all took it for granted
that it was the freeze-up had ar
rived.
Canadian roads have refused to
grant the concession to all the
brotherhoods, a strike is scheduled
for tomorrow. This strike is to
tie up the coast to coast operations..
Premier Borden has appealed to
Parliament to take a hand in sett
ling the case and also has asked
the brotherhoods to postpone action.
In other circles, railroad inspired
articles urge the government to
proclaim martial law, so that muni
tion supplies may not be affected
and the trainmen all of them con
scripted. As a good many of these
are American citizens, this will be
a nasty question.
