MEETING CUTS AND DRIES
EVERYTHING FOR VOTERS
There were quite a few journeyed
to the Eagle Hall to discover what
kind of frame-up had been planned
for the enlightment, protection, ele
vation and salvation of Nome by
mixers who had been busy as an
eight winged honey-bee getting the
stuff together for the citizens to
swallow.
On schedule time Ed Darling as
temporary chairman announced the
apparent purpose of the meeting:
namely to nominate a ticket for the

Ed Horan, Fred Anderson and
John Ellis were working in a Port
land shipyard last February. Her
man Sandstrom, a brother of John
Sandstrom who was killed at Port
Safety two years ago. was foreman
there. Ed Horan writing to friends
in Nome says that they are building
a lot of ships along the coast. The
weather along the coast was excep
tional fine. There was beginning
to be again a marked revival of the
lumber industry and many timber
deals were effected recently.

MANAGERS ASSERT DECISION
ENABLES STOPPAGE STRIKES
NEW YORK, March 20.—It is
now realized that the Adamson law
is constitutional as an emergency
measure, the vote being five to four.
Managers assert that the decision
no matter how it may be interpreted
certainly assures to the government
the right to prevent strikes.
A rider to the decision instructs
the railroads to compute back pay
for overtime at the rale of time and
half since January 1.
The brotherhood men claim that
the decision is a great victory for
them and that the claims of the
from Fort Yukon to Fairbanks or
the Koyukuk. He was at that time
working as a trapper. He is 34
years old, short, heavy, blond, with
blue eyes.
All kinds of reports as to war and
war measure were on the street
yesterday. One of these said that
there was great probability of the
Alaska telegraph, wireless and cable
system being closed to all but mili
tary dispatches. Needless to say
that there is no basis for this r-port
whatever. About a dozen times it
was reported that the United States
had declared war on Germany—this
in spite of the fact that Congress
. was not in session.

managers are unwarranted in any
particular.
The railroads will certainly
acquiesce..
LES DARCY WANTS
BIG PURSE
SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.—
Les Darcy the much chased around
pugilist who was prevented fighting
Dillon in New York by the gover
nor's order and in Colorado by a
special anti-boxing bill rushed
through the legislature, is at any
rate no piker. The fans and pro
moters have arranged to pull the
fight oft' in Tiajuana in Mexico, but
now Les Darcy wants forty thousand
placed in his manager's hand before
he enters the ring. He says he will
not take chances of being dusted
down while he is left behind in
Mexico. There will probably be no
fight.
