NOME, ALASKA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1010.
NO. 2000.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24—The State
Supreme Court has issued an injunc
tion against the officers of the Gar
ment Cutt6i;s union calling out em
ployees, even thdugh members, who
are working on contracts. The or
der also forbids all violence or at
tempted violence, intimidation or in
terference with any non-unionists.
Mayor Mitchel says that in the
event of the general strike being
called he will have the militia in
the city with martial law. The lead
ers are incensed by this threat, but
declare that the military are now
dominating the government and it is
what one can expect.
Men who do not respond to the
general strike call on next Wednes
day are to be considered traitors
say the leaders.
It is hoped that the injunction
granted, says the New Tork press
favorable to the traction interests,
will have a wide effect, but the un
ionists have responded by fining all
members who attempt to ride, or
are caught riding on street cars, i
r.
The evident intention of the leaders
to persist in their strike is causing
very considerable apprehension. All
the conciliators have disappeared
as if by magic, when the matter
took on so definite an appearance of
struggle. It is estimated that close
to a million unionists or non-union*
ists will be out on Wednesday and
that all industrial actittty ,„will be
suspended.

raid.
LONDON, Sept. 24.—The new
armored auto which is causing such
terrific results among the Germans
on the MP'<- fronij is the subject of
a special protest to the Red Cross
Society. The German War Office
protests that the now type of tank
cars which are being used by the
British are wholly unfit for modern
civilized warfare. The cars are gett
ing to be dreaded along the Somme
front and their approach is suffici
ent to cause a dispersion of the
enemy. Their sweep of death deal
ing instruments is very effective and
no entanglements so far have been
able to interfere with it.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.—
Warren Billings was found guilty
by the jury after a protracted ses
sion afid in the face of the almost
certainty that prevailed that the
jury at best would disagree. Bell
Lavin, the informing landlady
kissed Billings when the jury re
commended life imprisonment.
District Attorney Brennan says
that he is ready to pardon Billings
who is only a -tool if he helps to
convict Mooney and others.
Billings answer to this Js “Why
not hang me if I am guilty; if in
nocent why try to obtain a convic
tion in order that I may aid in con
victing other men who are inno
cent”.
Billings declares that the verdict
is ridculous and shows that the
jurors were afraid to bring in any
other verdict. He says that if he is
guilty enough to convict he should
hang and the recommendation to
life imprisonment is only a salve
to the cowardly souls that were
hounded to convict by reason of the
outrageous press formed public opi
nion.
An appeal is probable. Counsel
M’Nutt is evidently much perturbed
over the conviction. The evidence
against Billings was badly broken
down, but the jury evidently had
made up its mind prematurely.
The papers here are gloating over
the conviction although here and
there is an uncertain note.

WILSON TALKS CROWDS
OPON NEW EFFICIENCY
SHADOW LAWN, Sept. 23.—Pre
sident Wilson spoke to crowds to
day upon the new era which has ar
rived among us. His talk was upon
efficiency and says that the new era
must consider labor, and that the
relationship between employers and
employees must be in the form of
co-operation between the two inse
parable factors of commerce and in
•"dUst?y?** ~ Labor, Wilson declared,
was not'a commodity.
There has been too much lawyer
guidance in this country according
to Wilson, and we must for the fu
ture get away from the jargon and
bloodless methods of the text-book
conception of the human family, ana
return to realize that laboring men
were flesh and blood.
Discussing the eight hour prin
ciple, he said that it was ‘not arbit
rable. Both sides showed an un
yielding prejudice and neither side
could yield their position.
He never mentioned Hughes in a
two hour talk.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 24.—Chas
Evans Hughes received quite an
enthusiastic reception from thou
sands here. He was somewhat
hoarse but spoke for some time de
nouncing Wilson. He said that the
rousing welcome showed that repub
licanism was wanted and it was real
ized that Wilson’s government was a
menace to prosperity. He left the
impression of being in a peevish
humor.

stricken.
BUCHAREST, Sept. 24.—The Ger

GREEK COMMUNICATION IS
NOW COMPLETELY CLOSED
LONDON, Sept. 24.—The Dally
Mail’s Athens correspondent has
notified that paper that all commu
nications are subject to censorship
and heavy delay, so no communica
tions may be expected tor some time
unless through official channels.
LONDON, Sept. 24.—As the gov
ernment is allowing no Greek dis
patches to come through, there is
an absolute ignorance of the situa
tion in Greece which according to
last ^accounts was grave beyond any
thing that heretofore had been re
ported and a revolution was in pro
gress.
None of these alarmist telegrams
owing to the censorship are con
firmed nor are they denied.
