LYNN, Mass, July 15—Ten thous
and employees of the General Elec
tric Co’s plant at this place, in
cluding skilled and non-skilled work
ers walked out on strike today.
They make the demand that the
company pay the same.wages as the
^employees of other plants of the
same concern receive thruout the
•ountry.
The employees contend that their
scale of wages is considerably lower
than that paid in other plants for
the same work and they cite con
ditions especially, in Schenectady
where after a strike a considerable
increase and far higher th^n is
paid, here, was granted to all,.classes
of workers., .—
The company claims that they are
engaged in war material and that
for that reason the strike should not
have taker, place. Tho employees
declare that the strike would not
have taken place had the company
paid any attention to the demands
of the employees and granted an
adjustment of the bc&Ic.
The War labor Adjustment Board
will probably take a hand in the
settlement of this dispute and in
conformity with the policy of the
Department of Labor, a uniform rate
for the same class of work will be
established thruout the country.
HOUSE WEARIES AND
WILL TAKE RECESSES
WASHINGTON, D. C. July 16—
The warm cummer days and sun
chine is having an enervating effect
upon the House* of representatives
. the members of which find their
duties especially oneous in the hot
weather.
They have therefore agreed to
adjourn in a series of three day
recesses until August 18 when they
will again resume the normal course
of their duties.
It is taken that these recesses
will not seriously hamper the legis
lative work which Is still pretty
considerable, especially over the
much talked of revenue bill.
ASK ENGLAND WITHDRAW
TROOPS FROM MVRMAN
AMSTERDAM, July 16—A dis
patch from German sources, says
that the Bolsheviki government has
requested Great. Britian to withdraw
its troops from the Murman coast.
LONDON, July 16—Officials do not
confirm, the report that Great Uri*
tain has been asked to withdraw
troops from the Murman coast. The
landing of troops there was first
made at the express request of the
Archangle Soviets.

WASHINGTON. D. C. July 16—
! It is learned here for the frist time
that both. American and British
troops have boon on the Murman
coast ofRussia for a considerable
time. ;
WILL TAKE DORA
OFF MAIL ROUTE
SEATTLE, July 15—It is an
nounced that the Alaska coastwiS'
boat Dora which has the mail con
tract from Valdez to Bristol Ba:
and all way points, will be with
drawn.
The reason for this is that th
government has refused to gran
a new mail contract at increase!
rates.
The increase was deemed exces
sive by the govenment inasmuch as
most of the contracts issued thru
out Alaska in almost every other
section show a falling off in the
previous price paid.
How the mail wj.ll be delivered
when the Dora is taken off is not
known.

CITY COUNCIL HOLDS
(continued from page one)
fence outside the city • limits it had
been dismissed but th y could
prosecute for failing to obey the
orders cf the Health Officer. Some
discussion took place on this sub
ject, Councilman Kricek averring
that it took him 4 7 minutes to walk
out to the designated site and that
fit was not n feasible one. Later
councilman Milot said that he would
aid Dr Neuman in staking the now
site so that the scavengers could
not complain.
Mrs. B. M. O'Connsll, who arrived
in the course of the meeting, then
became interested when the com
munication she had sent in became
the subject of discussion. Council
man Hansen stated that little could
be done without raising her house
the joists of which rested in the
ground. This Mrs O’Connell vig
orously denied.
"I have been in this country 20
years,” said Mrs O'Connell “and I
never saw such an outfit as this.”
. The Mayor endeavored to obtain
from Mrs O’Connell a statement of
exactly what she did want. Mrs
O’Connell stated that last year they
suggested that she accept another
piece of property and that she have
her house transferred there. She
went on this invitation to Clerk
Grimm and asked him where this
prooperty was situated rrd the clsrk
replied “O out on the tundra or
beyond Standard Oil.”
After further discussion and a
lively address from Mrs O’Connell
to stimulate action, the matter was
placed in the hands of a com
mittee for further investigation.
| Th? corrtmiU?© appointed to se
| ( tire information to reply to the
! queries submitted by the Public
| Service Bureau’s representative at
I Juneau had one communication;
from the Alaska Lighterage Co.
That company noted an over sup
ply of men for lighterage work and
the war activities had made little
difference in their operations from
a labor point of view. The com
mittee reported that they had also
interviewed the Miners Union and
Longshoremen’s Union officials and
they stated that they would reply
to Juneau directly. The question
of sending fac similes of the Liberty
Lean honor flag was solved in de
ciding that such a procedure wou d
be illegal. A committee was ap
pointed to draw up suitable reso
lutions on the death of Attorney
obbes. To succeed the late city
Attorney, O. D. Cochran was unani
mously chosen with a salary of $25
a month. It was ordered that $14
be allowed the Poundmaster for
cleaning up the dog pound.
The Mayor stated that to his mind
the communication from Mr. Wilson
of the Road Commission had vir
tually declined to erect the ferry
End in his opinion the commis
sion’s view of the law was correct.
It was therefore up to the city to
erect a ferry of somo kind and he
left it in the hands of the street
committee who would wait a reason
able time before taking action to
see if the Read Comm!ssio*n received
a favorable reply from the Attorney
General. Somo more routine busi
ness having been concluded tho
council adjourned.
