A POLET
TO FIGHT EPIDEMIC
SPANISH INFLUENZA
WASHINGTON,—So serious are
the ravages of the Spanish influenza
epidemic that the House passed the
joint resolution whereby an appro
priation of one million dollars is made
to fight the insidious malady.
The epidemic is no less serious
from its own dread ravages, but its
after effects are even more dangerous.
WASHINGTON,—'This afternoon the
Senate passed the appropriation to
fight the Spanish influenza epidemic.
NEGRO LABOR PROTESTS
AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
NEW YORK,—Charges of dis
crimination on the part of the Navy
Department against Negroes are made
in a letter sent to Secretary Daniels
hy John R. Shilladay, secretary of
the National Association for the ad
vancement of Colored People. Mr
Shilladay cites the instance of two
young Negro women, graduates of
.high and normal schools, who at
tempted to enroll for service as clerks
or messengers in the United States
naval forces, but were told that no
Negroes might enroll. Referring to
the announcement that the navy was
offering opportunities to women with
out previous clerical or office experi
ence, he says:
“If it is the intention of the depart
ment to restrict employment to white
women, an intention against which
we would feel bound to protest in
the name of our common citizenship,
we would most respectfully suggest
that when public announcements are
made by the Navy Department of po
sitions from which colored people are
excluded, it be specifically stated that
these positions are open to white
people only, and thus save self-re
specting colored people from needless
humiliation.”
CLASSIFY LABOR FOR
ALL WARlilNDUSTRIES
ST. LOUIS—A recent United States
Labor Employment Bureau confer
ence here reported on plans for reg
istration of men and women between
18 and 50, to determine their em
ployment, training and fitness for
national war work. It was proposed
that in order to keep transient labor
more stationary, a card clearance sys
tem be used; whereby each man be
given a card. The laborer, when ask
ing for work, would be asked to show
his card and his record and clearance
papers indicating that he left his
last place of employment on govern
ment or essential work for good reas
ons.
The conference was called to make
plans for handling skilled and un
skilled labor as soon as the govern
ment bureaux take over the employ
ment of labor. It was attended by
employers and labor agents from
Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky and
Tennessee.

The Hed-Strand mine management
is seeking to raise enough capital tt>
extend the tunnel to the ore shute
crossing the creek at the Fork. The
ore chute carries gold contents and
the intention is to extract ore and
make shipments to the Outside. An
interview with Martin Strand reveal
ed the fact that an offer had been re
ceived from a Los Angeles smelter
to pay 70 percent of the ore values
to the bank at Nome, the ore to be
subject to their order and delivered
them in Nome. Mr Strand points
out that this ore is a war necessity
and citizens subscribing towards the
company stock will he states be do
ing their bit towards helping out the
nation, developing Alaska and open
ing a mine for themselves of assured
values. They have fine prospects west
of their present workings which will
have to be treated at the mine when
more capital is in sight and they peed
therefore more money to carry on the
work. Shares in the company are to
be secured at Rowe’s office.
The Cordova arrived from Kotze
bue Sound and way points early this
morning and work on the steamer
began immediately upon its arrival.
Paul Primar who discovered pay on
Lynx creek in the upper Kobuk is an
arrival on the Cordova. Hj is sum
moned as a witness in the cas3 that
is to be investigated by the Grand
Liry. Lynx creek, the seen' ot his
mining operations, runs parallel with
California creek and indeed the lat
ter is only a mile and a half or so
from Lynx. Primar had prospected
the creek before a discovery was made
there and found ^ood prospects.
Primar was formerly mining in this
and the Council section having a pro
ductive claim on Albion creek in years
gone by when Fred Stahl and he ac
quired some ground there from Frank
Lease.
