rat IN TERRITORIAL
TREASURY
The Vhird division mines that are
included in the properties of the re
cently organized Kennecott Company
and the Chiehagoff mine of the First
division, have paid their 1916 taxes
into the territorial treasury, under
the provisions of the 1915 territorial
revenue law. These companies have
already paid all taxes due under the
laws of the 1913 statute, without pro
test, and they have complied with the
1915 law in the same spirit.
The miscellaneous receipts of tho
territorial treasury since January 1
have been $148,430.08, These are
1916 taxes collected under the terri
torial revenue law of 1915. They do
not include a great sum of cannery
taxes, as these are being withheld,
pending the decision of the circuit
court of appeals on the appeal of the
cannery men from the decision of
Judge Robert W. Jennings, sustaining
the validity of the tax. It does in
clude, however. $19,000 for 190 fish
trap licenses. It also includes the
hinds received from insurance com
panies and other miscellaneous items.
There is now in the territorial
treasury more than $200,000, and this
■inn will be greatly increased if the
court of appeals upholds the validity
of the fisheries tax law.

I able l^j-ly was not received from
\\ ashfrigton before that date. Such
a sti ike would have prevented further
| transportation of supplies from end
of track to Moose creek, headquarters
for the summer's operations, which
work must be finished before trails
and roads break up. The cointnission
< r gave assurance of co-operating
with the union committee in recoin
! mending an increase in wages. In
j viting and answering questions, lie
said: "We don't run a black-list, no
j discrimination will tie shown and we
| will employ anyone who conies
| along.”
At a later meeting, after a general
debate lasting two hours, and during
which all but an insignificant minor
ity displayed an inclination to "play
fair," a resolution was adopted by a
vote of about 994 to ♦«. in substance as
follows: “That the call for a general
strike be deferred until after a hear
ing before the committee from the de
partment of labor; that work be re
sumed by the members of the union
jonly on condition that the new wage
scale date from time work is re
sumed.”
The commissioner's answer to this
j was a bulletin, announcing that work
would be resumed this morning on
he union's terms. About 200 applied
'or work, and 30 went on the steel
tang laying track In the local yards,
rhe force in all departments is to be
ncreased ns rapidly as the reorgani
sation can be perfected and weather
•onditions permit, Mr. Mears stating
hat he expected at least 400 would
ie put on within the next ten days.
The committee which is to reprc
uoit the union at the conference is to
>e composed of wage earners of dif
erent nationalities, trades and oecu
rations affected by the walkout, and
judged by the spirit pf fairness which
ms marked the organization's every
iction, the fault will not be theirs if
i speedy, permanent and satisfactory
settlement is not reached.
Immediately after the walkout Su
perintendent of Construction O'Reilly,
who isn’t a French-American diplo
mat. attempted to play some nationali
ties against others in order to fill
the vacant places, but his plan was
not an entire success. Reports of tln
foii scouts indicate that the greater
portion of the few mechanics and
others who remained ‘'on the Job,"
and of so-called teamsters who took
the vacated positions, are Austrians,
Creeks, Irlsh-Canadians and Ameri
ran-Canadians.
