f STREAMS
ARE OVERLOWING
The hot weather of the past few
weeks has caused the water of the
Lowe river to overflow its banks and
do considerable damage. The old
railroad grade ni the entrance of the
Keystone canyon has been washed out
and the government road at that point
Is under water and traffic In the can
yon Is blocked for the present and
• until the construction crews cnn make
a new road around the break. Several,
of the telegraph poles of the govern
ment line have been washed away,
but a new line is being built so that
communication to Fairbanks will not
be Interrupted in case the line should
go down.—Valdez Prospector.

SAYS SQUATTERS HAVE
NO LEGAL RIGHTS
In their anxiety to get In on the
ground floor scores of squatters have
settled on the land reserved by the
government for railway terminal pur
poses at Fairbanks.
Commissioner Higgs, who is super
intending the government's railroad
activities there, has issued a warning
to squatters to keep off the land. He
says private citizens have no recog
nized rights and cannot secure title
until the land is again thrown open if
not used for railroad purposes by the
government.
It is reported that a number of
squatters linve located on the reserve
at the mouth of the Nenana, believing
that place will be the scene of the
government's greatest activities in the
interior.
STRICT CENSORSHIP
ON GERMAN PRESS
»
BERLIN, June IS.—White spaces
here and there in the columns of the
newspapers, such as appear in the
French and Austrian papers, showing
where an offending sentence or para
graph lias been chiseled out by order
of the censor, do not appear in the
German press. The explanation judg
ing by a report from Dusseldorf, is
that it is not permitted. In Dussel
dorf the police descended on the office
of the Volkeszeitung, a Socialist
organ, late on a Saturday afternoon,
and ordered that the Sunday number
should not appear. The occasion for
the action was the fact that the
Volkeszeitung had appeared the day
before with blank spaces, showing ex
cisions by the censor which had not
been filled up with permitted matter.

ENGLISH LABOR
IN WAGES
LONDON, June 16—The reason why
the workers who remain at their
places In British industries are ask
ing for war bonuses is explained by
Secretary Robert Williams of the
National Transport Workers' Federa
tion, who says that while the real
need of the workers Is to meet the
Increased cost of living, the employers
are reaping exceptionally large profits,
instead of suffering from the war.
Although 12,00ft members of the Sea
men's Union have gone to war, the
merchant ship owners are operating
to such advantage that they charge
six times the normal suniB for carry
ing freight. While 750,000 trade
unionists altogether are bearing arms
in Britain's defense, the millers have
increased their profits fourfold.
In his case against the shipowners,
Williams points out that they now
have no serious competitors in the
carrying trade of the world, and that
as a result of the elimination of Ger
man ships, the freight rates between
Argentine and British ports had
jumped from $2 and a fraction a ton
to around $17. Another instance of
profit to shipowners was that a cer
tain cargo steamer built in 1910 at a
cost of $85,000 was recently sold for
$150,000, an Increase of 76 per cent
over the original price.
While the shipowners complain of
unfair treatment by the Admiralty,
which has taken over many merchant
ships as transports, the arbitration
board which has settled disputes in
these matters consists almost entirely
of shipowners. At the time the board
was appointed, shipping prospects
looked exceedingly dull and the own
ers clamored for government service.
A rental of nine shillings, six pence
per ton gross register was decided
upon, with a discount of six pence a
ton for vessels employed for more
than one month, and another six pence
off for vessels employed more than
two months. Since then the ship
owners have demanded not only the
shilling reduction be removed but that
they be given an Increase of two shill
ings six pence over the contract scale
—or instead of losing .25 they have
asked for an Increase of .60.
