INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1. — The
United Mine Workers of the United
States, in their convention today de
bated at length the proposition of
denying membership in the subordin
ate unions to all mine workers who
were enrolled in the various state
militias, or who were ou the rosters
of the state constabularies. The pro
position was defeated, although it re
ceived a large supporting vote. The
leading members of the union were
nearly all opposed to the proposition,
basing their stand on the broad
ground of patriotism, and during the
course of the debate frequent men
tion was made of President Wilson’s
stand for preparedness.

LONDON, Feb. 1. — Sir \ If red
blond's bill for a moratorium of rent
for men entering the army, which
would prevent landlords not only from
raising rents ou soldiers’ dependents,
but from ousting them for arrears in
payment, is now under the considera
tion of the war office. France passed
such legislation on the outbreak of
the war, as a matter of course. But
England, as a volunteer country, has
not until lately considered such a
measure necessary. The general opin
ion is that the domestic situation is
such that passage of the measure can
not he long deferred.

GIVEN WILSON
_
DAVENPORT, Iowa, Feb. 1. — The
President arrived here this evening ,
on his special train, coming from Mil ,
waukee. He was greeted at the sta-j ,
tion by fifteen thousand people, who
cheered him to the echo, and called
for a speech. Wilson smilingly de
clined to address the people at the ,
station. When the President's special
rolled in it was greeted by a salute
of twenty-one guns from a battery
mounted in the park near the depot. ,
It was learned that Wilson had made
no addresses in the Illinois towns
where he was scheduled, and that be
had made no speeches so far from the
platform of his car. He will
talk here tonight.
The past few weeks have witnessed
i phenomenal Increase in the price
>f the stocks of the two big steam
ihlp companies serving southwestern
Vlaska, and knowing ones are holding
or still further increases.
The share - of the Alaska Steamship
'ompany are now quoted at $105 per
share, and many have disposed of
heir holdings. Other stockholders
ieiieve that the shares are due for
i rapid increase in value, and are
tolding in anticipation of receiving
1125 per share.
The rapid increase in the value of
he storks of the company are due in
tart to the prediction that the com
jany will declare a dividend of six
tundred thousand dollars at the com
ng annual meeting, and to the fact
hat the business outlook for the
joining year is exceedingly bright.
The two big freighters which were
•eeently purchased by the Alaska
Steamship Company on the Atlantic?
toast, and which have been christen
■d the Valdez and Juneau, are expect
■d to earn twenty-five per cent of
heir value within six months after
hey enter the Alaska service. The
ifficials of the ocmpany say that
living to me snoruige ui vessels un
he Atlantic coast tliat the freighters
■ould be immediately resold at a fig
tre which would net ;i handsome re
urn. The company has been offered
ill advance of twenty live per cent
in the price paid for the steamers two
nonths ago, hut have declined the
ift'er, as the vessels are required for
he Alaska business.
The Pacific Alaska Navigation Coni
inny’s Admiral line has also enjoyed
i prosperous year, and the price of
thares of the company have
limped from $75 to $90 within three
veeks. No announcement as to a pro
iable dividend being declared at the
iiinual meeting has been made, but
t is believed that it will not he
rnssed.
The officials at Seattle say their
iteamer, the Admiral Watson. wTiieli
vns rammed and sunk last fall, will
>e back in the service early in March,
ind that three passenger steamers
vill give southwestern Alaskan ports
i weekly service, the vessels leaving
Seattle each Sunday morning.
Two large steamers, both of which
tave enormous freight carrying capa
ity. were purchased by the company
ast fail and will reach Juget Sound
■arly In March from the Atlantic,
rhey are now at New York, where
hey are undergoing alterations and
mprovements, which will make them
ipecially adapted for handling ore
hipments from the Alaska mines,
rile freighters have been renamed the
tdmiral Clark and the Admiral So
iree.
The officials of both companies
igree that the outlook for business in
he north is exceptionally bright, and
tate that they are prepared to aid In
very way to hasten the development
if the territory.
