CONDITIONS IN INTERIOR
CAUSE OF APPREHENSION
(Continued from I’age One)
fie control over (hem. Appearances
indicate that something in the nature
of a reign of terror exists in the lit
tle gold camp, and unless strong meas-1
ures are taken there is likely to he [
bloodshed.
Little Work for Foreigner*
Hecause of the fact that mining op-1
orations in the Interior are of more
limited scope each year, work is not |
as plentiful as it used to be, and!
since the war began, the operators, in
deference to public opinion, have given
the preference to American labor
The result is that large numbers of
the foreign element are unemployed.'
and consequently very restless. There!
have been numerous petty robberies,
and threats of violence have been fre
quent.
Riley Received Warnings
II is stated that for some time prior
to the murder of liiley he had re-'
reived frequent letters of a threaten-1
ing nature, but he paid but little at
tention to them The man who did the
killing, a .Montenegrin named Cigura, j
had previously upbraided liiley for not
employing his compatriots. He had
also greatly annoyed the manager of
the Yukon Gold Company. Ml Turner,
with demands for explanations as to
why his countrymen were discrimin
ated against in the matter of employ
ment. The assertion is made that the
foreigners were encouraged to a cer
tain extent by an official of the gov
ernment who had been a wAJactor,
and had failed for a large sum of
money, leaving unpaid the wages of
his laborers, who were of this for
eign element Through the advice of
this official the demands of the for
eigners for employment were supple
mented with the assertion that as the
nations to which they owed allegiance
were allies of the I’nited States, and
engaged in the war against the Ger
mans. they were as much entitled to
recognition as the native Americans
or subjects of other foreign countries.
So insistent were they that they were
ejected from the office of the com
pany.
Excuse Given for Crime
On the day that Riley was killed
the Montenegrin had called on the
mining man. who was at work In the
boiler house at his dredge, to discuss
a dispute with regard to payment on
a wood contract, it was said. He de
mantled that Riley recognize him asj
the owner of the wood, to the ex
( lusion of his partners. Riley informed;
him it was a matted over which he
had no control, and referred him to
th*• courts The actual killing was not
observed l»\ eye-witnesses, men who
were in the boiler room immediately!
prior to the shooting having been com
pellet! to attend to their labor, in an
other part of the works. Riley was shot
volver. an dany one of the wounds
would have caused death, according to
the report of the physician.
Real Cause Probably Veiled
Hut the real cause of the shoot |
Ing is said to have been the matter of
alleged discrimination in the giving
oilt of employment, and there seems
to he a general opinion prevalent that
the crime was the result of a con
spiracy among the foreign element.
’Igura seemed to he the spokesman
for the malcontents, and ns showing,
hat the- crime did not create the hor
'or among them that would naturally
irlst* among law nbidding persons, it
s stated that immediately after the
irrest of the murderer the aceumula
ion of an immense fund for his de
ense was begun In spite of the fact
hat many of these foreign laborers
lad had no regular employment for
many months, it is said that several
housands of dollars have been raised
'or the employment of legal talent
ind to fight for his acquittal. A pb a
if selfdefense was to be entered.
A Serious Situation
The Yukon Hold Company, the larg ,
'st employer of labor in the Iditarod.
expects to complete Its operations n
hat section this fall. Riley's affairs;
were much involved, and there is a
possibility that the workings may be
dosed down. Other operators In the
list riot have closed their workings for
this year on account of the high cost
if supplies As a consequence there,
is very little food being shipped into|
the district this year, and as there
ire the usual number of men looking
for employment, these men must
dther leave the district or there is j
bound to he destitution among themi
luring the coming winter
Operators Responsible
The presence of large numbers of
’oreign laborers in the district is due
largely to the methods employed by
he operators themselves. It had been
•ustomary for several years for the
iperators, on their annual pilgrimage
o the Outside at the completion of
he season's work, to encourage for
*ign workmen to go to the Interior,
md as their arrival usually meant the
iisplacement of American labor, an
insatisfactory feeling prevailed. When
tin* war came nil. and lli“s« foreigners
were found fo !*«■ little interested in
the cause of tin* I'nited States against
fh*1 (let man autocracy, and in nuinrr
ous instances decidedly hostile to the
cause of America and her allies, thv
feeling grew that the foreign element
should at least not be given the pref
erenre in the giving out of employ
men!, and hence the rather serious
situation that has arisen
According to men recently from the
Interior, much alarm is felt over tin
conditions in the Iditarod. and it would
not occasion much surprise if serious
disturbances resulted
