CORDOVA TEAM
MISSED TREAT
AT ANCHORAGE
(From the Anchorage Times)
All bets are off on the Cordova
Anchorage baseball series. Dr. W. W.
Council, manager of the Cordova team,
cabled Jack Robarts as follows:
“Trip postponed; weather condi
tions make trip impossible in small
boat.”
It isn’t at all probable that the series
will be played this season and the
postponement will continue indefinite
ly. Anchorage fans had gone to con
siderable expense and trouble to make
the necessary arrangements for the
series, with every idea of giving Cor
dova the best in stock; both in the
Vly of social entertainment and inci
dentally a run for their money on the
baseball diamond. Scheduled games
in the triangular league were cancelled
and the three teams practically de
manded in order to perfect the “All
^tar” team which was to represent
Anchorage.
The Alaskan engineering commis
sion went to the trouble of issuing a
circular advising of the fare and one
third on the government railroad from
Seward and sent an extra coach to
Seward to better accommodate the
Cordova team and rooters. All ar
rangements had been made for a pub
lic dance, even to appointing a recep
* tion committee to introduce the vis
itors and see that they enjoyed the
hospitality of Anchorage. Plans were
arranged calling for an automobile
tour, taking in Lake Spenard, Pioneer
ranch and other local points of inter
est, including the feature trip through
the government railroad terminal
yards, inspection of the mountainous
coal pile, coal bunkers, dockage facil
ities and similar sights both instruc
tive and interesting.
Counter Sunday afternoon sport at
tractions were cancelled and Monday
afternoon was to have been a half
holiday. Local fans were on edge
waiting for the advent of the Cordova
team; but now it is not to be, to the
great disappointment of Anchorage.
Not that “our team’’ had any the best
of the series, nor was it at all certain
that Anchorage would cop the series,
but it was a sporting chance and all
Anchorage wanted the opportunity
and pleasure of entertaining Cordo
vans. It has long been the wish of the
Anchorage chamber of Commerce to
establish friendly relations with the
Copper rivver valley metropolis and
this would have been an ideal occa
sion.
Cordova made the proposition—in
fact made two propositions, both of
which were accepted. It is rather hard
to understand why Fred Tracy or
Captain Lathrop didn’t send the bunch
over on the steamer Alameda, which is
a perfectly safe steamer and has fre
quently made the trip to Anchorage,
even in the very worst Turnagain Arm
weather. Tracy and Lathrop should
have known that Anchorage would
understand the circumstances and met
the requirements.
Well, anyway, the Cordova team is
not coming and it’s too bad. for An
chorage was all set and primed. In
any event Anchorage knows she did
her part, and perhaps the pleasure of
entertaining Cordovans is only pleas
ure deferred until next year, or the
bare possibility of Labor day, which
will undoubtedly\be recognized next
month in Anchorage.
The Thlinket Packing Co., has re
organized, 100,000 shares of stock
having been issued. James T. Barron
is president and' C. T. Whitney, sec
retary. The amount of stock paid in
cash is shown to be $225,000 with
other assets valued at $797,550.53.
The new company is incorporated un
der the laws of the states of New
York.

CONTROL OVER
GRAIN SUPPLY
MERE “FARCE”
VIENNA, Austria, Aug. 24 (by As
sociated Press).—Austria has abol
ished government control of her dom
estic grain supply after a bitter politi
cal fight in which the advanced
parties were defeated by an over
whelming vote of the combined
Christian Socialist-Grosse Oeutsch
parties. Government control, it was
alleged, was a “farce.”
While the grain • of Austria is
negligible in the world’s supply and
but a fraction of her own need,
passage of the decontrol act is inter
esting as a popular demonstration of
the line of demarkation between the
two great political factions.
The economic experts of the So
cialist wing declared the decontrol
act a reactionary measure in favor of
the agrarian element ana predicted
that bread prices would rise because
of it.
Advocates of the measure, on the
other hand, insisted that in spite oi
laws the former withheld hia food
stuffs from the government requisi
tion and sold to the “left hand”
trade, which in turn profited by the
risk they undertook and ballooned
prices. These men say that decon
trol means a normal adjustment of
prices to demand and the sale of
breadstuffs being legalized, the farm
er and the miller will again enter the
market in open competition.
The Decontrol act brought the resig
nation of Food Controller Lowenfeld
Russ. Under his leadership the
Social Democrats fought the bill stage
by stage. In its linal shape the bill
provides that when the individual
farmer has given up three-tenths of
his crop the rest of it is freed. The
bill also abolishes milling permits.
Bountiful crops of early fruits and
vegetables and promise of an abun
dance of hardier later yields from
field and orchard, with the big Amer
ican flour credit still available for
the ration of daily bread have given
Austria a reprieve from the terrible
hardships of last winter.
rats are scarce as ever, However,
but in this gracious weather their
need is not so keenly felt. Meat, too,
is scanty and high, beyond the reach
of the masses. The American flour
credit will be exhausted this winter
and no man in Austria knows from
where or by what means it will be
replaced.
Strikes and disturbances in the
Teschen coal fields, the situation in
Silesia, virtual suspension of the Hun
garian supply, little as it was and,
finally, Austria’s inability to enforce
even the meagre contractual supplies
from Bohemia, have prevented the
hoped for accumulation of a modest
fuel reserve during the summer
months. Public utilities of Vienna
are reported to have but a week’s
reserve of coal power and light and
less than a month of gas coal at a
minimum consumption. The last
Austrian pig iron oven in operation
has just drawn its fires for lack of
coke.
Into this situation has been injected
a curious business phase resulting
from the increased value of the crown
on foreign change. In the late win
ter and early spring the crown
dropped, as low as 350 to the dollar
on foreign exchange. Encouraged by
this a small export trade was nour
ished. Austrian factories, famous for
certain fcrms of finished articles,
began to resume operations on a lim
ited scale, foreign buyers seeing a
good business chance in the low
crown value against standard monies.
Manufactures -were able to get ad
vances of credit to secure coal and
needed raw materials. It was a good
speculation for foi'eign values. Then
the Minister ot Finance, Dr. Reisch,
dropped a hint one day during a de
bate in the assembly that it would be
wise if Austrian retail sellers, were
to raise their crown prices to the
equivalent of foreign values. They
did it. A suit of clothes that cost
from 3,000 to 4,000 crowns rose in
price to from 15,000 to 18,000 crowns
and everything else went up in pro
portion.
Then the government, acting on
the same principle, is reported tc
have gone on the Zurich exchange,
which controls crown quotations, with
large amounts of foreign money and
forced the crown up. Their efforts
were assisted unexpectedly by an in
flux into Austria of foreign money
speculators. Appreciation of the
monies of the other countries oi
Central and Eastern Europe made
this their last field for speculation.
Pounds, dollars and francs became
plentiful with small demand and the
'crown rose in value until the official
\
price was 130 to the dollar and 150
in private deals. Retail prices con
tinued to go up, so that with the rise
in the grown cutting foreign values
one-half, the plan literally “cut its
own throat.”
Foreign buyers quit. Retail trade
stagnated. Native Austrians did noc
know whether to laugh or cry at a
straw hat in a window bearing the
pricer mark of 2,000 crowns. t But
they were not sold.
The next step in the reaction hit
the basic industries. The few factor
ies running have begun to curtail
or close down as orders are can
celled and new contracts fail to
come. The ministry of Socialization
is besieged with requests from man
ufacturers to be permitted to dis
charge employes, \t being reported
that as high as twenty a day have
been recently received.
PEOPLE ASKED
LIMIT SELVES
TO ESSENTIALS
BERLIN, Aug. 24 (by Associated
Press).—Since the raising of the
! blockade, Germany has imported
10,000.000,000 marks’ worth of silks,
perfumes, chocolates, oranges, cigar
ettes and other luxuries from
abroad, and the poor are clamoring for
oatmeal and condensed milk, accord
ing to the German advocates of the
simple life.
A new movement known as the
League for the Regeneration of Ger
many, which preaches plain living
and high thinking, a return to old
time simplicity, coupled with a revi
j
I val of intellectuality as opposed to
' the crass materialism of the present
1 day, has been started here. It depre
cates the daily issuance of 26,000,000
marks in paper currency by the gov
ernment.
An appeal is made to the people to
confine themselves to the essentials
of life—no more foreign-made
clothes or luxury foods, no more ex
j pensive pleasure trips abroad; no
| more costly presents.
The promoters, among whom are
i former Finance Minister Count Roe
dern; the economic expert Walter
Rathenau and a dozen well-known
professors and social workers, empha
size that they are not ascetics nor
prohibitionists but that they make a
| plain appeal to the common sense of
the people to restrict their general
expenditure for the sake of the
Fatherland.
It is claimed for the movement that
it is ^entirely non-partisan and that
it has the official endorsement of the
government.
