CIGARETTES ARE SCARCE
THROUGHOUT ENGLAND
LONDON.—London has been suf
fering lately from a scarcity of
. tobacco, notably of cigarettes. This,
according to John Peirson, president
, of the National Union of Retail To
1 bacconists, is due to the fact that
, the shipping control only permitted
i 10,000 tons of tobacco a month to
come into the country, while more
people smoked than formerly. There
were more women smokers, he said.
Mr. Pearson declared that in a
government department he knew
: of “20 minutes were set aside every
' morning for the employes to smoke
I their cigarettes.” Mr. Pearson
found no harm in this because his
tobacconist shop was next door.

HAYDEN REFUTES
WICK’S CHARGES
SEATTLE, Apr. 7.—'The Seattle
Post Intelligencer published a let
ter today from F. D. Hayden, for
mer assistant division engineer of
the A.laskan Engineering commis
sion.
Mr. Hayden states positively that
Wiekersham's charges of incom
petency and waste in the construc
tion of the government railroad in
Alaska have absolutely no founda
tion in fact.
He says that the disturbed labor
condition? due to the war, and the
advance in the price of steel, con
struction materia! and supplies of
all kinds, made a greater outlay
than originally estimated necessary.
Wickers ham. he .aid. made a br. r i
sweeping condemnation of the en
tire project which was not in keep
ing with the facts a? he knew them.
Politics, said Mr Hay'em which
Wickersham alleged entered largely
into tile calculations of the A. E. C.,
did not concern the Commission in
any way at any time.
The Seattle P. I. says that Mr.
Hayden's letter fully answers all of
Wiekersham’s charges.
Mr. Hayden, who is at present
assistant to the professor of rad
road engineering of the University
of Washington, joined the services
of the A. E. C. on June 3rd, 1914.

various sections of the railroad
south of Nenana, and on being pro
moted to the position of assistant

of the work on the Happy end of
the Nenana-Fairbanks branch line.
He relinquished his position on
October 30, 1017, to go to the
States and enter the army.
