STRIKERS IN BAD
WITH GOVERNMENT
Seattle: Word was received by the
chamber of commerce in this city
today from General Goethals in
Washington, asking that body to use
its good offices in an effort to bring
the striking shipbuilders and lumber
men and the heads of the shipyards
together in an effort to effect some
kind of an agreement that wall make
it possible to continue the present
building program. Gen. Goethals
stated that if the present strike is
permitted tc continue it will inter
fere with the government’s shipbuild
ing program to such an extent as to
seriously cripple the United States
in the present struggle upon which
she is engaged.

COMMISSION WILL OPERATE
MATANUSKA COAL MINE
The Eska Creek coal mine, lo
cated within trie limits of Leasing
Unit No. 7 of the Matanuska coal
field, was purchased on June 18 by
j the Alaskan Engineering commission
and formally taken over from the
private concern which has been op
erating it for •several months past
under the firm name of the Eska
Creek Coal Company. The com
mission will develop the property
without delay. Sumner S. Smith,
inspector for the Federal Bureau of
Mines, will be in immediate charge
of operations, and George H. Evans
district mine engineer of the Bureau
of Mines, will act as consulting
engineer. The purchase of the
necessary machinery and eciuipment
already has been arranged.
The purpose of the commission
in purchasing the mine is to se
| cure an adequate supply of coal for
the construction and operation of
' the government railroad. This ob
ject was attainable only through
the operation of the mine on a
larger scale and by the installation
of proper facilities. A washer for
cleaning the product will be erected
and other modern equipment added
to the plant, to insure the necessary
tonnage and the economical hand
ling cf the output..
The commission will also take
steps at once to open a mine on
Leasing Unit No. 12, at Chickaloon,
in the Matanuska field. A force
j of prospectors will be placed on the
unit immediately with a view of
determining the location of the vari
ous coal befls and the securing of
the necessary data preliminary to
comprehensive operations. Needed
machinery for this unit will be 'in
stalled as soon as the railroad is
completed to Chickaloon, probably
during the month of August.
It is not the purpose of the gov
eminent to remain in the coal min
ing business permanently, accord
ing to a statement appearing in the
Alaska Railroad Record, the official
publication of the Alaskan Engin
eering commission. When the coal
mines have been opened up sufficiently
to supply the large tonnage needed
by the commission it <is proposed tc
lease them to private parties in ac
cordance with the provisions of the
coal leasing regulations.

MANY BOATS OP;
WAREHOUSES FIL1ING
The pa.-1 week was a busy one
| along' the N'enana waterfront, the
| busiest, in fact, since the opening of
.navigation. Half a dozen steamers
j and as many barges arrive ! from
I the lower river and a large quan
tity of freight was unloaded at the
local docks, most of it being con
signee to the Alaskan Engineering
commission. Included in the commis
sion shipments was a large amount
of construction material, greatly
needed at this time, and its arrival
will facilitate the work at a number
of points along the right of way.
The steamers Alaska and Alice
reached town late last Saturday
night, with barges laden with gen
eral merchandise. The Reliance made
port on Tuesday and on Thursday
the Yukon and Tar.ana brought ad
ditional supplies and construction
material, their cargoes aggregating
1400 tons for the Commission and
130 tons for local merchants. The
Canadian arrived yesterday with
another consignment which included
a barge load of heavy rolling stock
for the Commission.
The passengers arriving on the
Alaska were: Miss Dalziel, F. Moloy,
A. L. Dautrick, Herman Nelson, F.
Fitzmartin, Harry Reach, Joseph
White, Pete Mannion.

{GOOD FEATURE
COMING SUNDAY
The Coliseum management announ
ces the five reel Pa the Gold Rooster
feature film, “The Spender,” as the
attraction at the Coliseum Sunday
evening. The film is especially well
worked out and should prove to be
one of' the best presented this sea
son at the popular playhouse. The
story deals with the viccisitudes in
the life of a young Englishman, who
having dissipated all the money pro
vided by an over-indulgent father, is
turned out by his father to make his
own way. He poses as an English
prince and goes to America to win
an American heiress with his fab
title. The story of his adventures
makes a very clever picture. .The
climax, in which he saves his father
in-law’s life from the fury of a
mob of factory workers who have been
incited to their bloodthirstiness by
a labor union walking delegate, is
one which is bound to furnish a
thrill of genuine alarm. The regular
feature prices of four and six bits
will prevail.
The Pueblo mine at Whitehorse,
which was closed down in February,
following a cave-in which resulted
in the death of six miners, is to
be reopened in the near future. The
sinking of a new shaft has already
been started.
