TRANSPORTATION
ALASKA’S NEED
Dr. A. T. Kinsley of Kansas City,
; Mo., who has been visiting with Mr.
| and Mrs. George Sexton for the last
| week, was a guest at the special
; Seward Chamber of Commerce lunch
| eon at noon today and gave a brief
I but interesting account of his im
; pressions of Alaska.
Dr. Kinsley stated his original thot
on Alaska was that it was purchased
from Russia. Later he gave a little
thought to its massive gold fields. La
ter, its huge mountains with snow
capped peaks, glaciers and icebergs,
but on this, his first trip to the Terri
| tory, he was vividly impressed with
I the wonderful natural resources.
I He agreed with Chas. D. Garfield,
Secretary of the Alaska Bureau of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce, who
had just previous spoken, that the
view of the average person in the
States has of Alaska, is correct. This
was with regards to transportation fa
| cilities. If transportation can be
j speeded up and the facilities increas
j ed in Alaska, the Territory could have
j all it could attend to for a consider
j able period to come. Dr. Kinsley cited

his own case as an example, in that in
asmuch as he is here for only a week,
it is impossible for him to visit cer
tain portions of the district which he
desired. He found upon his arrival
in Seward that the trip to and from
Fairbanks takes four days, which does
not permit the average tourist, who
would otherwise make the journey, to
see the wonderful Interior region) The
matter of Alaskan transportation, he
believed, was the outstanding prob
lem at this time.
Dr. Kinsley is accompanied by his
wife and son.
Mr. Goman, an official of the North
ern Pacific railroad was a Seward
visitor.

MINE OPERATORS OBJECT TO
PAYING 10 PER CENT INCREASE
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 11 (£>)
Having heard a denunciation of arbi
tration by John L. Lewis, a confer
ence of representatives of United Mine
Workers and Mine Owners has re
ferred the union’s demands to a sub
committee which meets late today.
The operators object strenuously to
the miners’ demands for a ten per
cent wake increase for contract men
and one dollar a day increase for day
men, and the retention of the check
off the collection of miners’ union
due by operators of union mines.
