Royalties for Alaska Coal.

Washington.-A new and sensation
al factor appeared Tuesday to add in
tensity to the already sufficiently ex-
cited situation over the Alaska coal
lands. on the eve Of the beginning of
the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation.
John E. Ballaine of Seattle, said to
be the largest individual property
owned in Alaska. made a proposition
in writing to the Senate committee on
territories. of which Senator Bever-
idge of Indiana is chairman, offering
to the government a royalty of so
cents ton of coal mined for the
lease of 5000 acres of some of the
choicest coal lands in Alaska, in the
Katalla and Matanuska districts. Such
a tonnage royalty would net to the
government, Mr.. Ballaine claims,
amounts as high as $2,O00,000 per
hundred acres.
Mr.. Ballaine quoted the United
States Geological Survey as stating
in one of its recent reports that there
are 16,0O0.0 100000 tons of coal in sight
probably at least as much again in re-
gions unexplored; and he pointed out
that the leasing of these areas on a
royalty basis such as he was offering
for an area of only 5000 acres would
ultimately bring to the government a
net revenue from that source exceed
ing $4,000. 100000.

TRADE UNION
INSURANCE,

The International Molders' Union of
North America is about to start Il strict
ly life insurance feature, the rates being
those provided by the fraternal congress
tables. The amounts to which members
will be insured will run from $500 to
$4,000
The union proposes to take out u char.
ter in the state of Ohio, which will permit
it to operate in all the other states and
Canada. The laws of Ohio provide that
to secure Il charter there must be 500
members insured for at least ST 900 each
and paid-up premiums amounting to
$500. After making arrangements for
the charter, they give the privilege of
one year to solicit membership. With
the membership, of the molders' union in
ONO it is going to take a very large per
centagc to get the 500 names required
but the organization will put forth u very
strong effort to secure the QUOTA The
officials believe they will be successful in
getting the required number within the
specified time.
This question of insurance was brought
up at the molders convent ion held in
l'hiladclphi in June, 1907, where, bv n
unanimous vote of the delegates, it was
referred to the officers and the executive
board to ascertain the feeling of the full
membership. upon whose authorization
/ the board WAS empowered TO set aside
whatever amount might be required to
launch and establish the project The
financial stringcncy, followed by the in
dustrial panic of l9O7-S, prevented the
union from entering upon the venture at
I hat time. but with conditions in the
trade AS the now it is felt that the
time for beginning is opportune.
The sum of $4,000 has been set aside
to be used in establishing this feature in
the organization. and its members are
going to put forth good, determined
effort to make it success. 1t will be
run on strictly business principles. Sym
pathy and sentiment will not be allowed
to interfere with its successful work. The
| union has the services of an experienced
! actuary and an insurance attorney. The
experiment will be watched with svrnpa-
thetic interest by the members of the
other international unions.
