SNLNANIA IN AID OF

(By United Press Leased Wire.
PHILADELPHIA, March s.
The eyes of the strikers, of their
opponents and sympathizers are
turned today toward Newcastle,
where the State Federation of La
Dor is in session. The labor men
predict that the federation will
decide to call sympathetic
strike of union men and women
throughout Pennsylvania. Bust
ness men declare, however, that
they do not expect such an ex-
IRENE measure on the part of the
state labor organization.
The announcement of the pos
s1bility of statewide strike
came as a surprise to the majority
of citizens here. 1t is believed
that only a few labor leaders knew
such plan was being contem-
plated by Federation leaders.
No serious disturbance was re-
ported during The night, and long
after daybreak the city was quiet.
1t became apparent that both sides
are playing a waiting game.
A canvass b. a leading newspa-
per here indicated that $4,000
union men have quit work. The
city officials claim that only 90
600 men are out, and that they
are seeking to return to work,
Union leaders, however, still main
tain that 100000 are out.

champion, sets out for the extreme
south he will be equipped better
cut that down. And of course it
is no cinch that Scott will succeed
in reaching the antarctic peak.
Capt. Scott will call at New
Zealand to pick up ponies, dogs
and stores and will reach McMur-
do sound in December. His plan
is to establish one base at Nc
Murdo sound and another in King
Edward VII land, 400 miles east
From then until October, 1911, he
will spend setting out supply de-
pots. Then the dash will start.
From McMurdo to the pole and
back is about 1900 miles, and
there are about $50 days in which
travel is possible, so the expedi-
| ton, to be successful, must aver
age 10 miles day. Scott will use
the old reliable husky" dogs, arc
tic ponies (the worth of which
Lieut.. Shackleton recently proved,
for they took him within III miles
of the south pole) and motor
Isledges, which Scott has been test
ing in Norway with gratifying re-
suits.
The motor sledges are long
weigh about 500 pounds, are pro-
Ipelled by wooden feet attached to
belt and can carry a large bur-
den.
Scott hopes to reach the pole
about Christmas, 1911 (midsum-
mer) and reach communication
with the world in March, 1912. If
his first trial fails he will make a
second
The approach to the south pole
is not over floating ice, such as
Peary met, but over glacier
which rests on the very foundation
rocks of the world. The glacier
is estimated to be two miles thick
in places, and the ascent of 1t is
one of the difficulties of the polar
chase.
Accordingly no open water
leads" are there to delay the
march, but instead assures in the

 FOR TRAPPERS
Made by a Government Depart
 ment; Poorly Made, Too. ..

X circular letter was sent out from the department of commerce and labor June which contains the information that the power to prescribe the condi- tions under which fur-bearing animals may be taken in Alaska has been placed solely and absolutely in the hands of the secretary of the department. Tie letter is quoted from with the sim pie comment, for the present, that it shows one of the most striking instances of one-man power that has yet devel- oped in this country, where executive orders and departmental rulings have already superseded legislative enact ments in many of the largest and most important affairs. The letter says:
 Section 4 of "An act to protect the seal fisheries of Alaska, and for other purposes" approved April 2l, 1910, provides that
 "No person shall kill any marten, otter, mink, sable, or fur seal, or other fur-bearing animal, within the limits of Alaska Territory or the waters thereof; and every person guilty thereof shall, for each offense, be fined not less than two hundred or more than one thousand dollars or imprisoned not more than six months or both; and all vessels, their tackle, apparel, furniture, and cargo found engaged in violation of this sec- ton shall be forfeited; but the secretary of commerce and labor shall have power to authorize the killing of any such mink, marten, sable, fur seal or other fur-bearing animal under such regula- tions as he may prescribe; and it shall
Tanana leader., 1910-07-21

certified copy of the returns of said election showing the indorsement and support of the action of this convention, be sent to the president of the United States, the secretary of the interior, the attorney general of the United States, and the chairman of the Republican national committee.
Tanana leader., 1910-07-21

be the duty of the secretary of com- mcrce and labor to prevent the killing of any fur seal except as authorized by law and to provide for the execution of the provisions of this section until it is otherwise provided by law.'
 The secretary then proceeds to pro- mitigate his self-made regulations. Un- der them killing of sea otter is prohibited until Nov. l, 1920. The hunting or kill ing of beaver is prohibited prior to Nov. l, 1915. The hunting or killing of land otter, mink, muskrat, marten, fisher or ernline is prohibited throughout the season from April l to Oct 3l, both days inclusive, of each year. The hunt ing or killing of black bear is prohib- ited throughout the season from April 1 to July 31, both days inclusive, of each year. The hunting or killing of fox, wildcat or lynx is prohibited throughout the season from April to Sept. 30, both days inclusive, of each year. The kill ing of any fur-bearing animal by means of strychnine or any other poison is prohibited at all times. Permits or licenses may be issued by the secretary of commerce and labor for the taking of fur-bearing animals for scientific pur- poses or for shipment to geological parks. The penalties and forfeitures imposed by the act will be strictly en- forced against all persons who take, capture or kill, or who attempt to take, capture or kill, any fur-bearing animal in the Territory of Alaska during the prohibited seasons named, or who may barter or have in their possession the skin or pelt of any fur-bearing animal during said seasons. Hunters and deal- CTS having NOW on hand skins of the before mentioned fur-bearing animals will be allowed until Jan. l, 1911. to dispose of same.
 The Leader respectfully directs atten- tion to the fact that under this depart ment-made law no time after the end of the open season is provided for the dis position of skins hereafter taken. Thus a muskrat taken March 31 and found in the possession of a trapper or dealer April would lay the trapper or dealer liable to the penalties provided.
 It might also be mentioned that all kinds of bear except black bear, wolf, wolverine, groundsquirrel and other fur bearing animals not enumerated above are, under the regulations, protected the year around.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON
 RESOLUTIONS
To the Territorial Republican Convention Held at Juneau, Alaska, June 3O

1ilC UCoo ClIlLeAS O1 tllc Ouitcu OtdCcS.s
 It is for them that we demand inde- pendence; that they may have equal privilege with their brothers and sisters in the United States; that they may have the same independent right to voice their sentiments as the freeborn are allowed, and not be held in bondage and slavery and treated as such by the selected office holders and corporation healers who are trying to control and own this great possession, and who dic- tate who shall and who shall not live in this territory.
 Our heritage is equal rights to all and special privileges to none, and this We demund shall apply to Alaska in the future.
 Fifth, That the large corporations who have entered this territory to build rail- roads and open it's vast mineral wealth are retarded by the actions of this rule or ruin gang, in so far as they have tried to seize by force of arms, and even bloodshed, others rights instead of .ap- pealing to the department of justice.
 That this rule or ruin gang have rec commended appointments of judges, mar shals, district attorneys and other gov ernment officials who have been their partners and who will do their bidding, in order that this gang of self-appointed lobbyists can draw fees and salaries from the corporations entering this territory. All this is very distasteful to the free- born individuals of this territory and has caused great harm to the capital seeking to enter the field, by making the people distrustful of the corpora tions who continue to favor such methods. :.a":.."
 Therefore, be it further resolved by the Republicans of Alaska in convention assembled:
 First. That the so-called Republican convention of June 2s, 1910, held at the Natatorium Hall at Douglas, is in no sense a representative convention of Republicans of the Territory of Alaska, but was called and held solely in the interests of the corrupt Shackleford- Hoggatt ring, and is not entitled to the respect or support of honest Republi cans. " =" ~-
 Second. That Louis P. Shackleford has betrayed his trust as Republican terri torial national committeeman of Alaska has used his position as such solely to further the personal ends of himself and associates, and has brought disgrace upon the Republicans of Alaska, and we demand his removal from the Re- publican national committee.
 Third. That Gov Walter E. Clark has proved himself utterly false to the du- ties of his office; has shown himself wholly unworthy to be trusted either in word or act, and has forfeited the re- spect and confidence of the people of Alaska, and we demand that he be re- moved from the office of the governor of the district.
 Fourth. That immediately after the election of delegate to congress from the District of Alaska, to be held on the ninth day of August, 1910, certified copy of these resolutions, together with
Tanana leader., 1910-07-21

lican Territorial Convention:
 We, your committee on resolutions, beg leave to submit the following report:
 Whereas, Political parties are organ ized for the sole purpose of enabling the people to act together and thereby ulti- mately direct the government according to the views of the majority, and formu- late their will into law and policy; and,
 Whereas, The sole purpose of the ma chinery of party organization is to fur nish the means by which the voice of the people may be collectively ex- pressed; and,
 Whereas, Whenever those who have been constituted, or who have consti- tuted themselves, leaders of the party and gained control of it's machinery, prove false to the duties of their office, and instead of acting i'll the interests of the party as.a whole seek to use their position and power to further their own corrupt and private ends, it is the sol emn duty of the rank and file to rise
 
 leaders; Now, therefore,
 Be it resolved, That the following con- ditions today exist in the organization of the Republican party ill the District of Alaska:
 First, That Louis P. Shackleford ob- tained the office of national committee man in 1908 by fraud and corruption, and contrary to the wishes of the great majority of said party;
 Second, That he arrogated to himself the office of chairman of the republican committee, to which position he was never elected, and to which he never was entitled;
 Third, That he has attempted to use both such offices for the purposes of thwarting the will and silencing the voice of the Republican party in Alaska, and to continue his own rule as its head and spokesman and use the influence thus acquired with the national admin istration for wholly corrupt and selfish purposes.
 We charge Louis P. Shackleford, as national committeeman, that he has or ganized in conjunction with ex-Gov. w. B. Hoggatt, Gov. Walter E. Clark and a few others clique commonly known throughout Alaska as "The Rule or Ruin Gang"
 That to this end he and they have spent the past winter and spring in the City of Washington, lobbying against measures introduced in congress by that Republican statesman and delegate from Alaska, James Wickersham; measures which were overwhelmingly indorsed by the people of Alaska at the polls. That to this end he and they have carried on campaign of deceit and falsehood against said delegate to congress and the people of the territory. To this end he and they have willfully and mali ciously deceived the administration at Washington as to the conditions in the territory and cruelty and maliciously slandered the people and peace-loving men and women, whose children are attached to the Alaska of their child hood and who will grow up to be among

advice OF Mr.. Hoyt. in Washington. in
May, 1909, after First Assistant Secre-
tary OF the Interior Pierce had rem
dered an opinion which CLAWS thought
would permit the Cunningham claims
in Alaska to patent.
The remainder OF the day was ia
ken up with the introduction OF docu-
mentary evidence by Mr.. Brandeis.
These consisted largely of references
in the agents reports to conversations
or interviews with Mr. Ballinger as
commissioner of the land office, on the
subject OF the Alaska claims This
was done. the attorney said. TO show
that Mr.. Ballinger had been activeL>
interested in these cases before he left
the land office. and acted as attorney
Tor some of the claimants.
He also read from statement by
". II. Schwartz. chief OF the field ser
vice. that 1t was at Mr.. Ballingers
direction. in January. 1908. that the
Cunningham claims were ordered to be
clear-listed for patent. This order was
withdrawn after CLAWS had been noti-
fled and had protested.
