Cargo.
DUMPED INTO THE SEA
Cargo of Bags is Thrown Overheard
by Mob of Alaska Pioneers
Who Make Own
Laws.

SEATTLE, Wash, May Sin the
spirit of the famous Boston tea party
of 17T5, Alaska pioneers at Cordova
formed themselves into mob, board
ed one of the vessels of the Alaska
Steamship Company which had just
arrived with cargo of Canadian coal,
and threw the sacks of fuel into the
harbor.
Men of every walk of life were MEM
bers Of the mob which took posses
sion of the vessel, leaving the author
tiles powerless to act. The fighting
attitude shown has led the authorities
to believe that long struggle is be-
fore them, and the federal authorities
will ask for United States troops to
put stop to the rioting which is sure
to follow.
Plans for the demonstration We're
made at meeting held in Corodys
Saturday evening, when there were
bitter protests against the refusal o.
the government to release the ricf
Alaska coal lands. 1t was decided
to follow the example set by thu
Pilgrim fathers and to dump into th'
harbor every sack of Canadian Goa
brought to Cordova
Officials of the Alaska STEAMSHIP
/ Company say that the situation i
growing more serious hourly an
there may be bloodshed before tn
mob is quieted.
