FRAME LAW FOR
ALASKA LEASES

WASHINGTON, January ga plan
for leasing OF the Alaska coal lands
was introduced in the House by Rep
resentative Mondel. Republican. of
Wyoming, in the from of a bill reserv-
ing all Alaskan coal lands from any
form of disposition except leasing but
expressly excludes lands for which
patients are now claimed. That re-
moves the Cunningham claim from Its
Provisions, The bill was framed after
many conferences with Secretary OF
the Interior Ballinger.
The proposed law will limit all leases
TO a NAHUM of 5000 acres and fixes
the rental charge at from 3 to 10 cents
royal per ton, while limiting the time of
the lease to thirty years. Lessees must
agree not to monopolize In coal mining
and sell with discrimination and must
mine with proper safety appliances.
Violations OF these provisions may re-
suit in cancellation of the lease, after
suits in the district court OF Alaska.
A special provision gives the army
and navy prior right to take coal mined
at a price TO be fixed by the president.
and grants special limited leases to
municipal corporations and individuals
for mining coal to be used In Alaska
an areas not to exceed 100 acres.
Seventy five per cent of the money
derived from the leases are to go into
the Alaska fund" for the construc-
ton of roads. support of schools, and
care of insane persons.

seven months ago had the right course been
pursued Recourse to violence is virtually au

Blood has been spilled in this strike OF more

charged to the strikers Leaders among the
journeymen were imprisoned and still are, for
conspiracy to prevent workmen willing to re-
sumo their labors from going back to their
benches, and two Italians were hanged for an
assassination during the strike
The violent element among the $4,000 work
men might have kept up its reign of terror for
seven months more and gotten farther away
from the issues involved and farther from set

prevent injustice and unfairness, but violence
