young girl, all striking garment
workers, were fined $5.on charges
of disorderly conduct by Judge

some girls there who were picket

More than ever before the people
are scrutinizing the official conduct OF

in they are proving unfaithful. The

POST MASTERS TO

All Those Holding Office and Ap-

Tests.

Washington, May S.--After confer

Postmaster General Burleson an
nounced that an executive order would
be issued requesting that all fourth
class postmasters now in office or cam
didates for prospective appointments,
should be subjected to competitive
examination to determine their fitness
for the office.
The postmaster general issued a
statement explaining the purpose of
the new executive order. declaring
that President Taft's action in putting
the fourth class postmasters In the
CLASSIFIED service was not sufficient and
that the mere placing of "a great horde
OF persons in the classified service was

the civil service. as there We're no tests

TALLY amends the Taft executive or

BACKWARD ALASKA
CRYING FOR HELP
Congress Solely to Blame For
Tardy Development of Ter

Washington, May -"Responsibilty
for the condition of Alaska rests
squarely on the shoulders of the con

mer Secretary of the Interior Walter
l.. Fisher today before the Senate ter
ritories committee. The necessity for
legislation to open up the territory has
been pointed out time after time CON
tinued Mr.. Fisher, but nothing what :
ever has been done.
1T seems to me- he said that no
candid student of the situation In
Alaska who is at all free from personal
and pecuniary interest, can have tho
ei:Shtas. doubt nf the prnnriety of the
federal government constructing one or
more railroads in Alaska to open ,,p
that territory
Mr.. Fisher declared himself in favor
of government operation of the roads
at least as an experiment. He said
that government opera ton of the PAN
anna railroad had proved successful and
renewed his advocacy of his plan to
utilize much equipment that will not
be needed at Panama after the canal
is completed.
There can be no development of
Alaska, lie concluded, unless the gov
ernment constructs Il railroad from tide
water to the interior. Private interests
might build as far as the coal fields
or the copper mines. but no further. y
High interest rates at which private
interests would have to borrow Mr.
Fisher added, would prevent construc-
