PEONAGE IS PRACTICED
 IN ALASKA CANNERlES

If the facts were known concerning the neonage practiced in some of the Southeast ern Alaska cannere> the exposure would be- come a national scandal said A. B, Calla- ham of Juneau, who vas in Seattle buying plant to begin the publication of weekly newspaper in the Alaska capital, to Post Intelligencer reporter MT. Callahan, for merly of Seattle, was for time editor of the Alaska Daily Dispatch.
 Probably some Seattle people remember the case of one Ito, Japanese cannery boss employed in Dundas bay plant who IS under sentence of death at Juneau for the murder of Japanese cannery hand said Mir Callahan. It is not generally known that the Japanese who was killed was one who had expressed dissatisfaction over his contract with the cannery. The Japanese was visited one night by Ito and two helpers, called out and while the two helpers held him, Ito took his life with 2 long sword.

 Fishermen Witness Murder
 This case would never have come to light in all probability. had not some fish ermen who happened to be in the bay at the time seen the killing and reported it. It is the general impression in the North that the penalty for dissatisfaction with these cannery contracts IS death
 The terms of the contract signed by the fourteen Filipino workmen with a cannery at Petersburg MT. Callahan says, are a du- plicate of those in use in many other can neries in Alaska.
 This whole situation calls for federal investigation he said. "The laborers are hired on the outside by Chinese contractor, who deals with the white superintendent of dent IS foreman usually Chinese or 8 Japanese, who is assisted by Chinese boss. The owners of the cannery perhaps know very little of the way the labor is handled. The laborers, however, are forced to sign a contract under which they must work every day during the six months season; if called upon, they must work throughout the twen- ty-four hours In case of sickness or dis ability, the men are docked p cents an hour Such unfair treatment would ordi- narily call for protest when fully realized by the men, but the penalty of protest under the contract is the forfeiture of the season $ pay. Sometimes as in the case of the Jap anese killed by Ito, the actual penalty is death

AMERICAN LEAGUE
MEETS ON NOV. s
Troubles of Minor Organiza-
ton Will Receive Atten-
ton of Magnates.
TBY LEASED WlRE,1

CHICAGO, Oct. 3O-lnstead of wait
ing until the middle of December to
hold their annual meeting, as per Gus
tom of former seasons, the American
league magnates will assemble here in
a star chamber session on or about
November 6. President Ban johnson
today issued the summons notifying
each club owner that business of great
importance will be up for decision.
According to President Johnson, a
big story will break. AS this session
will precede the annual conclave of
the minors at Omaha it is reported
the majors will delve into the troubles
of the little fellows and attempt to
map out ways and means of assisting
the oppressed bushers.
There are several subjects which
might be of interest to club owners
at this time. Connie Mack has some
bruised shins as the result of the
worlds series.
Again some of the magnates may
want to know why the name of Big
Bill Deverey got into the limelight
during the row which eliminated in
the resignation of Frank Chance as
manager of the Highlanders. Silent
partners in baseball franchises are
not uncommon. but they are supposed
to remain silent. 1t is not considered
good form for silent" partners to
make a noise to the public as they
sometimes do.

Had Agreement to Buy
House for $3.50.

Proceedings were entered in Squire
Abbott's justice of the peace court to,
day against Alfred c. Underhin by
Daniel Revels, a poor and aged man,
who was elected from a house he
thought he purchased from Underhill,
and for two months past has been
living in tent at Fourteenth and
North streets.
Eight years ago, Revels entered into
verbal agreement with the cattle
dealer to pay So a month for a house
and lot, until $3.50 was paid, when
Underhill was to give Revels deed.
Underhill offered the lot for sale for
$50, and said he paid $50 for the
house, making the total property
value $500 Revels has now paid 1882
and has nothing to show for it but re-
ceipts, which Underhill claims are for
rent
Revels says Underhill offered to rent
the house for 81 a month. He says
he should recover part of the 1882 if
Underhill defeats him in the suit. The
case will not be tried in the Justices
court, but will be sent to circuit court
Revels and his wife now pay 81 a
month rent for a 12x14-foot patch of
ground which they occupy. The tent
was furnished them. They are living
on the bare ground with only few
strips of thin carpet instead of a
floor. Neither is able to work.
