SEWARD INVESTIGATES
 COAL MINING

l SEWARD, Alaska, Jan. SO.-H. V. lHoben, manager of the Alaska Trans fer Co.,, of Seward, representing the Seward Commercial Club, left for Knik this morning, where he will in- vestigate the conditions of transport ing Matanuska coal from Chickaloon to salt water So many stories are prevalent concerning friction between Swift and Dalton that the Commercial Club wishes to get the absolute facts, and if there seems any danger of the work being held up immediate action will be taken. Mir. Hoben will make a thorough investigation of conditions at Knik, Chickaloop and on the trail and report back within three weeks,
 All Coal on Matanuska.
 Fred Laubner, we'll known old timer and big property owner of Sew ard. arrived here last night from Knik, reporting that all of the shipment of Matanuska coal from Chickaloon which will be tested by the navy department has now been delivered at point on the Matanuska river, 22 miles from Chickaloon, and Will be delivered at tidewater ready for loading on lighters by February 25.
 He reports that there is still much friction between Disbursing Agent John w. Swift and Contractor Jack Dalton. Swift has wired to Washing ton. Laubner says, that Dalton is hir- ing unnecessary teams and men, doing unnecessary work on the trail and pay ing William Hughes, freighter, ex- orbitant prices,
 As a result of advices from Wash ington, Laubner continued, all of Hughes five teams were laid off. Laubner said Hughes was charging the government only S5 a day and feed per team, the cheapest price for hir- ing of teams on record in this section.
 Swift has laid of all the men hired at Knik, supposedly because they were in sympathy with Dalton, Laubner as- serts. Dalton says he intends landing the coal at saltwater at his own ex- pense, if necessary, and on time.
 Hughes says that if Dalton needs them he will furnish 20 teams and driv- CTS free in order that no balk may oc- cur in the delivery of the coal.
