BAKERS

One of the shortest-lived strikes ever
pulled off in Los Angeles was begun and
ended on May l. Following the usual
custom, Bakers Union No. 81 notified
the bosses some weeks ago that the
agreements should be renewed by May l..
A conference was held with the Jewish
bosses on Thursday, April %, but no
agreement was reached. The represent
ative of the Bakers Union then told the
bosses once again that the men could
not work for them after midnight of
April 80 if the agreements were not
signed by that time The new agree
ments are much the same the old
ones except in one or two respects. One
stipulation is that six days shall consti-
tute weeks work; another calls for
pay on certain holidays. The prices
asked are: For foremen, S21 per week;
bench hands, minimum OF S2l per
week. The bosses were given reasonable
notice and were treated fairly in every
way. There were five shops concerned,
employing about thirty men. Another
meeting was called for Wednesday. April
20. All bosses were present, but still
persisted in their refusal to sign the
agreements. Midnight, April 30, arrived
and the agreements not signed. and
every man jack walked out, having first
put everything in ship shape. For a
few hours there were some frantic Jews
in Los Angeles. They tried the employ
ment offices and everywhere TO get men
to fill the places of the strikers, but
without success. Idle bakers there
were. and some non union, too. but evil
IDENTIFY the day is passed when even a
non-union man will scab on his fellow
worker. By o'clock Friday evening
the bosses were telephoning TO the Bak-
ers' headquarters in the Labor Temple,
asking for a conference. One was ar
ranged and the agreements were all
signed and the men went back to work
under the improved conditions called for
in the new agreements.

pRESSMEN.

During the past two weeks the strik-
ing pressmen and feeders of San Fran
cisco have made substantial gains in
their fight against the Franklin Printing
Trades Association. says the Labor Clar-
ION. A dozen of the strike. breakers have
been induced TO leave the employ of the
association establishments and return to
their former homes. thus adding to the
discontinue of the unfair firms. One
shop has also lost very large job. ow-
ing TO its inability to furnish the union
label. and several other offices have re-
ccived similar treatment on smaller
scale.
The fight is being kept up vigorously
and the men say there will be no lct-up
until the employers see the futility oi
their fight Tor the open shop.
These strikers have put up splendid
uphill fight in the face of great diff
entities, but are as dcterrancd today as
on the first day of the strike. They
need, and should receive. the financial
support of the labor movement.

Many Fairbanksans Going Outside Soon Are Advised to Make Reservations Early

aI.bough it is expected that many people of Fairbanks and the creeks Will go Outside this fall in order to be in attendance at the Panama Pacific international exposition, the travel will not be nearly as large as in former years. according to all reports. However it is known that there are many Fairbanksans who intend to go Outside to attend the fair. although many of them will wait until the late winter or early spring before making the trip
 IL is understood that for the most part, the creek people who are so- ing. will leave on various boats from the present time until the close of navigation. They intend to go out this fall in order that they may spend the winter on the Out side. see the fair in the spring, and return North by the time work starts next summer In fact. num- Der of the larger operators are al ready arranging their affairs so that they can go Outside. but so that they can return in the spring and find everything ready 10 start work just where they leave off.
 When interviewed as to the ac- commodatiors which will be provided for those going out on the last boats of the season. General Agent James A. Fairborn. of the American Yukon Navigation company, stated that arlangements are being made to care for all It is the intention of the company to run boats out Of Fairbanks as often as the mails are permitted to leave, or once a week and it is. therefore, probable that four more boats will leave, each go- ing as soon after the departure of another as is possible.
 However. the manipulation of the boats depends entirely on the stage of water. During the past week.

lessons to Resume Ranching in Mexico
 Thinks it Is Garden Spot of the World

of fruits, grain. etc, than is Cali fornia today. However, the prtnct- pal crop grown on all of the big ranches is "garabansas.' or kind of pea which is shipped to Spain in enormous quantities and for which there is always a good market price.
 When the revolution first started in Mexico, lesson brothers had just completed the purchase of their ranches and had commenced mak- ing their improvements on the larg CT body of ground. Some of it had been fenced. and few miles of ir- rigation ditches had been construct ed, but the work had to cease on account of the activities of the reyolutionists
 Mr. lesson stated just before his departure from Fairbanks that his first work on reaching his ranch in Mexico would be to clear up the ground This kind of dead work he explained, would have to be done under any consideration. then, If there were any more revolutions, he and his brother would not be losers thereby.
 However, should the country again become settled after it's num- erous wars and revolutions, the Jes- son brothers will make big improve ments. They plan to build an "ha, cienda," or ranch house, on a grand scale and completely equip their ranch with all of the latest farm ing machinery. Among other things which they will take to Mexico, will be two gasoline traction engines for doing all of the heavy pulling and blowing of the ground.

Now that the troubles in Mexico are practically over and that coun- try is again safe for a white man to live in, lesson brothers will re- sume their ranching in the State Of Sonora, according to statement of F.. K. lesson who left for the Out, side on the steamer Yukon last week.
 They intend to improve their pro perty considerably as soon as pos sible although they will do no perm anent building of houses, fences and irrigating ditches until it ia absolutely certain that they will not be troubled. MT. lesson stated before leaving Fairbanks that his brother wrote him saying that he had received the assurances of the Carranza government that American ranchers will not be molested, as the Mexicans now wish to encourage agriculture in all parts of their country.
 lesson brothers, l.. N. and E. R. bought their Mexican property about four years ago They own 1000 acres of iand in one body in the Yaqu river valley near the city of Guaymas which is the most north ern port of Mexico on the Pacific coast, 5000 acres in another ranch further up the valley and 200 acres more in the foothills. Two other well known Fairbanksans, Munger and Bedouin. also own ground near that of the lessons.
 MT. lesson is of the opinion that the Yaqui river valley will one day be a larger producer of all kinds

 WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. D. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo appeared before the house merchant marine committee this afternoon to urge the favorable consideration of the measure which provides for the transfer of foreign merchant ships to American registry. The secre- tary argued that the United States has the right to acquire merchant ships of any nationality so long as they are intended for neutral uses.
 The Clayton bill, which is one of the administration trust measures, was passed by the senate this after noon by a vote of 46 to 16.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept A. It is considered certain this after noon that the lower house of con- gress will pass the Alaska coal land leasing bill within a couple of days. There is the probability that the measure will be approved before to- morrow night.
 President Wilson appeared before congress this afternoon and address Su tHc Ou tHe Hceu Ol funds to cover the deficit in trea- sury receipts which has resulted from the European conflict. The executive offered no suggestions, but informed the lawmakers that the people of the United States stood ready to assist in. whatever way congress decided upon. The address was listened to attentively, and upon it's conclusion the legislative machinery was set in motion by administration supporters. The house Democrats held a conference late this afternoon, at which was con- sidered a tentative tax measure. The provisions of the bill were not made public. It is known, however, that it is the intention of the law makers to place a tax of one cent gallon on gasoline, and dollar a barrel on beer. Railroad passen- ger tickets also will be taxed.

all of the steamers have had df ficulty in navigating the waters of the Panama river and the Chena slough. because the recent high water formed bars. over which it is nearly impossible for the boats to pass at the present stage of Va ter. For that reason, it is prob able that the last boats will be dispatched from Cinema, although they will be brought up to Fair banks if possible.
 No definite announcement con cerning the sailing of the last boat for the upper river has yet been made by the navigation company, but it is expected that there will be at least one sailing after October 1. However. the date of the sailing of the last boat of the season de pends entirely upon the stage of the water and the condition of the weather. The date of the last sail ing in 1913 was October 3. although the last company boat usually leaves sometime between Septem- Der 2S and October l.
 MT. Fairborn states that as yet there have been no regular reserva- tions made for the last sailings, al thOugh there are a number of names on the waiting list. However, the last boat leaving port in September has been reserved for the men com posing the survey crew of the Alaska Railroad commission. Those who now place their names on the waiting list will be given accommo- dations on the steamers in their turn.
 All who intend to go Outside this fall are advised to get ready as soon as possible in order to avoid an almost certain rush for the last boat Women, particularly, are re quested to procure their accommOda- tions early. for under no circum- stances will they be allowed to leave on the last scheduled boat.

TAKANA IS FREE
 FROM TAXATION

Tanana is one of the very few, if not the only enc of the towns in the country maintained without taxation How this is accomplished is told in the following clipping from the Ruby Record-Citizen.
 "Geor4e F. Bemis, mayor of Tana- na, who is attending court as a petit juror, in an interview regard ing the result of two years of in corporation at his town, is very de, cided in pronouncing it a success in every particular.
 "The town has been run and many much-needed improvements made without levying a municipal tax.
 This year the income from com mercial and liquor licenses amount ed to about $6,900. Of this s2,OOo went to the school The teacher is paid s150 per month and the jani- tor receives $25.
 'The municipality has purchased 55-gallon chemical fire eXtinguish- CT which, after being mounted on d sled and housed, together with a barrel of soda and 90 pounds of sul- phuric acid for refilling, stands the city SS55 Mayor Bemis also adds that this chemical saved the town from very destructive fire last January A tube of the acetyline light in the Grand hotel became broken, and the gas igniting. the flames spread rapidly and soon eX- tended to two rooms and in between the studdings of the surrounding wall Within few minutes after the arrival Of the chemical the fire was extinguished and disastrous fire was narrowly averted.
