Judge Wade, yesterday afternoon,
IN the federal court here, explained
the circumstances concerning the con-
versation in which counsel for Ed
ward D. Madison based their afida-
Wit OF prejudice. Judge Wade will re-
port the occurrence to Justice San

heard by another Judge.
The court intimated that he was
satisfied that the last conversation
was held with him after the afr
davit was prepared and that the con-
versation was held with the intent Of
determining whether it would be
filed or not. L. L. Drill Of Mime
apolis and F. F. Faville of Storm
Lake, were the defendants attorneys.
In the affidavit charging prejudice
the attorneys for Madison allege that
the defendant believes the court has
bias or prejudice. The judge has ex-
pressed his opinion that the business
in which this defendant was engaged
in selling stock being the very mat
ter with which he Is charged in the
indictment was a gigantic swindle.
Defendant believes that because Of
this attitude Of mind on the part Of
said judge, he cannot obtain a fair

Although the act providing for an eight hour working day on all mining operations, placer as well as quartz, went into effect on July Il last. it apparently has not been put into effect in this district, or if it has, its introduction has brought with it no dis turbance of working conditions. In the districts surrounding Fairbanks, however, the conditions are different, and there a controversy has arisen which has brought cessation of work on many properties and at last accounts was still unsettled. The News Miner of July l2 contained the follow ing account of conditions in the Fairbanks district;
 "The new eight hour law went into effect throughout the territory yesterday, July II, and as a result, as predicted ln these col umns some time ago, Fairbanks district be- came immediately affected. A general strike l is in progress today in the Chatanlka and Olnes districts, and one on a smaller scale on Ester creek
 "Chatanika is the largest deep placer min ing district of the three, employing close to 800 men there this summer. Last night the men. led by the Russians, it Is claimed, held a mass meeting on the creek above Chata- nlka and decided they would not go to work for less than s a day, with an eight hour shift. instead of the present tenhour day.
 When the whistles blew this morning the men assembled but stated their demands in stead of going down in the shafts. The operators were expecting 1t, and refused to go ahead some paying off their men, some locking up their boiler houses and asserting that they would at once close for the sum- mer.
 Reyes & Rettig started to put seven men at work, and Manager Reyes ordered back the crowd that had assembled, but later he changed his mind and shut down the plant He may not reopen this season, as he is mining loW-grade ground on large scale working some forty-seven men, and claims that the new law comes close to put ting him out of business.
 ''Brevick, Sather & Brevick are working g few men, but are running short. and will have to get more men on the Job or shut down.
 There is no violence of any kind for the operators are in no degree responsible for the disastrous effects of the law, and in fact have opposed it to a man. It Is reported on the streets of Chatanka today that the men are relenting in their first demands and that most of them will petition the op- orators to hire them for ten hours at S5, as
Iditarod pioneer., 1915-08-07

at present or else will work eight hours for $4 day.
 It appears that some of the attorneys in terpret the new law to mean that employers nall be punished for a violation of it if they shall cause men to be employed longer than eight hours, but that if the men themselves voluntarily ask for ten hours they may be employed for that length of time.
 Consequently some of the men in the Chatanika district at least are said to be preparing petitions to present to the oper- atcrs asking for a resumption of work on the enhour basis and if this is done test may be made of the law shortly to secure an interpretation of 1t in the local courts. Such a case would be brought before a United States commissioner.
 "On Ester creek Sullivan & Olson closed down yesterday morning. They were work ing forty men, and desired 10 pay S4 a day for eight hours, but insisted that the men go down in the shaft at quarter to s in the morning and again at quarter to l at noon. This would give the men, they fig ured eight hours in the faces and tunnels and make up some for boarding the men on eight hours work instead of ten, as at pres ent. The men refused to work under such conditions.
 "E P. Short is also large employer of labor, working some twenty five or thirty men. He is paying $4 day for eight hours, and the men are at work today. Some of the smaller mines have not yet decided what they will do, and the situation Is re ported to be greatly unsettled as yet.
 En1eaVor to Circumvent Law
 Like hail storm through wheat field in full harvest, is the situation ex pressed at Olnes where operations have sus- pended indefinitely. If the legislature had only been wise enough to have fixed the time as November 1 or to have waited until the end of the season. said one man, the operators and men could have adjusted themselves accordingly, but 1t hits us now squarely in the middle of the season. The men do not want to work for S4 day, and the operators feel that they cannot pay $5 for eight hours To do otherwise they be-. lieve would be 'evading the law. So we're up against it, and nobody knows what the outcome will be The legislature has us dead to rights, strung up by our thumbs and helpless
 "No general meeting of the operators on the creeks has been called, each district trying to solve its trouble in its own way governed by local conditions The men are

LEEBKNECHT MAKES APPEAL
 10 LABOR TO END WAR

The following Is the appeal of Dr. Karl Liebknecht, the German Socialist leader and the only member of the reichstag to vote against the war bill, to the newspapers and labor leaders to use their influence to end the war:
 "As labor leader l am pleased to write a message of brotherhood to the British Socialists at a time when the ruling classes of Germany and Great Britain gre trying by all the means in their power to iucite bloodthirsty hatred between the two peoples
 But it is painful to write at time when the radiant hope of previous days the So- cialist International, lies smashed, with it's thousand expectations, when even many So- cialists of the belligerent countries in this most rapacious of all wars of robbery will ingly put on the yoke of imperialism
 "Confuson reigns in the rank and file of the Socialist army. Many Socialists blame our principles for our present failure. It is not our principles which have failed but the representatives of those principles
 ''All the phrases of national defense and Liberation of the people with which i'm perialism decorates its instruments of mur der are deceiving tinsel. The liberation of each nation must be the result of its own work. Only blindness can command the continuation of slaughter until the enemy is crushed. The well-being of all nations is in separably connected.
 "The world war, which has smashed the International must, however, be realized as powerful sermon making clear the need for new international of another kind and with different force from that which the capitalist powers so easily shattered last August.
 "Only in the cooperation of the working masses of all countries in times of war, as in times of peace, does the salvation of hu- manity lie. Nowhere have the masses de sired this war. Why should they, then, murder each other to finish it? It would be sign of weakness, it is said, for any one

THE WAR BOOM"
(Philadelphia Ledger

The "war boom has hit Pennsylvania like tidal wave Every day some new firm announces great orders for munitions that mean employment for thousands. This gun company has million rifles to make, that one 1,500 big gun parts. A corporation making steel cars in times of peace is get ting ready to turn out shells for sixlnch guns; another that builds locomotives IS adding shrapnel to its products.
 The sharpest example Is Chester. There 23,000 new wOrkmen are to be taken on to fill orders for arms and ammunition in the EddyStone plant of the Baldwin Loco motive Company. The 'boom" condition is expected to last two years. according to present orders; and it is reflected in the real estate field by plans for 2,00O new homes made necessary by this small army.
 From all these signs it is easy to believe that Europe's buying agents have taken the field with rush, that England and Russia are spending $500, ,000O0O France S40O,- 100000 and Italy SlO0000G0O.
 And why? For nine months the "boom' that all had prophesied held of; overconh dence among the allies, slipshod methods of provisioning may have accounted for it. The present rush of orders is a spectacular testimonial to the fact that the remarkable brain of David Lloyd George is in charge of EngIands powder chest. Cause and ef- feet have leapt across the Atlantic.

l in the same fix. They want the s day if there Is any way to get it, and are not worried over the extra hours But now $4 is the most they can hope for from any of | the operators, and some of them feel that to pay this and board the men with one fifth less work for the day and fer the season is asking too much from ground that IS not bonanza any longer. The answer to the problem must come quickly, CT the sit uation will become acute at once" The News-M Miner of the 18th also contains the following with reference to the eight hour law:
 A Fmsy Pretext "A peculiar feature of the situation lies in a joker that has been discovered in q federal act that would have to be invoked to prosecute the operators should they go ahead with ten hour day at S5 as here tofcre The original organic act of Alaska reads as follows in Section II;
 "'That no member of the legislature shall hold or be appointed to any office which has been created or the salary or emolu- ments of which have been increased while he was a member, during the term for which he was elected and for one year after the expiration of such term and no person hold
 ing a commission or appointment under the United States shall be a member Of the legislature or shall hold any office under the government of said territory.
 This was amended in the last congress by a special bill enabling certain federal officials to enforce territorial laws ln Alaska and assume duties hereunder not in conflict with their federal position. However, the act particularly states that this applies to gov ernor marshals, deputy marshals, clerks of
 the district courts and United States com missioners acting as justices of the peace, judges of probate courts, recorders and cor oners.' No mention whatever is made of the district attorneys office, where such prosecutions for the infringement of laws originate It is believed by good legal au- thorties that any prosecutions under the eight hour law could not be started by the federal authorities, which further comph- cates the situation.
 "Incidentally it might also be mentioned that this congressional act also left out the name of the territorial secretary, who IS the tax collector of the territory, and how he can serve both the government and the ter ritory without specific authority IS not eX- plained"
