Coal SHIPMENTS
HELP RAILROADS
Fuel in Big Quantities In
creaSes Freight Through
Wilmington
STORING in
FEAR OF STRIKE

More coal is today being shipped
.ntO and through Wilmington over the
Pennsylvania Railroad than at any
Time during the past year. Coal
dealers in Wilmington, the railroads
throughout the east and big manufac-
turors in the State, are ordering rec
ord supplies. which are now being
stored.
The oAl movement over the Penn
sylvania railroad has assumed record
proportions, heavy shipments Of both
anthracite and bituminous coal being
made over the road daily. The inn
mense coal shipments are now
adding much to the railroads freight
traf az this time of the year. Com
pany coal shipments through Will
inington are also heavy. The coal is
being distributed at the Pennsy's
storing stations at various points. A
siding is now being installed for a
coal yard along the Pennsy tracks
at Farnhurst
Wilmington coal dealers fear some
trouble in the coal fields in the spring
and big orders have been placed with
the mines for prompt shipment. Con
sider.o.e coal will be stored in this
city by dealers. The operators are
also storing coal and big banks have
already been piled up.
Trouble is expected to result in the
spring when the agreement of the Bi-
luminous Miners Association expires
after a four-year working plan. There
fore dealers are fortifying themselves
and purchasing a supply to tide them
over a strike. The contract of the
anthracite workers expires at the
same time and both bltuminous and
anthracite coal is being stored.
The miners are busy at the present
time filing orders, the demand for
coal being strong. The winter rush
for coal is on, and this, together with
the fact that corporations and dealers
are storing their supplies, has result
cd in a shortage at the mines. So full
time is necessary.
Reports state that more coal is be-
ing shipped out of this country than
ever before. Steel mills are running
full time and consuming large quanti-
ties and the loss of foreign workmen
due to the war, is already presenting
a problem in some localities

 The treasurer's report suggested that the convention formulate plans which would be the least burden some to all and whereby an ade- quate income be obtained for the ordinary and necessary uses of the organization. That no fund of any kind was available only showed the necessity of a common sacrifice for the good of all.
 The other reports were those of Mir. Jackson and MT. Mercer as members of the other committees of last years convention. They both reiterated their experiences wLich showed that no benefit could be received from organization with out some system of work and rev cnue. The organization could not rnove along on air only as some would think, but like other societies of the kind it must be well conduct ed and supported both morally and financially to attain it's desired end. There were some of the usual formalities which the convention observed during it's entire session of three days which we cannot record here and in the following re- ports. As we have noticed before the people of Metlakahtla welcomed the delgates very heartily, and did their very best to entertain them in their good homes. They afforded every facility for their work which the delegates in turn appreciated more than words could tell.

NATIVE
 BROTHERHOOD
 CONVENTION
Metlakathla Nouember
 ? to 24 1915
First Session

The third annual convention of the Alaska Native Brotherhood was called to order at 10 o'clock am. Monday, Nov. 22, in the Metlakah- tia Benevolent Society Hall, by MT. Peter Simpson, the president and was opened with a brief prayer by the Rev. Edward Marsden, the sec retary.
 On account of the prevailing bad weather that prevented many from coming in their own boats, only a little more than half of the dele gates were present, and the roll as made out was as follows:
 Sitka: R. Young, F. Price, R. Walton, D. Howard, A Wanamaker, w. Jackson, c. Peck, D. Cameron, J. Willard, P Simpson.
 Juneau: F. Mercer, J. Watson.
 Wrangell: R. James, c. Worth ington, J. Kassunk, D. Austin, C.. Jones, c. S. Peterson, T. Yukas, P. Thomas.
 Kasaan: H. Swanson, G. Brooks.
 Ketchikan and Saxman: G.s Nc Kay, P. Kinninook, D. Kinninook.
 Metlakahtla: R. Davis, B. Hal dane, P. Mather, P. Verney, s. Dal- ton, E. Tait, M. Hamilton, D. Reece, A. Milton, M. Bolton, H. Murchison, J. Campbell.
 Nominations were then called for the officers of the convention, and after several brief addresses were made, the following officers were duly elected: President, Peter Simpson; secretary, Edward Mars cen; treasurer, Ralph Young. The chair appointed Wm. Jackson as recording clerk, and John Willard as sergeant-at-arms.
 In the absence of the recording clerk, P. J. Liberty, who had the matter in charge, the minutes of last years convention at Sitka were read in part by the secretary. These were approved as far as they went by the convention.
 The president then reported that during the last year there was much to encourage the movement among the native young men of the coast. In certain places where nothing but Indian feasts on large scales usual ly took precedence of everything else, the desire for a better civil i2ed life now seems to pervade the air in those places. Where a cor rect understanding of the native character was experienced the authorities seemed to take the right views of the native problems in- volved and to endeavor as far as possible to deal justly in the cases observed.
 By common consent the oral re- port of the secretary was given as chairman of last years committee on native citizenship. The report re- viewed the past efforts of many natives to attain a full American citizenship, not because they should be citizens according to their own judgement, but because they were entitled to the rights of the ordin- ary American citizens by their own fitness.
 The courts had variously ruled on the legal status of the natives and this Ind worked a hardship on those r2tvas who were worthy and were entitled to some just considerations. The report showed the various eff forts of the committee, and it's in- terviews with many of the public men in Alaska. Finally the last Territorial Legislature passed an act defining the legal status of the natives of Alaska which in fact granted the full rights of the American citizen to any of the

MIR. BRYAN,s PRoTEGEs.

Few men have entered upon the
duties of secretary of state with so
many political obligations as did Mr.,
Bryan and no secretary of state has
ever repaid his obligations by ap-
pointment to desirable office of so
many of his proteges. The assistant
secretary of state, John E. Osborne,
is not only a protege of Mr.. Bryan's
but was appointed to that office pii.
marily to look after Mr.. Bryan's po-
litical interests. Mr.. Bryan's son is
a U. s. District attorney and his SON
in-law holds well-compensated office
under the government His former
secretary, Robert +. Rose, is a foreign
trade adviser, and the other trade ad-
wiser is William B. Flemming, who
endeared himself to Mr.. Bryan by be-
ing the only man ever elected to the
bench in Louisville on the "16 to l"
ticket. Ex-Governor John Lind is a
close friend of Mr.. Bryan and there
are host of others throughout the
government service and the diplomatic
corps. Should the new secretary of
state be actuated by a determination
to fill these various offices with his
own friends, there would be such a
sweeping out of Bryanites that the
state department would hardly know
itself.
