Such sttike would have prevented further transportation of supplies from end of track to Moose creek, headquarters for the summers operations, which work must be finished before trails and rOadS break up. The commission CT gave assurance of cooperating with the union committee in recom- mending an increase in wages. In viting and answering questions, he said: We don't run a blacklist, no discrimination will be shown and we will employ anyone who comes along"
 At later meeting, after a general debate lasting two hours. and during which all but an insignificant minor ity displayed an inclination to play fair" a resolution was adopted by a vote of about 994 to 6, in substance as follows: That the call for a general strike be deferred until after hear ing before the committee from the de- partment of labor; that work be re- sumed by the members of the union only on condition that the new wage scale date from time work is re sumed."
 The commissioners answer to this was a bulletin, announcing that work

would be resumed this morning on the unions terms. About 200 applied for work, and 30 went on the steel gang laying track in the local yards. The force in all departments is to be increased as rapidly as the reorgani- cation can be perfected and weather conditions permit, Mir. Mears stating that he expected at least 400 would be put on within the next ten days.
 The committee which is to repre- sent the union at the conference is to be composed of wage earners of diff ferent nationalities, trades and occu- pations affected by the walkout, and judged by the spirit of fairness which has marked the organizations every action, the fault will not be theirs if speedy, permanent and satisfactory settlement is not reached.
 Immediately after the walkout Su- perintendent of Construction OReilly, who isn't a French-American diplo- mat, attempted to play some nationali- ties against others in order to fill the vacant places, but his plan was not an entire success. Reports of lin- ion scouts indicate that the greater portion of the few mechanics and others who remained 'on the job, " and of so-called teamsters who took the vacated positions, are Austrians, Greeks, Irish Canadians and Ameri- can-Canadians.

s200,000 IN TERRITORIAL
 TREASURY

The Third division mines that are included in the properties of the re- gently organized Kennecott Company and the Chichagoff mine of the First division, have paid their 1916 taxes into the territorial treasury, under the provisions of the 1915 territorial revenue law. These companies have already paid all taxes due under the laws of the 1913 statute, without pro- test. and they have compiled with the 1915 law in the same spirit.
 The miscellaneous receipts of the territorial treasury since January 1 have been s143,43OOS. These are 1916 taxes collected under the terri torial revenue law of 1915. They do not include a great sum of cannery taxes, as these are being withheld pending the decision of the circuit court of appeals on the appeal of the cannery men from the decision of Judge Robert w. Jennings, sustaining the validity of the tax. It does in clude, however, $19,000 for 190 fish trap licenses. It also includes the funds received from insurance com panies and other miscellaneous items
 There is now in the territorial treasury more than $200,00O, and this sum will be greatly increased if the court of appeals upholds the validity of the fisheries tax law.

 An author who has wnn some success was telling the other day of the finest compliment he had ever been paid, It was the remark of a rural neighhor: T read that story of your in my wife's magazine.
