There was no meeting of the Council last night owing to the ab- sence of three members, Thompson, l the Mayor and A. D. Poteet. The | business of the city is now in such shape that the neglect of the coun- which they were electo,. is causing serious inconvenience. M'Allister Ross, Rose and Burgh are the only members of the board in town at the present time.

Ment took in practically every camp in the interior and the government road as we'll He says that the only camp which was short of men was at Marshal where they grabbed up any new conner that come along In the rest there were more than enough men and with sad consequences for the laborites. The Alaska railroad had conceived it's special function under the New | Freedom to be that of cutting the gO- ing wages in the country, and had set up a scale of peonism of their own which led to a revolt of the slaves at Anchorage and way points. 1 The eight hour law in most of the camps is a joke, the Grand Jury in dicted some violators in the Fourth Division, but the indictment so far was receiving no official support On the government road, the Alaska Road Commission at Long Creek also was trying it's best to establish a low scale of wages, four dollars a day being paid while the mining claims paid five Why this reduc- ton in wages is not explained, eX- cept the officials in charge want to work-up and stand-in with "the best people,.
