ROAD CREW STARTS FOR
 THE DELTA COUNTRY

Foreman Lars Holland, with Nels Jenson and Arthur Johnson, left this morning on the Aroline for Cordova, en route to the Delta country for the coming seasons work on the Valdez Fairbanks road.

MUCH MYSTERY
 IN FIELD CASE

A Fairbanks paper gives the fol- lowing details regarding the recent shooting of Clyde J. Field, the te1e- graph operator stationed at Salcha by his wife, few days ago.
 The first word of the shooting was received in Fairbanks when tele- gram was received from Mrs. Field stating that Field has been shot and requesting that physician be sent to the scene. Assistance was sent, and Field taken to hospital in Fair banks, where it was found that he had been twice wounded in the right leg between the thigh and the knee. and the wounds while painful. are not thought to be dangerous.
 Much mystery surrounds the shoot ing, and neither party will give any details surrounding the affair. Short ly after he was taken to the hospital he told reporter that the shooting was accidental, that his wife was handling an automatic revolver which went off accidentally and he was in line of the bullets.
 Dr. Cassell, who attended the man, states that he learned that the shoot ing was done through door. but has been unable to learn more. After the shooting Mrs. Field went from the Mission where the affair occurred to. the Munson Roadhouse, neerby, where she remained after sending the telegram to Fairbanks. She has re- fused to talk about the shooting.
 The couple were married about a month ago. While residing at Sal cha, both before and since her mar riage, Mrs. Field has been in charge of the Episcopal mission. And as Mr. Field, in his capacity of telegraph op- orator, had spent considerable of his time at the Salcha station about i've miles below Munson's, or the place where the Mission is located. they were apart a great deal of the tine. It was reported that the shooting was the result of a quarrel, although no statement to that effect has been made by anyone familiar with the af- fair. The statement of Field to the effect that the shooting was acciden- tai was apparently made with the in- tention of protecting his wife.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
 BY COMMISSION
ATTEMPT TO SETTLE WAGES
Board Appointed by Government to
 Settle Labor Trouble on Railroad
 Will Give Public Hearings to Labor Union Men-Unions Not Unjust.

President Sutherland, of the Alas ka Labor Union, announces that he received word this morning from the Commission sent to settle the differ ences between the workers and the Engineering Commission, and try to establish wage scale satisfactory to both sides, says the Cook Inlet Pio- neer.
 From his understanding, public hearing will be held by the gentle men of the commission, as soon as they can conveniently do so after ar irving at Anchorage, at which time and place the Alaska Labor Union will be permitted to state fully their reasons for demanding an increase in wages. Presumably the commission will gather all data and information so that comprehensive report can be made from the information gathered at the hearing. The Labor Union is trying to secure all available data to assist the commission, and they will appreciate the assistance of any one in Anchorage.
 The labor boys that this stand: They are not demanding anything out of reason. That the laborers who are here and in all probability who will come here from now on, do so for 8 dual purpose. First, to help build the railroad, and second, to become identified with the future develop ment of the territory. Therefore. they argue that the demands of the laborers are just and that the mod crate advance asked for in wages will all be returned to the territory.
