 ACT Ol LAY

When interviewed yesterday after noon as to the action they would take with regard to appealing to the governor to set aside the eight hour law, as requested in the tele- gram received by The Citizen from the Cordoya Time, officials of the Fairbanks Loyal League were unable to state just what action would be taken.
 It seemed the consensus of opinion that an executive meeting of the officers of the league would be called in the near future, and that in all probability the league as a whole would petition the governor to set aside the law while the war lasts, this seeming to be the desire of most of the people of this district

Bitter condemnation of German Amer

resolutions passed at meetings of Ger

"German-American could not pc

War Breaks Out In
Salem High School
JanitOr the Victor

The ianitor broke through the strug-
Cling mass of frantic fighters and re-
gardless of personal danger, siezed the
ladder, mounted to the TOP round,
grasped the banner and descended to
the ground regardless of the threaten
ing looks of the scOwling mob. This is
the last chapter of the story. There
is no preface, but the story runs along
about like this: The seniors of the
Salem high school painted their mum
erals on banner, hanging said banner
on the telephone line leading into the
school. This was done about the mystic
hour of midnight This morning the
juniors arrived for the daily mental
tribulations, the banner was floating
gailv in the breeze. There was a call
to arms of juniors to remove the of
Tending banner. The seniors responded
iovfullv to the fray and for about q
quarter of an hour there was an ele-
CANT scrap on. And just as the fight
was developing into first class scrim-
mage, the ianitor appeared ON the scene,
cot the banner and slowed it away in
the furnace. He also umpired the game
as a draw. P. S.--The janitor, Mr.
Rose. developed a sudden interest in
the scrap when he saw the boys were
about to ruin his ladder. Hence the
rescue of the banner and with the ban
ncr he carried off his ladder.

There was a gradual crumbling of

noon session, with particular weakness
in public utilities and rails. Amer

fractional. The rails sold down from

COMMITTEE TO HAVE
CHARGE OF FLAX FUND
Commercial Club Members
Who Are GuarantOrs
Name Managers

A committee of five were appointed
to have charge of the $4,000 euarap-
teed flax fund of the Commercial club
at a meeting held last evening of those
who had signed as guarantors. On this
committee are Fred W. Steusloff. Hen.
ry W. Meyers and Theodore Roth who
will attend to the business that NAV
arise in connection with the flax busi.
ness, and Ivan G. Mcdaniel and Har-
~ Schooth who will take care of the
details of the work.
This spring, 25l acres will be sown
in flax and TO assure the farmers who
raise flax an immediate cash market,
26 business men agreed to guarantee
the amount necessary to handle the
crop which is estimated to be about
$4,000.
Superintendent Crawford of the
state flax plant rather favored the plan
of smaller flax plants like the one at
Turner, rather than a big plant. With
the smaller plants the reputation of
this community for flax growing could
gradually be established. The idea of a
gradual development of the industry,
as suggested by Mr.. Crawford, was fav-
Ored by those interested. Mr.. Crawford
told the meeting that flax should be
sown by the 25th of May and that he
would not advise later date.
