CORDOVA OBJECTS PROVISIONS
 GENERAL LEASING LAW

At a meeting of the executive com mittee of the Cordova Chamber or Commerce the following resolutions were unanimously adopted and copies sent to the different members of the committee on Public Lands in both the senate and the house of representa- tives:
 Whereas senate bill 2S12, known as the General Leasing Bill, was re- ported for passage by the senate com mittee on public lands, on Sept. s, 1917, and the same is now on the calendar. Said bill provides for the, leasing of all coal lands belonging to the government except the coal lands in Alaska, probably on the theory that there is already a coal leasing law for Alaska. Said bill, offers the alternative right to purchase coal lands by competitive bidding when the lands are situate in Any State of the Union," and denies by such lang uage the right to purchase coal lands in Alaska, and
 Whereas by reason of the drastic provisions of he.Alaska coal leasing law and regulations, it has proved wholly imperative, two leases only having been granted on which only small amount of prospecting work is being done and no coal is being mined, while the need for coal in Al aska, always urgent, has proven more so within the last year by reason ol the shortage of the fuel oil supply from California and the high cost oi ocean transportation. and
 l Whereas, for more than twenty years the people of Alaska have been striving for the right to mine and use some of the vast coal deposits in the 1 Territory, while the general govern ment which owns the land, has through it's bureaus, constantly rrus trated all efforts to develop the coa fields and has nullified no less thar five separate acts of congress, pass ed and intended for that purpose. ! It is hereby resolved that it is the sense of the Cordova Chamber that tC grant the right to purchase coai lands in the states and deny the same righ to Alaska would be a rank and crue discrimination.
 We heartily commend the action O Delegate Sulzer in striving to secure an amendment to said bill s. 2S12 and we demand that the unfair ant unreasonable discrimination agains against Alaska be removed and the same opportunity for development bt granted to Alaska that may be of fered for the western statesS
