and Demands Stricter Law
by Congress

Seward. Alaska, June 25.-The United
States Grand Jury in a report to-day
asserts that certain Federal employees
opposing the war are seeking to delay
Federal projects and enterprises in
Alaska. The charge had been made
that opening of the coal field was being
wilfully delayed. The finding also sp-
parently covers the United States rail
road. The report says:
Investigation by US has revealed
that there Is an element in our midst,
some of whom are earning their liveli-
hood from the government, opposed to
the present war, who seek to foment
discomfort and disorder and who are
trying to impede the prosecution Of
governmental projects and enterprises,
and we therefore recommend that Con-
gress enact law that will amend our
present law on sedition and make it
an offence for any one by word or deed
70 try to stir up strife, arouse diff
culties or disorders in our industrial
conditions or interfere with or obstruct

should falter or break, then the burden
Of this country will be infinitely greater
than at present.
Responsibility Is in Individual
The responsibility FOR Americas food

primarily the education OF every Amer
