DELEGATE SULzER
 SEEKS COAL AIDS

Delegate Chas. A. Sulzer made a vigorous appeal. during the past month at hearing before the sen ate committee on public Ian Is, for the development of Alaska's cCal and oil resources. The hearing was attended by all the members of the committee and was with relation to Senate Bill No. 45, introduced by Senator Walsh, of Montana, pro- viding for the mining of coal, oil, phosphate. gas potassium and sodi- um on the public domain
 Immediate as the paramount ne cessity was emphasized by Alaska's representative in congress during his testimony. More liberal leases by the government to those seeking to develop the resources of the ter ritory, in view of the pioneer con- ditions, wele suggested by him as a remedy for the lethargy now ex- isting in regard to oil and coal con ditions in Alaska.
 MT. Chairman and Senators of the committee in the emergency which confronts the country at this time," Delegate Sulzer said in open ing his testimony, II think that all who are thoroughly familiar with conditions existing in the territory of Alaska realize that the resources in the prosecution of the war. The exports of Alaska consist, in lage part, of food-fish products, copper ore and the rarer metals, all of which are of great import ance in the war" ..~
 Delegate Sulzer asked specifically for a larger leasing area in both coal and oil leases, so that capital could be induced to come into the fields and expend the money neces- sary to develop a paying and pro- ductive mine or well. He also asked for less restrictions in an op- erating lease.
 "A man should be given more liberal consideration in order to induce him to come into Alaska, he said, and take the risks involv- ed in developing an entirely new country. The conditions existing in the coal areas are largely proble- matical; there are faults and vari- ous geological phases which have not been thoroughly demonstrated and a person engaged in developing an enterprise of that kind should have more liberal treatment, accord ing to my idea, than one operating in a known and developed field
 ''The interests of the government should be protected but the manage ment of a coal mine in pioneer field must be accorded more latitude and discretion than in a field where all the conditions have been thor oughly demonstrated. Otherwise people will not undertake to make the necessary investments. The Alaskan coal fields are Very eXten sive and it is extremely important in this emergency that the laws and regulations be such as to induce immediate and adequate develop ment"
 MT. Sulzer based his main argu- ment for the necessity of opening the oil fields on the acute situation

WAGE QUESTION SHELvED;
 WILL WAIT FOR CHARTER

For the present at least no furth- CT attempt will be made by the rec ently formed local labor organiza- tion to interfere with railroad con- struction work in this division or to press the demand made by the steel gang for an increase in the wage schedule. This decision was reached at a meeting of the organization held on Thursday night at the union headquarters in the Martin-McMil- Ian building.
 The meeting was attended by about sixty members, all of whom apparently agreed with Chairman A. E. Cameron when he pointed out to them that the organization had no status as a union and could not attempt to enforce any demands until a charter had been granted by the Alaska Labor union, to which organization application was made by wire several days ago. At the uilhC ol lAe HnocliHS Ao aNhiO"louS ment of the receipt of the wire had been received and it appeared to be matter of considerable doubt if the Anchorage body had the right to grant charter to another organ ization.
 Pending further enlightenment on the question, tn local organization will mark time, as it were. A few of the men who quit their jobs at the commencement of the trouble have returned to work, others of the organization have left for other camps, and more are planning to leave A number declared at the meeting that they would not go back to work until a change had been made in the schedule and ar engagements are now Icing made to house and feed those of the last mentioned who are without funds and who desire to remain in town until the question at issue is finally settled. A collection w2G taken up for that purpose during the meeting and about $30 raised. It will be necessary to raise much larger sum than that, however, for quite num- Der of the men are said to be with out funds A committee consisting of Secretary Chas Matson and two other members was appointed to provide tents and grub for the members who are to be taken care of by the organization.
 It was suggested by the chairman that an invitation be extended to the businessmen of the town to meet with the organization for the pur- pose of discussing various questions. including the probable price of pro- visions during the coming winter. This was seriously objected to by several of the members, however, on the ground that the "bean ped dlers," as the provision merchants were styled, were not to be depend- ed on in any emergency.
 Toward the close of the meeting the proceedings were explained by an interpreter to the Russian mem bers present of whom there were fifteen or twenty present in the hall.
 A call for new members added three or four signatures to the mem bership roll
 Another meeting of the organiza- tion will be held tonight, commenc- ing at eight o'clock.
 A collection also was taken up during the meeting to assist the Lestor family, residing at Dawson, and about $25 secured for that pur- pose

The men who quit thelr JoDS on the government works may as we'll go back to work. AS has already been stated by the News, no amount of organizing and no amount of agitating will alter present wage con ditiOns. The limit to which the government will go in this direction has been reached and if the men are wise they will accept what is offered in the spirit in which it is offered or seek employment elsewhere. There is no law to compel men to work for the commission and the government did not misrepresent conditions to in- duce men to come here. This is the open season for work. There is plenty of it for those who want it and plenty of it in the mines for those who prefer that kind of labor.
 But there is no room in Ne mana for lOafers; no room for those who seek to keep others from working; no room for professional agitatOrs. The authorities, the people of the town, those in charge of the railroad work and the men a. long the line are a unit on this point. This is a government enterprise, one in which every real Alaskan is interested, one which cannot be stopped now without serious consequences to the Interior country-and serious consequences to those who seek to stop it
 The railroad work in this division must continue without interruption and it will cOntin- ue. even if it neceSSitates the temporary closing of every business place in the town of Nenana. That is the atti- tude of those who realize the importance of the work, the early completion of which means not only improved busi- ness conditions but also better and steadier employment for the workingmen of the Inter- for.
 To those men who have not yet returned to their jobs on the road, we have this to say :: You are losing valuable time. If it is a grubstake you want, the quickest and easiest way to get it is to go to work and stay on the job. You can't win anything by holding out. You couldn't win anything if you closed the whole works down. The best that you can hope for, if you are broke, is a meal ticket, supplied, by your more saving associates, And if you are not broke now, you soon will be if YOU continue
