RAILROADS STATE
PRESENT DESIRES

Washington, Dec. 10.-Railroads do
not seek repeal of the antitrust and
anti-pooling laws, and are notcons-d-
ering such a step as necessary to ac-
j complish the unified operation Of rail
lines, Fairfax Harrison, chairman Of
the railroad war board, today wrote
Senator Newlands, chairman of the
senate interstate commerce commit
tee. The letter was made public after
a conference with President Wilson.
The senator said the president might
send a special message to congress
dealing with the railroad situation. The
letter said the railroads do not ask for
billion loan because they could not
use the money, on account Of the diff
ficulty OF getting men and materials.
They request a-d of the government
through the treasury obtaining capitol
on its own individual credit. An i'm
mediate increase in freight rates, and
exemption of employees for military
service is necessary, Newlands was
told.

ALASKA WAGES
 MUST ADVANCE
 WITH THE GOLD

CHICAGO, Dec. 19. - Captain Mustard, now of the United States Medical Reserve Corps, former Nome physician, asserted today that Alas ka's gold production will be almost negligible if the war lasts through 1919, unless the government aids in relieving the labor shortage.
 Five dollars a day wages in Alas ka no longer induces laborers to go there" said Capt Mustard. Gold has appreciated fifty per cent recently owing to the lower purchasing power, We must have men in Alaska for de- velopment work and they must be paid more and the gold must advance in valuation.
