PEOPLE BEING "GOCGED"
By AMERICAN FLAG MAKERS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. T.
Legislation to protect the public
against unreasonable prices for
American flags was urged in a report
to the senate today by the federal
trade commission, which has investi-
gated charges of "gouging" by deal
ers made at the time the United
States entered the war. The commits
sion reported that the recent rise in
prices was due to unprecedented de-
mand and attempts by an associa-
tion of flag makers to fix prices. The
company has ordered proceedings to
stop attempts recently made to fix a
new standard at 100 per cent above
old prices as means of guarding the
probable decline in the market when
the supply again overtakes the de-
mand.

NEAR RIOT
AT CANNERY
YOUNGSTERS STRIKE FOR
HIGHER WAGE SCALE
Valdez Youngsters Walk Out When
Manager Emil Resusesto Raise the
Scale for Filling Cases to u Cent
Case.

What may develop into a serious
strike, and aven entail the loss of
much sanguinary fluid unless the gov
ernment intervenes, occurred today
at the cannery of the Valdez Packing
Company when a number of young
sters engaged in piling cans demand
ed more wages, and upon being refus-
ed walked out in q body, leaving sal
man en- can scattered over the floor
of Valdez chief industry. Manager
Emil is paying three-quarters Of a
cent a case for packing, but the strik-
ers demanded a cent a case, and the
casus belli remains in statu quo as 1t
were, pending the recession of one or
the other of the principals from their
position. After the strikers quit work
they stopped and are still out. 1t is
one of the most embarrassing posi-
tions our city has ever been placed
in, and will undoubtedly cause much
structure of the activities of the Val
dez I. w. WIS by Seattle papers.
Investigation by the authorities
failed to uncover any lack Of patriot
ism or Anarchist plot In the strike.
and Alaska Egan, prime mover in the
attempt to reduce the high cost of
living disclaimed any attempt to
help the kaiser to tie up Valdez
main industry. The boys wired the
President that troops were unneces-
sary as they would see that order
was maintained among the strikers.
many of whom had already left for
the old swimming hole by the dixie.
Manager Emil. realizing the SER
iousness Of the situation, and aware
of the fact that the city marshal was
at Gulkana and could afford him no
protection, tried to induce the boys
to return to work, but under Alaska
Egan's firm dominance they refused
to even consider returning until their
demands were granted. After keep
ing the wires hot conferring with the
authorities at Washington, and be-
lieving that the best interests of the
city demanded the prompt suppress
sion of any I. w. w. tendencies Mr..
Emil agreed to give the boys a good
lunch provided they work overtime
but his demands were refused. yea,
even spurned. At late hour today
the strikers were holding firm in
their demands. and the end is not
yet. II the six o'clock gun fails to
ring at Fort Liscum tonight it will
be because the army is guarding the
