ALASKA'S HANDICAPS

Somes of the trials of the pioneer
Alaskans who waited for so many
years for authority to develop the
territory are exemplified by the Cor
dova Times in the case of John E.
Barrett, who located the site of the
now thriving town of Mccarthy, ad-
jacent to the great Bonanza copper
mine.
Barrett located his homestead ten
years ago, before the railroad was
completed to the mines. The railroad
needed part of his land for termin-
ais, but under the law Barrett stood
a chance of losing his claim IL he
offered to sell before receiving his
patent; thus he rented the terminal
property to the company. Later, dur
ing the gold rush to Shushanna, he
laid out a town and rented stores and
camp sites on twenty-five-year leases.
Some of the property has been occu-
pied in this way for ten years, and

master general to inform the house Of
Representatives what publications had
been denied the use of the mails, Mr..
Burleson stated that 1t would not be
compatible with the public interest
to supply the information. In other
words, II the postmaster general says
stop publication" you stop and ask
no questions.
Judging from the attitude taken by
member of the cabinet, who incl
dentally was not elected by the peo-
pie and who is not responsible to the
people, even the much denounced bu-
reaucracy of German Imperialism has
been exceeded. When a Berlin news
paper is suppressed the public learns
of it; when an American sheet is
gagged" it is incompatible" with
public interest to inform the people
or the peoples representatives of the
fact. Congress has no right to free
speech or the press.
The point is not that Suppression of
those sheets referred to was unjusti-
fled. 1t is known that several Social
istic papers with a pro-German trend
have been denied the privilege of the
mains. There are, in fact, other pub
LEGATIONS which are furthering the
German propaganda in this country
that should feel the weight of the law.
But refusal to give to congress the
names of the papers prohibited is
nothing short of bureaucracy run
mad.
The postmaster general, even be-
fore the war, attempted to wheedle
congress into granting him power to
restrict the right of free speech. Since
the war began, and congress defeat
ed the attempt to vest a few men with
the censorship law which would for
bid the criticism of a government Of
fetal, the crowd that needs to fear
honest criticism has made repeated
efforts to throttle the press by hook
or crook.
Some day the searchlight will be
turned on some of the incompetent
underlings at the capital and there
will not only be a general scurrying
to cover, but there will be a radical
shakeup in the administration of
some of the departments.

fourteen negro soldiers of the Twen-
ty-fourth United States infantry who
took part in last nights clashes with
the local authorities have been &C
counted for. Six we're arrested not
long after the disturbances took
place. Fourteen others, who escaped

at their camp this morning and were
placed under guard. There has been
no repetition of the shooting.
William Jones, a negro trooper,
was shot in the head and Patrolmen
Todd, Edgar Williams and Neal Har-
ris, both white, we're slightly injur-
ed. The troops arrived yesterday
from Ell Paso.
The trouble started when the ne
gro troopers, massed before a negro
cinema theatre, refused to permit
white persons to pass. Police re-
serves were called to clear the streets.
Later Patrolman Todd ia a fight with
one of the newcomers broke finger.
White citizens were congregated on
the city square when reports were re-
ceived that a group of fourteen sol
diers had left their camp for town to
start fight.
The rebellious troops were met by
a detachment of provost guards ard
policemen who dispersed them after
firing a volley into the camp.

STRIKE CALLED ON
GREAT IRON RANGE

BESSEMER, Mich, Aug. ia
general strike of all miners on the
Gogebic iron range was called today
as a result of a vote taken at a mass
meeting this afternoon. The strike is
to begin at O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing. Leaders of the men refused to
estimate the number that would be
called out, while representatives OF
the operators declared that most OF
the men were now satisfied with
working conditions and would not
strike.
Both sides are making preparations
for the coming conflict tonight, Min
ers said they would do all in their
power to prevent their men going to
work Monday. While the mass meet
ing was in session the mine superin-
tendents and police completed plans
to swear in a large number of depu-
ties. Although 5000 miners are en-
ployed in the district and thousands
appeared at the mass meeting, less
than $50 were empowered to vote
on the strike question.
The mine superintendent said they
had been appealed to by many of
their men, who asked that they be
protected from the strikers and de-
rIorod that :, largo Dprcantaya Of

of Internal Revenue Louis Murphy said
that wherever an admission Is charged

cent on each 10 cents of the admis-
sion. The individuals or organization
giving the dance will have to turn over
the tax to the collectors office. precise
ly as required of the theater men. The
collector wants the name and address
of every organization giving dances TO
which admission is charged at the door
or the names and addresses of indivld-
uals giving dances. Moreover. he wants
owners of town halls and theaters who
have received no communication from
his office to put themselves in CORE
spondence with him at once, since taxes
must be paid on every admission they
charge This goes too, for wrestling
matches and other sports and athletic

they would get the pigs to running
