Lumbermen to Fight
 The Eight Hour Law
lAssncL.l led rrcssl

SEATTLE, July 9.-Agreeing that il is abso, Itely necessary to maintain the maximum in the pro ductjon of their products, at least during the life of the war, l50 lun during the life of the war, 150 Ium- bermen, shinglemen and loggers in convention nere, have agreed to fight the eight hour day law recently passeI in this state. And to the cid that they may successfully fight what they claim is an obstruction to the nations business as well as to their individual work, the lum- bermen raised the sum of $500, GOO to carry on their campaign. After tonight's session of the convention eacn and every man III dlttuudICt, litII IIlItl NIS" "'u' said that it is his intention to operate for len hours per day, regardless of the law,
 The decision of the lumbcrmen means that they will enter the lists with labor for the benefit of the law which was passed. The IumbeImen claim that the cut of two hours pel. day from their working time means a cut of one fifth of their production, and this they have resolved shall not be cut Nothing more was stated at the convention tonight regard ing whether or not d raise in wages will accompany the ten hour day when it takes the place of the eight hour shift, but is un- derstood that some of the lumber manufacturers have already agreed to raise the wages of their employees on a scale commen- surate with what they re- ceive per hour for eight hours work

Associated PreSS)

SPOKANE, July 9.-The baseball season for the teams composing the Northwestern league will officially end on Saturday. For at a meeting of the directors of the league held here tonight it was decided to call d halt in the playing at that time. In the meantime the teams composing the league will play their scheduled games All games after Saturday will be called off
 The teams in the league have all played exceptionally poor ball this season. That is thought to be one of the reasons why the season has been ended by the directors of the league before time for its expiration, The league is composed of teams from Seattle, Vancouver, Tacoma, Spokane, Great Falls and Butte

F armers Reply to
 Wilson S Statement
Associated PreSS)

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 9. That President Wilson's appeal for larger crops than were ever raised before in the history of the country be the outcome of farming in the United States in 1917 did not fall on deaf ears, is evidenced by the report of crop conditions received from all parts of the country by the agricultural department. For the reports show that bumper crops have been raised or are being raised everywhere, and that the output of the soil this year will be approximately one billion more bushels of the principal food crops than in 1916 The larg est increase is noted in corn, of which fully a half billion more bushels will be raised this year than last. The other half billion increase is from bumper crops of other food cereals and garden products, raised chiefly in home gardens, the latter a direct answer to the appeal of the President. Wheat shows the smallest increase of any crop, for the reason that there was no war in sight at the time the crop was planted last fall.
 At the time war was declared President Wilson issued an ap- peal to the American farmer say ing that the fate of the war and of the nation rested upon him and his ability to raise crops. The answer to his declaration is evidenced in the department of agriculture reports which show that the farmers, by their works, have answered the ap- peal.

WILL ATTEMPT T0STARVE0 OUT
 THE GERMANS
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 9.-A bill of the admin i>tration introduced ill the house of representatives to day reveals the fact that the allies will not make an at tempt to starye Germany into submission by issuing order, to all neutral nations to cease trading with the central pow CTS. And 1t is now believed that the measure will pass with but little trouble, al though there has been some objection to it, as such good progress was made with it in the house today In fact, 1t k expected to pass the house mot later than Thursday. The bill complies with all ol the provisions of the procIama- ton issued by President Will son on Sunday, in which all exports from this country to neutral nations were taken lover with the idea of prevent ing anything in the way of supplies from reaching Ger many from the United States through neutral ports and in compliance with the embargo act.
 Representative I,enroot, Oi Wisconsin, opposed the bill today, declaring that the pro visions which prohibit nett trals from trading with the central powers are in direct violation of international law. His opposition was brought up by an application to export ten cargoes of meal for cattle food to Germany. from Denmark, This appli- cation confronts America with the problem of how far this embargo power can be used in the matter of prevent ing foodstuffs and supplies from reaching Germany. Whether or not the applica- tion will be granted remains to be seen, but 1t Is under stood that the officials believe that its granting depends on a definite understanding re garding Denmark's dairy and other exports to Germany.

STRIKERS AT NENANA MAKE
 MORE PLANS
Especial to The CitlZenl

NENANA, Jul 9-AnCther big mass meeting instigated by strike agita tors was held here tonight, the hall in which it was held being com pletely crowded. It was decided at the meeting that a permanent labor organization should be formed and that the demands of the men should be raised from $4 per day and board to $45O per day and board An other meeting will be held tonight, and Commissioner Thomas Riggs, Jr., has been requested. to be in at tendance At this meeting the or ganiZation will explain it's cause to Commissioner Riggs and will make formal demand upon the government for raise in wages. And it is stated here tonight that should the demands of the men not be met a general strike will be called.
 The hall in which the labor orga- nization will meet was rented for one month tonight. the sum of $75 being collected from the assemblage. One woman has offered her lodging house to such laborers as are un- able to pay for lodging until such time as they procure work.
 In the meantime, however, work on railroad construction is going on steadily. Not to exceed sixty men are striking, and some of these have expressed the wish that they had not struck, claiming that it was just a matter of their being coaXed away from their work by agitators. One delegation from one of the steel camps, in fact, came to town on the railroad, after being granted free transportation by Commissioner Riggs, and returned to work after they had listened to the plans of the agitators.
 Although nothing came out at the meeting tonight, the local organiza- tion is undersood to have received support from the union at Anchor age by wire.

The proportion of aliens among male Germans 21 years of age and over is very much smaller than the corresponding proportions for the oth- CT countries named, having been only a little more than Il per cent Tn 1910, as against approximately 63 per cent for Austrians, "A per cent for Hungarians, S2 per cent for Turks, and nearly 90 per cent for Bulgarians.
The Alaska citizen., 1917-07-16

It is impossible to say whether the proportions of aliens-that is, persons who have not applied for naturalization certificates among these foreigners are approximately the same in 1917 as they were in 1910; but, assuming this to be the case, the number of male aliens 2l years of age and over included in the above total would be approXl- mately 964,0o0, or about 3.2 per cent of the total number of male tnhabi- tants 21 years of age and over The distribution of these aliens, accord ing to country of birth, would be as follows:

CENSUS REPORT
 ON FOREIGNERS

WASHINGTON, D. C. June 1S- The natives of Germany, Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey now residing in the United States aggre- gate approximately 4,G62 ,000, or about 412 per cent of the total population of the country.
 The foregoing total is announced by Director Sam l.. Rogers, of the bureau of the census, department of commerce, as the result of a calcu- Iation based on the census figures of 1910, the reports of the bureau of immigration for the period be tween 1910 and the present time, and the estimated mortality during that period. Although it is not pos sible by this method to determine with absolute eXaCtness the number of natives of the countries named now living in the United States, it is believed that the results obtained represent reasonably close approXi- nation to the facts.
 These 1862, ,00O foreigners are dis tributed, according to country of birth, as follows:

EYEWITNESS DESCRIPTION
OF GREAT KRUPP WORKS.

description by its war correspondent,
Adolf Rooster. Of the Krupp munitlon
plant at Essen.
This greatest private undertaking
of the country writes Rooster, rep

two corps.
"krupps today is half nationalized,
like every other large private under
taking.
The number Of Krupp workmen
and officials has grown nightly since
the autumn OF 1914. In quality the
workers and officials are necessarily
different from what they once were.
The field army with its claims has
made n big inroad on personnel. es.

To-day women constitute one
fourth Of the whole personnel; a
strong wOmen's division helps TO
maintain the largest German private
undertaking. The women work In the
Offices and In the workshops, many
OF them not far from the furnaces
The managers express high appreci
alton OF their achieyements-esp
ally in the workshops.
I'm addition TO the difficulties OF
supplying personnel, there have
from time to time been certain din
culties in supplying material. Until
the outbreak of war two.thirds OF IN,
ores that we're used came, from
abroad. But In spite Of all those dif
| ficulties the concern has grown con
stantly, and there has been no falling
off in the quality Of its work.
