 IN SKAGWAY

Ourstionnaires to be filled in by all men subject to draft have ar rived in Skagway and are now in the hands of the secretary of the local exemption board, E. J. Shaw. They will not be mailed to the different individuals until tele- graDuic or written orders are re- ceiya1 from the governor. Twenty Gaya Ere allowed in which to ans wcr each set of questions sent out; anyone not answering them in that time is subject to Imprisonment.
 No word has been received by the board as to just when the drawing will take place, or by whom. It is supposed that Governor Strong or Provost Marshal Crowder will draw the Alaska numbers. News from the states is to the effect that the second draft there will pro 5ably be completed in February, Alaska offers many different prob lems In transportation and it is thcukt extra time will be allowed, SC that the actual draft will not take place until spring. This, however, is not official, and it is thought in some quarters that the Alaska draft will take place the same time as In the states. l

PAY IN ADVANCE,
ICEMAN'S
SAYSH. C. HADDIN

Formal complaint against efforts
OF at least one ice man in the Chevy
Chase territory to. enforce payment
in advance for all ice delivered was
filed with Food Administrator Clar-
ence r. Wilson today by H. G. Haddin,
of 1928 Livingston street. Chevy
Chase.
Mr.. Haddin offered to pay cash for
all ice received, but he stated that the
Ice man refused unless he bought a
coupon book in advance for 50 or IS.
"In effect" be said, 'this arrange
ment compels the public to finance the
ice mans business for him. and no
discount or other privilege Is offered
as an inducement. In addition. there
are many poor people OF Washington
who would not be able to lay out
SO or IS in advance to get ice.
No Weight Specified.
"The coupons offered do not specify
quantities or weights, but merely
price values. They give no indication
of the weight Of ice for a 10-cent
coupon. and put all customers in the
position Of buying by price instead OF
by weight. contrary to the advice Of
officials"
Mr.. Haddin says that ice in Chevy
Chase and other suburban territory
is selling at the rate 81 20 cents a
hundred pounds. His letter to Food
Administrator Wilson is, in part. As
follows:
This morning the driver of Fred
J. Hughes notified me that ! would
have to buy a coupon for S3 OF $5 and
pay cash for same in advance or he
could not leave any more ice. ] told
him that / would pay cash for my
ice as 1 received il. and that l could
not see why / should furnish money
to finance his business. The driver
said he was sorry but that his in
structions were, he could not sell for
cash"
"Mean and ContemptibIe."
In the meantime the manager
called to see me, and on learning OF
this 1 called Fred ]. Hughes b.
phone. He said that he would not
sell for cash. He said that I was
the only one who would not buy a
coupon book and pay in advance, and
that he would not sell me ice for
cash as / purchased 1t. and further
that | was mean and contemplate
or l would not complain.
Il am writing you this letter as I
believe there is no justice in Mr..
Hughes stand. fully realize there
is a shortage OF labor. and manufac-
turing costs are higher. but S14 a ton
for ice Is a good price.
Thanking you. | await your reply.
as no doubt Mr.. Hughes Will refuse
to sell me ice"
Mr.. Laddin explained further that
the Chevy territory had been split be-
tween two men and there was no
competition.
