THEY'RE COMING AND GOING,
 OR VISA VERSA

Several mushers departed yester- day headed in anEasterly direction.
 Jack Devine for Kiana with a splendid team consisting of nine husky dogs. Jacks load of freight included 37 pounds of supplies for himself, and about 323 pounds of elementary lturature, gratuitously donated by local politicians, same to be distributed along the route, for the purpose of wising up the un- wise and unsophisticated rough necks.
 Amer (Slim) Rydeen also left, with Mrs. Dimmick in the sled as passenger. The latter two are bound for Candle.
 Judge Kepner and family left about the noon hour, headed for their home near the mouth of the Immachuck river.
 Two dog-teams comprised the lat ter expedition, the freight sled was piloted by a native and the Judge himself was in command of the passenger caravan.
 Al Wink1er and Andy Peterson also pulled out, their destination being in the vicinity of Golovin Bay. Dave Denny arrived from Teller yesterday afternoon.
 Maurice Fitzgerald also arrived about the same time from Point Woolcy.
 When Denny and Fitzgerald were in the vicinity of Wooley they en- countered very severe weather Fitzgerald had a little experience of his own, which would, if we could get the details, make a very inter esting story.
 A few native dog-teams also ar, rived last evening from Teller.
 Tom Jensen also arrived yester' day, from Jess creek. Tom and his partner Martin Ravenkilder are get. ting ready to clean out the Penny river ditch, preparatory for summer mining in the vicinity of Jess creek J Jensen and Ravenkilder have min ed in the aforesaid section of tht Peninsula for many years past. |

UNION RECOGNITION IS FIRST
 ESSENTIAL.

Recognition of the Miners Union, and $500 per day and board, for an eight-hour work day, on and after May 1st, 191S., is the first essential if employers would assist in the minimizing of the industrial dissatisfaction.
 ''In the first place, employers must recognize the union and deal with it.
 Recognition of the union has been the rock over which many an attempt at mediation has split. Elm ployers must be made to see that the working men have an inherent right to organize and present their case through the leaders of their or ganization. Until this principle, is generally accepted in this country we cannot hope to proceed far, for not only will we still have one of the main causes of industrial unrest still existent but we will lack any basis for a machinery with which to adjust the inevitable differences which arise."

DRASTIC STEPS ID ! STOP BONUS PLAN
 ARE ID BE TAKEN
Increase in Wages to Take Place of Bonus System to Be Approved by Fuel
 Administration

Washington, August 23.-Increase in the wages of coal miners as substitute
 for the payments of bonuses, for the stopping of which drastic steps are to be taken, will be approved by Fuel Ad ministrat or Garfield. President Frank J. Hayes and osher officials of the Uniteu Mine Workers of America received this
 answer from the fuel administrator to. day in response to their request for flat increase in wages in lieu of the paw ] ment of bonuses.
 Bonuses were characterized by MT. Gar field as "an evii' The announcement
 said the first action toward forcing the abandonment of the practice would be
 reduction of 20 cents a ton in the Cam
 bridge md Hooking fields of Ohio, ard rehuct.on of , cents . ton in all other Ohio fields excepting the eighth d;s. trict. From these fields. 1t was sas !. were received most of the complaints as to the payment of bonuses. Dr. Garfield recalled to Mr. Hayes and
 the other miners officials that they mad

 under which the wage increase grantsI
 them last October was to remain in force for thA aura ton of the war mot to ex- ceed two years from April l, 1918. The miners representatives did not present any definite demands for an il- crease, Lut stated the miners were de
 mandiny a substitute for the bonuses many of them had been receiving, anu that they wanted a flat wage larger thaa the present scale It was also repre- scnted that the miners are not receiving la living wage, and that under the bur ] den of the high cost Of living most miro workers were suffering hardships.
 If it Were only a case of abolishns the practice of paying bonuses one of the offie said in his plea. i've would
 not be here
 "The miners cannot live and support their families on the wages they get" Bonuses are an evil and must ne stopped" D,. Garfield said in reply. II
 am already acting upon that question. ! ConcerNng wages, the government is at present investigating the cost of living
 and wage conditions throughout the country. This will include. of course. | conditions in the mining fields. I shall l do all in my power to see that the com
 mission Investigating that subject is put l in full possession of the facts concern l ing mine working and be governed by 1 it's findings
 "But the proposal to consider an ad- vance of mine wages by itself raises a wholly different question. Speaking in ] your behalf and at your request. prom !, ised the President of the United States 1 last October that no other increases in
 wages would be asked for during the period of tho war I cannot and will not
 break that rromise.'
 | Convinced they could not obtain Dr. t;arfield's approval of their request for i the increase, the miners told him they
 would do the best they could Ito keep | things going" They said they could make no guarantees, however.

glorious harvest.
 Absence of any mention of American troops i'm the descriptions of the great fight lead to interested speculation as to the whereabouts of General Persh- ing's 30 divisions which, according to recent announcement, are to be includ- cd In the First American field army. That practically all of these units have completed the training for which they were brigaded with the French aud British has been known for sometime.
 General March, the chief of staff. in his interviews with the press has fre- quently referred to the return of ad- ditional divisions to the American commander in chief
 has been thought, however, that a considerable number of American troops still are with the British Third and Fourth armies, and most military officers were at a loss to understand why they had not been identified in the capture of some of the important ene- my positions over-run during the day.. Recent evidence of the mettle of Per- shing's forces made it certain, it was
 
 were with the allied troops, their local- ity tonight would be at the apex of the advance.
 The most interesting theory heard was that the movement of American divisions to the sector assigned to the First American army is under way, all the divisons heretofore with the British have been withdrawn for that purpose and replaced by new units or reorganized veteran. organizations brought up from rest billets. 1, Concentration at this time of the United States divisions on the all- American front, when the forward movement of the more northern armies promises so much, could only mean that General Foch has assigned to Per shing some important task closely linked with the major strategy. in the opinions of experts here. This may be in the nature of thrust in force to prevent the detachment of reserves to stop the gaps in Picardy. or a far reaching drive on the German flank as soon as he has got such movement well under way.
 Dispatches today declaring that a large number of new enemy divisions had been thrown into the struggle against the British. gave strength to this theory.
