 There seems to be systematic effort on Austras part to destroy the manhood of the Italians Hundreds of pr soners have been unseXed Hundreds have been stripped of every bit of clothing and left without food The wound ed have been left unattended and most of them have died of hunger. A plague of tuberculosis is raging, the Aust rians have injected the germ the prisoners Thousands of consumptives fill the prison camps and when the prison CTS condition become desperate the Austlians exchange them for Austans who have been treated kindly by the Italians During the past two days 300 prisoners have been exchanged and they are suffering from tuberculosis in advanced stages.

WHY IS II :?

The steamer fares between Valdez and Latouche are and S6 The distance between Valdez and LaTouche Is about 100 miles,
 The steamer fares between LaIOuche and Seward are S7 and$8 The distance is about 65 miles.
 Why is the discrimination made?
 This is matter the Chamber of Commerce special committee can take up with the representative of the Shipping Board when the freight and passenger rates are to be investigated in this city at special conference within the next ten days.
 There are about 800 men at Latouche They are trav cling almost weekly to Valdez Seward to spend few days then go back to the mines fishing industry Ii there was fair rate, Seward would secure greater share of the passenger business and those travelling would make better time Steamers to Seward go to Anchorage and then return here permitting the traveller from La Touche three days in Seward Travel to Valdez and re turn takes all the way from four days to a week.
 These are facts forming basis for most pronounce ed protest the steamship companies operating on the Southwestern Alaska route
