JUNEAU, June 13-(Special to The Citizen) n)-There is no doubt but what George B. Grigsby has defeated Jones, the labor candidate, for dele gate to congress. With 12 precincts from the First division, 6 from the Second division, 36 from the Third and a score from the Fourth division still unreported, Grigsby has a total vote of 2,518. There is just an even nine hundred votes differ ence between the two contestants, Jones getting 1,618 votes in the pre- cints reported. It is thot hardly prob able that Grigsby's lead will be di- unfinished any by the precincts yet unheard from as practically all the places which would poll labor vote of any size have made their returns.
 MT. Grigsby is leaving tonight for Washington where he will oppose Wickersham in the latter's contest over the delegates seat. It is thot probable that the canvassing board will meet some time next week for the purpose of deciding which candi- date has been elected.

URGING RATIFICA- TON OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS ARE SENT SENATE BY CHURCH PEACE UNION; SIGNED BY MANY PROMINENT MEN.
Democrats Intend
 Make Hard Fight
GROUP OF LEADING DEMOCRATIC SENATORS WILL ENDEAVOR TO PREVENT KNOX'S RESOLUTION EVER COMING TO VOTE; HARD BATTLE TO BE FOUGHT.

NEW YORK, June 13.-P)-Bitter opposition to the resolution introduc- ed in the senate by Senator Finland CT c. Knox providing for the separa- tion of the league of nations coven- ant from the peace treaty, has de- veloped among many national civic and welfare organizations.
 A resolution was forwarded to the senate today by the Church Peace union urging that the league of na- tions be ratified by that body. The resolution upholds the league in every way declaring that it is the end for which the youths of the allies willingly and gladly laid down their lives. Among the signers of the reso- lution forwarded the senate are form CT President Howard P. Taft, Car dinal Gibbons and John R. Mott, a leading Y. M. c. A. official.
 Altho a member of the same po- litical party as the league opponents in the senate, MT. Taft has always been an ardent supporter of the idea. several times voicing his opinion of those who would destroy this great benefit to mankind.
 ENDEAvOR TO PREVENT VOTE
 WASHINGTON, June 13.-R)-A group of the leading democratic sena- tors have announced their intention to use the same tactics in the fight over the republican resolution per taining to the league of nations as those used by the filibusters in the last session of congress in their de- feat of important appropriation bills.
 An endeavor is to be made to pre- vent the resolution introduced by Senator Knox from ever coming to a vote. The democrats are convinced that the resolution is not supported by the majority of the American peo- pie and they do not intend to stand idly by and see the resolution passed on account of preponderance of re- publican votes. It is the privilege of a senator to address the senate concerning any measure before it is brot up for vote for an indefinite length of time, all that is necessary is that he keep talking. In this way, lit is possible to prevent the measure from ever coming to a vote.

FIFTY PERCENT OF VANCOUVER TELEGRAPH OPERATORS JOIN STRIKE: SERVICE STILL MAIN TANNED BUT CRIPPLED TO A CERTAIN EXTENT.

VANCOUVER, June 19.-(P)-In strong terms, over one thousand re- turned soldiers today condemned the labor leaders for the general strike and the unsettled conditions of this city and other Canadian towns. The soldiers met in one of the large halls here and adopted resolution stat ing they unqualifiedly opposed the strike in every way The resolution also expressed the greatest distrust of the labor leaders. In the opinion of the returned army men, the labor ties have not the interests of the city or country at heart and those who agitate the strike are not patriotic in the least.
 The strike has seriously inconveni- enced the soldiers in finding employ ment after their discharge from the army. Many of the places in which they hoped to secure work are clos. eu ulllIl lilt ldDOl llOuOAO lo oCttASN'

WASHINGTON, June 13.-P)-A systematic effort is being made by some unknown parties to discountcn- ance the project of Secretary Frank lin K. Lane providing farms for re turned soldiers. The public lands committee of the house is now try ing to find the source of the propa- ganda which is being spread broad cast thru the country. This propa ganda is designed for the sole pur- pose of defeating the project, setting forth many reasons why Farms for Soldiers" should not be considered.
 It is reported upon good authority that circulars have been sent the newspapers in all parts of the coun- try charging that T. c. Atkeson, rep resenting the National Grange, did not get fair hearing when he ap- peared before the public lands com mittee to present the Grange's reso- lution opposing the Lane measure. The committee declares that AtkesOn was accorded every courtesy and there is no reason for the statement being made that they discriminated against him. The committee says that it will continue it's investigation un- til the source of the propaganda has been discovered.

The trip, however, was not made, as some trouble arose at Nenana, and mes- sage was received by the local team at the last minute from that place saying that the deal was off. It was too late in the day then to make any other arrangements, so no game was played.

Manager Beam said yesterday that his team would not go to Ne mana until a team from there had appeared on the local field, as the last series of games between the two teams was played at the lower river town.

 MERCIAL VESSELS

WASHINGTON, June 13.-P)-A resolution was presented to the con- mercial committee of the senate to- day by the federal shipping board providing that the government shall cease the construction and operation of commercial ships as soon as pos sible.

The board states that there is now no necessity for the government maintaining a line of commercial boats and under the present conditions 1t is not good policy to do so.
 The committee will take the reso- lution of the federal shipping board under advisement at once and it is expected a report will be rendered on it next week.
