NEW ENGLAND PHONE
 SYSTEM IS TIED UP
Thousands of Operators Out on Strike; No Agreement
 in Sight

BOSTON. April 15.-New England settled down tonight to the uncom- fortable realization that telephone ser vice in this section, except in Connec- ticut, had been almost completely tied up by the strike of several thousand operators of the New England Tele- phone & Telegraph company. and the providence Telephone company. The girls walked out at a. m.
 No move toward settlement had been made tonight. The operators seek a wage advance and the oppor- tmity of bargaining directly with the officials of the companies They de clare that since the wire swere taken over by the postoffice department they have been unable to obtain proper con sideration of their demands. Postmas- ter General Burleson has insisted that he has provided machinery for the handling of wage questions and that the operators have failed to take ad- vantage of it.

PARIS, April 15.-Herbert Hoover, director general of food relief in Flu rope for all the allied governments, and Lieut.. Col Robert E. OIds, Red Cross commissioner for Europe. have issued the following joint statement:
 There is no basis of truth what ever in the report appearing in some of the press this morning that the American Red Cross has been asked by the United States, or by any other government to undertake the relief of Europe or to fight bolshevism with food
 "The American Red Cross is en- gagged to the extent of it's resources, which are comparatively limited, in endeavoring to bring relief in the form of medical and ship supplies, cloth ing and foods for the sick and to such populations as it can reach with it's services. At the present time much attentio his being devoted to cpl denies of typhus and other contagious diseases. Fighting the famine of Flu rope is an affair of governments and cannot possibly be undertaken by the American Red Cross.

From R. A. Long, Sec'y-Treas.
 Associated wi t h Messrs. Nance, Hemphill and Duncan. it has been my pleasure to have been connected with the promo tion of two other oil compa- nies. in Burburnett, which com panies are now producing oil in paving qualities. I faithfully looked after the affairs of these companies because I wanted the public, my friends, associ- ates and myself to have square deal. I was financially interested in these companies. as l am in the present company. 1 will put forth the came efforts to further the interest of this company and take care of the stockholders' interest as I have before.
 My record so far is enc that any man would be proud of as an oil man, and my associates bear, a like record. I expect and intend to maintain this rec ord, and promise YOU that I will guard YOUR interest: be- cause your interest is my in- terest.
 1 believe that we will get good we'll on our 42 acres. When we do, I will make money. my associates will. and YOU, the stockholders in general. will. Should we fail to strike oil. YOU are the WINNER cn our GUARANTEE PLAN. We are practically betting S25,00O.OO that WE WILL STRIKE OIL. I have been on the lease many times, and I am not afraid we are going to lose the bet.
 If you want to follow the ad- vice of men who have been in the field continuously since last September, whose judgment has merit, and you are businessman or businesswOman of sufficient pluck to take reasonable chance, I fully recommend the stock of THIS COMPANY, and will be glad to see my friends buy it.

The Alaska daily empire., 1919-04-14
Most of the Members Of the Legislature Are Dele- gates to the Grand
 IqIoO Meeting.
IS IMPORTANT SESSION
Expected Number of Things Connected With the Wel- fare of Alaska to Be
 Taken Up.

The Grand Igloo, which is the judicial and legislative body of the Pioneers of Alaska, will meet at Moose Hall at S30 tomorrow even- ing. This is an important meeting as the Grand Igloo will represent all the local lodges of the Territory in the matter of legislation and jul dicial matters.
 The delegates elected to the Grand Igloo are elected by the subordinate Igloos, one to every 50 members and fraction thereof Under the Con- stitution the Grand Lodge is to meet annually at place designated at the last meeting held.
 Since most of the members of the Legislature are members of the Pion- eers, it was decided that on alter native years the meeting should be held in Juneau, when the Legisla- ture is in session. In 1913, 19 out of "A were members of the Pioneers in 1915 it run over 20 and there are over 20 in the present Legislature. They carry proxies from the subordin- ate Igloos to the Grand Lodge.
 Two years ago they met in Juneau, They elected Cecil Clegg, of Fair banks. Grand President; L. V. Ray, Grand Secretary, with quorum of officers at Fairbanks to transact all business to come before the meeting
 This years Juneau session of the Grand Lodge is most important, fol lowing the war, to transact such business as may be presented, and to decide upon the next meeting place of the Grand Lodge.
 Renewed interest Is aroused in the Pioneers of Alaska, owing to the fact that they have always been active in Alaskan affairs, and will be more so since the reconstruction period is about to begin in Alaska, and from all signs this will be one of the most important meetings to be held. It is expected an honor roll of the dead will be prepared and published. Dur ing the past year number of promi- nent old-timers have died.
 When the meeting is called to or der, about the first business on hand will be for the appointment of ere dentials' committee to examine ere dentials for the delegates and prox- ies for the meeting.

proposed plan be carried out, the people of Alaska are in for big dis appointment Private corporations are not going to enter into competi- tion with the Government and it is a sure thing that when the Govern ment enters into the business Of operating vessels, it will mean the gradual withdrawal and elimination of independent service.
 Our company lost $272,479 on all of it's Alaska business last year, and does not expect to make any this year, notwithstanding the somewhat increased rates. We have made a great many attempts to charter Gov ernment vessels, but have invariably found that it would mean a heavy loss, as it is an impossibility for any one to come out even on any Alaska business at the charter rates now in effect, so if the Territory goes into the steamship business with charter ed boats they should be prepared to lose good many hard dollars on each one of the vessels they oper ate
 If the Alaska Government should operate a boat on the Nome run, it would mean that our company would have to withdraw the Senator, as she is profitably engaged in other trade, and unless we could get all of the business at the increased rates, the ship would lose money. The same applies to both the South western and Southeastern routes, as there is only a limited business to handle, so if the Territory operates vessels on these routes, it would leave us free to withdraw our ships to engage in a more profitable tradt
